I've just looked into reviews of Gate... and you are absolutely right. I mean, Christ, it's so far right in its political stance that it makes fans of Lazio (an Italian soccer club notorious for their Nazi-sympathetic views) blush. Seriously, I think we all know how the last time Japan was taken over by fascists like Gate's author went (read: not pretty for anyone in Asia, especially Japan).
I was going to try it, but the author of the light novel makes me sick so I'm not going to bother with it now.
By the way, those lame character names really don't help the series' case. Seriously? Pino Co Lada?! Please tell me you made that name up...

Also, speaking of Junjou Romantica, it has "Rape isn't Considered as a Bad Thing" on mangaupdates

RC tends to gloss over the more controversial aspects of what they preview. Makes for sort of a counterpoint to a lot of other previews
Most often the bulk of the money comes from whoever owns the property
Sometimes they actually buy physical copies
My watches for the season:
Symphogear GX
Gangsta
God Eater anime
More Shokugeki No Soma
And for lols, Bikini Warriors (the producers did say that they aren't going for deep story and being honest about being all about the tits, they get credit for that).

Watch SymphogearThe main protag is also explicitly drawn like a chick, nobody comments on how imperial investigator guy thinks that the artistic dismemberment is fun and everyone is a grey blob until introduced but the actual character designs still look terribad so they must not have had much of a budget to begin with.
Sufficed to say i'm not feeding more of my time to this series. The trainwreck has already crashed screeching and smoking through the station, headed straight for the cliff DRAM Atical Murder ran off last year.
es for Gate, wow that was an average first half of an episode, I see they're taking a week long commercial break.
But for real though, not great, not terrible just not much in the episode to make a serious judgment.
Ranpo Kitan: The content and the main character and the teen detective and probably the new teacher are pretty disturbing, but I'll probably give it another shot next week (not like it's gonna get any less creepy). I highly doubt I'll watch the whole thing through. And yeah, having a round face and a female voice actor is one thing, but this child also has a woman's hips and rear and I wonder if this is a plot point or simply an aesthetic choice. More importantly his personality is really, really troubling. You have a boyfriend, please stop hanging out with drug addicts and looking at dead bodies (interspersed with doing something randomly kawaii). Oh well, middle school is a rough time for many youths.
Anywho, Gatchaman Crowds Insight is a thing and Non Non Biyori Repeat is coming. Non Non Biyori is love. Non Non Biyori is life.
Loves feel-good animation a whole lot.

Oh my fucking God thank you for speaking about Gate
Gate is amazingly bad holy shit
I know from the Mahouka thread that some people have a disturbingly high tolerance for ultranationalist far-right antics being shoved in our faces like a chloroform-soaked rag but holy shit Gate puts Mahouka to shame in how ultra right wing it is.
Like, literally, it's about how eeeeeeeeevil China is and why Japan should get a real army so they can defend Glorious Nippon from eeeeeeeeeeeevil China and it doesn't matter because Japan's shitty not really an army can beat USA, Russia and China.
Protip: If the JSDF got in a fight with the Chinese Army, Japan would be reduced to sucking their collective wang in a quarter of a picosecond. This ain't Imperial Japan, chaps.
If you think this is okay don't even bother defending it because I am silently judging you.
