    Gate was the most over the top cringey fascist boot fantasy I could possibly imagine, with Happy Tree Friends levels of slaughter and brutality to show just how tacticool the Japanese military was and then showing them somehow soloing every other military in the world.

    Unprecedented levels of Japanese nationalist jacking off. jagoff jagoff jagoff jagoff jagoff

        Yeah, there's a part in Gate where foreign military forces move in on Japan to try to secure the gate and they all get destroyed even while the JDF is also busy doing war crimes in magic fantasy land, because the JDF is just that amazing.

            Unfortunately, yeah. The overlap between tacticool JDF stans (too many in Japan already) and "what if fantasy world but brutally torn to pieces with tacticool modern firepower" edgelords (the kind that were also into grimdark MLP fanfics and the like) was pretty significant.
