What happens when your protagonist and his men are caught in a siege of a medieval city somewhere in fantasy land and need help fast? You sent in the Japanese Self Defence Force’s airmobile brigage of course, complete with frame by frame remake of a certain scene from Apocalypse Now. From Gate, in which a dimensional portal opens up in the middle of Tokyo and a fantasy army straight out of Tolkien attacks through it and learns what it means to take on a modern military when the JDSF crossed the portal in the opposite way. Not as militaristic or rightwing as it could’ve been.

You could always read the manga series instead, which has continued on.
