The New Gate series is getting an anime adaptation

Plot

Quote:

"The New Gate," an online game that had turned into a death game, was now releasing the tens of thousands of players that had been dragged into it, thanks to the efforts of Shin, one of the oldest players. But after he had defeated the last boss and freed everyone, he was swallowed up by a strange light and found himself inside the game world 500 years in the future.

I didn't think much of this at first but apparently this is really good :).

I think I read this so long ago that I didn't even put a date in my link. Is this the story that started with his follower that was dressed as a maid?

I have no idea why I stopped reading it. I liked how it started but I have no clue how it went later.

I'm not surprised this got an anime but...

I liked the beginning story but it got lost later, throwing in one Big Bad after another as light novels often do since the creator didn't really have the plot properly thought out when they started writing (see also Shield Hero...). The first season will probably be worth watching.

I am looking forward to seeing Wilhelm animated, I enjoy grumpy-but-good characters more than the nicey-nicey types.

Ah, the old "stuck in a VR game" chestnut ;).

The New Gate was one of the first "stuck in a VR game" chestnuts outs there so it is in fact old but back in 2014 it was a surprisingly fresh idea. It's more like Overlord than SAO though, the protagonist appears in a world similar to the game after it is shut down when he defeats the death-game final boss.

Spoiler:

It's... actually kind of interesting even if the MC is a dollar store Kirito, and the premise feels 5 years out of date. I'll give it another episode anyway.

New Gate was never masterpiece and it obviously took lot of cues from SAO and Overlord, but anime transforming 20+ adult man with plenty of life experience into awkward teenager, who is no longer just inspired, but straight up plagiarize Kirito, certainly doesn't do it any favor. Considering SAO is no longer even relevant (I think), it's at bare minimum very baffling decision on anime team part.

It doesn't help that Schnee also seemed to get few hundreds years agelift...

I wouldn't mind if there was an Asuna-type character...

Anything but that! Even having incestuous sister/cousin would be better option. Well, irc there is neither in NG. It has actually quite likeable heroines.

Aw...have to wait until next episode to see Schnee.

I was looking forward to seeing her reaction.

they skipped what made sword art online good and transported kirito to the sequel of the game but this time it's real.

nothing special but there is something, I don't know what it is but is something that let me finish the chapter. Let's see the next one.

That's all I need to hear :).

(Also I like all the SAO Girls :heh:).

Now I am not confident in anime execution, so don't blame me for false advertisment if they will suck here.

As for SAO, I think only Shinon stood up among crowd and she is one of my favorite heroines even now. Well Sugu too, but it's questionable if that was good thing. (Well I heard that arc with blond knight girl was good, but I by that time I no longer read novel so I can't speak for her)

Eh, the quality of the animation is lacking, but the story so far is charming enough to give it another episode or two. More of an aftersnack anime, though, i.e. somewhat enjoyable but soon forgotten.
