What to Expect From The Gate Source Material Compared to The Anime?

While the anime adapts the story of the light novel quite well, many will find a different experience going to the manga. The Gate manga is a lot more dedicated to showing the horrors of war are well as the pleasures of fan service. This can be jarring to people coming from the more tame anime version of things, but not necessarily in a bad way if you don’t mind tits and gore.

Will There Be A Gate Season 3?

There has been no official announcement of a Gate Season 3 anime.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem likely that the rest of the Gate story will be adapted given that the original story is long over. There might be an anime following the Part 2 of the light novel, but at this point, I think the ship for Gate anime has failed.
