i just hope someone translates the light novels at least. it would be closer to the original work and at the same time be shorter. but i like the novel cover art more. they look so elegant. light novel cover art is what they would look like in anime i guess. |

Just ran across this the other day and liked what I read. I read all the currently available chapters in one go.
It will be interesting to see how this goes as far as the politics surrounding the gate. If another gate opens in China, or if they somehow managed to open one themselves, things could get very interesting really quick. If multiple countries were to get gates of their own, it would no doubt result in the partitioning of the world in various spheres of influence, possibly resulting in rival Russian/Chinese and US/NATO/Japan alliance, or multiple, smaller empires. Also, considering that within fifty years of European conquest, Native Americans were using firearms, it is also possible that you might end up with inhabitants of the Special Region getting a hold of firearms and fighting a guerrilla war against the invaders, possibly launching surprise attacks on oil wells or mining operations set up after nations and corporations start investing in the resources in the Special Region. |

As long as there is only one gate and Japan controls it, they'd have a relatively easy time maintaining an arms embargo. It's not like an arms dealer or foreign military power is gonna be able to just drive through the gate, and the JSDF military complex on the other side, then start selling/handing over weapons to the local yokels. Barring the locals access to modern weaponry would actually be pretty easy.

Which honestly makes the US completely passing up the opportunity to send troops through the gate along with the Japanese pretty damn crazy.

More like the public would be against it. How would the public think if the military is fighting three separate wars at once? Besides that, wars are costly. Ammunition and fuel costs money. Not to mention transportation fees, soldiers are paid much more if they are deployed to fight overseas.They are already blowing the budget with two wars. A third war would put the U.S in greater debt.

They won't have political backing either. It's difficult to find political support for a third war with the first two already under public condemnation. Besides that, the one thousand troops would most probably have to operate under Japanese command. I doubt the U.S is willing to act under the command of a nation they have long considered a lacky...cough cough... I mean 'ally'. Besides that, one thousand guys, even with modern weaponry, would be too difficult to conduct a full scale invasion. There's no doubt they can defeat any imperial field army, but wouldn't be able to occupy any area. And guerilla warfare can most certainly take out such a force if they really did decide to spread 1k men all over the empire. The U.S and it's allies isn't able to curb the insurgency in Afghanistan with nearly half a million men, what makes you think that one thousand men could do any better?
