{"product_id":"gate-limited-edition-blu-ray","title":"Gate: Thus the JSDF Fought There! - Limited Edition Blu-ray","description":"\u003cp\u003eA massive gate tears open in the middle of Tokyo's Ginza district, and through it pour soldiers in medieval armor, cavalry, dragons, and monsters that lay waste to the city before Japan's Self-Defense Force pushes them back. Yoji Itami is a 33-year-old JSDF officer who was nearby that day buying doujinshi for a convention — an otaku who is also, somewhat incidentally, a competent soldier. His performance during the incident earns him a promotion, and soon he is leading the JSDF's Third Recon Team through the Gate into a parallel world called the Special Region: a feudal empire of humans, elves, demihumans, and magic populated by forces that are militarily outmatched by modern firepower but politically complicated far beyond anything Itami anticipated. He picks up allies: Lelei, a young magic scholar; Tuka, a high elf survivor; and Rory Mercury, an immortal apostle of the death god who carries a massive halberd and is approximately 961 years old. On the other side of the Gate, Japan, China, the United States, and the Roman-inspired Empire are all maneuvering for control of the Special Region's resources, and Itami's Third Recon Team is caught at the center of every political crisis simultaneously. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGate: Thus the JSDF Fought There! is a 24-episode series produced by A-1 Pictures, directed by Takahiko Kyogoku, and based on Takumi Yanai's light novel series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe limited edition set's main box is an ammo case — a premium metal ammunition box housing the complete Blu-ray + DVD combo, a 168-page hardcover booklet, a Rory Mercury axe replica, 6 double-sided art cards, a patch, and a dragon logo banner. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNotable Staff \u0026amp; Voice Talent\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDirector:\u003c\/b\u003e Takahiko Kyogoku\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries Composition:\u003c\/b\u003e Takashi Ozaki\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOriginal Light Novel:\u003c\/b\u003e Takumi Yanai (AlphaPolis; manga adaptation serialized in Comic Flapper, Media Factory)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCharacter Design:\u003c\/b\u003e Kazuhiro Wakabayashi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStudio:\u003c\/b\u003e A-1 Pictures (Sword Art Online, Anohana, Fairy Tail)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMusic:\u003c\/b\u003e Yoshiaki Fujisawa (Chivalry of a Failed Knight)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOpening Theme 1:\u003c\/b\u003e \"Gate ~Sore wa Akatsuki no You ni~\" by Kishida Kyōdan \u0026amp; The Akeboshi Rockets\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOpening Theme 2:\u003c\/b\u003e \"Gate II ~Sekai wo Koete~\" by Kishida Kyōdan \u0026amp; The Akeboshi Rockets\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEnding Theme 1:\u003c\/b\u003e \"Prism Communicate\" by Hisako Kanemoto, Nao Tōyama \u0026amp; Risa Taneda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEnding Theme 2:\u003c\/b\u003e \"Itsudatte Communication\" by Hisako Kanemoto, Nao Tōyama \u0026amp; Risa Taneda \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBlu-ray \/ DVD Features (Sentai Filmworks Premium Edition Ammo Box)\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- All 24 Episodes — Complete Series (Blu-ray + DVD)\u003cbr\u003e- Metal Ammunition Box Packaging\u003cbr\u003e- 168-Page Hardcover Art Booklet\u003cbr\u003e- Rory Mercury Axe Replica\u003cbr\u003e- 6 Double-Sided Art Cards\u003cbr\u003e- Embroidered Patch\u003cbr\u003e- Dragon Logo Banner\u003cbr\u003e- Animated Comic\u003cbr\u003e- Japanese Promos\u003cbr\u003e- Clean Opening Animations (x2)\u003cbr\u003e- Clean Closing Animations (x2)\u003cbr\u003e- Sentai Filmworks Previews \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpoken Languages:\u003c\/b\u003e English \u0026amp; Japanese Audio, English Subtitles \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdition Details\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJapanese Title:\u003c\/b\u003e ゲート 自衛隊 彼の地にて、斯く戦えり (Gēto: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri \/ Gate: Thus the JSDF Fought There!)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRuntime:\u003c\/b\u003e ~600 Minutes (Complete Series, 24 Episodes)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDirector:\u003c\/b\u003e Takahiko Kyogoku\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBlu-ray Release Year:\u003c\/b\u003e 2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOriginal Broadcast Date (Japan):\u003c\/b\u003e July 4, 2015 – March 26, 2016 (Tokyo MX)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sentai Filmworks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRating:\u003c\/b\u003e 17+\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRegion:\u003c\/b\u003e Region A \/ Region 1 (North America)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGenre:\u003c\/b\u003e Action, Fantasy, Military\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThemes:\u003c\/b\u003e JSDF in Fantasy World, Modern Military vs Medieval Empire, Political Intrigue Two Worlds, Isekai Military Fantasy, Pro-JSDF Narrative \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedia assumed VG+ unless otherwise noted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot included in our free shipping campaign.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sentai Filmworks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42657662992469,"sku":null,"price":279.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/7673\/7365\/files\/91LElGIWPdL._SL1500.jpg?v=1782891770","url":"https:\/\/hifilofi.shop\/products\/gate-limited-edition-blu-ray","provider":"HiFi LoFi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
