This anime is certainly one of the best anime's out there. It's really worth your time. You could say It's isekai. I really enjoyed it. I highly recommend this. One of the best isekai I've ever seen. After watching you will want to watch season 3.
This series fluctuates between a care free attitude and brutality quickly, this can be a bit jarring for some (as can be seen in the reviews) but I suggest an open mind and looking at it from the view of a "survivor" using copping mechanisms to keep sane, and keeping real world history in mind.
Conquering nations were rarely kind and slavery and the abuse of the captured was very common, if anything "Gate" downplays how bad it really would be.
Here's to hoping there will be a 3rd season.

This series really would have been a great one if there was some power system like magic and other things.still this series is enjoyable.this is kind of some unique isekai.well i will not spoil for you.find out for yourselves. Yeah the storyline is unique and interesting,character art style is average.(not good not bad either)love the protagonist for his helping nature towards other with a realistic way.it is the kind of isekai where they can travel between the two world.i would have love to if the fighting scenes were more intese.only one thing i found disappointment that the fight scenes are predictable.i mean well if you fight an ancient world with modernization weapons you know the outcome.well all things aside this series is interesting and you will definitely hooked and waiting for season 3. Definitely worth watching 👍
"A gate to another world opens, and..."
Anime that start out like this are a dime a dozen these days, and this one starts out exactly the same. However, it soon takes that familiar start and does its own thing with it. What would *really* happen when the world discovers a gate to another world? Would politicians want to make peace with these new people, or would they want to scavenge this new world's resources? Would everyone welcome the newcomers to their respective worlds with open arms, or would there be fear and distrust?
If you were to just judge Gate by some random screencaps, you would be hard-pressed to tell it apart from any other anime like it. A lot of the tropes it uses have been done a million times before. Cute, big-breasted girls fawning over well-intentioned, cool-looking guys. Fantasy creatures galore. Wonder at the differences in their respective worlds.
But Gate takes a much more realistic approach to what would happen if something like this were to occur for real, and that's why I'm okay giving it a 7. It's still tropey as hell, but it manages to stand out from the rest because of its realism.
Do I recommend you watch it? It's only 2 seasons for now, and there's a lot of stuff out there that is better, but if you're wanting to watch something isekai-ish that is not just the same thing repeated for the 1000th time, Gate is for you.

The theme of Gate is what would happen if a modern country somehow connects to a Medieval Fantasy World, a clash of automatic guns against swords, a Humvee vs Cavalry, a modern fighter jet vs dragon. It is a fun world making for the fans of genre with the modern world having realistic take on politician, press and otaku's, all having their own agendas. Lots of interesting and fun characters, this anime really surprised me with its storytelling. At times kiddish other times too mature for kids, so I am not sure who the target audience it, still a fun watch. Ended up binge watching both the Two Seasons.
