Chapter #37 of Gate - Thus the JSDF Fought There is up and translated. But what is
FULL METAL CHOCO? Is it chocolate bar? Real official brand or fictional?

Gate - Thus the JSDF Fought There
practically begs for adventure RPG. I consider GURPS for that. I don't have any experience with that game, though I have played RPG before and game mastered one. So what GURPS material do you recommend?
Do you have any other RPG recommendations? What about war games? Do you any that would be as fitting as GURPS for RPG?

And now for something completely different:
The Anime Network has started showing Hōzuki no Reitetsu (Hozuki's Coolheadedness), following the daily travails of a demon with possibly the worst job in Creation: chief trouble-shooter for Jigoku, the Japanese Hell. Pretty funny.

'Kantai Collection' aka 'Fleet Girls Collection' anyone?
Apparently the Japanese are still unhappy about getting most of the IJN sunk during WWII. Still, it's a pity they haven't released the game to we Westerners yet.

After couple of months
Gate - Thus the JSDF Fought There is advancing again. In addition this manga has got
three new spin-offs. Then are
news about anime adaptation. I'm waiting for anime with mix of dread and excitement...

'Kantai Collection' aka 'Fleet Girls Collection' anyone? after 'Girls und Panzer' i'm ready for some naval action!
The anime has now completed its broadcast run, and is available on Blue-Ray and DVD. Still, one has to think that the ships that all those cute girls are supposedly the avatars of were in the service of one of the more evil causes of human history. When laughing at
Akagi's appetite, should we ignore Pearl Harbor and Darwin?

To add to that, it'll be interesting how
the chosen director manages adaptation from novels & manga that have
slaughter, rape,
thrashing,
blood and guts.
To me it seems more likely anime adaptation doesn't even try to appeal to the fans of the novels and manga with blood & gore, but instead seeks to find new/wider ( = acceptable for the younger) audience for the franchise. If that is the case, then I have mixed feelings about it... How long till July... 3 months? [>:]

I imagine they will tone it down: you'll note that "Princess Resurrection" had almost no blood in the anime.

My thoughts exactly. That could get more audience for the anime, but many (most?) novel & anime fans will gather to
this camp myself included

Man, that was two years ago! I hardly remember yesterday. I probably put down anime, but thought who am I to judge.
If people like it, then more power too them.[;)]

Latest manga chapter of
Gate - Thus the JSDF Fought There seems to be wrap up of the second novel. Among many things in over 50-pages long chapter,
Hardy's apostle introduces herself,
JSDF comes to the rescue,
dark elves comically miss the point,
Itami is a big damn hero, and
Rory shows more of her dere-side. Excellent chapter all around!

Gate - Jietai Kare no Chi nite, Kaku Tatakeri
Gate - Thus the JSDF Fought There
My favourite of this bunch. In middle of the day, stargate of sorts appear in middle of Tokyo, and medieval army pours in to Tokyo's streets. JSDF comes on to the scene, overruns the invaders, and goes through the gate to do some recon-in-excessive-force. I've seen some discussion about what-ifs modern armies in Middle-Earth (some have RPGd it too), and this manga comes pretty damn close. It's not purpose made parody, but just try hold your laughter when JSDF helicopter force flies and fights while playing Ride of the Valkyries through battery of loudspeakers: DADADA DAH-DA! I bought & downloaded Die Walküre from iTunes so I could play it while reading that part again. No official translation in print yet. And yes, this manga is as awesome as it sounds.
Anime is here
Anticlimatic. First episode covers only half of the first chapter (some 17 pages, not counting cover and index). Feels like slaughter was replaced with pointless fillers. With this pace first season's 24 episodes cover only the first novel (24 manga adapted chapters on 3 tankobons). There's to hope disc releases will have more blood & guts.
