Repeat it a few times and you have comedy gold. There is also a cultural clash going on, which is used for dialogue like: What is a hot bath scene without people's arms flying off afterwards? The tone of the show is what you might expect, with slaughter and fanservice taking turns. The writers thought the SDF wasn't overpowered enough, so the goth loli happens to be an invincible demigod priestess who effortlessly crushes everything in her path. In the process they recruit mages, elves and goth lolis. Soon enough our merry band can venture further into this land while talking about their waifus and singing magical girl theme songs, eager to meet the local catgirls. Suicidal charge under the cover of night (worth a shot, I guess?)ДЄctually, that was kind of the idea behind the original invasion into Japan: go to an unknown land without any intel or recon and slaughter everything for fun and profit.Yeah. Aside from the technology gap, these feudal lords also come from the Zapp Brannigan school of tactics with plans like:ДЈ.

Some fighting ensues, but no worries: their enemies are so outgunned they might as well be throwing rocks at them. This fantasy land is declared a part of Japan, named the Special Region, because why not? (Nice name, by the way that's what I'd call a fantasy land too if I ever occupied one.) The Japanese constitution forbids (at the moment, anyway) deploying the SDF abroad, but I guess that's one way around it: just annex territory arbitrarily and suddenly it's all Japanese soil. As so it happens, the protagonist is not only an otaku but also a member of the SDF (Japanese military), and once the initial attack has been dealt with, he joins the force sent through the gate. Place and interrupt the otaku event the protagonist was planning to visit. The plot kicks off when out of nowhere a gate appears and from it come a bunch of orcs and medieval troops that indiscriminately kill civilians, wreck the Oh, and some humanitarian reasons, but those aren't as important. Why, you ask? Because Japan needs more technology and minerals and such because nationalism says so. And I mean that in-universe the soldiers are literally playing a CD of Wagner in their copters. But if they fail, they face the consequence of participating in a devastating war that will engulf both sides of the gate.ДЄ gate to a medieval fantasy land opens up in Japan, and this can only mean one thing: sword-wielding troops get mowed down by the glorious Japanese military in their attack copters with Wagner playing. Three months after the attack, Youji has been tasked with leading a special recon team, as part of a JSDF task force, that will be sent to the world beyond the gate-now being referred to as the 'Special Region.' They must travel into this unknown world in order to learn more about what they are dealing with and attempt to befriend the locals in hopes of creating peaceful ties with the ruling empire.

With swift actions, Youji saves as many lives as he can while the rest of the JSDF direct their efforts toward stopping the invasion.

From this gate, supernatural creatures and warriors clad in medieval armor emerge, charging through the city, killing and destroying everything in their path. Off-duty Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF) officer and otaku Youji Itami is on his way to attend a doujin convention in Ginza, Tokyo when a mysterious portal in the shape of a large gate suddenly appears.
