Gate: Thus the JSDF Fought There (ゲート 自衛隊 彼の地にて、斯く戦えり Gate: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri) is an ongoing anime series airing since July 3, 2015. Currently on a hiatus after September 19, 2015 and will restart in January 9, 2016.
In the summer of 20XX A.D., a mysterious portal opened in the Ginza district of Toyko, Japan, bringing forth the military of the Empire across it. However, the army is medieval-aged equipped and despite the dragons and monsters brought along, the Japanese Self-Defense Force quickly put them down after their small carnage. Establishing order, the Japanese Government declared the portal to be part of Japanese soil and sends the JSDF to investigate the mysterious land behind the portal. Second Lt. Youji Itami of the JGSDF (Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force) is appointed the commander of Third Recon Team to scout out the mysterious land.
