Ah, the old "get stuck in the game" premise.

Hands up who upon seeing the title "The New Gate Isekai" wondered if Gate was getting another season.

*raises hand*

The preview seems to promise not much animation, where the most movement on offer was a static pose rapidly approaching the screen. Does not seem to distinguish itself in any way in the preview but I will give it some slack on a first preview video.

Yup. But then it turns out to be The New Adventures of Totally-Not-Kirito instead. Look, he's got red accents on his black coat. Totally different guy.

Wilhelm's outfit immediately made me think of Lancer from Fate. Tiera looks amazing. Need to see more of Schnee.

To be honest, I kinda started to like Kirito copycats over the years, but in most cases they really only work for me as supporting characters.

Speaking of Kirito, I feel like I should really give SAO series one more chance one day - years ago, I was only able to watch the first half of the original series.

Like it, or not, that show IS one of the most influential in the history of anime, and kinda rather iconic at this point.

This story has a decent start but it gets bogged down later as more and more characters are jammed into the plot.

I may be judging it through rose-coloured glasses a bit though, it appeared early on in the isekai explosion and I might just be remembering it fondly for that reason. The concept appears cookie-cutter but it was one of the first cookies to be cut, not the hundredth.

Yup! Count me as one. This looks good, but more Rory Mercury, please.

Haha, Rory in the inquest was basically the best thing about Gate. Pretty sure I'd watch a series that was Rory x Ally McBeal.

Yep. Sticking "new" or some other word like that onto a title isn't uncommon to designate a sequel season,

The title gave me hope but the synopsis took it all back.

Yep, absolutely. Which makes seeing just another utterly generic isekai all the the more frustrating Rolling Eyes
