The New Gate
The New Gate is a series of light novels, which are about an online game called “The New Gate.” The game seems to suck the players in, making them fight for their lives. The main character, Shinya Kiritani, is the best, most legendary player, who manages to kill the last boss, hoping that it would save everyone. However, it doesn’t release him from the game; rather, he wakes up in the same game world but 500 years later. He still retains his skills, though, so his new adventures are bound to be unforgettable.
Studio and Cast Information
The studios working on the anime are Yokohama Animation Laboratory and Cloud Hearts. The former has been in business for 8 years and is responsible for titles such as Legend of Mana -The Teardrop Crystal- (Seiken Densetsu: Legend of Mana - The Teardrop Crystal) and The Kingdoms of Ruin (Hametsu no Oukoku). Cloud Hearts are only two years old; their titles include The Great Cleric (Seija Musou: Salaryman, Isekai de Ikinokoru Tame ni Ayumu Michi) and Whisper Me a Love Song (Sasayaku You ni Koi wo Utau).
As for the cast, Shinya Kiritani is voiced by Kensho Ono, who played Yuri Briar in Spy x Family and Kuroko in Kuroko no Basket. Other important characters are Schnee Raizar, voiced by Asami Seto, and Tiera Lucent, voiced by Kaede Hondo. The former voice actor is best known for voicing Shino Madarame in Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War (Bleach: Sennen Kessen-hen), and the latter is the voice of Hana Yurikawa in Mieruko-chan.
The Visual and Fan Reactions
Fans are not exactly in favor of the way the main character is portrayed in the visual that was released together with the anime’s announcement. He seems too young and too generic to many of the viewers, and those who are familiar with source material are happy to remind us that Shinya Kiritani is 21 and not 16. Despite that, fans of the title are sure that the light novel is worth adapting, and they hope that future promotional materials are going to be better and more true to the source.
