Someone just watched Gate.
Best anime. I like the part where dragons get obliterated by missiles and tank shells.
Well, that was an intriguing sentence. I’ll have to check this out.
That sentence only applies to the first episode. The rest of the series is an overly jingoistic power fantasy where the MC goes around collecting waifus for his harem and the japanese army exports
democracyjapanese culture.Yeah the anime is pretty garbage outside of the pilot. You’d think you’d get interesting conflicts of fantasy powers vs modern military but nah

How do we know elves won’t refine gunpowder weaponry first in their quest for ever greater ranges and precision? Maybe precisely engineered gyro stabilized rocket propelled ‘arrows’ is the path elves take, vs the humans big boom slow heavy artillery?

Reminds me of a short story I once read in a Polish sci-fi and fantasy magazine, where a portal to fantasy world opened and Elves conquered Eastern Europe and I think Russia. At one point narrator tells us once Elves discovered humans made satelites, they made their own. Our of wood covered in magic runes, then coated with mithral. I don’t recall how they got it in space but narrator tells us once it began orbiting the Earth and SENDING SIGNALS several members of NASA had to be instituionalized.

That sounds more like a gnome thing.
Kobolds would invent the Hwatcha to counter this

Don’t complain if your whole platoon gets perfectly sniped with arrows before you can load your artillery.
Humans breed like mad. We got other platoons.
Fair.
This is how Frieren feels
