This weekend, the official "Gate" season two release date was confirmed for Jan. 9 on the anime's official website.

So far, fans on Crunchyroll are expressing much excitement for the new "Gate" season two key visual that was released alongside the premiere date.
"I love the artwork for it. I can't wait for season two to start," said VizardDragon0.
For those who are not familiar with the "Gate" anime series, it is based off of a light novel series by Takumi Yanai. The anime adaptation is being handled by A-1 Pictures. The main staff and Japanese voice cast from the first season will return to work on the second season. Sentai Filmworks has licensed the series for home video release in North America.
ANN describes the story of the "Gate" anime series as follows:
"A gate appears in Tokyo's Ginza district sometime in the 21st century. From the gate pours out monsters, knights from middle-age Europe, and other fantasy-like beings, and they kill many of the citizens of Tokyo. This event is known as the Ginza Incident."
It goes on:
"The government sends a small group of soldiers from the Japanese Self-Defense Forces to the alternate world beyond the gate. Led by otaku soldier Yōji, they find that the villages in the world are being attacked by a dragon. An elf girl who is a survivor from the dragon's rampage joins the group in their travels across the dangerous new world."
