The Japanese Defense Force take action against these monsters and push them back into the "Gate". Third Reconnaissance Team is dispatched to the "Special Region" lead by officer (and otaku) Youji Itami. On their travels, they are joined by a beautiful elf girl who is a survivor from the dragon's rampage and guide the group across the dangerous new world.

From time to time it becomes kind of an advertisement for the japanese military service, some situations a bit too tense & pushed for my taste, some episodes and overall story a bit too sad for me, too many people dying. I didn't like it.
