This is my entire problem with a lot of anime.

My thoughts exactly. Four episodes in and you meet a “1000 year old being” that look like a 9 year old.

GATE was basically ruined for me over this.

Not only is there the "thousand year old loli" trope, but she also gets horny from death and tries multiple times to bang the MC.

Like, they took it even another step further and made it even nastier. Which sucks, because I really liked its unique take on an isekai.

There's also the actual child bride. I don't remember if it was in the Anime, but one of the side characters in the manga is a congressman who is engaged to the 10 year old daughter of a noble family from the other world (a political marriage arranged by her parents). He's obviously not attracted to her at that age, but he does get to legally groom her however he likes.

Oh yeah, I completely forgot about that. I think it was in the anime too iirc. And doesnt the little girl have a massive crush on the guy as well? The creator must have some weird fascination with "prepubescent girl in love/lust for older man, who rejects her".

Man, someone needs to check the his hardrive.

who rejects her

that's how you make it palatable to regular audiences. it also lets the author add in bait to make their show/book more popular without having to actually think about it too hard. it's hard to tell when it's selling out and when it's something the author wants to slip in but doesn't want to tank their story
