Reading Gate: Jietai after watching the anime

Hey, so I loved Gate: And so the Self-Defense Force Fought. It was funny and gruesome, and there was something oddly fulfilling about seeing an arrogant self-absorbed culture crushed by an enemy that they couldn't understand. Anyway, I heard that the manga was even more gruesome and titillating then the anime so I had to see for myself. Boy is it ever! Not only is it more extreme then the anime, the art style is actually better too. I really like the way they drew Pina in the manga, it makes the anime Pina look bland by comparison.
