Gate Keepers (ゲートキーパーズ, Gēto Kīpāzu?) is primarily a role-playing video game for the PlayStation. The game was then adapted into a manga series written by Hiroshi Yamaguchi (山口 宏, Yamaguchi Hiroshi?) and drawn by Keiji Gotoh and an anime series produced by Gonzo, and first aired on April 3, 2000.
A six episode original video animation (OVA) sequel, Gate Keepers 21, was released in 2002. The main characters in the OVA sequel were the next generation of Gate Keepers.
All incarnations of the titled Gate Keepers series, follow the same basic premise and share most of their characters, with some major discrepancies (mainly involving the character Reiji Kageyama). A character from the game, Francine Allumage is completely absent from the anime. Another character from the game Misao Sakamori, was replaced in the anime with the new original character Megumi Kurogane (though Misao does make a guest appearance towards the end of the anime).

Famous quotes containing the words gate and/or keepers:
“The approval of the public is to be avoided like the plague. It is absolutely essential to keep the public from entering if one wishes to avoid confusion. I must add that the public must be kept panting in expectation at the gate by a system of challenges and provocations.”
—André Breton (1896–1966)
“I am wont to think that men are not so much the keepers of herds as herds are the keepers of men, the former are so much the freer.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
