Date A Live: Date to Date

Beyond wholesome OVA, had me smiling the entire time watching. Tohka and Origami are the best girls in the show and this episode really demonstrated why in my opinion. In short, the OVA is split into half of an Origami date and half of a Tohka date, Origami's being more humor oriented and Tohka's more wholesome (while still containing some humor). The animation is similar to that of S1 and S2 (peak season and animation/art style of the date of live series) and the sound design is upbeat and nicely voice acted as always. Absolutely a must watch of any Date a Live fan or ... if you just are looking for a quick 23 minute smiling break.

--------------------------------------

It's an anime that tries to blend harem and sci-fi elements together, and for the most part, it succeeds, albeit not without its fair share of flaws.

The story revolves around a high school boy named Shido Itsuka, who must save the world by dating various "Spirits" - powerful beings that can cause destructive "spacequakes" when their emotions are unstable. It's a premise that's both ridiculous and intriguing at the same time.

The main character, Shido, is your typical harem protagonist - he's kind, dense, and always seems to find himself in compromising situations with the female characters. However, he does have ... a unique ability that sets him apart - he can seal the Spirits' powers by kissing them. It's a bit of a strange mechanic, but it adds to the overall charm of the show.

The music in Date A Live is decent, with a few catchy opening and ending themes. However, it's not particularly memorable and doesn't add much to the overall experience.

As for the enjoyment experience, can be a hit or miss for viewers. If you're a fan of harem anime and don't mind some ecchi moments, then you might enjoy it. However, if you're looking for a deeper sci-fi story or well-developed characters, then you might want to look elsewhere.

Overall, I'd give Date A Live a 7.5 out of 10. It's a fun, entertaining show that doesn't take itself too seriously, but it's not without its flaws. Whether or not to recommend it really depends on your personal taste

Ini adalah anime yang mencoba menggabungkan unsur harem dan fiksi ilmiah bersama-sama, dan sebagian besar berhasil, meskipun tidak tanpa kekurangan.

Kisah ini berputar di sekitar seorang anak SMA bernama Shido Itsuka, yang harus menyelamatkan dunia dengan berkencan dengan berbagai "Spirits" - makhluk kuat yang dapat menyebabkan "spacequake" yang merusak ketika emosi mereka tidak stabil. Ini adalah premis yang konyol dan menarik pada saat yang sama.

Karakter utama, Shido, adalah protagonis harem biasa - ia baik hati, tumpul, dan selalu tampaknya menemukan dirinya dalam situasi yang memalukan dengan karakter perempuan. Namun, dia memiliki kemampuan yang unik yang membedakannya - dia dapat menutup kekuatan Spirits dengan mencium mereka. Ini sedikit mekanik aneh, tetapi menambah pesona keseluruhan acara.

Musik di Date A Live cukup baik, dengan beberapa lagu pembuka dan penutup yang catchy. Namun, itu tidak terlalu mudah diingat dan tidak menambah banyak pengalaman secara keseluruhan.

Untuk pengalaman yang menyenangkan, ini dapat menjadi hit atau miss bagi penonton. Jika Anda penggemar anime harem dan tidak keberatan dengan beberapa momen ecchi, maka Anda mungkin menikmatinya. Namun, jika Anda mencari cerita fiksi ilmiah yang lebih dalam atau karakter yang terkenal, maka Anda mungkin ingin mencari di tempat lain.

Secara keseluruhan, saya memberikan Date A Live 7,5 dari 10. Ini adalah acara yang menyenangkan dan menghibur yang tidak terlalu serius, tetapi tidak tanpa kekurangan. Apakah akan merekomendasikannya atau tidak, tergantung pada selera pribadi Anda.

Ok so maybe its not just the OVA but the main series also but i do not remember being this annoyed when watching season 1.

so the white haired one, if you want to break up with her, tell her you like tohka. problem solved. in fact all the problems will solve. could have ended the episode after 1 min. i honestly hate the let's go to the beach or hot springs ovas. this is worst. i would have prefered one of those.

spoilers here not that it matters tbh because its an ova so there is no real plot. but the misunderstanding with tohka could ... have been so easily explained seeing as tohka knows about the existence of the (whatever the organisation kotori runs)

this mcs stupidity drives me mad. i guess he has to be stupid though or the show wouldn't work.
