Date A Live II: Kurumi Star Festival

On the day of the Tanabata festival, Shidou Itsuka happens to meet the eerie Kurumi Tokisaki, who proceeds to ask him out on a date. Although nervous, Shidou accepts the offer. The two spend their time visiting to a planetarium, buying food at the festival, and trying out a mock wedding ceremony. Meanwhile, Shirou's friends—Tooka Yatogami, Yoshino, and Kotori Itsuka—are looking for him, while also enjoying the festival themselves.

As Shidou spends the day with Kurumi, he begins to notice an unexpected softer side of her. He knows that Kurumi is infamously called the "Worst Spirit," but the girl standing before him is a gentle soul. However, as the day draws to a close, Shirou finally begins to understand the truth behind it all.

I’m compelled to write this review because this OVA made me feel something no other OVA has done before and that is a different kind of “fan service”.

When talking about fan service I think we all understand it as just that fan+service something the fans want to see. Usually this involves the characters looking more provocative but sometimes what the fans want to see is a What If narrative that lets fans enjoy for example their favorite characters ending up together. I feel like this kind of fan service is different and personally I had never looked for it or thought I wanted it until ...

this OVA focused on kurumi who she spent time with shido in during festival first of all there some foreshadowing leading toward future and it final scene where shido will see kururmi in future which is mean that many spirit dislike her but shido want her to see again and tell backstory and how spirit never cares about you but my perspective toward shido and kurumi between they could hiding their truth which is meant by making her to join spirit but could bes somewhere in season 4 one of most disgusting scene I saw kururmi pulling her skirt front of yoshino she is 13-14 ...

Well, where do I begin with this anime? Date A Live II: Kurumi Star Festival certainly has a story, but unfortunately, it's not the most engaging or original one out there.

As for the main characters, they're mostly forgettable. The protagonist is your typical bland harem lead, and the female spirits don't have much depth or personality beyond their archetypes. The music is serviceable but doesn't stand out as anything remarkable.

Overall, I suppose if ...
