It's been an interesting change of pace and tone to have a spirit that's actually content with killing people. Enjoys it even. Though it seems that deep down she wants Shidou to hate her cause she thinks she can't be saved.

Also WHOAAAAAAAAAAAA at Kotori being a spirit, that came outta nowhere. I was also shocked at how many people were expecting it, but I guess they read the novels so fair enough. Kurumi's on some Caius Ballad status right now, using time and space to be unbeatable. It's really gotten exciting, can't wait for next episode

Is it just me who thinks that Kurumi might not be that bad after all? Perhaps she wants to "be with one with Shidou" for some higher purpose? And she just lets the end take precedence over the means. And all her killings to buy time only gets her more and more lost as to what should or should not be done. Yeah, perhaps my sympathy for this character just got the better of me...

And the glare of Origami at Kotori the Spirit. Give you a kind of feeling that Origami has seen Kotori's spirit form before (and did not like it).
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Yeah I totally agree with you. I think she's a good character at heart.

And I refuse to believe otherwise : )

Kotori in that clothing at the end had my jaw at the bottom of my floor. Can she save this series for me? I hope so. Kurumi already doing her part. Time rethink my scoring a bit :3.

The last episode of Kurumi's arc was adapted well (compared to the others *cough* Yoshino). The only flaw was that the fight scenes were a bit too short. I hope that they do justice for Kotori's arc.

Ahh, just as I was beginning to become obsessed with Kurumi, precious tenshin imouto Kotori comes to save the day. Why can't she get more screen time!? Make her arc happen already.

Also, Kotori > Mana. Even if it's blood related (and I LOVE blood related), you can't beat twintail with blue striped pantsu voiced by Ayachi. Simply impossible.

Kurumi's arc is so dark compared to Tohka and Yoshino's. It's so entertaining especially since she has such a twisted personality and creepy way of thinking.

KOTORI AT THE END! HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE! SHE'S S A SPIRIT? WHAT?! Holy shit, she's looks insanely awesome! That axe! I'm so pumped for Kotori's arc. Omg, Date A Live's 2nd half is really good.

This arc was by far better than the other 2. I guess it's because Kurumi is so insane. I loved the part where she went crazy and owned the shit out of Mana. And they finally played the song from Kurumi's PV. Best ost in the show hands down. So is Kotori even stronger than Kurumi? I'm hoping Kurumi isn't just a one arc character because I can't imagine this series without her.

5/5 for this episode and 9/10 for this arc.

Cool episode!!!

I guess Kurumi has a really troublesome power as time traveling can be a pain to deal with especially when she has so much power. I guess Mana has lost memories and is not even aware of the risks that she is going through with the excess amount of magical energy. Seems like Tohka and Tobiichi are finding it difficult to cope with the tough situation but Kotori (who is also a spirit) saves them in the nick of time when the spacequake was about to occur and she has an excellent design and looks very powerful.

Looking forward to the battle in the next episode!!

5/5

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Same here. The whole series started of kinda slow, it got better though. That was a great episode.

I always found it strange that Kotori is involved with the whole spirit stuff. It makes kinda sense now though with her being a spirit as well. Didn't see it coming though.

What a TWIST!!
My little sister can't be this powerful of a spirit.

Personally i prefer Kurumi in her school uniform that the goth loli outfit. She looks more mature and sexual in that. Those damn dark pantyhose are awesome on her.To others share this feeling?

I'm not really surprise if Kotori is a Spirit because I find it hard to believe that she is just an ordinary girl

Too bad Kurumi almost backing down but instead she got killed by her otherself so sad
