| Finally... it's here |

| Yoshino! :D Got to see Kurumi in there. Tohka letting her imagination run wild and anxiety levels run high - not once but twice. >_> Can't wait to see the twins next episode :D |
 |
| How long does one episode of that soap opera they're watching last ? It seems terribly long and terribly relevant to their situation XD |
| The art and animation are kinda weird. Feels like the budget has gone down..... |
| Yay season 2, but the first episode is mediocre, nothing really interesting happened. |
| Tohkaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa <3333 |
| Original episode... Original episode........ ;_; Rush like crazy ;_; Well, hope that Anime-koi picks this up and uses the AT-X raws maybe? |
| Such a weak start not only that the quality looked worse than S1 at least a few seconds with Kurumi made this better quite a few characters showed up in ED wonder how there gonna do this in 10episodes |
 |
| For a filler episode of date A Live, this episode has too much drama and not enough comedy. I feel the studio could have done something else here, whether it was adapting a different part of the novels or writing a script that reduced some of the forced drama. I was expecting Shido to have a fun day with Tohka, Yoshino, and maybe Kotori as well, in the vain of a slice of life comedy, kind of like episode 6 of season 1. Hopefully things turn around during episode 2 and Date and Live gets back to being a light hearted comedy. |

| I'm worried about this being only 10 episodes. They're gonna cute a lot of scenes from the original. And this...filler ain't gonna help it. And seriously, make Tohka stop watching soap operas! |

| Ohohoho one of my favorite harems is bac- 10 episodes only!? *sob* Well... it was a great first episode. Here's to a promising season. |
 |
| Bad omen right from the start with this filler. |

Don't judge her on filler man... She isn't like that at all. It's not really fair to gauge a character on that. There were so many inconsistencies in there |
| What's up with this art? Is it because of Production IMS? Seriously, what happened to Shido's face? https://scontent-b-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/t1.0-9/10150524_626871550722267_4645131313893224933_n.jpg And these character designs... https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/t1.0-9/1017413_626785054064250_3122968898274942193_n.jpg Origami's isn't quite a distinguishable change, but it's the case for the rest of the girls... And ffs, as if Kurumi didn't look *flame shield on* bad enough, she looks like a plastic mannequin with no rounded edges. Someone tell me if this is Production IMS's fault since they jumped on the ship of producers, ne? NEEEE!? |
| Ugh... what have you done AIC? Tohka is even dumber and more emotionally unstable than the first season. She was seriously not like that before.. are they trying to make people hate Tohka? as if Origami isn't bitchy enough. So disappointed they decided to take the stupid direction when there are only 10 episodes. Why couldn't they keep the momentum from last season? seeesh.. this might end up worse than the 1st season. Thank God Sawa-chan sensei is there to save this show. |

There were so many inconsistencies in there oh god tohka fanboy to be honest, shes a lot like that in the first season, just not so dramatic. shes always over shido, "oh no, he hates me" ya that's getting a little annoying and old, don't you think? shes a little too cute for me, that's probably the reason why. but i'm sorry if i offended you in any way. |

None taken. I agree it's getting old. Especially because she is supposed to be over that already technically considering where season 2 takes place. I'm surprised they went with that type of episode since it's almost like a regression. That said, I'm pretty bias to her and I absolutely adore her so it won't really bug me.. what does bug me is that this could have been a better episode. Starting the season with filler is never a good idea. |
| Dumbfuck Tohka makes me cringe. Kurumi on the other hand..... huehuehue <3 |
 |
| Glad Date A Live is back now! I'm not sure why, but I like Yoshino even more now than in the first season, she seems to talk a bit more, but I may be wrong, its been a while. Her new look is cute too. However Tohka... I like her, but she was getting a bit on my nerves after a while. Anyway, good start I feel. Just glad to see the cast again. |
| That was fucking horrible. |
| This whole episode just felt like it should of been part of a OVA instead of a beginning of the season. When I saw this was only 10 episodes and that it came so quickly I had a huge fear that this whole season is just going to be filled with a bunch of non-sense that means nothing but banking on a season 3 like I.S. did. This episode does not help my theory. I really hope I'm wrong and this isn't a colossal failure. |
  |
| Wow I amaze myself , how did I even manage going through the first season? It's filled with cliches and the Tohka is annoying as hell . I would let her bitch ass cry idc she can take the whole world with her. Annoying asf ! I was probably bored when I watched the entire last season ...wow damn this is dropped |
| I was expecting to laugh at the 'make a choice' stupidity from the first season. I remain disappointed. |
 |
| Very much enjoyed the first episode! Seems like a lot of people hate Tohka here, but she's alright in my opinion. I mean, if you're a spirit (or anyone new to love) and love is a new experience for you, I'm sure some people would act the way she does. As of now, she's the best girl I'm rooting for coz her naivety is cute and she's true to her feelings unlike tsundere characters. |

Veronin said: I was expecting to laugh at the 'make a choice' stupidity from the first season. I remain disappointed. I knew this episode was missing something else. There should always be "make a choice" in any filler episode of Date A Live and there should have been more commander as well. That guy is always good for a laugh or two. Date A Live always had fun comedy and a fun atmosphere and that was missing for a large part of this episode. Production IMS dropped the ball this episode, with the art, the animation, and the directing. I hope they can turn it around. The 5th volume of the light novel is really funny and entertaining, so hopefully IMS can adapt it well. |

| lol the situation in the tv show some how fits her misunderstanding. . . next episode double the trouble. . .let's see where this goes this time now that the ladies are adding up |
Got something to live for, I know that I won't surrender, A warrior of youth, I'm taking over, a shot to the new world order I Am Bulletproof. . .  |
| What an unsatisfying episode. The quality seemed inconsistent and Tohka pretty much ruined the atmosphere for the whole entire ep -_- I was more rather interested in the interaction between Shidou and Origami rather than watching Tohka running around town trying to find Shidou while simultaneously causing mischief all due to a misinterpretation. She can be cute sometimes, but she was hell of an annoyance this ep... |
 |
| Getting tired of your shit, Tohka -_- Heck even Origami (a.k.a the most bland character in DAL) is much more likable than her this time. Is it just me or the artwork & animation are utter shit compared to the first season ? So next week is the school trip arc already ? can't wait for the twins :3 |
 |
| Very good the first episode The series has already started with all I hope that new spirits soon appear this season is promising ________ Muito bom o primeiro episodio a serie ja começou com tudo espero que novos espiritos logo aparecem a temporada promete |
  |
| Ooh anime original first half, Tohka's mood swings are so lol. XD They skipped some good parts of the Light Novel. But seriously..with the 10 episode limit, I don't like this filler stuff. Looks like the Tohka/Origami hate still continues, volume 7 and volume 10 could change few opinions on them I guess. ^^; Glad they included the bathroom scene lol. Yoshino and Tohka should just stop watching those terribly long Soap Opera. O_o Westcott and Ellen debuted in this episode. Nice. The ED song was okay, Kurumi and Dark Tohka in it. Nice last scene Tohka holding hands with Shidou. This episode felt like volume 1 in a nutshell. Hopefully the animation improves because for some reason I find it dull, such a disappointment. :/ Can't wait for those hilarious Yamai siblings. XD |

| Good start |
| Attention whore Tohka Returns to destroy this anime yet again. |

| Dam it Tohka take it easy. Good 1st episode. Can't for the twins next week. Only downside it's only 10 episodes :/ |
 |
| Good seeing all the girls again. I really hope we get a decent amount of Kurumi and Yoshino this season and hopefully these new girls coming aren't a buzzkill like Tohka. That Origami bathroom scene tho. |
| Tohka annoyed me a lot in this episode but who cares, welcome to my life again Kurumi <3 |
 |
| Tohka should not be allow to watch soap operas on tv. Great episode!!! |
 |
| People have to be special kind of stupid to enjoy this wannabe farce. At least it concluded okay.... also. Exposition, exposition and more underived exposition. Fucken great. |
