#DateALive2 i still haven't know the whole story yet but i sense that shido will turn into Spirit of Calamity since he can convey the Spirit powers, and also since he can carry such a thing it might be turned out he couldn't control it anymore.

Not bad. Definitely felt rushed, but all things considered it wasn't too bad.
Still feeling the animation and art is different from the first season. I wonder why that is. AFAIK the same studios are doing DAL 2...

Ellen started getting on my nerves, mostly because they haven't revealed DEM's specific motives to us yet(and as I have not read the LNs, I have no clue why they want Spirits or why they want to kill them all). Mostly felt like she was just fighting Tohka and Shido with no reason at all other than to screw with them. It's pretty obvious later on that there is some sort of plan behind it, though.

Wonder why they might have to kill Shido because he's already started manifesting angels like Sandalphon. Future plot point alert.

Looking forward to the next arc, with Miku and Inverted Tohka. Do want.

Best episode yet! The fight scenes between the two ships was well animated along with Tohka and Shido vs. Ellen and her mechs. Shido was badass when he manifested Sandalphon. Poor Ellen having fallen for another one of the trio's traps. The reconciliation between the twins was heartwarming, and dat double kiss. Dat post-credits. Too bad Kotori is given such a difficult task. Can't wait for the next arc.

Overall ep gets 9/10.

Badass Kannazuki screentime is genius.

The playout of the twins' fight went somewhat as expected, but it was nice to see Shido step up and take charge, proving he does in fact have a pair.

Kannazuki, must be one brilliant tactician, but still just as entertaining. Some of the best lines/scenes this episode were him fighting off the enemy ship.

Finally seeing Shido step up and grow a pair...err sword, grow a sword. Well, it would have been awesome had we not all seen it coming from the end of last season.

Kaguya and Yuzuru were as great as usual, loved their combined attack. The double kiss was classic, and an easy solve to get them sealed quickly without having to make another episode for a "date".

Looked like Yoshino was in the glass containment thing from the end of last season, I hope I'm wrong about that.

So, Shido summoning Sandalphon scares the higher ups. Must suck to have such tiny little... ...that you have to be jealous of a kid. LOL

Tohka is still best girl, but not enough Origami screen time this episode.

All in all, this one gets 8/10

The scene between the twins is heartwarming in this episode.

Anyways, I didn't expect that Shido will be a baddass in this episode. Kannazuki is surprising in this episode too. But yeah, Tohka's voice seemed changed in this season.
The world shall know the truth soon.

Why did Tohka's outfit change when she changed to spirit form? I'm pretty sure it never looked like that.

Good conclusion o the twins arc, even of it was rushed. More harem <3

Her full power outfit stays the same, but when she is only manifesting partial power like when she was fighting Ellen, her clothes sort of merge....last time she did it, her dress was merged with her school uniform.

Well holy battleship. Shido got his own sword. That was unexpectedly badass, and I really enjoyed that part. And I have to say Shido did sound pretty cool when he said "I hate having two choices, I'm used to having three!"

So Kannazuki is actually a really good strategist and knows how to use the ship to its fullest... the world is a strange place lol.

Shido now can use Tohka's sword Sandalphon, now that's really great since he can stop being useless.

It's really great that Kaguya and Yuzuru stopped fighting and decided to continue living as two separate beings.

Poor but lucky Shido, he got kissed by two beautiful girls that ended up with their clothes going poof and Tohka appearing at the wrong time.

I am starting to pity the awesome maji hikuu wa girl, she says than ever in her sleep, poor girl...

Well, the episode itself was interesting but the same can't be said for the art...

I saw that cliche "Both of you..." coming long way but the way it was done, was nice.

Tbh even if Yuzuru is more of my type, I see Kaguya as the more interesting one. Yuzuru just agrees whatever he sister says, Kaguya has more depth imo.

That felt like a finale episode...on episode 4.
Honest the episode by itself wasn't bad, there just was no development at all. Not to mention Tohka just becomes a serious character over a sudden when she has been one of the worst duts I've ever seen.

Nice finale to the arc. It's always nice to see the stuff actually animated. I thought overall the volume 5 adaptation was pretty good. It's not one of my favorite volumes, but they did a good job. So props. Finally on to the next one


Nice to know, I really didn't like this arc but did think this episode redeemed it in full. That you are excited about the next arc is makes me want to see what is coming next.

And little sis is awesome as always.

Shido is getting stronger, this time he was able to help Tohka
the battle between the naves was also very good
two spirits were sealed once
but at the end of Shido's life may be in danger
Date A Live never fails to be good

Shido está ficando mais forte, dessa vez ele foi capaz de ajudar Tohka
a batalha entre as naves também foi muito boa
dois espiritos foram selados de uma vez

Damn, what is Shido in reality? He doesn't seem to have any family memory and he can use the angel power. But I don't think Kotori would kill him, she's not that heartless. Tsundere are always dishonest :P

So everything end in boobs and lewd situation xD
I didn't expected Yoshinon to be in the warship. I'm glad to see that Kannazuki have another utility other than being the masochist of the show. That other cpatain was a dumbass.

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

oshit plot twist: Shidou pulls a sword out of his ass.

I mean there probably won't be a significance to if he's just going to use it to get people's attention really so I'm gonna bet that we're going to see his sword once more throughout the series.

Very cliched lines from Shidou and cliched bit at the end where the Yamai twins are suddenly naked like wut. They WOULD add a fanservice bit at the end just to ruin the mood and Shidou gets his ass whooped.

I was hoping this "arc" would've lasted an episode more since I felt that they rushed this a lot and gave Shidou a sword just to progress it faster. BUT, it could just be that his apparent sister would have to assassinate his ass which won't happen because he regenerates or something (He got fuckin' sniped in season 1 and regenerated or something).

Overall, 7/10 seems like a fair score because DEM BEWBS DOE

I think you need to watch that episode again. It wasn't an ass pull. It had been established from the start that Shidou has some connection with spirits, so that he could use a spirit weapon would follow from, not be at conflict with, the story to date (that is what an ass pull is).

That this was "significant" was confirmed in the discussion between his sister and the head of the organization, they were expecting something like that to eventually happen, and it is a trigger for the next stage of the story.

well to be honest if Kotori wanted to kill Shido she could. just cause you can regenerate doesn't mean your invincible, all it would take is a fire blast big enough to destroy him in one hit so regeneration would be impossible.

this would be a last resort in case his powers went out of control.

What a cute episode
though... from the OP i always imagined the new spirits to be captured and turned evil by the bad people..
and I thought the twins were going to get captured when the big battleship showed up.

Can't wait to see the twins in school! I hope they are at each others throat at the same time as I hope they are buddy buddy!

Considering Ellen kicked Tohka's ass and made it look easy when Tohka can take on the other AST, including Origami, with very few problems, I'd say Ellen's pretty powerful. I'm not sure why she was relying on those Bandersnatch mechs, though, aside from numbers/intimidation, since frigging Shido cut a couple of them in half after summoning Sandalphon.

are you fucking kidding me?
do you really watched the anime?

tohka's spirit abilities are sealed by shido, so she can't fully released her combative abilities, kicked tohka's ass huh? i actually hate tohka but there is no doubt that she is the strongest spirit if Ellen and her group are that interested in her

i'd say tohka can beat ellen into a pulp, and she falls for such a childish trap what a moron

We don't know why they are interested in her as of now. Definitely doesn't make her the strongest spirit. Heck there is no such thing as strongest spirit.

But yeah you're right. Ellen wouldn't stand a chance against Tohka at full strength. Ellen wouldn't stand a chance against any of the spirits non sealed from what I can see. The sad thing is that Ellen is most likely the strongest character that isn't a spirit.
