Okay, as we all know, a movie will be coming out on Date a Live... but under the assumption that the movie does not continue with the story.... season 3?

DAL is mediocre, at least how I see it, but I was kinda surprised how it got a season 2, although I didn't mind it. I was surprised because I believe the story is average at best, and a lot of better series have only one season and no news on a second season. However, DAL seems to have a lot of hype backing it up, and with an OVA and movie on the way, I don't see why they would not keep rolling with another season as the story isn't done from the looks of it.

I personally wouldn't mind a season 3, or be devastated if there wasn't, but how is everyone else's take on DAL?

You shouldn't have been surprised unless you're new to anime.

I'm always for more ecchi harem bullshit.

^ This.

The story is mediocre at best, but the MC is tolerable and the rest of the characters are fun to watch so overall the show isn't that bad anyway.

No please, a third season would finally destroy what's left of "good" in this show.

I agree. There is no need to butcher this title any further.

Would need a bit more content, it's already fair to say the first season was actually a tad better than second simply because it had more content.

Would really be thrilled to see Origami's arc getting animated tho.

Not exactly true, second season has unaired scenes totaling 2 episodes long in the BD and first season only had about 5 min. So both seasons actually have about the same amount of contents in the BD, though second season covers each volume slightly more on average.

Hopefully they don't cut out a lot of things in 3rd season.

Somehow I want to see a season 3 just to see more Kotori.... and the other girls, even if the story is bad (except getting a focused romance ending like Oreimo) I'm okay with that.

Sure, I enjoyed the first two seasons. Nothing about the plot screams 'amazing' but I do like the characters and the tolerable MC. Definitely want more Kurumi and Berserker sisters.

There's a possibility. After all the LN sales for Vol. 12 is quite good. Also there's that movie coming on August 2015, if that's successful, they might announce season 3 faster than we think.

Not to mention the Director's Cut BD is coming out on the end of July along with the 3rd game, Date A Live: Rio Reincarnation. So with all these things, Date A Live 3 is not too far-fetched.

I really would not mind watching season three. As long as it keeps a steady pace, explains Shido's back story, and adds a blend of comedy and action, then I see no harm of season three in development. If the series started strong it should end on a strong note.

I really hope we will get a 3rd season and I think we will. The question is "when" though. And Season 1-2's plot has been Volume 1 - 7 of the light novel so I believe that the 3rd season will follow the main story line of the novels. I hope it will follow volume 8 - 11. I really wanna see Origami's arcs animated.

Well this is a pretty dead thread so there's not that much point in saying anything, however in case anyone ever does drop by here I'll just leave this here.

When it comes to the light novel series, I like it a lot. It's very funny, has a good story, good artwork. Overall, it's a very nice piece of work that I enjoy following.

However when it comes to the anime I have different opinions. The first season, was alright (actually what got me into the series). It had good art, some nice changes here and there: pretty much decent. Although they did rush through quite a lot of stuff, as well as miss some really good stuff, which made me dislike it slightly but not too much.

Season 2 on the other hand, I did not like at all. Bad art, rush's like a Russian in CSGO, cuts out really important stuff to the story. This was a bad adaption.

Now, with my thoughts of the past out of the way, do I want a S3?

Yes, however only on the condition that it drastically improves from S2. I want better art, less rushing, less cutting, etc.

Now, why would I want an S3 when I didn't like S2 you might ask, wouldn't I just let it drop. Usually I would however not with DAL. You see, if in theory a season 3 was made it would likely adapt volumes 10 and 11 of the novels. This arc, which I can't name since it would spoil it, is amazing. It's got everything you could want: suspense, drama, plot twists, fights, Kurumi :3.... It's something that I definitely want to see adapted one day onto TV, as long as it's decent quality that is.

An announcement is coming on October 22 on Date a Live website http://date-a-live.net/. Season 3 perhaps most likely adapt volumes 8-11 like first season since they can't adapt 8-10 (S2 only adapt 3 volumes) since volumes 10 and 11 are one arc.

Yo. You actually reminded me that I need to update my status, I've completed Vol 14.

On the subject of where to start; I highly recommend going all the way to the beginning, Vol 1. I say this for a few reasons:

-The Light Novels go into a lot more depth with the story/plot, the characters, the comedy; as I said in my previous post, the anime cut out a load of good material. You'll learn a lot of new things that you wouldn't have got from the anime. You'll also laugh more because to be honest, the comedy in the light novels is great (Kotori is amazing).

-The pacing is much better then both seasons. It won't feel bland.

-The story fits much better as a light novel then an anime. Getting to hear Shidou's thoughts as well as reading detailed descriptions of everything beats seeing it in a show.

-!!IMPORTANT!! The anime changes/removes certain areas of the plot that are VERY IMPORTANT to the overall story. If you start the LN's halfway through, certain things will not make sense.!!

-It's a high quality series with good writing and Tsunako art that is just... beautiful!

-If you were going to rewatch the series anyway, then there's no better time to restart on Vol 1 of the LN's.



So overall, amazing book series, start from the beginning :)

As for sending you ways to read it... i will PM you since I could get banned for publicly sharing the source ;)
