What, Kurumi fucking shot Kotori. Nooo.

Kotori and that large cannon weapon. So basically, she becomes a spirit now and much cooler than her usual annoying self imo. I find Kurumi to be a bit concerned but I guess maybe excited at the same time. Dat eyes:


Episode felt a bit slow for me with Kotori talking. Dat emotions ;.; Oh and I bet Origimi is just enjoying her time with Shido this episode in the episode even though she has a KNIFE. Oh and the usual tempting. Origimi, oh you.

Yeah, Origami took FULL advantage of her personal time with Shido.

Hope to see Kurumi again in the future. She's great.

if there's a black rock shooter, then Itsuka Kotori is the Red Rock Shooter (but without red-flame in her eyes) LOL...

This ep was a good intro for Sister Itsuka arc. The only complain I have was how they rushed the battle, which made it a little awkward and confusing for non-novel readers. Before the opening, there were Kurumis everywhere and after the opening, one on one battle between real Kurumi and Kotori. Hope they fix that for the blu-ray/dvd release.

Origami sure took full advantage with her alone time with Shido. Too bad they took out that thermometer scene. That was my favourite part at that scene in the novel.

8.5/10 for this ep and looking forward to the swimsuit wars next episode.

Good Episode. Too bad, the battle between Kotori and Kurumi didn't last long (It was a bit longer in the LN). They did a great job animating Astral Dress Kotori though.

Next time, swimsuit battle episode. 2 episodes left. At this pace, they will clear volume 4, I wouldn't mind seeing a Kotori ending, but I'd rather have a open end for a season 2, lol

In the LN the battle between Kotori and Kurumi was more epic. The battle was too rushed.

I loved the part how Origami seducing Shido and making him staying with her by blackmailing him with a knife, lol.

Kotori looked pretty good in her Astral outfit and her hair down.

I think the only arc that was not rush was Kurumi LOL, they skip Origami flashback, and some scenes skip, must've been too steamy for the viewers~, swim suit battle is next, by the way, was it just me or was the audio 2 seconds slower than the video itself?

Is season 2 possible?

Okay... now a Kurumi arc and Kotori arc or Kurumi arc is postponed?

Either way, since there are 2 episodes left, I wonder what ending arc they will use to end this season.

Also, it seems Kotori finally gonna have some lovey dovey moment on this series.

Damn. Kotori is beautiful in her Spirit. Hot, fierce and insane!

Her face shows she can be more insane and powerful than Kurumi. If Shidou didn't save Kurumi, she should've been toast or just ashes to collect.

The anime is really rushing things here as expected. Well it ain't the first time it happened. They're pretty much cramping all four volumes in 12 episodes because of costs. And a possible season two will depend on BD/DVD and merchandise sales. Also it can take years before they announce it.

I'm pretty sure they'll the series with the last part of the 4th Volume.

I really love Date A Live's character design (the girls from Touka to Mana all look more attractive in the anime than the LN) and the art and music, but there are at least two things that prevent me from giving it an unqualified thumb-up to the anime: 1) The really cheap ED and 2) the underwhelming battle scenes. I still remember how they screwed up the wrath of Touka when she thought Shidou was shot dead by Origami. And again we have a battle scene that looks less than impressive...
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.

Well, the battle was quite short. I supposed Kurumi won't be saved so soon. Haven't read the novel yet I wonder how it will end with her.

So Kotori's power flame and regeneration. Totally a phoenix. She might be more insane than Kurumi when her switch is turn on.

Only 2 episodes left, the ending will surely not be satisfying.

I don't read the LN, so I was okay with the fight. It could have been better, though. I am going to miss Kurumi, too bad she won't appear in this season anymore. I guess the last episodes will be about saving Kotori.

Kotori op. Even someone who controls time can't beat her...

I thought this was going to be a serious episode, then Origami showed up and it looked like everything was going to become service, and then we receive confirmation for a huge plot point at the end. I wonder what's going to happen with Origami once she finds out that Efreet is Kotori and that Shidou will inevitably try to protect Kotori from her. Well, not that Kotori would ever be threatened by Origami seeing how she's basically invincible.

I don't think Origami is weak, but yeah, she annoys me a lot too. Lol I thought I was the only one.

And yeah I disliked Kotori at first too but now I've come to like her. If it just wasn't for Origami being annoying, maybe this series would be slightly more enjoyable.
