| 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. |
Arlia said: That part was explained in the novel. Actually when Kotori puts on Black Ribbon she basically kills her true self to fit her role as a commander in charge of saving the damn world. They're several occurrence of Shidou waiting for Kotori to put her black ribbons when shit happens. She's not as the same level as Yoshino who actually has two distinct personalities. Thanks for detailed explanation. In anime I can only guess this thing. (now it can be worthy of checking what color of ribbons Kotori wore in previous episodes and whether she switched them or not) |
| NOOOO, I thought this was 13 episodes... >.> Words can't describe how much I love his imouto. Please be a good end. |

Arlia said: Mich666 said: On that video - are there two Kotoris? (like in OP?) Good with white ribbons and bad with black ones? Like not only in her mind but in real?

They're several occurrence of Shidou waiting for Kotori to put her black ribbons when shit happens. She's not as the same level as Yoshino who actually has two distinct personalities. wow now it finally makes sense... I was asking myself the whole time how a innocent girl we saw at the beginning in episode 1 beacomes such a badass commander. The Anime did a bad job not explaining it. Regarding the Episode I thought it was nice. A bit of Fanservice at the beginning and a nice build-up for the finale. It's gonna be tough to wrap this up in one episode so maybe we'll see a 2nd season? |

And i don't think it's a bad thing. Origami is a entertaining harem member. I totally agree with all that is written above. Let me elaborate. First off, Origami is a likeable character. As mentioned above, she has a relatively unusual personality and she adds a lot to the fun of this show. Additionally, I think Shido is an above-average male lead. He gets pushed around a bit but he is dependable when he needs to be. Also, he is a nice guy and he genuinely cares about the feelings of others. I can think of more than a few male leads in harem anime that detract from the quality of the show. Shido does not fall in this category and I would go as far as to say he is an admirable male lead. I hope this show gets a season 2. According to a post I read online, there are more spirits to be revealed and more fun to be had. I will be watching the sales, anime and light novel, closely and crossing my fingers. |

| Omg please tell me that wasn't Tohka and Yoshino disappearing in the preview :( |
 |
| Man nice episode. sad to see it end with its last episode next T_T. I think this will end with an open ending hmmm, I need more tokha and origami lol I'm really hoping for a season two so........ |
| Tch. |
| Another episode riddled with fanservice and absurdities. I'm such a masochist for even trying to finish this series. 1/10 |
| Go ***k yourself. Polite as usual, lightXTC |
Mich666 said: I have been paying attention since ep.1 I think after ep.1 she has never changed color of the ribbon.

| I hope they reveal who was in the picture from the 5 year old footage. The swimsuit thing was pretty boring though. I don't think that they can fit everything in 1 more episode. I can't say that I want a season 2 either though, cus' I know that there's gonna be more Origami annoying fan service in it, can't stand her at all... |
| *fanfare* We have a winner! Nice episode. And I liked how shidou threw that earpiece away in the end to go on a REAL date with his imouto |
| I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl |
| I prey for the day when Animes just stop doing *Beach* episode though i know it will never happen :/ seeing this one to the end even if it wasn't that good |
 |
| Alright episode!!! I liked the swimsuits that the girls were wearing and Origami was funny as usual competing with Tohka for Shido. So we have a Kotori date and I'm guessing this will be the hardest one she was the commander for Shido's date and not to mention that she is a lot harder to satisfy. Though she seems to be suffering a lot to the point of using doses a lot. The ocean park date was pretty enjoyable and it's good to see Shido cast away his earpiece equipment and use his instincts to save his sister. The AST have a new weapon EW-029 Annihilation Suit which seems to pack a lot of power. Origami has found out about Kotori and is preparing for her revenge. Looking forward to the last episode!! 5/5 |

| Well so far this anime has been a little disappointing. All the characters do not get a equal amount of screen time. Only one more episodes left plus some OVA's. That said I do not dislike Date A Live, I was just expecting it to be li together a little better. Now for this episode. It was kinda sad because of what we know is going to happen with Kotori. The only funny part was when he went with option three. Kotori was shocked which was great since she knew he was recieving instructions from everybody else. It was also predictable that he would ditch his communicator. This is definitely going to be shido's most difficult challenge. I can't help but think this anime needed a couple more episodes for the Kotori arc. I know there are still the OVA's but they usually tell backstory or are just fillers that take place after the anime. 3/5 |
| If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime? |
| Origami explaining Tohka.....!!! Swimsuits...!!! Totally hilarious...! |
| Loved this episode. I really liked the song that played at the water park. Shido is one lucky bastard. Going on a water slide with Tohka and Kotori in that position. I wish Kurumi was here to join the fun. Only 1 more episode to go. Kurumi better make her appearance in that episode or I'll rage. 5/5 |

| I knew it, I knew that the commander is going to choose number 3 rofl. Nice episode, that swimsuits scene ftw |
| lol at Origami when she was begging them nice episode but no Kurumi :( |
 |
| hahaha....at the end yoshino win. lol still wondering, who the person seen by shido in that video. huft... |
snarlmane said: I don't really get the Origami hate, but then again I haven't read through all of the episode discussions. She is by far the best thing this dull, generic as -bleep- show has to offer. Almost every single scene she's in, she's doing some ridiculously over the top perverted stuff while keeping a straight cold exterior. She IS the funniest character in this show. |
| Origami is by far more bold in the Light Novel. Her Stalking skill are not to be overlooked. |
 |
| omg yoshino. too bad kurumi wasn't there |
 |
| GREAT EPISODE! NO SUB FOR EPISODE 12!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NEED MOAR! STUPID CLIFF HANGER ENDINGS! |
 |
| The whole thing is a bit boring but at least the swimsuit service is not so bad( although Kurumi is still a lot better than them)with exception of the trio bitches especially the glasses girl, they annoyed the hell out of me more than Shido |

| Meh, a boring episode for me. But Yoshino is damn cute in this one. Now I wonder how they'll handle the last episode. I can't say I'm looking forward to it though. |
| SWIMSUIT EPISODE, anyway, considering this is before the last ep, i start to feel bad for kotori, considering this would be her *last* moment with shido and the preview... are the spirits starts to fade? the piano theme makes me cryy, this is truly the moments before the end... i have no regrets not reading the LN beforehand, |

(There was a lot of ":'( ) |
| |
| WOW Tohka was extra cute in this episode during the swimsuit service part. It seems like we're never going to see Kurumi again this season...that sucks. |
| Anyone knows the song at the pool? |
| question to LN readers : who is Ratatoskr founder/owner? at first i thought it's belong to Kotori Family |
| I liked how all of them booked in their swimsuits ^^ Still pretty lame dating, especially with Shido =/ |
 |
| Great fan service episode (Yoshino was so damn cute in her swimsuit ^^) but with only one episode i feel like they are gonna waste the ending because there so much left about Shido and Kotori date, Origami wanting her revenge and Kurumi which haven't reappeared yet . |
 |
| Man... if they were planning to dump Kurumi from the rest of the show they should have just made her turn good so she could go with them to the water park. This episode literally would have been perfect for her. ;-; BUT overall, was a pretty good episode regardless. |
 |
| I was thinking "please don't turn ultra serious on me" and I'm glad it didn't. Still plenty of trolling to keep me entertained and the serious scenes are also done pretty good, they don't try to make them ultra serious which would make them silly and chiché as hell. I'm looking forward to the next episode. Gigaknight said: I must be one of the only people that dislike Origami. She throws her reasoning skills and good judgment out the window for the sake of bloodlustful revenge--not even doing that right, because she doesn't think straight in ways other than "kill spirit". She just causes problems for herself (almost got killed by Tohka early on, later Kurumi) and others (blazes Shido through the chest with a sniper rifle earlier in the series). She looks nowhere near as good as Tohka, on top of that. What's the appeal? o_o I agree. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| this is depressing. What the eff was good about generic harem anime #104 that it deserves a 2nd season? So many other series that deserve a 2nd or 3rd season but crap like this gets support instead. |
| Lol @ pervert Kyouhei and his voice looks perfectly pervert This definitely felt a bit like filler.. but oh well Next ep it's the last ep... I hope it has good or even great conclusion :) |
"Signature removed"   |
| awwwwwh i was hoping to see Kurumi in a swimsuit this episode, mmm regaurdless fair episode, thought ther'd be more ecchi ness, but seeing Murasame in a swimsuit is fine by me.(●´∀｀●) |
| Yeahhhhh a pool and swimsuit episode ftw. Everyone looked great respectively and lol that whole scene in the store was hilarious. Red, strong, and dwah~ haha Tohka is just too adorable. And Yoshino hnngggg. Awww Kotori just wants to enjoy this last date with her brother despite the way she acts unimpressed about everything. It is so cute to see her flash her true emotions every once in a while though like being jealous of the others. Gj to Shido for taking control of the date himself. And that preview music just felt so sad. |
 |
| Oh boy Origami knows now... and damn that fan service was the best, the HNNGG factor with Yoshino sure is high! Well either way lovely episode, so lets see what the last episode of this first season has to offer! |
 |
| Who's the blur that Shido was referring to when he was watching the incident from five years ago? |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I already expected that Shidou would take off his receiver, but did not expect him to treat it so lightly, and throw it on the floor, meh. Tohka was funny in this episode, her description of the Efreet, "It was.. red.." LOL Of course it was red, it's fire after all lolol |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| In the next episode, the AST fucks shit up for no good reason. Meanwhile, they hold off until the last day to do their date thing cause why not. *shrug* |
| This episode is a fanservice thing. But I can't deny the girls are hot and sexy. Poor Shidou. But duh, he's lucky because the girls are in love with him. OHMY. THE NEXT, OR WE SAY THE LAST, EPISODE WOULD BE: KOTORI VS. ORIGAMI. |
