Preliminary Spoiler

Preliminary (4/12 eps)
Have you ever thought that life is only for dating?

The story begins with a jerk young man who likes cheating when he already has a girlfriend but still wants to look for another named Shidou Itsuka, but jokes. It's back at the beginning Shidou has a mission to date some girls ... but the date he's not dating is normal. this danger is to hasten the spirit that disturbs the earth. This series now has three different studios set in series (Date A Live is sometimes cheating) in my opinion the adaptation of the third series is not much different from the previous series, I ...

It's Origami's time to shine!

Date A Live III was unexpected for LA let alone it now being taken over by JC Staff for animation, but aside from that, this season looks at Natsumi and Origami's arc and boy are they good, especially Origami's.

LA will note before going on that besides Kurumi being the best character in the entire show bar none, LA actually liked Origami VERY early on for being such an interesting character, of being the deadpan stoic character yet not a shy one but a trickster one and she just runs with that personality that not only slips up Shidou but nearly the ...

Actually the best season this show has to offer yet. It catched my heart in the first 5 episodes and got me into an unexpected feeling of excitement.

The third season features a lot of intense thrilling happenings. Now it doesn't rely much on the talk-no-jutsu of the show but it actually takes actions and strats now.

In the first few episodes, we are featured with something that has an entirely unique approach of the show. The bunch now has a intense, thrilling challenges, and complicated trials have fallen unto the MCs responsibilities. This gives the show its need for entertainment since there was not ...

Preliminary (7/12 eps)
Warning: This review contains a little bit of spoilers. Of course it has spoilers, its a review what did you expect?

First of all Date A Live is my favorite anime of all time I got so excited when I saw the announcement that it will have a 3rd season I waited until I saw the trailer I'm a real Date A Live fan and it hurts for me to say this but still I will say my opinion.

Story - 7
The story didn't change a bit and it makes you feel happy and cringey at the same time, but I got excited when I saw Rinne ...

Preliminary (6/12 eps)
BIG SPOILERS AHEAD FOR NON-LIGHT NOVEL READERS.

I liked the concept of Date A Live with the fact of it being a harem, it does not affect the story and the developments made by each character. As for the third season, I can say that this might be the biggest event in the entire Date A Live franchise since it will cover the volumes 8 to 12, I think and they will probably cover the climax of the story next season by starting of the introduction of a new spirit and ends with the Mio arc.
As far as the story is a concern, this season will ...

We had all been waiting eagerly for this. It was roughly half a year late, they swtiched out people working on the project yet they still did manage to pull off a quiet impressive work that I can say that I really enjoyed watching and I would no even like to see more of this. The amount of work and the level of quality that has been put into this is qiuet impressive, they even made separate animations for different intros to not spoil anything as you continued to watch.

The music is intruiging and the buildup is always really epic and just wants you ...

Preliminary (9/12 eps)
Date A Live III - Firstly, it started off bland in the initial episodes with the Spirit Natsumi... It's the same concept being re-used many times but this time round, Natsumi takes up way too much episodes for season 3 as compared to the other spirit in previous season 1 or 2.

But nevertheless, as a long term fan of DAL, I managed to push through to episode 9. And Yes! Episode 9 is what makes DAL interesting again! And also, it make Kurumi Great Again!

If you like Stein Gates, then you will come to embrace the love for this show after Natsumi's Story Arc. ...

Ok this review will go into spoiler territory but I have to write after looking at other reviews. Date Alive is a harem romcom with elements that you would automatically expect from a harem. Not to mention this is the third season of a beloved series that started back in 2013. After watching the first two seasons you start to grow more attached to every character which is exactly how I felt coming back to this show after 2015 from the movie adaptation. Now here are some things that other reviews are saying but missing the point.

Story: Yes, I won't lie things are rushed ...

I thought the story of this anime was very enjoyable. I liked the plot twists of this season. It does stand out from most anime which was refreshing.

The art of this anime is good. I enjoyed the art style for it. The action scenes did have a few noticable quality drops in 1 episode. I like the character design of this anime.

The music for this anime was excellent. I especially enjoyed the battle theme for this anime. The opening and ending were also enjoyable.

The characters for this anime feature a lot of cliches, but ...

SPOILER HEAVY REVIEW:

DAL S3 isn't as disastrous in animation as people claim. It is serviceable, average and whomever watches DAL S3 for its animation is stupid.

Not to mention that not even MAL has an "animation" category.

One of the most brilliant stories in recent memory. The sound composition is phenomenal.

Episode 12 may hands down be the best finale I've seen since Last Exile and that says a lot as to how great this show was. The art, as always, is great.

Ok, so I'm giving this season a 10 for all because I really love the series, but here's the deal...

So, I, like many others, have anxiously waited for season 3 to air. We finally get it, and I hear all these bad reviews, and I don't understand why. I sat down and just finished watching it. It kept me watching episode after episode, wanting to find out more and more of how it progresses (not having read the LN's at all). And then... outta nowhere... the final episode comes and now I know y everyone hated it. They rushed it like MAD. It coulda easily ...

Alright, I'll be honest here. Most of you are saying that season 3 was absolute garbage and you know what? I agree, why? Because the light novel is very different from the anime!

From where season 2 left off, s3 start with miku coming into the spirit mansion when in the light novel, Miku, kotori and shido were discussing about phantom and how Miku got the power.

And the latest episode, don't even consider it canon, it was suppose to be the start of season 4 and episode 12 of season 3 should've been that shido side story.

And you would think, about how the plot ...

I saw the first two seasons a year ago and when I recently got into this, I felt some nostalgia. The third season was kinda exciting. Although, the last couple episodes were a tad confusing. But besides that, the show really kept me entertained and wanting more. Shido continues to build his harem of "Alien Girls" and was a great person who continues to reach out and help those in need. Natsumi is an interesting character, her back story somewhat sad. Her powers are hilarious. All in all, you see some old faces and new faces. It's really entertaining and if you haven't seen the ...

Was excited for the third season to this anime. It's always been a solid go to series for me. This season didn't disappoint. About the only complaint I had was the art. It was a little sub par compared to the previous entries in the series, which could be chalked up to JC Staff taking on too much work this year. Beyond that, though, it was still the same old Date A Live. Same fun characters, harem comedy, fun action and a little bit of romance. That ending was sweet. Fortunately they didn't try to make the Kurumi arc as complicated as it could have ...

Date A Live Season 3 make it even more better than two previously season of course first of all I like the fact that they focused of Origami and she was became part of spirit and she almost tries to kill whole spirit but she didn't all thank for kurumi who she tries to manipulated her until Origami turned evil attacked through city until shido stop her after then kurumi meet shido and he got shot and sent to past and saved origami and probably saved her family as well and she completely changed when Shido was went so confused about her even she turned ...

tl;dr: A sequel season that has a story with a weak first arc and pretty great second arc, though seems to be a not so great adaptation across the board.

This is the third season of Date A Live and yet again the previous studio has gone bankrupt and production has shifted to a new one. Story wise it’s pretty much the same as past seasons in that it’s essentially entirely character oriented with the majority of the focus being on the heroine’s who’s arc it is, this season first focusing on Natsumi and then Origami.

The arc involving Natsumi has various things going on centered around ...

After 3 seasons and a few movies, I've overestimated this anime. A lot of people were talking about this anime like how good it was and stuff like that. Honestly, it was kind of good, but not worth it for a top-tier anime. So this anime has a lot of stuff that we don't know yet, for example ''What are spirits?'' ''Where do they come from?'' ''Who is the phantom girl?'' A lot of questions in my head yet it is still unanswered after 3 seasons. Now there is Date A Live season 4 coming, still don't know the exact release yet, but maybe we'll ...
Apr 21, 2019
The third chapter of the Date A Live series lives up to the first two and manages to be a fun, entertaining ride filled with twists and a refreshing level of character development.

The story is solid with each episode changing the stakes for the characters. This season manages to cram several full arcs without sacrificing much from any. We are introduced to new friends and enemies while characters from prior seasons continue to develop and grow. Every episode will keep you on the edge of your seat. A fulfilling ride from start to finish.

The visuals are crisp with minimal shortcuts taken. The art ...

Preliminary (11/12 eps)
So far the anime has been really enjoying for me and I have been waiting for this 3rd season for a long time I agree with what everyone said but just give the anime some time and chance the author may have something surprise plan later in the anime I just don't want it to end I've seen so many good anime that get a second season let alone a 3rd season. I know my review is just my own personal opinion but I have this feeling that the anime is going to get good and will make a comeback. The story is still ...

To be honest i was planning on giving 10/10 but this season (season3) the way it ended was not really good. i mean its not sad or emotional or something but its more like they just ended this very soon. when i first saw Season 1 it really felt amazing to watch, the story was good too i also shipped [TohkaX Shido] i wanted them to be together but again its a harem anime.

the polt of this season was also good but the only thing i disliked was the ending. i feel like half of the story is still left to cover and they ...
