YES, finally after 5 years, we're seeing the light of Date A Live once again...thank you Tachibana-sensei (the author of the series)!
NO, to production woes, the J.C.Staff that could do no wrong, proceeded to trash this series! Where are you ENGI???

I'll admit, being a long-time DAL fan ever since its inception in 2013 has its benefits and drawbacks. For one, we get a fairly generic harem story and action that was somewhat interesting and intriguing for its time, its lineup of character Spirits and the MC harem "Master" that is Shido Itsuki, that left us wanting for more of them ever since Season 2's end ...

I hope that by the time we get to volume...20 or so in the adaptation, we don't end up just going through every conceivable animation studio to make this thing.  

Story:

Find the spirit, date the girl, make her fall in love, seal the deal with a kiss.  Like its predecessors, Date A Live III continues the story of Itsuka Shido and the crew of the Ratatoskr as this strange boy capable of sealing the mysterious spirits finds and helps the girls, both old and new, while starting to uncover the mystery of the spirits and their origin.

Covering roughly volumes 8-12 of the light novel, DAL III ...

[This review assumes you've watched all previous Date A Live seasons as well as Mayuri's Judgment and are familiar with the characters and concepts]

Date A Live was the anime that made me interested in watching anime. For some reason it had this weird appeal that made me curious to explore the medium. Much like many people's first anime it has stuck with me and I still enjoy it today despite how my views on anime have changed overtime. So, when I heard that Date A Live was ...

TL;DR: A non-solid adaption on a potential story


There are three character arcs in total. Natsumi, Origami and Shido. The good news is there's not much fanservice in major character arc, but sadly the story is not delivered properly. The art and the animation is a joke, we will discuss these one by one.


Natsumi arc


I’ll cut this straight. The story focus too much on the guessing game, rather than the character itself. I have quite a bit of enjoyment with Natsumi. However, there are not much description on reasons behind this. The introduction is also pretty brief and rushed. It's quite briefly mentioned and requires more ...

Date A Live is a series that probably should not have run as long as it has given its simple and very gimmicky premise, but here we are anyway. S1 of Date A Live was actually surprisingly good given what was going against it initially. Good visual presentation, a memorable character cast, and a pretty decent story. S2 follow up on that a year later to very lackluster results, thanks in no part to the much weaker plot lines and annoying additions to the character cast. There was a movie in-between the wait but S3 of the series finally got announced. And when the key ...

Well, well, well. If it isn't Date A Live III, the anime that's trying so hard to be good but falls short in some areas. Let me break it down for you.

The story is a bit convoluted, with a lot of unnecessary twists and turns that don't really add much to the overall plot. It's a shame because the concept of "saving the world by dating girls" could have been really interesting, but it's not executed as well as it could have been.

As for the main characters, Shido, Tohka, and Origami are the ones that stand out the most. Shido ...

Ive tackled season 1 and 2. After the experience of e watching this anime’s S3, again, I really think this will deserve a similar score to that. I will make this self explanatory because its pretty much the same explanation.

-New characters Introduced
-Typical slice of life
-Romance and Ecchi
-Form activated because of kissing a guy

That’s all i have to say for now, unless changes are made for the S4.
Again four the love of God, this is based on opinions personally so pls dont get yourself offended. Otherwise, if you want to see this then its fine for me, because that doesn’t bother me anyways.

That’s all for ...

Date a Live franchise story is pretty much dumb but entertaining, Date A Live season 1 and 2 were well-rounded and enjoyable. Animation, artstyle, OST, everything was well thoughtout.
Until JC.STAFF took over, pretty much everything that JC.STAFF did in 2019 had significantly lower quality of animation and character drawings. One punch man season 2, clearly did not live up to the EPIC standards from Madhouse.
So sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, whoever that made the decision that allowed JC.STAFF to utterly butcher all those anime that they did in 2019... FK YOU.

I don't even blame the animation staff, they were definitely overworked to ...

Date A Live season 3 is the third season of the hit romcom, mecha, scifi, harem anime based on the lightnovel by Kōshi Tachibana, its follows up immediately after season 2, Itsuka Shido is once again back saving new spirits, fighting DEM, and providing some much needed help to Origami, while also dealing with some inner turmoil within himself. Let me start by saying that season 3 felt more like another establishing point for the anime than a continuation, it felt more like season 1 than season 3 actually, I expected more gore, more epic fight scenes and an actual continuation to the story which ...
