Date A Bullet: Nightmare or Queen

The conclusion to a side story nobody asked for with a character inexplicably favorited by many a gacha game player purely on her design and nothing about her character or role in the series. If you couldn't tell, I'm not a fan.

If you haven't seen season 4 of the main series you may be left scratching your head, as the later half of this spin-off relies on you having knowledge of Kurumi's backstory, which isn't explained until then. Looking at it that way it's slightly more interesting as a continuation of those story beats, but seeing as I still don't care for the character in ... the first place it can't really save a mediocre show. The plot was predictable and boring, telegraphing it's only real twist so hard you wonder why they bothered trying to make it a twist, and making sure to kill off all those boring characters introduced in part one who's names I'm sure you don't remember.

It wasn't horrible, just nothing remarkable here to make it worth watching if you're not some weird Kurumi stan. 7/10

Date A Bullet: Nightmare or Queen (2020)

They say a 10 is something you can watch over and over again. This is one such show and not just because Kurumi Tokisaki is the best girl to come out of all of anime.

The story continues directly from the last Date A Bullet segment and comes to its finale that then leads us to season 4 of the main Date A Live show when it comes out. It paces itself really nicely and has a nice twist to it that makes for a great episode.

The art is superbly done and very high quality.

The soundtrack and sound ... are of really great quality. The OP and ED are both awesome. Kurumi's personal soundtrack is awesome as usual and iconic nowadays.

Characters primarily around Kurumi develop and you really understand her much more than ever before if you are anime only. You see her when she was not even a spirit which was super cute, as well as her friend Sawa. Hibiki makes a great character on this one too. Should see more of her going forwards it would seem.

The episode is really great and memorable, definitely a fine addition to the series. 10/10.

Story (6) :
Just like the previous review, more or less the same, the battle is also decent but there is no hype yet. And the background story is still lacking. But this is also important for Kurumi's Story that we doesn't know, But it doesnt really well executed, but im not saying its bad either

Characters (6) :
Same as before, but this new villain called White Queen just mediocre. Like we're not really get to know the depth of this White Queen very detail

Visual (8) :
Same as before, but the fighting animation is still lacking for the combat, and the choreography of this ... fighting.

Audio (7) :
Same as before
