| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hmm, I find Tohka's date with Shido a bit weird. (mostly since Natsumi is still on his mind) Tohka and her big appetite though lol Felt like the episode was kinda slow. But hey, at least Yuzuru got some screen time. I feel like she's an underrated character in the franchise. Natsumi's back causing trouble again D: |

| Yoshino's scene was better than I expected. |

KurumiJougasaki said: Another great episode! Nice to see yoshino taking another big step to get closer to shido. Hope to see kurumi in this season soon. Well, from what I remember Kurumi did not appear in this arc but plays a major role in the next Origami arc. |
Zaphkiel_El_Rem said: Yoshino's scene was better than I expected. That was extremely adorable, I wish I was Shido in that scenario and being fed a slice of pancake from her. |
 |
| 3 dates in 1 episode, that went faster than i expected. well, this show won't get worse if they pick up the pace a little bit. also, the girl was kidnapped by a broom -_- Zaphkiel_El_Rem said: Yoshino's scene was better than I expected. lol, i loved it when she was smacking the table of enjoyment from those pancakes ;з |
 |
| The art improved a ton compared to last ep, and that OP sequence was great! the foreshadowings! Didnt like the ED song that much but the OP is so good. Angru Touka is best Touka  |

| Im glad they got the animation fixed. That was a great episode and we got to spend time with some of my favorite girls. |
| Sweet, the animation quality for this episode was an immense upgrade and that’s very pleasing to see! Thank You J.C. Staff and here’s to hoping this level of quality will retain throughout the course of the season! 4 dates a in a day, boy that must’ve been exhausting lol. All of the dates had their moments, Yoshino’s bold move there clearly the winner though. Yuzuru has been apprehended but Shido still believes in Natsumi, looking forward to how this plays out. Hopefully, it’s just a game though since it’s funny considering Natsumi is super pissed at him simply because of him seeing her sneeze there for a second. Anyway, the soundtracks for the episode, especially during the Yuzuru scene, were glorious and that’s great to have! |

| Is this ep's art comparable to the other two seasons'? |
JJH_ said: AlucardNoYuuutsu said: Is this ep's art comparable to the other two seasons'? It's slightly different but definitely lives up to previous quality. There's nothing weird about how things look, and I just binged ALL of DAL last week. Nice <3 I love DAL. |
| I don't like what they did to Yuzuru, her eyes are unrecognizable from the previous two seasons, now she's hard to tell the twins who is who, even probably the her VA changed And what's up with those repeats questions of their conquest, we already know those shits about the twins, about that both of them wanting to pick their sister instead of thyself, and the most annoying part is Shido being a beta cuck, handling Yuzuru poorly even though he already knows the twins issues smfh that's just annoying af |
| So, didn't that ending basically say he's going to keep failing for ages before discovering who Natsumi is? Why reveal that after just one disappearance? Sure, I don't necessarily want this "game" to drag on for too long, but it seems weird to reveal how it's going to progress and then likely skip a lot. As for who Natsumi is impersonating, it's still difficult to call but I can only assume it will be Kotori, as even with her constant reminders to Shido that she could be Natsumi I don't think he actually expects it to be. At the very least, it obviously wasn't Tohka or Yuzuru based on the dates we did see. |
| Well the beginning made it obvious that Isaac Wescott got DEM well under control. Wonder if Rinne will also get some screentime since she appears in the opening. I like the ending, lots of Origami and young Origami looking forward to her arc, but before that i hope she gets a proper date in this arc Yoshino looked cute in her Witch costume; she got Shido for a second also Good Job! way to go Yoshino ;)  Clear winner was Yuzuru though, this episode made it clear that much more Yuzuru is needed, poor Kaguya worrying about her sister |

| just because I’ve gotten weaker, doesn’t mean that you got stronger, does it? |
| Wow, great op, probably my favorite of this season and freaking good episode |
| The opening I felt was kinda soft song wise. Could be because I haven't watched DaL since the Mayuri Judgment movie. The Ending was alright though. The first 2 dates reminded me of what the characters were like and I guess while it was cute to watch them interact with Shidou. I felt a bit bored. The 4th date with Yuzuru was pretty good though. I enjoyed it. I also legitimately thought she was Natsumi. The beginning and ending of this episode have convinced me to continue watching it. I hope I'll be ablo to enjoy more of it as the season goes on. |
| Wescott up to no good as usual, him and Mira might be even more dangerous this season. Tohka would give any Saiyan a run for their money when ti comes to food. Well that was rather cute between Shido & Yoshino, trick or treat indeed, the witch's hat got me for a moment. If Natsumi was Yuzu she did a great impersonation, either that or she is just going to make someone disappear each day regardless. Brother sister date next time, will be fun to watch. |

| That's what I'm talking about! Dates and animation. It's all it needs. |
| THERE WE GO, The art/animation is back to what it's supposed to look like. Was extremely worried it was gonna look like episode 1 for the rest of the anime Also seeing Angry Tohka was adorable <3 |
 |
| Ayy the animation is decent now. Lol that moment he had to "date" his male classmate... XD |
| So the dates begin.. Still slightly disappointed about the art, however this seems to be an improvement from Ep 1. Which I am very glad with. The OP is as what you expect, with the same Artist that made the OP! Touka and her appetite still amazes me sometimes. The hat Yoshino was wearing put me so off thinking it was Natsumi, honestly thought "so much for the disquise" XD So Yuzuru ended up taken by Natsumi :( She's been talking like this ever since she got introduced in S2, however I can see why it can get annoying, but personally not bothered by it. |
 |
So glad to see the art improve this episode. Sweet Arms delivers another awesome opening as usual. The ending was alright, but definitely my least favorite of the series thus far. Overall, it gets a thumbs up from me. |
| did anyone else notice the skyrocket in art quality???? O___O |
 |
| Welp, hope Yuzuru is safe, she got some well deserved alone time with Shido, they barely interacted even during her own and Kaguya's arc... I rewatched the scene in episode 1 where Natsumi gets mad but I still don't get what she got mad about (apart from some kind of energy shield breaking on her...). She behaved way too differently after that, maybe it's a case of double personality or something... |
EcchiGodMamsterP said: did anyone else notice the skyrocket in art quality???? O___O Yes, all of us did, its like 2 different studio's. Ep2's art is so dang beautiful. |
| |
| Yoshino so cute :) |
| Yoshino is so fucking kawaii!! ^-^ And Yuzuru/Tohka had their sweet moments as well :D. But i'm just here waiting for my bae Kurumi to appear probably during the second half of the series. Gotta be patient! Pretty good episode, must be hard for Shido to go out on all of those dates with second thoughts.. Really wanna see how he's going to fix this mess! PS: The art style and animation both improved like, A LOT, couldn't be happier with the result, hope the great quality continues through the rest of the show! |
 |
EcchiGodMamsterP said: did anyone else notice the skyrocket in art quality???? O___O Yeah, the art improved in the ep 2. It's a lot better compared to the PV and ep 1. |
 |
| suddenly, good animation! They didn't show the date with the dude, booo hahaha |
| This is not your planet to rule. The Fallen shall rise again. |
| Seems like the overall art quality actually improved a lot this episode, and its not just me getting used to it. Yay! ^^ I'm reminded at this point that animating anime is supposedly an abysmally-paid job. =[ LukesYGO_WSonYT said: Empty plates piled that high; sure looks like a Saiyan's restaurant table. o.o"Wescott up to no good as usual, him and Mira might be even more dangerous this season. Tohka would give any Saiyan a run for their money when ti comes to food. -snip- That opening scene... wait, what anime am I watching again? DAL doesn't do dismemberments, right!? Even Kurumi tended to just leave pools of blood. I'm a little confused by Ellen... In season 2, she alternated between being woefully clumsy, and being the most dangerous DEM wizard. _MushiRock11_ said: It's probably nothing compared to the 3 concurrent dates in season 1... xD4 dates a in a day, boy that must’ve been exhausting lol. -snip- Anyway, the soundtracks for the episode, especially during the Yuzuru scene, were glorious and that’s great to have! Was a little odd to hear a song I associated with Kotori from the movie, play in a scene with Shido and Yuzuru, but I suppose it fits fine. I'll guess Natsumi intends to kidnap one person per day until Shido picks her out. The idea of trying to pick out an imposter from one of these characters that we're supposed to know fairly well is interesting. (Regrettably, I think I read a spoiler for this arc somewhere. >.<) Wonder if there's any point in Shido asking the girls recent history questions, because then it'd be too easy to blow Natsumi's cover. O.o? |
| Let the game of cat and mouse began. Can't wait for shirou to go through hell lol. Also, whenever I see Reine my heart it hurts. |

O.o? Just remember this and I think u will guess who Natsumi is I think it's Shido who said it or someone other can't remember right now. |
| testing how much Shido really knows his girls, which girl is real, and how much the girls love him, so fun !!! WHAT WONDERFUL DATES !!!!! Can't wait for the next episode :DDD |

MarvelousSekai said: Basically they left a small tip as to who Natsumi really is but I guess noone noticed it. |
| A significant improvement with the animation quality in this week's episode. Kinda happy with that and hope it won't degrade again, but instead improve further. Yoshino was extra-adorable in this episode with that Halloween costume. Kinda disappointed that they just skipped Shido's date with Hiroto like that. XD That's a "must-see" date considering what Natsumi did to him when she disguised as Shido. I wonder if the same thing happened in the LN though. Yuzuru disappeared. That's one down but I think in the end frames they showed 8 of the 12 pictures in grayscale which means that only Kotori, Origami, Kaguya, and Miku are left. Looking forward to see how Shido will resolve this issue. |

Loathsome said: i want kurumi i only watch it for her She has a big role in 10-11 volumes, aka 7-12 for S3 most probably. |

| I thought Rinne Sonogami (pink haired girl in opening) is game only chracter. Is she in the novel too? |
