Ok so , Yuzuru is the 1st victim of Natsumi, so what if Natsumi isn't disgusting as one of those in the picture rather she is just above the sky watching???

Episode style "dates to live", events and kawaii scenes ... But with the new opening and ending we can see Kurumi always in spirit version as for Natsumi ... Maybe they will face a common front against the threat of the DEM?

The difference in the animation quality is noticable. I'm starting to think the first episode was actually outsourced which isn't a good sign, but they still care enough to give the series a much deserved animation quality such as this one. I can say I enjoyed it.

Natsumi is causing truble, she's actually a threat now. I wish she'd just be the big tiddie onee-chan figure that she is.

Good episode and the animation improved. Gotta say that still like Date a live. Like the OP and some spoilers about new girls.
Interested is there any particular reason for Shido, Kotori and Fraxinus stuff not talking about what's happening like dates, Natsumi's situation, mb it could be applied even in 2nd season, but thought it is kinda strange. Some of the girls are smart in a way that they could actually help in the situation somehow. Don't remember missing something about it and don't think the clear answer is Happiness meter of Spirit.

This episode was outsourced


Yeah, I know now. Might as well keep outsourcing it then since JC doesn't seem to care much for DAL when they've got OPM and other series ahead. In the first place, JC should have never been in charge.

Apprently JC has started making the 2nd half might have to check again later.

Studio Engi helped out with this episode animation wise and JC did few things like back grounds and composting . A Chinese studio also helped out apprently and more stuidos are most likely going to be helping out as well as it's the only way it seems

What about episode 1? Was that episode animated by JC only or was it outsourced too? I already know about Studio Engi helping out, in fact I like their style much better.

Thank god they improve the animation even though i prefer season 1 and 2 animation. And i love Rinne appeared both in the opening and ending of the anime! But it only make it more sad though

And how could they skip Shidou and Tonomachi bromance moment!

This is actually shaping up to me an interesting arc, looking forward to the next episode!

At least they are super self-aware, they didn't even waste 1 second and skipped Tonomachi's "date". That made me laugh harder than it should. Wonder if this was actually expanded on in the source.

Yoshino's scene was better than I expected.

That was so cute alright!
I think they are doing a decent job adapting this, it was extremely fun watching this as LN reader, Yuzuru at the end...

That OP, I very much enjoy those final 10 seconds, Origami arc, YESS...
Natsumi in her second arc, I m hyped for that too, cuteness meltdown for sure~~
The ED will clearly have new small changes with the reveals, that is an easy one to see.

Ep3 should be pretty tense, looking forward for that ending. xD

Just noticed they use another arrangement of one of Yoshino's themes from season 1 for her 'date' with Shido. ^^


Yuzuru art comparison:



^Main problem here seems to be the lack of detail on the hair in front of Yusuru's shoulders...
^Problem fixed, but now there's more detail than needed on her fringe.

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.


I feel like if Natsumi were impersonating Yuzuru, Kaguya would know immediately.

Fixed version, Yuzuru got one extra shade in the eyes. The necklace from Movie is also more detailed, nicer hair too.
The osts are really nice like previous seasons.
No idea what's happening in London pre-OP, don't recall anything lol.
Very cool twist on those dates with spot the fake. Doubting while on dates is awkward, but Shido the detective ties an interesting plot thread to make the dates not as random pieces.
Kinda pointless to impersonate the side characters. Tohka & Yoshino seem real but both had out of character parts. It's hard to fake either of the twins since the other would notice. Origami's pretty careful insane stalker so that'd be hard to fake.

Better than the last episode in terms of the story but the animation is still bit wacky and behaves differently. For this reason it's really hard to tell who is fake where there is this inconsistency with previous seasons.

So the person who was impersonated disappears or does she only pretends to be on of them constanty, disappearing other? I'm kinda baffled which is it. Anyway, it was only logical to erase one of the sisters as they were probably the only ones who would be able to tell if the other one is fake. Also, there was a big spoiler about who will disappear in the future with all those photos going black and white, right? The best guess is Kotori anyway so I wonder how this turns out.

Anyway, Yuzuru the best girl this time around. But you could also tell her dere behavior was raised flag.

Aw yeah, some good OP this season! Definitely higher visual quality, I think S3 got more budget poured into. Anyways, that last part of the OP when Shido is holding all of the spirits' hands... Then Origami shows up, which made me think that she may be a spirit. is the show foreshadowing that??? ED is good and once again, higher visual quality.

Shido saying that Natsumi is a form of greeting is cringy tbh.

Lol, Shido went on a date with all these girls, but when it comes to Tonomachi's turn, the 'date' is never shown. Sorry for whoever Yaoi/BL whom ships them both.

Welp, Yuzuru got sucked by the broom like a vacuum cleaner.

Restaurant even ran out of food, lol.. ;p
Well.. Yoshino already kinda has two personality.. With Yoshinon.. So.. It's hard with her already, and she's kinda an unsolved mystery already..
Hm.. Yuzuru is an intellectual one.. I like how she says how she'd react in any case, choosing her or Kaguya..
By the way.. Maybe Natsumi will not make herself anyone, and it'd be a conclusion?.. Would be an interesting twist..
Hm.. Did Natsumi really imitate Yuzuru?.. I'm not so sure.. She seemed a bit more emotional than usual, but I'd say she was pretty like usual.. I won't make a conclusion for now that she was a fake one.. Hm.. And seeing as she disappeared, I'd say that probably it still was the real one on date with Shido.. Though, not sure..

Challenge accepted. The dates were nice, especially Yoshino's and Yuzuru's. But, damn, one of them already disappeared.

This is probably Shido's biggest challenge so far.

So I thought the one who was impersonated by her gets spirited away, but that did not seem to be the case with Yuzuru? Not like it really matters, it's pretty much safe at this point that Natsumi will join the harem after this arc. So whoever gets taken away, will return safely anyway.

Dat trick or treat.
Dat lick.


Glad to know the staff were trolling in the 1st episode. The quality has improved and this is close to the DAL I know. The OP is good, but it just doesn't hit like the 1st and 2nd OP which are iconic. Let me reword that. The starting instrumental with the narration then transitioning to the actual song is what made the 1st and 2nd OP so iconic. New ED song is good. I knew Yuzuru would be the one to disappear when she did that confession. Also, they hid Kotori pantsu again. They made her close her legs when she sat down. WTF is going on here? DAL is suppose to show pantsu.
If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have).

That date with Yuzuru was + OST was good. For me, I prefer Yuzuru over Kaguya. I like her robotic personality.
