GEEKTOYS is a D-Tier studio with only three garbage shows in their portfolio. Expect the worst.

If you are talking about that two OVAs they made, it has such a high score singlehandedly because it's all about Kurumi, which is objectively the best girl in this show.
Just like Kurumi Star Festival, which actually has the highest score and was not made by GEEKTOYS.

Overall, I wouldn't say that quality of the OVA will be translated into TV series, because budget and deadlines are completely different.

Well, the animation looks very new and more advanced.
However I still will miss the old animation style.

Better than season 3? Easily yes but not hard to accomplish.

Will it be a super good looking season? Maybe. At least average.

I heavily enjoyed the char designs for Date a Bullet so I'm happy it's here in DAL 4 too.

well if you compare season 3 animation with the new season, it's definitely different, but i'm gonna say season 4 animation it's 90% similiar with the novel illustrations

Yep. Everyone who thought DAL IV will be bad is looking like a clown right now. The OP and visuals already is considered one of if not the best this seasons. Also the massive improvement in the MAL score where it is one of the top rated anime this seasons.

You do realize the first episode usually have better animation, right? Unless the production schedule is very bad (Like AoT: Final Season, OPM2, Index III and DAL III for example), there's no way in hell they would fucked up the first two to four episodes so badly since those episodes should already been finished in production by the time the anime begin. People said the same thing as yours back when Plunderer (Another anime made by the same studio) aired in 2020, and yet the anime eventually became DAL III level of bad in less than five episodes in and never manage to recover it for the next 20+ episodes. Hell, even that Taiwan Three Kingdoms anime that aired last season is only above avenge at best (It surprised me they managed to keep the art style consistently despite it's dull action sequences). Keep in mind this anime was in production around the same time as DAL IV did and both was supposed to air in the October 2021 before they delayed them.

How about we wait for a few more episodes to come out first? Or even better, wait until the anime ended before you defend the so-called "best studio in the world"?


It's still amused me that you guys keep ignoring the other four awful anime GEEKTOYS made in the past, while keep using DAB (Two freaking movies with obvious higher budgets than ordinary TV series) as a excuse to defend them. It's fine for saying they did a good job for the first episode look good since it does look good regardless how you felt about studio's previous works, but to claim everyone was wrong based sorely on one episode and goddamn movies doesn't make your points any valid at all.

They objectively should've grabbed Yaoyorozu to animate instead since they got about six considerably good-rated anime and years of experience under their belt.

DAL IV's animations are relatively trash-tier in comparison.

Perchance.

Do people even understood how animes and studios work? Plunderer was a no name series no studio would put their own resources on the line towards doing. Date A Live is fantasia bunko's most popular series and one of the only few series making kadokawa money. If Date A Live fails, Fantasia Bunko may as well file for bankruptcy. Yet people make this bizarre comparison DAL will get the short end of the corporate stick.

People seem to equate studio equals anime yet never analyze the staff. Most studios contract a lot of staff unless you do everything in house.

Dal iii is a bad conparison because jc staff was juggling way too many hit series. If people think everything geek toys will do is bad because of relatively no name series, then konosuba should be bad cuz of deen stay night, 7ds, tsukihime. Or fgo, dress up darling, bunny girl are bad cuz of cloverworks tpm 2, persona 5, tokyo 24 so Spy X will do bad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTpvC92HIvU

"No name"

"Being drawn by Suu Minazuki, who's famously known for his other manga series Sora no Otoshimono (Which is still popular in Japan even after the manga ended for 8+ years)"

"One of the most popular manga series currently serializing on Shounen Ace magazine (Owned by Kadokawa) along with the like of Keroro Gunso and Oreimo spin-off, plus F/GO and HigeHiro if we including manga adaptation, with the series almost reach 2 millions sales and also being featured on front cover of the magazine several times."

"A lot of promotion and goods being made for the anime back when it's still airing, plus the manga has also been promoted for a few times before the anime announcement"

....... Yeah, Plunderer is a no name series indeed lol. Anyway, let's just agree to disagree on this part.

I can't tell if you're exaggerating DAL's popularity or if you only includes their LN series, or if you're unfamiliar with other popular series Kadokawa owns lol.

icefirestone23 said:

And what's makes you so sure that DAL IV won't fail in term of production? Popularity doesn't mean shit if the studio doesn't care about it or if they can't pull it off for various reasons.

Again, we have way too little materials to judge DAL IV's production values at a moment, all we had so far is three anime with awful animation, one anime with mediocre quality at best, two movies with good quality (While sharing same production team with Plunderer), and one episode from currently airing anime.

Tsukihime? There's no Tsukihime anime. The differences between GEEKTOYS and those studios you mentioned is that GEEKTOYS don't have a really good record with their works. The other studios at least has more than one work to proven their credibility to make good stuffs, even if their recent works mostly has mixed receptions, while GEEKTOYS had almost nothing beside DAB to back them up. It's harder for people to trust GEEKTOYS's abilities with their low record (There's a reason why the other user called them D-tier studio, after all).

Of course I would like to be proven wrong but it's hard to tell for now so I would keep my expectations low at best.

Probably because we currently have second best girl. It's really good to be wrong sometime.
I hope it won't melt.

At this point chances of season 5 is very low bcz with every season popularity and audience will be getting low and less people go for sequals but there is a chance for season 5 bcz positive reviews , audience and good design we might see it but season 6 i m not sure

I think you are confusing this with DxD Hero where S4 saw massive declines across the board. This is a reason why DxD hasn't a single word on production for almost 5 years. Date A Live had increased merchandising after every season, and improved production values.

Same here. From what I have noticed, it will likely get a full adaptation. But I do recommend fans buying some merch or discs to help the series out.
