Yes, the episode was good, but the events were a little too fast( I know that they only have 12 episodes and have to make the anime on 4 volumes, but they skipped many things).
Anyway, I'm really enjoying this anime and I'm so happy I can watch Date a Live again

3 season and 1 movie later and Origami is still best girl, poetic

Anyways I expected Natsumi's secret to be something worse than her just being a loli!

Nah, you havent seen Origami arc yet, save that statement for the last 6 episodes of S3 (it is gonna be wild).

Natsumi has an inferioty complex about her true self, to you it may not matter much, but to her, it is the greatest problem of all.[/quote]

By this do you mean that I'll change my mind or that it'll likely strengthen her position of best girl?

I mean that it will finally give many people the feels needed to start thinking her as one of the best girls.

Havent seen this episode yet, BUT shame on you for saying that, when she is a loli, her charm and cuteness multiply tenfold!
She loses that sex appeal, but I couldnt care less, she it too darn adorable, and that is all that matters, and anyone that lewds her is a creep!

Yea sure but we already have Yoshino for that. I thought it'd be nice to finally have an older spirit join in too. I'm a fan of the older oneesan type characters myself so I'm disappointed.


Nah, Yoshino is just on best, average, Natsumi is the true deal in amounts of cuteness and innocence later on, and she has some rather really adorable and heartwarming scenes, later on in the LN.

Just when you thought that the scuffle with Natsumi is over, ta-da! It's not! And then she reduced all of them to lolis and shota(s). Kurumi is still best girl though, I wonder when she'll appear.

Kurumi only appears in the second arc of the season, so probably episode 7 onwards. But good news is that we will see quite a lot of her.

Not enough of real Natsumi at the end... guess I have to hope for next episode for a full dose on that moe.

They already giving development to vol10 I see...
(it was on the LN after all too)

They surely rushed alot of the episode, on the LN there was alot of time given for guessing, and Origami showed her brains alot there...

...and I felt satisfied just seeing Origami suddenly stab the photos just in case Natsumi had transformed into a photo. o.o

I feel like Origami really doesn't get much credit for showing at least as much devotion to Shido as Tohka.

i have but one question
how does the lolify effect yoshino if she's already a loli?
how do you loli a loli ?


Trick question. You can't loli a loli.

Anyway, so far, this anime has been one of the most enjoyable of the currently airing. It's crazy to me. At least we've got some great characters and an actually interesting plot.

This episode's art was, like everyone is saying, at least better than episode 1's art, but not as good as season 1 or 2. The loli harem at the end tho.

Well, I will be a bit of a devil here, and post some teasing spoilers below, not too much, but this should spice it up further and hype her even more to you, in case you decide to read:
, what you have seen, is nothing yet.

When I got into reading DAL LNs the past year, the first volume I really loved was vol7, but vol10-11 raised the bar for the series, it still handled somethings more poorly than I would have liked BUT you will be seeing DAL S3 going to places in the final 6 episodes, and I hope JStaff doesnt butcher it too much, they didnt do that bad with the adaptation so far, aside rushing alot and some animation problems here and there (nothing surprising).

Kotori & Origami scenes, and that loli end were hilarious.
Kaguya scene was surprisingly awesome, also cat hat.
Thought Natsumi's weirdly precarious & immature, but... that explains it.
So Yoshinon's it. It's explainable but not obvious.
Interested in this London priest arc.

Angry imouto Kotori is so cute!!!

Wow, Natsumi is a sadist on top of being an Onee san. How did I not expect that?

Honestly quick thinking by Shido there! I realized it's probably an inanimate object in one of the pictures given by Natsumi. It's quite clever of Natsumi to impersonate as Yoshinon, but that's also her downfall. Because Shido guessed the right answer! Goteeeeem!

I thought Natsumi's 'secret form' is an ugly-looking-loli. But it's just Natsumi-loli. But she's just very insecure about it, aaaaand she turned everyone into a loli, including Kotori & Yoshino.

Wait, marriage proposal blank for teacher?.. Nani?! ;D
Good thing that they actually made Kaguya remember Yuzuru even during date.. She is not the type for too many feelings like that, but she still cares about Yuzuru deeply..
I don't think that Yoshino was the one.. It really looks like Natsumi is messing with Shido, and actually didn't take anyone's form.. Isn't it just better this way to make him distrust everyone?..
Origami.. Origami.. Please.. Origami.. Too good to be true.. ;D
It was Yoshinon?.. Well, I'm kinda ok with this outcome.. ;p And it actually makes sense.. Because Shido didn't name Yoshinon, but he/she disappeared along with Yoshino.. It's actually clever..
Oh.. So now we have loli harem?.. ;P

I should've figured that she was a child xD

And lol, Shido got himself a loli harem now.

Hahaha, that Yoshinon moment was pretty weird, actually, cool discovery, good work, Shido.
Has always been the case but Origami's lewdness is a lot of fun. The straw, hahaha.
But that ending, oh no.

Pacing felt super rushed. Every new scene more people had disappeared and days had passed, lol.

The reveal felt pretty silly... but I guess this arc is just low stakes.

1. I really wanted to see Origami wearing a jacket!
2. The solution to the quiz was really clever!
Not what I expected. I thought it was going to be something with a predictable plot, but it wasn't.
Very good!

lol Shido took Kotori ribbons.
lol at Kotori.
Dat punch.
Miku is next.
Dem costumes.
Dat triple date.
Shido and Tama-chan.
LMAO at the marriage registration.


They got turned into ko forms. Natsumi is a sore loser. lol I knew that wasn't her true form. I love Miku so much. She was willing to give Shido her hair clip so that he wouldn't forget her. She truly loves him. She's a keeper. I did not expect Yoshinon and it was in my face. I guess if it hadn't been 6 years since I last watch DAL, I would thought something was weird when Yoshinon caught the phone. Doesn't this confirm that Natsumi likes to be fisted?
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).

Shido should've hugged Kaguya when she was crying on his lap.
Nice date with Origami. I will caress her boobies!
That was clever. I never guessed her masquerading as Yoshinon.
Her true form is a cute loli. I wonder why she's so ashamed of that.
