I only expected Origami to be suspended but it seems that few scenes are added in this episode not found in the novel. It was ok but I'm kind of disappointed with the art.

i was kinda dissapointed that they decided to make episode 1 a original instead of a plot starter, especially since there are only 10 episodes

Overall a pretty fun episode. Tokha should definitely watch less dramas lmao.
Kurumi's appearance was easily this episode's highlight. Really liked the darker atmosphere towards the end. Excited to see where this is going.

Cannot wait for the twins next week. Hopefully they'll be as awesome as the look.

Wow! This episode was a terrible piece of work.

Even Kurumi, Yoshino, and Ellen didn't save that fact...

Man, I'm so glad I watched this anime. To me, the animation looks better than the last season and Tohka, Yoshino, and the rest of the female characters look so cute.Too bad it only has 10 episodes.

I never thought that the first episode of the second season would be that good. It's a lot better than the most episodes of the first season.
Tohka's thought which was inspired by the soap opera she watched, was just hilarious.

I like the music in this episode, but I think that Shidou often had a strange appearance which isn't looking good as in the first season. I hope this to be better and I hope that the other episodes will be at least as good as this one.

This was an all right episode. Nothing too special, but a decent episode to start of the series.

Tohka is cute as fuck, she was great. Origami was just... Origami.

Can't wait for episode 2.

Good lord, this anime is most definitely back with a bang. Season 2 is here, and Tobiichi was quick to give us some fanservice <3

This episode made me realize how cute Tohka is, what the heck? How did I not notice this before? Especially the part where she was pouting, and her reaction to the bread.

Kurumi appearance already=win first episode of Date A Live

It's funny how Date A Live started by having bad-ass Valkyries for heroines and then proceeded to reduce them into stupid brain-dead penis munching zombies.

Such is the life of the harem anime.

I am glad they worked more on the characters' appearances, but I think they ruined Kurumi's look.

It's more like a recap episode, much of the scenes did not appear in the LN, especially Kurumi, who was set to appear only 2 or 3 volumes later.

A decent start. Will look forward to it next week~!

The Kurumi scene was supposed to happen. It was pretty much the only canon scene this episode. It was supposed to happen at the end of volume 4 though.

That was a lot funnier than I was expecting. Tohka shouldn't be allowed to watch soap operas. Also didn't think I'd see Kurumi so soon.

Whew, that's some concentration in one episode ewe

Well good episode imo, Tohka fun as usual (why people are hating on her why)
Thank god they skipped all the "Hey mah name is Westcott how about saving you girl" because I found it unnecessary long in the novel.
Please, Yoshino, when Tohka goes haywired, turn this damn TV off please. xD

And it's me or Shido is our typical harem dumb guy that can't see his girls' feelings ?
I mean yeah everytime Tohka gets on her nerves it's "Shido dislikes me" or "Shido prefers Origami" and I'm like "Hey Shido she loves you how about you act someday"

Kurumi's voice is like a lullaby to me. And plus she makes clones by shooting herself. Because inversed logic y'know.

When I read the novel, the description of the Yamai sisters suits made me "wtf is it really supposed to look like" and now I just see that they are just masochistic lolis. Well. *brb*

And the bread scene. "How did you get these ?" "Oh, Ratatoskr y'know"

And dat kiss scene. I thought it would only be like holding hands and stuff but a kiss suddenly, well it catched me by surprise xD
Soz for my f*cked up english, it's not my first language. xD

I personally love Tohka.

I understand why she gets all worked up like that and acts silly, don't forget that Shidou was the first human to accept her as she was. Before him, she'd only been attacked and rejected so I can understand why the thought of losing Shidou hurts / upsets her so much. The kiss at the end was nice though, any kiss she shares with him would be special to her.

All in all despite a few hiccups I thought it was a good episode, really looking forward to the next ep though.

Having somehow watched the whole first season, I decided to watch its second season and oh god... MY BAD! I totally forgot about the random crap that goes along with the show: Getting bread, getting the wrong idea, and then getting almost killed by a girl in your harem but then was saved by a kiss. To sum up the first episode: Bipolar girls (Tohka) almost killing their beloved because of monster periods. Now that I have typed this much which isn't much, I remembered why I decided to watch the second season. KURUMI. That is probably the only reason (excluding the bewbs) why I am watching this bipolar bread harem and probably is my excuse to continue watching this show. Nonetheless, every show has potential so I will have to watch the next episode.

3/5

Irritating this first episode!
OK, we know the plot, but you make less banal narration and not so poor design and animations.
Luckily the next installment, we change the registry.
I hope that this second season, put more contnuti addition to the peculiarities we already know.
For now, my final grade is 6/10!
