Pretty good episode, kurumi is as great as ever!

Kurumi, why you gotta be so awesome? We need better budget just to give better animation to the best girl!

But still the line of day goes to Maji Hikuu wa girl cuz she said it TWICE today. "Maji hikuu wa... Maji hikuu wa..." I was touched.

Finally Shido has a sword! Man, this episode was awesome.

10/10

EDIT - Now that I have read Kurumi's character bio, I love her so much that I can safely add her in my top 10 character list. She is one heck of a character.

Shame the previous episodes didn't seem to receive the same budget this one did. I guess the animators figured "Eh, Kurumi is popular, let's spend 90% of our budget on her and screw the rest".

That said, well played. The plot actually feels serious now, instead of unbalanced like previous episodes this season(which, to me, didn't really hit the balance of comedy and seriousness that the first season did). I wish they'd explained exactly why Kurumi is helping Shido now(and yes, I know it was explained in the LN); it's been established that Kurumi just wants the Spirit power Shido has sealed inside him, so why not just eat him now and screw the rest? Time travel would fix the rest, except for the fact that Shido would still be very dead...or would he? Such paradoxes...

Fight scenes were good. Nice Zerg rush diversion by Kurumi there; nothing like infinite numbers of a psychotic Spirit rushing at you to get your attention. Same with using the City of Devouring Time on low power to stop Miku's own Zerg rush as well, and rather surprising that Kurumi didn't just slaughter them all(which ties back into not explaining why the hell she's helping Shido out instead of just, y'know, stuffing her face with his powers).

Miku was her typical bitchy self this episode. Her twin plot bombs can't distract from the fact that she's an utter bitch that currently lacks any redeeming qualities. Nothing else to say about that.

If you really are curious about Kurumi's purpose in not just eating Shido right now, look at her character bio, then look at the second spoiler under Background, that more or less shows her goal during the Miku arc. Though it'll probably be revealed later in the anime, your choice.

Oh yes,Kurumi in action. More Kurumi action scene please. Kurumi taking on the entire DEM herself.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

So much Kurumi this episode. She really stole this episode. Loved the part where Shido patted her head. And damn her tongue is too damn seductive. Hopefully this isn't the end of Kurumi for this arc.

I'm guessing next episode we'll get dark Tohka and in the final episode Shido will end up sealing her and Miku as well.

Action packed episode. That's great.

Shido, don't you know you have to not remove rhe knife or it will create a bleeding?

Kurumi being such a funky girl again. Her power is so intriguing, I still can't figure it out :P

Well, I guess Shido will ''die'' in front of Tohka and she'll go berserk, hence the other look of her in the ED.

I finally started to like Kurumi.
Hope for saving Tohka.
It's already 8th episode from 10. I hope, there'll be third season.

Depend on preview, next episode is going to be something about Miku's past. I don't hate her, but actually don't like her, either. She's annoying and arrogant.

Actually, there are a lot of anime that worth sequeling and more that need anime adaption. 2 seasons of Date a Live are enough, anyone can follow the LN. Frankly, im gonna be surprised if this sells well....

Miku being a bitch as always. I loved the badass Shido part where he gets the sword and stuff :D
I hope he can use all the spirit powers, since they showed him using Kotori's healing.

Anyone can hope for new seasons on anime they like. I personally don't care if things are worth sequelling more, because I enjoy this anime and it would be awesome if it had a third season. Light Novels are less enjoyable for me because I like the animated scenes.

Animes really need to calm down with the name yelling sometimes. Near the end of the episode Shido yells out Touka three times, then like literally 10 seconds later, he yells her name three times again. Christ, we get it already, chill out with your vocal cords.

Other then that, <3 Kurumi. Fuck Miku. $5 she has a really stupid reason to hate humans too. She's probably one of the top worst characters this season for me.

Disregarding the fact that Shido yelled Tohka's name about 20 times this was a good episode. I found the part where Shido and Kotori were arguing kind of cute. It's nice to see them back to normal.

I think this is the second time Shido has managed to summon Tohka's sword. I said it before but I'll say it again, he really looks like a BA when he holds that sword. Looking forward to the finale.

OMG This episode was truly amazing.WOOOW
Kurumi helped a lot Shido,if wasn't her he would never reach where he is now.Finally Miku is starting to think with her egoistic head,and now she is realizing that all humans are different and that there is someone who would give his life to save someones life,so she will help him :D And i thought that Miku was the 1st enemy of Shido,now i see that i was wrong,his 1st enemy is DEM.That bastard is planning to take Tohka powers :(
I'm glad that Kotori is back (loved her face when she said that it was unintended that she wanted to kill him,her sad face said everything,she won't kill him even if someone say her to do that) :D And Mana is back too,finally she is fighting xD
Shido invoked again "Sandalon" and now he will save Tohka <3 But he is seriously injured :(

Cute as a whole the episode.
Start up the pathos, albeit slightly, in respect of the narrative.
Plot all in all not so cowardly, the villains are pretty grim.
Drawings and animations are still too scarce, this is the real worry of the anime series.

Oh Kurumi, you and your voice <3 Her clock thingy is really freakin' awesome!!
That Westcott dude is an ass. He is annoying =_=
Wait, so the girls still knows those stuffs even though they are being controlled by Miku?? Dafuq....
Miku hates males.....so, her past can be "that" or "that", or maybe not.....I hope not.
Sandalphon is pretty badass. Shido, you are pretty cool....but you should stop saying "Tohka" like bazillion times =_=

Not sure why but I'm not fond of this season at all !
The first 3-4 episodes were pure fanservice ones and the following ones we got this weird arc with Miku which i hate it.
Guess they just milked Date A Live with this one .. still better than nothing I guess.

I have the same feeling. Not to mention whole arc going around DEM is pretty lame. First season was definitely better even in characterization.

Mana is just being an annoying bitch.. what did Kurumi did to her to receive this kind of hate? It's seems personal. hell.. so what? she just hate spirits because it's her job to kill them? there's got to be a reason.

Shidou is being lame again with all his yelling.. "Tohka!..Tohka! TOHKA!" it's fucking annoying.

Kurumi's taking over the city. That's outstanding.

Miku has the be the most annoying character thus far and her arc isn't over yet. It went from trying to do the usual stuff with other spirits, seal their powers, and now it's saving Tohka. Here I thought she'd get 2 episode arc and leave the rest to Kurumi. Well looks like that will be on hold for now.


Well, Kurumi is by far stronger than Miku. She's all over the place lol.
