| Date A Live is like my childhood anime back then. Seeing it now feels nostalgic. Even though the art style changed, I think it was for the better. Good job Geek Toys for adapting it beautifully. Remembering things in DAL:SP it is quite impressive. Glad to see inverse tohka in the opening. Ending song sounds good af |

Syureria said: At first I felt weird about that appearance but yeah, it turned into a pretty girl. That's Nia Honjou, the first time I saw it made my heart flutter, my favorite LN being anime. An angel who sees everything in the world. Everything written in Ragel is true. And yeah really like next Saturday because it was Akihabara's date, lol. Kotori was still watching as usual. Look at shidou face, lol... I think he's used to dating because he's been on dates with a lot of girls.  Nia is quite entertaining, her Sephira when I read the LN is nuts as F! |
| What a boring episode the new girl has the personality of a change of paint. |
 |
| And here I was going to say "Somebody wake'me up when best girl and waifu Kurumi appears" and just like that BOOM the first spirit to pop up! Off to a good start, let's keep it up, Kurumi is really the only thing keeping me watching this tbh. |
| "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |
| Date A Live IV has completely improved the franchise by storm. Earning the franchise's first 8 (well deserved and hopefully staying) on MAL which already has put it on par with some of the best the harem genre has to offer. I also enjoy how peaceful and small the fanbase is, and how Tsunako's awesome designs lead to amazing figures. LN readers will know, based on what just covered it is uphill from here onto DAL V and DAL VI. After the first episode premiere, a lot of Japanese are now talking about DAL. |
| That ending I can only love 2D this episode jumpstarted my brain so as I was watching I started to remember everything from the previous seasons because it’s been a while |
 |
| i really wish, GEEK TOYS gonna re-adapt S3 last Episode, since J.C STAFF fucked up this episode by adapting 1 volume into one episode, since many important things happen in volume 12. oh yeah btw, it's kinda weird Date a Live get a high score in this platform, since the highest one was Kurumi Encore OVA haha, but it's nice tho. last was the OP was good af, didn't expect Mio was made a cameo in the op too. |

Hope the score stays that way, since this franchise always suffered in the 7's like Danmachi, SAO, Toaru, DXD. Animation and production values are a huge point along with series impact and popularity. Unless shonen fans mass review bomb every show this season since I don't think they want kaguya in the 9's. We have beated Gotoubun already in the harem score and Season 5 and 6 are guaranteed to beat DAL IV in the mal scores. Saekano is all that is left for DAL to beat. |
| I really like this new visual style and I really like this new girl. High hopes for the rest of the season. |
 |
| I'm only into 2D. Love you Nia-chan! |
| Oppai check! 111 cm: Hancock 110 cm: Zoro 100 cm: Robin |
| it's really nothing out of the ordinary plot-wise, I love the animation and art though |
| My first heartbreak: They didn't redo Itsuka Disaster. But Kishibe Rohan spirit is here! Please don't destroy the storytelling and animation this time - the really good parts are coming. I like Nia's voice acting (shouneeeen) and Shido's nearly novel accurate handsome look. The overall art style feels little nerfed from S1 but who cares? Just don't skip stuff; the too much Kurumi in OP and ED worries me (LN readers know what I am talking about). |
| "All truth is meaningless. In the end, 'meaning' comes from the mind of each individual human. Even when there is a single truth, it can mean different things to different individuals. The truth has no meaning in itself!" - Erika Furudo |
| Nia Honjou The unusual spirit that won't fall for the usual date tactics of Shidou and Co...lolz 5/5. |
 |
Mana Appears! Unlike the former Season which completely abandoned her. This is already a great improvement. Hope she gets more screentime than just this little Fanservice scene in this first Episode. Finally Nia animated! and the art style looks way better than season 3 too. It's on a whole different Level and a worthy successor for S1 and S2 at least Nia seems to get what she deserves unlike Origami and Natsumi with the quality of their season. Nia a fine Addition to the Harem That Mio in the opening. |

| just because I’ve gotten weaker, doesn’t mean that you got stronger, does it? |
| Character designs seem to have dumbed down and now it kind of has that cheap color gradient but at the very least its not JC. Nia seems pretty fun so far though. Do enjoy the more playful characters. |
| They got me good for the first episode I hope the rest be the same. |
| I love the animation! Definitely the best! |
My Candies:    |
| This season is pretty enjoyable than the previous so far.. Studio changed(for better).. |
 |
| awwww shit, here we go again! |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Wooh Nia is a total clone of Fie Claussell minus the eye's color (Google is your friend) which is a good point actually. Her power is quite impressive in fact. The last sentence was funny and not that surprising XD. |
| . |
| Decent start for the season. I like the new art style. The first minute made me certain that this season will be much better than S3. Nia has an interesting power. It's good that they adapted a chapter from volume 12. |
| I LOVE THIS ANIMATION SO MUCH OMG, NIA, MUKURO, TOHKA SO PRETTY <3 |
| The fuck is with this animation? I am having Quints two flashbacks with these Nerfs...wtf. Nia kept me interested so there's that |
| Listen to my podcast https://anchor.fm/waifusandweeaboos Follow my twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/sorasensei1 Fall 2024 Waifus on Profile "You can have multiple Waifus" -me |
| Finally, I was very hyped about it(I've read all the novel but was waiting for it too). The opening is fire, expecially the visual, that first episode was chill but interesting, and the new artstyle and animations are very cool too |
| Nia is TOP TIER Waifu <3 |
| They did Nia quite well! YES! So far I am satisfied with how it turns out, let's keep with this pace I have high hope. |
 |
| Little underwhelmed by the opening scene where the Kurumi clones just float around like invincible ghosts, but it's short. Scene with Kotori and Mana has a little too much repeated motion in my opinion.  Not sure how accurate that translation is, but it sounds like it's teasing a yuri incest scene.Still, art feels improved from season 3's episode 1 at least. Not sure I'm going to really get used to the new eye art style though. |

| I've been waiting for this moment for so long ever since I watched season 1 of DateALive IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. OP and ED are and absolute BOP! AND it was so so nostalgic and sweet to see all the girls gather again together!! The appearance of Nia was unexpected but cute and ofcourse she uses liking only 2D as the reason 🤣 so far it's all just Nia so I can't wait to get more scenes with the other girls as well, especially Tooka and yoshino pls 😍 IM SO HAPPY TO SEE ALL THE GIRLS BACK AGAIN <3 |

| well...its funny at least |
