| Well the beginning made it obvious that Isaac Wescott got DEM well under control. Wonder if Rinne will also get some screentime since she appears in the opening. I like the ending, lots of Origami and young Origami looking forward to her arc, but before that i hope she gets a proper date in this arc Yoshino looked cute in her Witch costume; she got Shido for a second also Good Job! way to go Yoshino ;)  Clear winner was Yuzuru though, this episode made it clear that much more Yuzuru is needed, poor Kaguya worrying about her sister |

| just because I’ve gotten weaker, doesn’t mean that you got stronger, does it? |
| Wow, great op, probably my favorite of this season and freaking good episode |
| The opening I felt was kinda soft song wise. Could be because I haven't watched DaL since the Mayuri Judgment movie. The Ending was alright though. The first 2 dates reminded me of what the characters were like and I guess while it was cute to watch them interact with Shidou. I felt a bit bored. The 4th date with Yuzuru was pretty good though. I enjoyed it. I also legitimately thought she was Natsumi. The beginning and ending of this episode have convinced me to continue watching it. I hope I'll be ablo to enjoy more of it as the season goes on. |
| Wescott up to no good as usual, him and Mira might be even more dangerous this season. Tohka would give any Saiyan a run for their money when ti comes to food. Well that was rather cute between Shido & Yoshino, trick or treat indeed, the witch's hat got me for a moment. If Natsumi was Yuzu she did a great impersonation, either that or she is just going to make someone disappear each day regardless. Brother sister date next time, will be fun to watch. |

| That's what I'm talking about! Dates and animation. It's all it needs. |
| THERE WE GO, The art/animation is back to what it's supposed to look like. Was extremely worried it was gonna look like episode 1 for the rest of the anime Also seeing Angry Tohka was adorable <3 |
 |
| Ayy the animation is decent now. Lol that moment he had to "date" his male classmate... XD |
| So the dates begin.. Still slightly disappointed about the art, however this seems to be an improvement from Ep 1. Which I am very glad with. The OP is as what you expect, with the same Artist that made the OP! Touka and her appetite still amazes me sometimes. The hat Yoshino was wearing put me so off thinking it was Natsumi, honestly thought "so much for the disquise" XD So Yuzuru ended up taken by Natsumi :( She's been talking like this ever since she got introduced in S2, however I can see why it can get annoying, but personally not bothered by it. |
 |
So glad to see the art improve this episode. Sweet Arms delivers another awesome opening as usual. The ending was alright, but definitely my least favorite of the series thus far. Overall, it gets a thumbs up from me. |
| did anyone else notice the skyrocket in art quality???? O___O |
 |
| Welp, hope Yuzuru is safe, she got some well deserved alone time with Shido, they barely interacted even during her own and Kaguya's arc... I rewatched the scene in episode 1 where Natsumi gets mad but I still don't get what she got mad about (apart from some kind of energy shield breaking on her...). She behaved way too differently after that, maybe it's a case of double personality or something... |
EcchiGodMamsterP said: did anyone else notice the skyrocket in art quality???? O___O Yes, all of us did, its like 2 different studio's. Ep2's art is so dang beautiful. |
  |
| Yoshino so cute :) |
| Yoshino is so fucking kawaii!! ^-^ And Yuzuru/Tohka had their sweet moments as well :D. But i'm just here waiting for my bae Kurumi to appear probably during the second half of the series. Gotta be patient! Pretty good episode, must be hard for Shido to go out on all of those dates with second thoughts.. Really wanna see how he's going to fix this mess! PS: The art style and animation both improved like, A LOT, couldn't be happier with the result, hope the great quality continues through the rest of the show! |
 |
EcchiGodMamsterP said: did anyone else notice the skyrocket in art quality???? O___O Yeah, the art improved in the ep 2. It's a lot better compared to the PV and ep 1. |
 |
| suddenly, good animation! They didn't show the date with the dude, booo hahaha |
| This is not your planet to rule. The Fallen shall rise again. |
| Seems like the overall art quality actually improved a lot this episode, and its not just me getting used to it. Yay! ^^ I'm reminded at this point that animating anime is supposedly an abysmally-paid job. =[ LukesYGO_WSonYT said: Empty plates piled that high; sure looks like a Saiyan's restaurant table. o.o"Wescott up to no good as usual, him and Mira might be even more dangerous this season. Tohka would give any Saiyan a run for their money when ti comes to food. -snip- That opening scene... wait, what anime am I watching again? DAL doesn't do dismemberments, right!? Even Kurumi tended to just leave pools of blood. I'm a little confused by Ellen... In season 2, she alternated between being woefully clumsy, and being the most dangerous DEM wizard. _MushiRock11_ said: It's probably nothing compared to the 3 concurrent dates in season 1... xD4 dates a in a day, boy that must’ve been exhausting lol. -snip- Anyway, the soundtracks for the episode, especially during the Yuzuru scene, were glorious and that’s great to have! Was a little odd to hear a song I associated with Kotori from the movie, play in a scene with Shido and Yuzuru, but I suppose it fits fine. I'll guess Natsumi intends to kidnap one person per day until Shido picks her out. The idea of trying to pick out an imposter from one of these characters that we're supposed to know fairly well is interesting. (Regrettably, I think I read a spoiler for this arc somewhere. >.<) Wonder if there's any point in Shido asking the girls recent history questions, because then it'd be too easy to blow Natsumi's cover. O.o? |
| Let the game of cat and mouse began. Can't wait for shirou to go through hell lol. Also, whenever I see Reine my heart it hurts. |

O.o? Just remember this and I think u will guess who Natsumi is I think it's Shido who said it or someone other can't remember right now. |
| testing how much Shido really knows his girls, which girl is real, and how much the girls love him, so fun !!! WHAT WONDERFUL DATES !!!!! Can't wait for the next episode :DDD |

MarvelousSekai said: Basically they left a small tip as to who Natsumi really is but I guess noone noticed it. |
| A significant improvement with the animation quality in this week's episode. Kinda happy with that and hope it won't degrade again, but instead improve further. Yoshino was extra-adorable in this episode with that Halloween costume. Kinda disappointed that they just skipped Shido's date with Hiroto like that. XD That's a "must-see" date considering what Natsumi did to him when she disguised as Shido. I wonder if the same thing happened in the LN though. Yuzuru disappeared. That's one down but I think in the end frames they showed 8 of the 12 pictures in grayscale which means that only Kotori, Origami, Kaguya, and Miku are left. Looking forward to see how Shido will resolve this issue. |

Loathsome said: i want kurumi i only watch it for her She has a big role in 10-11 volumes, aka 7-12 for S3 most probably. |
 |
| I thought Rinne Sonogami (pink haired girl in opening) is game only chracter. Is she in the novel too? |
ILoveTohka said: Next friday. All of the episodes come out at Fridays.When is episode 3 coming out? |
|
| Ok so , Yuzuru is the 1st victim of Natsumi, so what if Natsumi isn't disgusting as one of those in the picture rather she is just above the sky watching??? |
| This ep was a ton of fun, Yuzuru date was awsome >///< Glad2C that the animation is kinda better than last time... May god will curse those lazy J.C animators >.< |
 |
| Episode style "dates to live", events and kawaii scenes ... But with the new opening and ending we can see Kurumi always in spirit version as for Natsumi ... Maybe they will face a common front against the threat of the DEM? |
| Feel pain, think about pain, accept pain, know pain... Shinra Tensei! |
| Well good episiode and now. Time for more dates |

on 
| well yuzuru disappeared after the apparent confession...hmmm |
 |
| Natsumi is causing truble, she's actually a threat now. I wish she'd just be the big tiddie onee-chan figure that she is. |

| Good episode and the animation improved. Gotta say that still like Date a live. Like the OP and some spoilers about new girls. Interested is there any particular reason for Shido, Kotori and Fraxinus stuff not talking about what's happening like dates, Natsumi's situation, mb it could be applied even in 2nd season, but thought it is kinda strange. Some of the girls are smart in a way that they could actually help in the situation somehow. Don't remember missing something about it and don't think the clear answer is Happiness meter of Spirit. |
 |
| Thank god they improve the animation even though i prefer season 1 and 2 animation. And i love Rinne appeared both in the opening and ending of the anime! But it only make it more sad though And how could they skip Shidou and Tonomachi bromance moment! |
