This show is amazing. I love the idea behind the show, the character designs, the comedy, the music, and the voice acting.

I do agree it was a little rushed. However, I feel the animators did their level best, considering some executive team probably wanted to adapt these 4 light novels into 12 episodes. It probably should have had 13 or 15 episodes instead. Anyway, Date A Live was very entertaining and I hope it gets a second season.

And lol about Kotori's affection levels being 100% the whole time. She is such a tsundere.

i think there is a good chance of a season two! there is plenty of plot left and it seems to get a lot of positive reviews. the only problem i see is the unsuitability of how anime get another season. lets face it some things should have never gotten another season while others somehow never got another season.

Well, the anime was superb. I can´t compare it to the LN, since I haven´t read it yet, but I enjoyed all 12 episodes, and I hope there is a second season, there wasn´t enough Kurumi in this one. Overall:

5/5 to the episode
8/10 to the anime

There better be a second season!!!

It has everything to do with sales. If an anime sells well, or gives a substantial boost to its source adaption (aka the light novel or manga) then it has a good chance of getting a second season.

I really hope Date A Live gets a second season. The light novel is selling reasonably well and apparently volume 1 of the BD/DVD is projected to sell about 5k. Those numbers are good but not great, so I hope Date A Live outperforms the projection and secures a second season for sure.

Hm, maybe I shouldn't have marathoned this in the same week I watched The World God Only Knows, the latter is a much, much better take on the harem genre.

It was surprisingly enjoyable, but half of the characters were horrible and I had the idea the author came up with the story as he went along writing new chapters instead of having some clear direction from the beginning. For example, it would have been nice if Origami mentioned any of her revenge against the Fire spirit before said Fire spirit appeared.

Not sure whether to give it a 4 or a 5.

So the last episode, it was pretty good I guess. I would have liked it to be longer instead it had a bit of a rushed feeling. This usually happens though with the adaptations. I guess as a whole Date A Live was decent. I liked most of the girls, the only one I diddnt like was Kurumi. I'm sure I'm one of the few to say this but her arc was the worst. Oragami was ok though she freaked out at the end an was tied to her hospital bed at the end lol. Tohka and Yoshino were great i just wosh they had more screen time. Kotori was my personal favorite because of her personality diffrences. If/when S2 comes out ill definitely be watching it.

Overall 7/10
It was good but it should have been longer. Even if the extra episodes were fillers I think most could have enjoyed them.

At least we can look forward to the OVA.

It was a fun series, and I'll willingly watch season 2 cause I'm interested in how Kurumi is related to Shido and Kotori's past. Along with Tohka's past before meeting Shido.

Well, it was nice episode with everything you need.

Kotori was super cute and the fight was great for this series standard.

Good thing they don't make an original ending that leave no chance for season 2.

My rating for this series stay 6/10.

He was supposed to get her in the mood and happy then kiss her to seal her powers away, so why was he going to ask her about 5 years ago randomly when he lined everything up so perfectly? If the mission were to fail, then she loses everything that represents her. He was going to gamble on that to inquire if she remembered anything about the fire/killing Origami's parents? Meh. :/

Yeah, that's really off writing. They have injected plot progression with an out-of-place humor, making Shido look lamer than he actually is.

Series is an enjoyable ride for me. I like Kortoi's route every much in the last three episodes. But then they had to kill it with Shido's "only like you as sister" line and his almost kiss with Tohka at the end >_<

Kotori is very cute and enjoyable tsundere :)

It might be likely but it sure isn't obvious. These things depend on disc sales and light novel sales.

It is not unprecedented, or unreasonable, to make hints about a new season in the last episode of an anime. However, the new season will only happen if it makes financial sense for the company backing it. That means that BD's, light novels, manga, and merchandise sales need to cover the costs of production.

That's why I'm hoping that Date A Live has solid sales. I would love a 10k average like TLRD (To Love-Ru Darkness) but that's probably a little unrealistic. Regardless, I hope sales are high enough to greenlight a season 2. I think volume 1 is predicted to sell around 5k but I hope it outperforms that estimate.

Shido: I love you, Kotori.
Kotori: *blush* I, uh...
Shido: As my little sister, that is,
Kotori: *kicks shido* Is that it!?

Sisterzoned!

I laughed so hard on that part.

I actually enjoyed this from start to end. I love the fight against Origami using Licorice. I lol at the part where Kotori and Yoshinon interfered with Shido and Tohka's scene. And finally, Kurumi appeared once again.

Well, I had fun with this series, even thought a lot of good parts from the LN were cut off.

Come on Shidou, you kiss Yoshino too! looking forward for a 2nd season!

I liked the art/animation and OP/ED theme songs, OP theme was particularly catchy. That's really the only nice things I have to say about this show.

I highly suggest to anyone who is interested in doing so that they go ahead and read YuzurihaAsuna and roriconfan's review for this anime. These guys pretty much sum up my opinion on this anime.

Final rating: 1/10.
And it seems they are mostly missing the points and ideas that are there to appeal to fans of this kind of genre. Well, nothing new regarding the usually cliched and stereotyped views by overseas watchers of this kind of anime.

And it is just weird that music and art/animation can constitute only one-tenth of the weight you rate an anime.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

I think it's because they planned for a heavy Kotori-focus ending while wanted to keep the harem feel. Thus, the half-way kiss is the reset button lol

A bit disappointed cause the anime is not what i expected from the LN. but not all imagination is the same right? so i think this series is enough. earlier i wanted to give 7/10. but WTH i love the LN and i am amazed that they worked on the anime, so 8/10. Keep going with season 2. wanted so much improvement...

Nice ending, it turns out all my doubts were wrong,, It's just somehow a bit toned down... And here i tought that They will truly kiss each other at the end... A bit dissapointed >.<

the story was nice, but it seemed a bit ahead and straightforward, it needs more atmosphere in the scene, *or that was just me being ungrateful,,* The charas are all nice,, not that any of them had any chara.development there,,

Since the story actually didn't end yet, i can't give a definite rating here, but so far, i would give over all 7/10 xD hoped there are second season with more better stuffs, this anime had nice potential to get 9/10,,
