@Icebreaker93 jc staff didn't even animate fight scenes u high. The tohka and origami fight had so many still shots and them dragging the characters across the screen.

the heavy fighting continue. Ellen is kept busy by Elliot - which leaves Artemisia to be ganged up on by Origami, Muku, and the AST squad. Even with the disadvantage, Artemisia was still able to wound Origami. I was surprised they showed blood.

another surprising thing is.. the spirits are very good team players. The supports staying behind giving buffs, while the fighters go to the front lines. Did they practice doing this? xD

looking forward to next week!

@Ronninn found the isekai fan judging by ur own watch list. Otherwise it takes someone with color deficiency to say season 4 and 3 look the same. Plus season 4 largely fixed the poor visuals found on the blu ray

The animation for the battle.... was so bad.....
But I'm going to overlook that because... this motherfucker was fighting with KISSES.

Is this episode an ad for an upcoming Date a Live game? Considering it was 80% CG lmao.
@Ronninn Honestly after season 3 I don't think people really watch date a live for it's animation lol.If the animation got really good it's a plus.

With the battle between Ratatoskr and DEM in full swing, the stakes are higher than ever and I have to say, I'm impressed at how the episode gave almost every major character their moment of glory.

@unmei_no_hito_02 how tf. Cgi is real smooth and models well designed. They did cheap out on frames. It is already way smoother than overlord and no way comparable to berserk or ex arm.
@SpiderMiles3523 everyone in MAL is blind. no matter how smooth and good CGI anime produce they will always complain. just ignore them

a little too much CGI... some parts are ok but many scenes where that was really "special" because too much visible. Hope it was just for this episode

@einstorage6691 I have no idea can complain about dal's cgi when we got this cgi. https://animegalaxyofficial.com/misfit-of-demon-king-academys-ugly-cgi/
Cgi literally makes an anime cost double

And in today's news, mass kissing reported death of hundreds of spirts. So please make sure not to get kissed.. for your own benefit xD

CGI was just bad, but I mean we're used to that. Most importantly, finally we would get the backstory of the spirit who kind of ruined the moment between Kurumi and Shido.

Omg, it's hilarious how Shido is beating all those Nibelcole girls with kisses, and even calling them kittens? lololol. And then his kisses are basically bullets too lmao, I can't.

And damn, tf came outta Kurumi oof.

Never ending plan to watch list...

Origami, Mana, Mukurou, and Yoshinou faced off against Artemisia, but she proved to be a formidable opponent against them all. The situation escalated when Nia informed them that Elen was heading their way for support, but Elen was intercepted by a rejuvenated Elliot. Meanwhile, some of the Nibelcol confronted Ratatoskr's Wizards, only to be rescued by Tohka and the Yamai siblings... with their sights set on Shidou

So Shido has evolved!! Also, while the CGI is better than previous season, it was kinda off a bit in this episode.

The CG is definitely better than last season and ok overall, but some of the scenes are just painful to look at.
Yeah the CGI fighting does not look great but after watching season 4, I think I am used to it by now. The way Mio comes out of Kurumi reminds me of The Ring where Sadako comes out of the TV...

Bring on the continuation of the all-out war

I appreciate seeing Origami in the white armor flying around. Always believed in Origami being a top tier girl alongside Kurumi, so I appreciate the moments she gets.

Half of me thinks Karen's joke wasn't a joke.. yeah.

The golden armor is unreal. Elliot has the battle drip, at least he has style for him.

..This dude Shido outright walks onto a battlefield, looks Nibeel in the eye, and says he loves her XD the game is real. And he had the smooch in. Normally the insane way of fighting, but he actually goes around kissing all of em XD

Kisses are OP. Shido maxed out the playboy strat. But hey kiss Kurumi while you're at it. Every Kurumi death is painful.. I could feel it.

THAT ENDING. WHAT.

Shido kissing them one by one and even distance kissing them to make them disappear was pretty fun ahah, the battle is going well until that Kurumi part which was good but after the clone sacrifice now they let us with a cliffhanger...

Again, we see Kurumi come to save Shido as he's in a pinch battling Wescott's Nibelcoles - which seem vulnerable to Shido blowing kisses at them due to their connection to Nia's affection levels for Shido. Just as Shido reaches out for Kurumi's hand and Kurumi is about to grab onto Shido's we see Mio's resurrection a la last season where Kurumi had trapped Mio in her shadows. Little did she know that Mio is not so easy to defeat or get rid of.

Some cliffhanger there. Kurumi is the one thing that makes this show above average. I love her mysterious, gothic sexiness. Great voice too

Battle of the ugly 3D models... add some Shidou cringe to that and it's easily one of the worst DAL episodes so far.

Holy shit the animations suck in this season. It's like I'm watching Berserk 2016 allover again.
Also STFU with Shido san already. Like seriously it's not even annoying anymore, it's plain disgusting.
