| 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. |
MayuAsagiri said: This entire anime was rushed almost with the speed that makes you wonder if the animators needed to catch the train or something.Feel so rushed..not really enjoyable but okay. and what happen with kurumi anyway ==" Shame really they missed out on some good jokes from the novels not to mention that this could have been much better. About this episode Shidou hurt Tohka's feelings ones again not to mention that he didn't understand Tobiichi's intentions at all. He also forgot the most importuned thing when going on a hospital visit flowers or a fruit basket vitals especially when visiting a girl!! |

GuiltyKing said: Yes, I am true to the hormone inside me and happily admit that lust drives my artistic sense which in turn helps me decide which harem or ecchi show I want to stick with LOL X-D Lusty old man you. :P To be more precise, this is the scene from the LN of Origami's body temperature measurement that is cut out in the anime: GuiltyKing said: It definitely gets me very interested in the novels, and this is one work that I love every single heroine so far from Origami (you can tell I place her as no.1 which I know is the less common choice for many) down to Mana and "maji hiku waa" trio. The character design and the seiyuu acting are really good, which would help the reading experience a lot when I get to read the novels. That way people would get interested in the show and purchase the novels to learn more about their favourite chars. I like the show for what it is and it a. made me fall in love with Kurumi and b. awakened my interest for the novels which I might end up reading. GuiltyKing said: From what we see in the trailer and the set up for Kotori's crisis (both her body and her relationship with Origami) I think it would be a good while before we see Kurumi again. With only 2 episodes left, perhaps we won't see her in this season any more..Speaking of which; this episode had too much Kotori and too little Kurumi. |

Shame really they missed out on some good jokes from the novels not to mention that this could have been much better. As i expressed before i really think this anime is a shame how it turned out in comparison with the novels. But maybe we should be happy that that we got a anime in the first place. |
| Nice battle with Kotori vs Kurumi. Shidou remembers Kotori when she became a Spirit. Dat Emotional scene Lol @ Origami and Shidou. Poor Tohka Shidou will date Kotori in order to save her Hope Shidou saves Kurumi too |
| Nice episode :) Origami makes a late-game play to get people to notice she's damn hot as well, without being a super-powered Spirit. But she can't really compete with dat imouto. Also, it seems like Kotori's breasts get bigger when she goes all Efreet and busts out the flames (literally, heehee). Now it's looking like the final date will be with his little sister ... sure, why not, incest is about the only thing this anime was missing :P Still probably my favorite anime of this season. |
| Oh God. These revelations. Although I really wanna know more why Mana is separated from Shidou. The next two episodes seems that it wont bring a proper "closure" for the series anime-wise. |

| We currently have four spirits in the anime, but two more in the LN. Two first one are twins while the other is an idol who is a lesbian and man hater. I think next episode will focus on the swimsuit battle, and the final episode focus on the last two chapters of volume 4. |

| boom head shot, kurumi is perfect |
| 3/5 Too short combat, but the worst thing is to throw in the middle ecchi so without creating the right atmosphere. The design is cute and well done and a shame to ruin it for a aserie similar, the same are also the clothes worn by the protagonists, I hope that the series has a final right and not stupid! |
 |
| Oragami saved this episode for me. Shidou was kinda annoying this episode. The next episode looks like it will be good so I hope I'm not disappointed. Seems Kotori killed some people in the fire after all. 3.5/5 A little disappointing but far from bad. |
| If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime? |
| Okay, im so going for kotori first already |

miguemely said: If this anime was getting a second season we would still be in Yoshino arc and they wouldn't have had the need to rush so badly.So where do I begin? Crazy battles everywhere. Shido's 'sister' is a spirit, events 5 years ago, lots of stuff, Origami taking her time(lol), and theres only 2 episodes left. Summary: It needs a 2nd season, it NEEDS it, or a movie, either or. It all depends on sales and viewers. Though, WHAT THOUGH, ITS A REQUIREMENT! Thats all. Normally in a twelve episode anime they trey to cover two maybe three volumes this is trying cover six or seven volumes in those same twelve episodes which really goes at cost of many good scenes in the novel not to mention quality in the anime. Shamefully it's not the only anime based on a light novel that they try to rush this season a other good example which suffered majorly from rushing to much is Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai which also scores very low in my opinion. They just leave to many question marks since to many scenes are left out and to little proper explanation which leaves fans disappointed. Light novel fans get annoyed because scenes are left out anime fans get annoyed because they don't understand why certain actions are taken. |

| Gawd, if not Origami i would enjoy this series 2x more. UtsukushiiYume said: Amen!If it just wasn't for Origami being annoying, maybe this series would be slightly more enjoyable. |
 |
| My little sister can't be a spirit! Kotori and Origami are my two favorite characters so far, both tied. Normally the imouto always wins, but Origami has been proving time and time again she's worth favoriting. She sure knows how to squeeze out time. Episode preview... I see swimsuits. That's what I love about Date A Live: interesting story and great fanservice. I can't wait to see the Kotori date. |
 |
| I can't help but visually (in my head) see all the scenes they cut out in the TV version like the scene with Origami sniffing and licking Shidou when he was carrying her. Next episode. Swimsuits. Fuck yes. Not expecting any Kurumi though, which is a bit sad but if she does make an appearance, all the better. |
| Dang dem Origami scenes were awesome. Next ep looks pretty delicious. Bummed there's only two eps left though :( |
 |
| finger licking good! other than that, episode felt off. but still the character designs are a 10/10. holy fuark. |
    |
| Kotori has officially become my favourite character in this show. Her fight with Kurumi was great but seeing her killer red eyes when she was about to kill Kurumi was crazy, loved it. So Kotori was a human to begin but eventually became a Spirit. I'm really curious as to what exactly happened 5 years ago. Kotori only has 2 days left until she becomes a completely different person. Origami was hilarious this episode. She was a lot more bold and kept sexually teasing Shidou. xD Holy shit, so Kotori or should I say Efreet was the one that killed Origami's parents 5 years ago. Shit just got real. Go on a date with Kotori and save her, Shidou! :D |
 |
| hehe kotori is so cool I like when she using that fire axe XD btw I like this episode origami fan service is really satisfing :p hmm so she want revenge for her parents to kotori.. hmm its gonna be hard.. btw kotori has a good nickname as a spirit.. Ifrit.. yey yeah! :D |
| Welp, I somehow managed to sit through the latest 23 minutes of crap. Thank god I only have to do this 2 more times. Yoshino is now officially my favourite character of this abomination, and only because I like her seiyuu. |
| Go ***k yourself. Polite as usual, lightXTC |

| I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl |
| I hope the rushing of content was more of a "testing the waters" sort of move, to see if fans were going to get into the series and not an attempt to end the entire thing in season 1. This could easily be a multi-season anime and I think it deserves it thus far. Today was another great episode, I was pacing the house waiting for the episode to get posted so I could watch it and I was not disappointed. This episode left me waiting to again to see what happens next! |
 |
| I'm glad that Kurumi manage to escape and I hope she will be back soon |
 |
| Final boss is Kotori woo! |
 |
| lol origami. finger-lick ftw xD |
 |
| dayum origami .. No Kurumi next episode :( |
Duoprism said: What. Do you mean, we get to see how he insert the Medical thermometer intro origami?There seems to have been some sort of censorship going on in this episode; not sure if people noticed... In any case, the BR releases should have additional content; and there was already a fair bit of extra detail, and "detail" put in the first episode. |
| Epic episode!!! Kotori was so cool in various scenes and she resembles Black Rock Shooter with her cannon. A very nice design for her spirit form and more details are revealed including Shido's resurrection ability from Kotori's powers from 5 years ago. I've heard that the LN have more information on this but it seems like Kotori, Mana and Shido had their memories erased by a certain someone so it will be interesting to see who did this in the future. Kurumi was owned by Kotori and those eyes that she had were fiery and scary. I wonder if we will see Kurumi again and I hope we do and perhaps she will come back as a better person to Shido. I enjoyed the scene with Tobiichi taking full advantage of Shido while alone and the sucking his finger scene with the apple was so funny. Glad to see Kotori getting more attention than just commanding from behind the scenes. Looking forward to the date that she will have with Shido as she doesn't have much time to withstand her spiritual energy and it seems like it will take place in the swimming pool so will be interesting to see in the next episode!! 5/5 5/5 |
  |
| epic episode ^^ dat fight between Kurumi and Kotori. |
| Great episode, the first few mins were just awesome. I guess pretty much every fight scene involving Kurumi is xD. As much as I love Kurumi I didn't mind seeing her lose. Kurumi really needed an ass kicking. She had to be put down. She better make her return one day though. So by the looks of it Kotori is the strongest spirit. This arc is turning out pretty good, Kotori is a pretty interesting character. Origami was cute this episode too. 5/5 |

| What an incoherent mess this episode was. And alas, the show has pretty much become one as well. It feels like they're just making this up as they go along and are now just flailing about. And while it might be because of the pacing, most of the characters are really shallow, e.g. Tohka adores Shidou and she's always hungry. That really isn't a character. It's too bad because she's on the verge of being very likeable. The only character who has held any real interest for me is Origami. Now they've introduced an unpleasant conflict for her. Sigh. |
| The fanservice kinda ruined the serious atmosphere imho.. |
| Keep moving forward |
| not fair i want a hug too!! |

Sigh. ^I pretty much agree. There is a point where Shidou is so perfect a character that his actions are very unthoughtful and I dislike such perfect characters. |
 |
| Another great episode! It's buuilding up towards a great finale hopefully. I agree that the pace is kinda too fast though... And it's stupid that they wasted an episode on a filler. I think the main problem is that they introduced way to many characters for 12 episode anime so there is basically no time to give the characters any kind of personality. |
 |
| Wicked ep! Kotori is such a boss! lawl at shido getting in in the guts, ouch. Origami... Your chance girl! She made the most out of it xD having shido spoil her all day. Also! Red Rock Shooter! even her cannon looks like brs's rock cannon. |
| The Art of Shipping is no mere game. It can be small skirmishes to huge nation size wars. Of course some will claim their ship is the BATTLESHIP but they all do. This is why battles occur because of factions fighting each other to justify their favourite ship. And thus SHIP to SHIP combat occurs almost anytime even now. Beware, Threading into the Shipping battlefield will be bloody.... What are you waiting for? |
