| Doggy Origami is so cute XD I love this innocent Origami. Also, apparently Itsuka actually knows what old Origami likes and dislike... looks like the old Origami's efforts to get Itsuka to notice her didn't go to waste eh? LOL Too bad she cut her hair back to short ;( I liked the long hair, she was much cuter. |

| Oh no. I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THEY ARE GOING TO ADAPT VOLUME 12 IN ONE EPISODE! BAD J.C. STAFF! That aside, this episode was... well, pretty good, actually. Yeah, they ruined it so it's not as good as the light novel, but it was still an amazing experience to see Origami being so pure all of a sudden only to suddenly become her usual self every once in a while. And of course, her last line in the episode is 10/10. BUT THAT TITLE! Please, no. JUST. NO. I THOUGHT THIS SEASON WILL BE FINE! BUT NO! NO! THEY ARE GOING TO FUCKING ADAPT VOLUME 12 AS ONE EPISODE! WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA?! WHOMST'D'VE THONKETH THAT?! Press F to pay respect. |
| Origami wore the swimsuit with dog ear's and belt collar that she wore in the "Date to Date OVA". |

| Origami chapter completed Next is Shidou Disaster? |
| OMG the level of animation is just..... -_- they kinda ruin most of the expected beautiful scene in this episode. 5/10 |
| Fuck yeah. Best girl of all time and anime is back and even better. I can't put her anymore higher on my favourites list :/ I hope she won't get shafted now that her part is done. |
Congintive said: Ugh, the animation can't even complain anymore but I liked it how they didn't mess up the date with Origami I mean that was one of the best part of vol 11 of the novel but it still felt like something is missing. Yup, bad animation/drawing. It hurts to see Neptunia's creator beautiful designs sulled i this way... The Origami internal monologues are probably what you think is lacking; when she's was gonna lick the teaspoon, her mind went full absurdism about how maths and phylosophy deduces that her actions are a absolute necessity. Please oh just please for God sake just don't adapt vol 12 Itsuka Disaster in one whole episode because it's gonna be a biggest disaster of the series. They totally are going to do it, JC Staff with Index 3 and this lost all credibility. This episode could easily be splitted in 2, giving us a climatic last episode last battle to conclude this arc in a epic and emotional way. But no, f*ck that, let's cram it in one episode and then do a 1 epi=1vol as the ending of S3... It hurts, because that volume would have worked very well as a 1 hour movie, or 3 OVAs...JC Staff is not just overloaded with way more projects than their animation budget can take, but also full of imbecilles in charge of series composition. At least the OST is nice... So what are the chances that they are gonna Blue ball us and only adapt the First half or the start of the volume every LN reader is talking about That would actually be a "good" thing, as the volume is very fun, and does not deserve to the smashed in one episode, like it's totally going to happen, cuz JC Staff just went insane. I understand anime-only guys getting mad with a incomplete ending (it has been 4 YEARS since S2, and this one is probably is not going to sell very well), but the cringe of butchering one of the best volumes is not what I need as a (probably) goodbye to this franchise in animation form. |

| FGO NA Code: 482.072.599 (F2P thug life of savings...) Ben-to! best nonsensical action anime. Ever. |
| I wished Origami didn't cut her hair though. But still the animation is so noticeably shit. |
 |
| I really loved this episode. I'm glad that after all the suffering origami had to face is now over. First I didn't like this season so far, but this episode kinda saved it. |
| What a dreadful season this has been. The only things that has kept me going is the sweet presence of Waifu Kurumi and I suppose Origami. Thank goodness we're near the end |

| where is mana? i dont seeing here through this season |
| Now Loading..... |
| Yay!!! A happy Origami. |
 |
| I liked the date between Shido and Origami, up until the moment she saved the Inverse type origami. But I guess this is it for the Moe long haired Origmai :'( |

| One of the best episodes of the season, I've laughed out loud XD, but I've appreciate also the serious part. Having seen the preview I think they will adapt volume 12 in one episode, but I hope I'm wrong |
CeddyyBearr said: Glad to see I'm not the only one that noticed the cool armor. After some backtracking in previous seasons, appearently this was the first time she used the fusion ability. That was the first time she used the armour,and very nice it was too :) |

| Origami arc was probably the most substantive arc since Kotori arc. And it was completely distracted by the awful, awful drawing and animations. I'd rather have listened to the episode than watched it. |
| Not a bad way to wrap it up finally Origami arc is over or I hope so. can someone tell me how many volumes they adapted so far I wanna start reading the LN after ep 12. |
Yud_ said: There is going to be a volume 21.Im currently reading DAL light novels and im quite far from the ending volume, can anyone confirm me that there is gonna be a 21 volume of it? Also, I prefer reading it on the LN than watching this pure shit animation, date a live being one of my favourite stories, mostly for the plot, (and for kurumi fucking love her) is being ruined by the J.C Staff, they may have had a lot of work but hell, leave the space for other people that are really interested in animating it. Other than that, 10/10 for this season's plot Mod edit: added LN spoiler tag |

I think her arc took a nosedive when she suddenly hated spirits AGAIN. Like, it made sense why she joined DEM to find out more about her parents' death, but why did she suddenly hate spirits again?

WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA?! WHOMST'D'VE THONKETH THAT?! Press F to pay respect. I agree that the animation sucked at times, but people seem to be saying it sucked all the time. Why? Because many episodes, especially ones with fight scenes, had too many still frames. And even in animated frames, the majority of the time there was a lot that still wasn't animated. Think, for example, about Shido's hair as he ran up the stairs in the trailer. Good animation requires there to be animation in the first place, which is why everyone is crying about it. I personally am not TOO bothered by it, but I can see why others will be. |
| Controversial opinion: Long hair innocent Origami was best. |

| I want to know where everyone is reading these novels. I've only been able to find up to volume 13 translated. Where is 14 to 20? Unless they're reading them in Japanese which could be possible. Also, why couldn't they have not rushed Natsumi's arc instead of rushing it and then cramming an entire volume into an episode? Do they want to lose all credibility as a studio? FYI, Tohka was flat again. It must be a secret ability of hers to change her breast size perhaps at times when large ones would get annoying. |
| Gotta love Origami. "Origami and aphrodisiacs go together like peanut butter and jelly." Quote of 2019, clearly. |
| Long haired Origami still has a perverted side lol I didn’t think Origami would remember everything but the way they did it didn’t actually feel to BS which is slightly surprising. Old Origami is back! I actually like short hair on her more tbh. |
 |
| Kotori flustered There hasn't been any date in the past few eps, but finally a date! Is it just me or is this date very adorable! Bold decisions by Shido taking Origami to a love hotel and that shady store, of course since Origami's personalities are double sided, her muscle reflexes would do what the OG Origami would usually do. From taking some weird items to trying to lick Shido's saliva on his spoon. Just as they were *this* close to kissing, shit happens. Shido's spirit power got detected by Origami and well, INVERSE TIME!!! So, the 2 Origami personalities met, fortunately, just as they were about to be consumed by the darkness, Shido is able to reach her, thanks to his statement 5 years ago and what he did just now. Finally, a long-awaited kiss between Shido and Origami happened! The fact that nobody also reacted comedically to this whole situation just made it more emotional. Origami might have only been relying and clinging on Shid this whole time, but now is the moment where Origami's love for Shido has truly begun. Which means... HAREM EXPANDED (For real) |
  |
Kind of a cute episode. I could go for Origami, though her longer hair and animated personality are better. Nice song at the end.   |
 |
| So.. Origami would somehow need to accept memories?.. .. Her personality would be really all over the place.. Em.. That third option.. Really these visual novel parody bits are the best.. ;p Well, maybe old Origami would be glad to receive third option.. ;p Well.. It is hilarious Shido takes Origami to these places, chooses these options.. ;p But on the other hand.. It actually can be quite clever.. It will make her easier to accept her past personality, I think,this way.. Yep, and it seems like Origami has this suppressed personality.. So it's all for better in the end.. ;p Interesting talk from Origami.. Calling her feelings not love, but clinging for Shido to fight pain of losing parents.. And even more interesting that she's willing to learn to love, and love Shido.. So sweet.. Scene with Origami was really amazing.. Feels like a great end to anime season overall, to be honest.. Great episode.. |
| I guess the next episode is filler then? Well, it wasn't bad closure but I really didn't follow their logic of how she could retain her memories - was it part of the fact that she returned back after Kurumi bullet expired but the world changed meanwhile? But the event when Phatom made spirit of her never happened because Shidou changed that, isn't that paradox then? Well, the explanations kinda have holes in it but the rest of it was good, including (the weird) date itself... not the best outcome (felt to me she just returned to her former self only being able to smile in the end, not a sign deredere there) but it was enjoyable one at least. |
NormT said: u can retain memories if 2 conditions are fulfilled 1) Shot by Kurumi's 12th bullet before 2) Have Reiryoku. So once Origami took in the crystal, her bad memories of the previous timeline came back. As a defense mechanism she developed a split personality that gets triggered only when she sees a Spirit. Except that the past (and the future) where she was given the crystal never happened (unless we speculate that obscured spirit gave it to her after her parents car crash of course). Also, the way they introduced those two rules was really out of place as for them it was only theory without any proof (they could basically tell him whatever but Kurumi certainly didn't tell them). Also, how come Shidou and Origami only remembered those two past tries when they should in fact instantly remember all of their actions form the previous worlds that Kurumi changed? Or does it only counts from the moment when they were shot by Kurumi? But that would actually mean the past CAN'T be really changed as it has to be continually retained as the sequence of the past events. Well, the Origami arc was certainly good but better not think much about the time paradoxes I guess. |
| Hmm this memories thingy being the only element in here still feels a bit odd. I thought maybe Westcott turned her into a drone or something by getting her with a forced inversion. Time travel plots are always broken lol. I was hoping they were gonna stick to time travel being basically hacks for Kurumi, like the memories and the accumulation of the infinite infinitesimal moments of Kurumi's life and so on, rather than an actual world changer nonsense, but oh well. |

| This was the most hilarious episode of all seasons :D really saikou!!! |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| Ok, Im really happy Origami is happy and great and has finally offically joined the spirit harem, best girl Origami FTW. However, doesnt all this mean we're now staying in this alternate world with an alternate history where Origami never interacted with the rest of the cast? I know Origami and Shidou remember but no one else does which kind of bugs me. Its like everything that we've been through got pushed to the side sort of thing. Regarding Origami anyway. Also Im pretty sure this time thing would have changed a lot more than it let on. Like the entire original series sort of thing. Origami was one of the major players of season 1 and the final part of season 1 was Origami trying to kill Kotori with shido trying to stop her. But none of that has happend in this world. God, the more I think about it the more it seemed to have erased all the events that led up to this. Im guessing this is why most people dont like time travel. I was hoping Shido would end up taking the knowledge he got from this other world and going back to the original one to fix it but they stuck with this world. Im really surprised no one is talking about this. Seems everyone is more concerned about the animation lol. |
