Despite the episode jumping from one thing to another so fast, it seems it developed plot holes that were better explained in the LN... But good kami, that was funny.
Nothing to see here, please proceed to the next window.

Actually a pretty good episode.
But, any episode with a kiss scene is good to me.

Great episode, the Kiss was good, and her becoming naked was.. interesting.... and like others have been stating i find it disappointing origami's shield could handle all those flashy Slashes tokha was throwing at her. they could have atleast shown it was wearing her out.... all and all decent episode next one introduces the young spirit in the green robe it looks like can't wait ^_^

LOL THE GAME RESETS.

Also, my fucking kokoro! Too bad the video quality is so damn poor. I guess I'll wait for the HQ ones. Anyway, I'll re-watch this whole series if this continues.

Awesome episode! ;D


EDIT:

Plus, Tohka really reminds me of Konohana Lucia from Rewrite. Almost exact personality though I wonder if Tohka is violent.

Am I the only one here who thinks Tohka's personality reversal is incredibly out of character? I mean, it did a 180-degree turn, and then turned 90 degrees straight down.

She was a kid who only see the world. I don't think Tohka is OOC since she was always inocent character.

OK, Tohka was too damn adorable! >.< decent series, but Kotori and her personality is seriously ruining the enjoyment of this anime, of course she is a important character but...i hate her with a passion.

reminder it's my opinion, don't like it? don't reply, no need to waste either of our times.

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.

One thing just struck me: The ED animation looks so similar to the other harem+fighting anime Infinite Stratos. I am sure as we see more girls, they will get added to ED one by one, just like IS.

That's a kind of shame that they rush story like that. Current pace gives 3 eps for 1 volume, so maybe we'll get
.

P.S. Does anybody knows if some translating group translated whole 4 volume?

Holy hell this episode was a pretty bad adaption, this whole series so far has been like a fast forward adaption with bits being cut and changed everywhere but it was like someone shoved a rocket up this episodes ass to go even faster hell it even felt like they were talking extra fast half the time.

The date was changed quite a bit and Tohka felt a bit out of character to me at times. Then there was that whole bit at the overlook, fight and Tohka out of control was changed, rushed and just bad they even cut out a whole part when Shidou was back on the airship.

So so so much infomation, background and world settings have just been left out.

I am not saying the Date A Live novels are masterpieces because they are not but they are an enjoyable and fun read but this anime is just cutting out alot of the good and fun bits along with a crap load of info and rushing through it because they want to do 4 whole novels in only 12 episodes. The anime really has for me lost alot of the enjoyment i got out of the novels it could of been alot better if they gave it more episodes or just tried to animate less of the novels.

I have to agree with you that if there's one thing good about this show, its that we can actually see voiced Tohka in motion.

I'll also wait for Kurumi, she is a hot psycho.

To bad it is like this. I was wondering why he fell suddenly from out of the sky after standing up. Well I start reading the Light Novels anyway after the anime. I hope some company is smart and bring us official english translated light novels (so I could buy them ^^).

The episode was good only some parts don't make sense at the moment to me (like Shido surviving that shot).
I wonder what Origami will do next, I like her the most in this anime.

I liked the episode, and I agree about the pacing issues. I'd have loved to seen more 'date', and then have the death scene be a cliff hanger.... leaving the next episode her transformation a bit more dramatic, and then perhaps more to do there.

You mean Shidou. They really didn't explain it, but since there was some kind of black/purple flame on his body, I think tohka did it w/o even knowing.
As for the falling down from sky: I guessed (correctly if the earlier comments are to be taken seriously) that they just retrieved him and threw him at her. What a nice and caring little sister he has.... >.<
