What a crap adaptation, I liked much the first 2 novels, they were fun, i really enjoyed it (gonna read the 3 soon) but what they did with the anime is...for condemning they all to die the most painful way possible. And yeh, one of the "1" was voted by me. I've read the novels, and I think it's a pretty good adaptation. I don't know what you're talking about. |

| This adaption has a few pacing problems. And the thing about tohka inflicting almost no damage to origami, yeah, I didn't like that too much. They put so much effort into making tohka's rage look cool and devastating, like slicing the cliff, yet it's easily blocked by origami's shield. And origami wasn't even struggling to block tohka's attacks. She was just in a mental break down while there are energy waves flying at her. The LN was definitely done better. And the whole shidou falling from the sky out of nowhere. But despite that, the series is still quite enjoyable |
| What bother me is that with this pacing it create many plot hole. |

This guy is well known for turning good or decent original work to mediocre adaptions. Some victims include: Shakugan no Shana I & III, Dream Eater Merry, Aria the Scarlet Ammo. I just hope he won't ruin DAL. |
dipz158 said: this episode has been raw for almost a week i think. have people translated it and all the sites ive found are slow or something? Afaik there is some problem with the editor. He/she hasn't edited it yet. But it should (probably) be out soon, since it's been translated, timed and typeset. They also said that the next episode should be realesed on time again. |

| My waiting has paid off. IT IS UP! |
 |
| this show is fucking dumb as hell. absolute waste of time dropped 2/10 |
| Everytime when I finished one episode of Date a Live I start wondering, what I have seen... |

| I still prefer the imouto over any of the characters :0 |
| So it's one these series causing mental pain with its own stupidity. Too bad I wasn't sure after previous episodes, it could save me a humongous headache after this one... I need to forget it quickly or I'll suffer further damage. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Not as good as "The world only god knows," but still enjoyable. I love Reine-san, her character is hilarious. Origami is kind of funny too, but I didn't like her that much on this episode. |
 |
| What did Tobiichi use to shoot Shidou? O_O It made a huge hole in his body...nothing much really happened in the episode, just them going on a date and then that ending. So um, have they explained yet how this all works in the anime? Like how making her fall in love with Shidou makes her...normal? I haven't read the LN so I don't really know anything :/ But yay next episode! That bunny girl looked really interesting in the PV and that's why I wanted to watch this XD |
| Geez the subs took forever to come out Didn't expect Tohka to be so genki |

| I need to buy a Ducati so i can keep up with the rushed speed of this anime. Personally as a LN reader i am at a dilemma here as i expressed during the previous to episodes i am disappointed currently thinking of just completing the LN and ignoring the anime. Or seeing to Anime as something completely different and completing the LN in peace. |

| Tohka is such an interesting and cute character. I absolutely adored her this episode :3 |
| I was expecting Tohka to be tsundere... well maybe that's just because she reminds me of Houki and Kanzaki Kaori, anyway it was a fun episode, the fight scenes were great and I hope to see it again, I guess Shidou is some special guy that can absorb spirits power or something, now it's time to turn my brain back on. |
| More than disappointed with this episode. I was hoping that it might become interesting. Dropped at 3/12. |

| tohka has unlimited moe although the explanation to explain his rebirth sucked. unless the subs i read was what sucked |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| just wondering where are you guys getting this episode 6 days in advance? I just got it now :S Stark700 said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Yup, I thought Origami would pick up on things, damn. The date was kinda cheesy but also funny to watch. I think Tohka definitely looks cute in their her school outfit. She should wear that more often. Definitely not too exciting for the date. It's funny watching Shidou this episode though with his weird expression on his face. Oh and this episode kinda made me hungry after watching all that food. |

The first Data A Live episode aired on March 30, not April 6 hence why episode 3 aired on April 13, but the sub was really slow ( I mean REALLY SLOW) so the sub just released today April 18. |

Thank you :) I was wondering why I was so behind lol |
| Shido used some unlimited coins o.O tohka's ignorance,,, hnnngggg ,, She definitely ate alot of "date" xD |
 |
| Good episode I feel bad for Oragami though. Pretty cool that it looks like he can't die or something. 4/5 |
| If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime? |
| How much food did Tohka stuff in her stomach, this girl is incredible. And Shido, is he the same kind as Tohka, or did his sister put sth. in him. Oh well, I'll find out eventually. Okay nevermind, I kinda read the spoiler! |

| Tohka <3 loved the episode, tohka was so adorable :D and i have no clue why shidou came back to life :/ i guess its causes he's a main character... probably :p I think this is going to be my favorite anime this season |
| I liked this episode, all thought I didn't like how he came back to life, I think he should have been brought back to life by Tohka. |

| I was iffy about the first episode but it got better :D Great episode. MOE EVERYWHERE!!!!!!! |

| probably could have watched this without waiting for the subs, but decided to wait anyway. I'm still happy to see this animated, but as others have said, it's moving way too fast, and cutting way too much content. do the other LN readers feel, like me, that they're really trying to rush just to get up to cliffhanger ending? I think Besides it's a shame that they are moving so quickly, especially since Highschool DxD showed that you can do a proper adaptation by taking your time and limiting a season to two volumes worth of material. Maybe they're just trying to introduce as many girls as possible. I'd like to think that the source material for this is good enough to allow for better pacing and a second season. |

| I wonder what Shido's story is. Rather liked this episode however. |
mg021 said: Looking at the OP I think it is clear that they will introduce all the girls as soon as possible in one cour length, kind of like Campione where the pace is also super-fast because of the need to introduce all the main girls. Have to agree that Highschool DxD has a really great adaptation. The emotional pull is so much stronger when you allow the steady pacing and directing to let the story and the characters speak for themselves.it's a shame that they are moving so quickly, especially since Highschool DxD showed that you can do a proper adaptation by taking your time and limiting a season to two volumes worth of material.

| 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. |
