It's almost pitiful how everybody seems to watch the anime for Kurumi.


Pft I watch it for Tohka. Not bad for a filler ep, random however.

meh, such a typical and boring episode.
The times I've seen such events happen in other animes is ridiculous, same old fan service with nothing but the failure of making me laugh; assuming that's what this episode tried to do.

Tohka is still my favorite but I'm warming up to Yoshino

Interested to see that psycho looking one in the OP with what seems like a clock in her eye

Finally Mana and Kurumi will enter the picture.
Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

I was kinda disappointed that it didn't start the Kurumi arc but Yoshino's faces made it worth it.

It was an ok episode, considering that was the usual onsen episode in almost every anime. The comedy was not that funny, but the cuteness of Yoshino are covered some of the bad things in this episode. And the after credit scene revealed us of a new villain with red AST suit.

I just can hope that the filler episode will not ruin the pace.

Does anyone know if Kōshi Tachibana owner of the Light Novel plans to have a remake of this anime Date A Live?

Only reason I am asking is because they are skipping a lot of detail out from the Light Novel. Also the anime is being rushed.

I doubt it. Maybe the OVA will cover some materials left out but then again, it could be original material as well.

Nothing really special about this ep except for Ryouko and the other AST girls getting more screentime. The only good part was when Ryouko went crazy and wrecked the whole city. I think she causes more damage than an average spirit can. Mana appearing at the end while all this was pretty cool. Looking forward to next ep cuz its Kurumi's time to shine. Gonna have to give this ep a solid 6.5/10. The opening might change in the second half since Mana isn't in it.

Additional comment: After seeing the next ep's preview, I can't help but think they will rush Kurumi's arc too. Reason is





Said it once will say it again.. Noooo Filler.. Though it's cute.
2 arcs in 6 episodes... Good luck with that..

Stake totally useless which has the merit of showing what can be frivolous and meaningless a bet made ​​for the sole purpose of pleasing the audience with more or less pretty girls and the usual spa! Designs that stand on all of this! I want the beatings and other new characters instead!

It's always nice to see "bad marriage". He needs to be in the show more.

Also, Tobiichi's stalker equipment was hilarious. This anime makes me laugh every single week.

Yoshinon is blasting off again lol, also Yoshinos' face when Yoshinons' head rolled off lol, and that battle city was pretty cool too, Suisei no Gargantia (ep 5) should have made their filler as good as this one, because this was a filler, nothing happened story wise, but it was interesting and fun to watch.

From the feedback in Japanese forums, Gargantia ep.5 got almost universal thumbs-up so I guess to them that episode is interesting and fun with good balance of fanservice and character development.
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.

^ At least I am happy to see so many girls in AST uniform, and of course there is Yoshino's reaction at losing her Yoshinon. That alone is sufficient for me not to call it shitty LOL

As much of a filler this episode was, I still think that this was the best episode so far only because the cookie-cutter grade storyline and character development was left behind, and instead the entire episode was just one big, carefree randomness sans the last 1-2 minutes worth of onsen footage. The show already has a decent, albeit still nothing too great sense of humour when it comes to pokeing fun at dating-sim cliches and just being plain silly, and while this episode still could've been a good bit better, the decision to make the entire episode concentrate on humour resulted a much more enjoyable and tolerable episode to me than the previous episodes' partial attempt at trying to have an actual plot/character development, and failing at it due to the lack of polish and rushed pacing.

This is probably the most random episode I have ever seen so far in this series!!!

I really don't understand why they are putting this into such a series and I have no idea what they were trying to achieve. Even though I didn't read the Light Novels, it was so obvious that it was a filler but things just made no sense. The beginning and ending part was alright and the comedy was decent but random food weapons and unusual traps coming out of nowhere was just too random in my opinion and I personally think the AST should've responded more appropriately instead of just randomly shooting everywhere even though they have no idea who is behind the scenes.

The only things decent were the facial expressions that the AST and the characters showed and when Yoshino froze some AST members in the hot spring but I'm surpsied how Shido didn't seem aware that he was in a Hot Spring with so many Bishoujo and he didn't have any hesitation and treated it as it was normal.

This episode was once again so random that I don't know what to say but it seems like Takamiya, Mana and Tokisaki, Kurumi will show up so looking forward to that in the next episode!!

4/5

I totally agree here. This anime falls in between semi-serious and a light parody, probably leaning more toward the latter if anything.

This episode was fun and entertaining. If a filler episode is fun, and this one certainly was, then it definitely has a place in a rom-com, especially a harem rom-com.

Yes. Yes she was. I'm starting to think the captain is the most adorable character now. She's totally growing on me. x3


And what's with you people? This episode was EPIC!! Even though it's a filler I found it to be the best episode of the series so far!! I'm glad they decided to throw in this ep because I was starting to get really bored of the show. This made me become entertained again though. xD
