| good to have date a live back for a season 5 this was one of my first ever animes pretty good episode |
 |
| Just seeing Kurumi's face makes me forget stress exists <3 |
| Seems like they really are gearing up for an all out war, The budget seems high. My body is ready for this. |
 |
| Origami with another big brain thirsty moment lmao... we are so back! And of course that means Best Girl Kurumi is also back. I love the clone trolling the original, her reaction was adorable <3. That ED sure is interesting. So Shido x Reine was the ship all along? Huh... Man, I'm so happy to see the girls again. |

the origin of dem and Mio will be shown later, they already did it like this for the kurumi arc in season iv.
On the contrary, the pace was excellent and 95% faithful to the light novel. A little rushed, but much better than season 4. And the designs are good too
this episode is a 9/10 honestly

| @benjic665 It's too much. There probably won't be anything related to the past at the beginning, and when "that" happens it will be shown. But there will be too much to show, so they should only show a part and rush the rest. Everything related to DEM will probably be very rushed, just like S4 |
| Kurumi blush is so cute, I feel blessed and I can die in peace now. |
| I don't really remember too much but it looks like we got big stuff rolling in the first episode already lol. |
 Never ending plan to watch list... |
| nice to see everyone again. it's been so long following this anime, now on season 5 + a few movies. Mukuro still prettiest girl for me. But fav girl is still Miku... I almost got bit by a dog helping a friend get a cosplay costume from a tailor. lol anyway on to the story.. how can they lose? They have the help of Kotomine Kirei (Woodman). XD Origami when she's not out for revenge, is actually a very nice person. She could have killed those girls when they refused to ignore DEM orders, but just gave them a warning instead. Perhaps they are shocked she is now a spirit. I'm starting to like the Kurumi clone who went to warn Shidou. Like her more than the original. looking forward to episode 2! :) |
| More Date A Live is nice, honestly. Have enjoyed this franchise from the beginning, and the new season has its promise as the last big hurrah of the studio. I wear my love for Kurumi on my favorites with pride, and the show gave me a bit of sauce there. The casual interactions with Kurumi have always been treasured, this time is no exception Plus, there's going to be that big confrontation in the future. Hope those fights are going to be eye poppers. |
  |
| Kurumi once again takes center stage to begin the new season, much like how she did for the final portion of Date A Live IV, this time with her clone warning Shido and the gang of the war with DEM to come. All the while, Shido and the spirits try to piece together their history with Takamiya Mio/the spirit of origin, Phantom. If only Nia still had her Rasiel… The ED theme, Hitohira by sweet ARMS is perhaps their most sentimental Date A Live song, and the visuals show us the connection Shido has with Reine and Mio. |

| Was waiting for the dub and now that its finally here, I'm just really glad to be back in this familiar environment with all the voices and the cast I've known and loved for almost over a decade now! Can't believe we're almost at the end already.. I cried when Symphogear ended and probably will cry even more once DAL does so as well.. In any case, it was an interesting choice to adapt the Nightmare arc split into two seasons, it did take me a while to remember what was going on because of that but it also helped to waste no time getting into the meat of it. Shido's glimpse into the past makes me think his parents might have died (and possibly him himself as well?) during a huge spirit accident.. Well either way, we'll most likely find out what exactly happened there once that Mio girl is properly introduced. And for anyone who thinks this will be the last season, I feel like we'll probably need another one to really finish us off. There's still about 7 novels to adapt, and I don't see them rushing things in one season, especially since it would make sense to adapt the Tohka World arc in one season. |

| Ok, while this episode definitely shows Kurumi in the spotlight of the arc with her changing the past time and time again to get to her desired result, the fact that we had the huge reveal end of S4 about phantom/Reine feels like the focus of the season. Especially given the ending theme showing both Reine and Mio (are they the same person?). |
| After catching up with this series, one of the older harems (early 2010s) still ongoing, I am excited to see how it will wrap up, although I've also heard that 1 season may be too short to finish everything. Regardless, it's still hard for me to pick one of the DAL girls but Kurumi being as popular as always continues to dominate the screentime, specifically am more of a fan of the eyepatch Kurumi clone than the original Kurumi. |
| Nice, so it's time to go full war against DEM, otherwise it would be the end of Shidou, I'm excited to see how it'll turn out |
 |
| Since season 3 ended, Natsumi has kind of taken a backseat to the other spirits in terms of screentime, but at least we got the entire gang featured, as we have a preview of whats to come this season - an inevitable battle against Westcott and DEM. Mio will likely be the focus as well, given Reine being connected, as the mother of all spirits. |
| I forgot how huge his harem already is, but I guess that's to be expected after 4 seasons. May the dude with the bigger harem win. |
| Oh my god Kurumi I missed her so much! |
| شقایق، اینجا من، خیلی غریبم |
| BRO WHY DID THEY LITERALLY HAVE TO SPOIL THE REST OF THE STORY IN THE OUTRO :C Also, this ep was so boring i had to skip all the yapping in the first part of the ep This ep Pretty much just one of those yap meets they do before something big Got me bored |
 |
| The drawings went into full CGI... It rather irks me but whatever. P.S. Their eyes looks like lifeless dolls, especially the MC. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
