This was a rather interesting show. The concept of the show was fairly nice however, it reminded me too much of the World God Only Knows in a sense. Storyline was sort-of as follows: People are in trouble from giant black balls of darkness. Turns out some weird girls are causing them. Send in some random guy to make them fall in love and lose their powers. Girls fall in love and lose their powers. Guy profits by building up a harem throughout the season and becomes a pimp. I don't think it could get any more generic than that but it possibly could. This
...
is indeed a harem anime to an extent. It's not like the typical harem anime, more like a spiced harem in a sense. Take note that the characters don't get a whole lot of development in this show. I mean, there is some background explained for each character to a very small extent but that's just about it. Otherwise, the characters are kinda dull and a little bit typical of a harem anime. I liked how they basically tried to make the harem genre more interesting simply by adding a "serious" sounding storyline. I can't really say for sure if there was really a big plot to this whole show but I don't think there was. The show was mainly divided up into miniature arcs that had something to do with one another but it's not like there was some big major ending to it if you get what I mean. This show was good for what it was worth though. If you are into the whole harem thing but are not getting yourself off on the typical mundane harem anymore, Date A Live would definitely be a nice change of pace if you ask me. I would recommend it, but don't expect too much out of this show.
