Date A Live - well first off, it's a unique anime in that it shows enough suggestive scenery that it can appeal to many standard anime fans, but at the same time, it doesn't go overboard so as to diffuse most people. So one can say it's somewhere in limbo, which is a nice thing in my opinion.

The story is very peculiar, but at the same time entertaining - the main character, Shido, has the ability to seal a Spirit's powers (a Spirit being a all-powerful human-looking.....thing) and turn them into humans, for the most part (they can still use their powers if their emotions spike). How does this mastermind do it?

He dates them, makes them fall head over heels for him, then kisses them.

Wait, what? Yeah, you heard me. That is how it is done, my friend. And personally, I think it's a nice standoff way of saving the world. Pretty unique, in fact. The story is constantly adding in new information as to someone's past, what a person truly is like, and so on, tangled into Shido's already complicated life of sealing Spirit's powers.

The story is serious quite often. However, it can easily come off as comedic just as much. Overall, I would highly suggest this anime as it presents a one-of-a-kind show type in several aspects.
