Date A Live II follow volumes 5-7 of the light novels. The first half of the show deals with these competitive Yamai Sisters, Kaguya and Yuzuru, who were the same spirit until one day the two were split up into two. Now they compete with each other to prove that they are the real Yamai. They have had 99 matches (25-25-49) and there last competition is to see who can seduce Shido and he would be the deciding factor. The second half of the show is Shido trying to save a spirit called "Diva", Miku Izayoi, but the problem is that she is bias against males because she use to be a pop star who got caught up in a false scandal after refusing to sleep with a TV producer. She later lost her voice due to psychogenic aphonia and made contact with a sprit named "Phantom", the same spirit that gave Kotori her spirit powers, and regained her voice to sing again. Aside from the spirits there is a new threat called Deus Ex Machina (DEM) and I'm going to be honest I forgot what their goal was, but I think it's on the lines of world conquest or something like that.
Let's talk about the Yamai sisters. Kaguya is very childish and has an outspoken personality. Yuzuru speaks very robot like by stating her response and then giving the actual response. Like if I said, "The Giants won the World Series". She would more or less say "Confirmation. The Giants did win the World Series." Miku is not only a pop star, but also she is attracted to those of the same sex making her fall for Shidou would prove to be quite the challenge.
There is one joke that is set up at the beginning of the show where you could see coming a mile away and you know it's coming, but you just want to see the reactions of the characters.
Once again the animation is pretty good.
The one downfall is the increase in fan service. I really don't mind fan service in general, but when the show has more fan service than it's previous season it gets awkward.
Date A Live II is still a very good show. This show is just a guilty pleasure for me and once again it's a show that I could just sit down and just enjoy it and not think is it as good as others say it is. So my grade for Date A Live II is 8/10.
