(L) Date A Live

[Kanon]

Origami never fails to crack me up. I love it when she tries to deceive the other girls (MI-ZU-Gi ). It's particularly effective on Tohka who is incredibly gullible.

If I had to choose who looked the best in her swimsuit, I'd have to go with Kotori. A shame Kurumi wasn't there, I'm sure she would have looked stunning.

6 months 'til the bonus episode 13; there's still a chance we may find out just how stunning. But not if episode 13 really is all about DAL Encore though.


Wow, episode 12 is gonna MELT the Kotori fans.

Spoiler for Episode 12:

Lots of Kotori moe-ness followed by a nicely animated Kotori vs. Origami fight, and more revelations. Followed by even more Kotori moe-ness.

Quick cameo by Kurumi. Unfortunately none of the plot development in her scene at the end of volume 4 was covered, due to time constraints. Maybe on the BD/DVD?

Ending with a nice little scene between Shidou and Tohka and an almost-kiss interrupted by a "To be continued sometime" from Yoshino and Yoshinon. A semi-announcement for season 2, perhaps?

Spoiler for Episode 12 (End) + Review:

The final episode was totally excellent! It isn't without flaws either, but man, the fighting sure was impressive which takes place after Shido/Kotori's date. It's time for Origami to reveal her motivations on why she plans to kill Kotori, but Shido managed to prevent that from happening. The kiss between him and Kotori ensues as well, the chances of having a second season are played very well though it's wishful thinking. And it's time for everyone to return at their places, the main complain is that I really wanted Shido to kiss Tohka but fails, which is why it may implies the second season happening in the future!
Overall, Date A Live was a very good harem action show but it's not very special due to its hassle of clichés that are related to the very basic embodiment of harem. The character designs are some of the best I've seen in modern anime due to how detailled they were with a hint of sexiness and moe. Shido annoyed me a bit from the beginning, but he's above average in the end. The girls are drop dead gorgeous, even though they aren't getting a lot of development personality-wise. The action department was great, the comedy blends well with some other elements, there's some drama but nothing too tragic. The ending was fairly predictable but in spite of this, I enjoyed it to the end and I'm left for wanting more!

Is it confirmed there's going to be an ep 13/OVA? I watched the last ep, it was great. Can't wait for the PS3 game now. (2 more weeks!)

Oh good, sounds like I do not need to cancel my blu-ray pre-order...

It's confirmed, bundled with novel volume 9 which comes out in December. (there was some talk about it a few pages ago)

Oh right, I completely forgot. Can't wait for that too then. Man, if it wasn't for the DAL game and all these other games coming out over Summer, I'd buy all the Blurays. But yeah, guess I'll have to wait to get those then.

[Shinji103]

Urgh, now that the anime is over, the wait for the game is gonna be murder. It doesn't help with the anxiety that the game's homepage (and Compile Heart's homepage itself) is having some kind of problem and isn't loading.

Spoiler for Episode 12: Final:

Well, well, this was pretty good. There were great Kotori moments and the fight scene was good (probably the best sequence of such throughout the series). Then the sealing was really desperate. Shidou really went for it there. Man points for him.

Origami has her raging breakdown here, the one time she really went crazy and ignoring all calculated moves that she usually excels in. She ended up stealing the White Licorice unit and it put quite a strain on her, considering the level of the Realizer used.

Then we find out the date was actually not needed and a total farce because as it turned out, Kotori already had maxed out her affection parameters towards Shidou! Hiding underneath all that tsun. Well, we had already had a hint from her that her affection already crossed the "just siblings" line when she bickered with Mana, but we get confirmation here when she kicks him for saying he likes her "only as a sister".

It'd be amusing to see her actually try to get his attention though, romantically, especially since there's a potential carnage-fest already waiting in the wings. All in all, a good end to what I have to say a quite decent series overall. Started off shaky as it tried to lay the foundations down (and condensed too much), but became much better by Kurumi's arc. I'd say the last six was a drastic difference compared to the first six in terms of execution. Not regretting my decision to follow this; it's been a fun ride.

The end was... really now.

Spoiler for ep12:

And I finally know what goes down in the end of volume 4, more or less. It was a nice finish to the series, with a great pre-kiss scene, Kurumi tease, and the possible promise of a second season. Yay!

D. Make her your wife ~!

Your argument is invalid.

It's not invalid! It's valid. RAWWWRRRR!! But... be careful of those who pick option B. There are imouto lovers around here... They might tell you they want option B but in fact they want B+D. Crazy folks

Unfortunately it's true. No big boobs. It's almost impossible to be you.

Melt? No kidding. I felt like I was turning into putty a lot of times. Ridiculously dangerous.

Also dang so many images that are posted in this thread. Good think I managed to hold off on opening them since they're just so tempting to open up in full screen! Anyway, I HOPE THERE IS A SECOND SEASON!

Last episode of the series, it was pretty cool and had a cute ending, I just hope we get a second season

[Ken Sanders]

Since this series is one of my list to watch anime this season, then it's proper that I'll give it a grade for the whole Date A Live series.

Date A Live= A++

I pray that the sales will be a good and go for Season II.
