Can't wait for more Kurumi.

Tohka seemed... highly unimportant for pretty much the entirety of this season, so I hope that gets fixed, since I'm pretty sure she's supposed to be the main female lead or something.

[up][up] from link. "The story centers on an ordinary high school boy named Shidō Itsuka who meets a spirit girl who has been rejected by a devastated world. The girl, who Shidō names "Tohka," happens to have wiped out much of humanity 30 years ago, and now she is back. The only way to stop her is to date her."

Er...what?

Honestly, this series continues to have some of the wackiest(or least unintentionally misleading) summaries I've seen in a long time.

Glad to hear that at least. Yeah, I'm hoping for more Kurumi also.

I'm… pretty sure Tohka isn't responsible for anything like that. And I'm almost certain she hasn't been around for that long.

Well, looks like there's going to be rejoicing for many, as a second season was announced. This means resolution to Kurumi's arc, followed by the idol spirit AND the twins! Whee!

Episode 12: Found it okay. The announced second season makes this episode more palatable.

Speaking of the second season, why the hell are those twins just wearing belts

It's not like the spirits get to choose what their magical outfits look like.

Probably.

My impression of the twins book was that someone got told to up the fanservice. Sort of like Kotori's scene right the beginning, it felt deliberate.

The outfit goes with their Code Name also. Kinda.

I'm hooked onto Date A Live. And I loved the anime.

[up][up][up][up][up][up] Looks like ANN likes to post misleading stuff. I'm used to it already. Probably.

[up][up][up][up] If only volumes 5-7 get used, then Kurumi's arc won't be resolved in season 2 either. Most we'll get is another cliffhanger.

[up] So... how does "Berserk" link to their Astral Dresses?

second season first ep is out

I was impatient so I went through the L Ns to see what's going to happen and like

wow

the first episode itself felt a lot more entertaining than a lot of the first season's anything too

Season 2, episode 1. In which we're reintroduced to the series.

Overemotional much...

I think this is more stupid than I remember.

Well, at least they managed to solve the dilemma of the missing bread once they found the problem.

Oh, the complaining girl. I didn't know I'd missed her.

Apparently princess can be spelled "prencess." You learn something new every day.

I still like Tick-Tock's voice.

Felt much like a reintroduction of the series, somehow.

Y'know, it's strange how endearing a background character who appears to have a one-word vocabulary can be.

S2, e1: Basically an anime original episode that was a reintroduction. Curse of having a slightly (by anime standards) more complex setup.

So every spirit's gotten an Early-Bird Cameo except Kurumi(and Tohka of course).

Hey, we get Kurumi's mission.

One of things I like about this series is that people will have oddly sane conversations about the oddest things. And that is totally like Origami.

Nice spoiler ed guys.

Kinda a weak episode(still better than the original episode in season 1 though), but I guess they felt the need to do a re-introduction. .Not sure why, since not a whole lot got reintroduced. Probably still one of the better things I've seen this season.

Edit2: Well, they got it to air on Tohka's christening at least. [lol]

It's been a while, Date A Live!

And it kick things off with a soap opera scenario!tongue

Origami's still Origami. Phew. Good thing she's not a permanent seeker of vengeance!

Ellen looks like someone not to be messed with.

So Kurumi's out to slay the origin of Spirits. She be an Originslayer!tongue

Twin hurricanes, huh? It was those two new Spirits, no doubt about it.

And it looks like Tohka has a dark mode.

[up]Oh, she is. It's just that it's currently not showing itself. By volume 9 she's gone all out in revenge mode, joining DEM for more power after the AST kicked her out, and even became a Spirit herself in the next volume, all for more power.

Alas, it amounts to nothing in the end. There's a very good reason why volume 10 is known to contain an overdose of Maximum Suffering.

Like she needs anything MORE to be dislikable. Urgh, Origami is just a terrible, terrible character.

Meh. On the one hand, I can't help but enjoy Origami's Stalker with a Crush tendencies. On the other hand, her thirst for revenge pisses me off, especially when it's eventually found out that she kills her own parents by mistake.

She doesn't really piss me off. I just think she's more of an antagonist than Tick-Tock.

[up][up][up][up][up], [up][up][up][up][up][up]: Apparently, reasons for liking her include how she was characterised, or something along those lines.

I figure that those who like her for her looks like girls with average builds or something.

[up][up], [up][up][up]: That said, her behaviour is better in S2 than S1; there's no revenge BS in S2.

I like Origami, but pretty much the only reason is because of her humor gimmick and the misunderstandings that may follow (usually with Tohka, who isn't exactly known for above average intelligence or intuition to begin with.)

Well, as I've said before, I think she fits better as The Comically Serious than for whatever angst or revenge drama they can squeeze out of her. And she still comes out more as an antagonist than as a romantical option.
