Date a Live

Its good but the MC only shows interest in spirits....I feel sorry for Origami. She loves Sindo but he never does anything for her.

This is a quite fun anime with good characters and an MC that you will love/hate sometimes.

The first and a half seasons are more relaxed, focusing on the characters, comedy and fanservice, the second half of season 2 and seasons 3 and 4 focuses more on action and story development and have parts of mistery and season 5 (for me the best one) finishes a big part of all the story we know (except if you know the light novel's or you focuse on the last scene).

Sadly seasons 4 and 5 have CGI because of low budget (at least season 5) but are still enjoyable. I hope we get a season 6, movie, OVA or spin off because this show deserves it.

The order to watch this anime is:

1. Season 1

2. OVA 1:Date to Date (in this page appears as ep.13 of season 1)

5. Movie: Mayuri Judjement (You can watch it if you want but its not cannon).

6. Season 3

7. Season 4

8. Spinn off: Date a Bullet: Dead or bullet

9. Spinn off: Date a Bullet: Nightmare or Queen

10. Season 5.

"Date A Live" stands out as a captivating and entertaining anime that skilfully blends thrilling action with romantic elements. Its unique concept of using romantic encounters to seal devastating spirits from another world results in an intriguing narrative and unexpected twists and turns.

The characters, notably Shido Itsuka and the female spirits, are well developed, each bringing a unique dynamic to the story. High-quality animation and impressive action scenes add a visual dimension that delights audiences. Light-hearted humor, judiciously integrated, adds a touch of levity without compromising the seriousness of the issues at stake. In addition, the anime successfully explores the evolving relationships between the characters, adding emotional depth to the overall story.

"Date A Live" is a refreshingly entertaining experience, seducing viewers with its originality, engaging characters and successful balance between different genres. And finally, Kurumi, oh Kutumi, is my favorite character (I'll say no more).

Where do I start.... So on August 27th 2022, I was on my bed because I was sick and bored. I came across this anime, and something made me wanna watch it, so I did. When I watched it the first time, god knows how addicted I was to it. I was so captivated by everything, the character design, the comedic moments, the action, the conversations, everything captured my heart. I ended up finishing Date a Live Season 4 after only one day, because it was so captivating and I just couldn't get enough of it. When I learnt Kurumi saved Shido 200+ times before, it really did feel like I recovered from my sickness. This was my favourite anime back then, and I just wish it got more love, it's so damn underrated it's unacceptable.

The original premise was moderately unique but it quickly turned into a more generic Harem anime.

That said during the three current seasons there are times where the show again rises to a higher level making it worth muscling through the lack luster filler.
