Poor Tohka ;.;

The episode is better than previous but felt a bit rushed. The fight was decent at least though. As for the twins, I wasn't sure who to cheer for this time around. Imo, this was probably the best episode of this arc so far. The OST was even decent and the talk between the twins was kinda heartwarming.

That ending is priceless ha

Kyouhei was acting suspicious and serious, but still act all perverted XD.

And the battle begins between Kaguya and Yuzuki. Ellen reveals herself as an AST operative, now the battle between her and Tohka begins. Oh damn, Shido has a unique sword in him.

So many battles, even the Ratatoskr is also fighting. Wow Ellen was trapped again thanks to those 3 girls XD. Nice wind slash Shido, damn he is going out all his feelings towards those twins. Kaguya and Yuzuki now made amends :D. Wow that looks cool when they merge there weapons. Busted when there clothes disappears XD.

Edit: Episode was pretty good, but felt rushed all of a sudden, now the twins can live happy with Shido around.

Great episode!

Stupid Ellen, I think full released Tohka or Kurumi will crush her fairly!

Look for Miku joins the harem.

That was actually quite good considering how rushed it was. Esp the 2nd half. Loved the OST ^^

First half was tooo high tempo. U could feel they were rushing it to give more time for the 2nd half but I guessed it worked out ^^;

It was nice seeing Kannazuki being a masochistic BA! ^^ Too bad they skipped his background story but oh well...seeing the crews reactions of shock at how good he is was fun hehe. Esp loved his poses lolol XD

Ellen being strong as hell but still owned by AiMaiMi was so lol XD Well she's a force to be reckoned with though.

Finally Shido used Sandalphon. His combined attack with Tohka was nice.

My fav scene was actually the Kaguya and Yuzuru hypothetical talk. They were actually able to depict the emotions quite well :D Felt really sad when they started tearing up saying they wanted to live.

And their combo attack was BA!

Loved the double kiss. That was cute. Lucky bastard Shido! But why did he react like that -.- They told him to close his eyes, what does he expect other than a kiss :P The misunderstanding of him stripping them was lol

Look who we have here...Kotomine Kirei at the end XD

Nxt up Miku :3 I can't wait to hear the songs in audio ^^

It was a good episode. They animated Yamai Twin's arc very well.

Ellen revealed herself as an AST operative. Poor Ellen, she fell into a trap again.

That ending after the credit was priceless.

I'm looking forward to see Miku's arc.

Kannazuki being a masochistic and badass at the same time.. XD

Finally, Shido is able to equip Sandalphon! Cutting those robots in half was awesome.

Ellen falling into the trap was quite funny. XD

Kaguya and Yuzuru's hypothetical conversation was nice. :)
That emotional scene where they express their desire to live alongside each other..
Their combo attack, Raphael, El Kanaf was amazing!

Shido's luck shines once again. That simultaneous kiss from the Yamai twins. ;)
Hilarious misunderstanding of Shido stripping them. XD
Good thing Tohka isn't as violent towards him.

Nice episode. It'd be even nicer if they bring out the psycho girl soon!

This was an intense episode.
Kyouhei being Kyouhei.
Although he does well as being second-in-command.
Dem Shidou slashes.
It's a good thing Ellen got trashed in that trap because she was starting to get on my nerves.
Finally, the Yamai twins stop fighting against eachother and wreck Arbatel.
Dat double kiss.

#DateALive2 i still haven't know the whole story yet but i sense that shido will turn into Spirit of Calamity since he can convey the Spirit powers, and also since he can carry such a thing it might be turned out he couldn't control it anymore.

Not bad. Definitely felt rushed, but all things considered it wasn't too bad.
Still feeling the animation and art is different from the first season. I wonder why that is. AFAIK the same studios are doing DAL 2...

Ellen started getting on my nerves, mostly because they haven't revealed DEM's specific motives to us yet(and as I have not read the LNs, I have no clue why they want Spirits or why they want to kill them all). Mostly felt like she was just fighting Tohka and Shido with no reason at all other than to screw with them. It's pretty obvious later on that there is some sort of plan behind it, though.

Wonder why they might have to kill Shido because he's already started manifesting angels like Sandalphon. Future plot point alert.

Looking forward to the next arc, with Miku and Inverted Tohka. Do want.

Best episode yet! The fight scenes between the two ships was well animated along with Tohka and Shido vs. Ellen and her mechs. Shido was badass when he manifested Sandalphon. Poor Ellen having fallen for another one of the trio's traps. The reconciliation between the twins was heartwarming, and dat double kiss. Dat post-credits. Too bad Kotori is given such a difficult task. Can't wait for the next arc.

Overall ep gets 9/10.

Badass Kannazuki screentime is genius.

The playout of the twins' fight went somewhat as expected, but it was nice to see Shido step up and take charge, proving he does in fact have a pair.

Kannazuki, must be one brilliant tactician, but still just as entertaining. Some of the best lines/scenes this episode were him fighting off the enemy ship.

Finally seeing Shido step up and grow a pair...err sword, grow a sword. Well, it would have been awesome had we not all seen it coming from the end of last season.

Kaguya and Yuzuru were as great as usual, loved their combined attack. The double kiss was classic, and an easy solve to get them sealed quickly without having to make another episode for a "date".

Looked like Yoshino was in the glass containment thing from the end of last season, I hope I'm wrong about that.

So, Shido summoning Sandalphon scares the higher ups. Must suck to have such tiny little... ...that you have to be jealous of a kid. LOL

Tohka is still best girl, but not enough Origami screen time this episode.

All in all, this one gets 8/10

The scene between the twins is heartwarming in this episode.

Anyways, I didn't expect that Shido will be a baddass in this episode. Kannazuki is surprising in this episode too. But yeah, Tohka's voice seemed changed in this season.
The world shall know the truth soon.

Why did Tohka's outfit change when she changed to spirit form? I'm pretty sure it never looked like that.

Good conclusion o the twins arc, even of it was rushed. More harem <3

Her full power outfit stays the same, but when she is only manifesting partial power like when she was fighting Ellen, her clothes sort of merge....last time she did it, her dress was merged with her school uniform.

Well holy battleship. Shido got his own sword. That was unexpectedly badass, and I really enjoyed that part. And I have to say Shido did sound pretty cool when he said "I hate having two choices, I'm used to having three!"

So Kannazuki is actually a really good strategist and knows how to use the ship to its fullest... the world is a strange place lol.

Shido now can use Tohka's sword Sandalphon, now that's really great since he can stop being useless.

It's really great that Kaguya and Yuzuru stopped fighting and decided to continue living as two separate beings.

Poor but lucky Shido, he got kissed by two beautiful girls that ended up with their clothes going poof and Tohka appearing at the wrong time.

I am starting to pity the awesome maji hikuu wa girl, she says than ever in her sleep, poor girl...

Well, the episode itself was interesting but the same can't be said for the art...

I saw that cliche "Both of you..." coming long way but the way it was done, was nice.

Tbh even if Yuzuru is more of my type, I see Kaguya as the more interesting one. Yuzuru just agrees whatever he sister says, Kaguya has more depth imo.

Honest the episode by itself wasn't bad, there just was no development at all. Not to mention Tohka just becomes a serious character over a sudden when she has been one of the worst duts I've ever seen.

Nice to know, I really didn't like this arc but did think this episode redeemed it in full. That you are excited about the next arc is makes me want to see what is coming next.

the battle between the naves was also very good
two spirits were sealed once
but at the end of Shido's life may be in danger
Date A Live never fails to be good

Shido está ficando mais forte, dessa vez ele foi capaz de ajudar Tohka
a batalha entre as naves também foi muito boa
dois espiritos foram selados de uma vez
mas no final a vida de Shido pode estar em perigo
Date A Live nunca deixa de ser bom
