| if all the spirits can recognize shido why doesn't miku also recognize him? also, if she thinks like that, why wouldn't she use her power to win the contest? tohka cute as always |
 |
| So this is some random singing contest thing... hmm... halfway through Date A Live season 2 and it feels nothing like Date A Live... Why does this shit still have a better score than Brynhildr -.- |
| The introduction on the first few seconds of the opening is hilarious. Also, Tohka FTW! But I felt their performance seemed short. :V |
 |
| Man, just gotta love the intros. That yuri caught me off by surprise xD. And was that Inoue Marina's singing? O.O really impressed. The cliffhanger tho ;/ At least it wasn't as bad as last episode's pacing. rasenshiruken973 said: So this is some random singing contest thing... hmm... halfway through Date A Live season 2 and it feels nothing like Date A Live...

 |
| Best episode so far. Kurumi! The music and the Oragami fight went well together too. Tohka can sing! |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| Another decent episode. Whats even better is that we're getting up to volume 7 (in a light novel sense), which means... more Kurumi! |

| Kururmi is there. That's all that matters.Really hope she get more screen time soon. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| They have to stop abusing of the "That's so lame", please. Dayum, Inoue Marina's voice. |
 |
| What was the song title that sung by Shiori Bands ? |

| Great episode. My favorite one so far. Show will be better from here on. That glimpse of Kurumi made my day. Inoue Marina finally had her time to shine. She has a great voice. Tohka's singing was far better than Miku IMO. Origami kicked ass this episode. And I'm also glad we got to see Mana again. |
 |
| Inoue Marina totally rocked that song. Her voice...her voice <3 |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Reallyy liked this episode, only downside was that now i am can't wait for the next one xD. Really liked the girls band (and shido's), i think they were better than Miku, although she could really turn Kotori's cheating (turning off the lights) into an advantage for her in a really nice away, loved that on-stage transformation. |
 |
| The singer spirit is still a bitch for now. Tohka with the shot clock cheese haha, that was close, and awesome singing Tohka/Inoue Marina! Origami is in trouble though!!!! |

| The "That's so lame" line was laid on pretty hard this episode. I still find it hilarious. I was genuinely surprised that Tohka could sing. She was great. Man, the animation budget really showed its true colors this episode. It definitely wasn't the prettiest. They should've put more effort into this episode. Maybe next episode will be better? |
| OMG Tohka is incredible, at the last minute when the show would be a failure she begins to sing and dance on stage, besides being very funny to see her playing the tambourine with head Yoshino fully without function in this season Mana awoke .. Origami was very good in this episode, actually saved Shido ja this Miku will be cool to see it when you change your attitude ow and .. Kurumi also appeared in this episode this season is very good also |
  |
| Mii's "Gross" line worked before, but now it's being used in way too many places where it doesn't make sense. She needs another line... >.> For some reason I felt some deja vu from the (supposed) song title "Attention!, Question!". Maybe I'm confusing it with some similarly titled song? O.o? Was kinda disappointed when it seemed familiar, and I couldn't find it anywhere with the OP or ED for either season, or in any of the 3 OSTs from the 1st season. >.< I was hoping it would be like some case from The World God Only Knows where there was an insert song released in full before (I think) it was used in the anime. I seem to like Tohka's song a bit better, but it -did- have the benefit of Origami's air combat with the AST in the background. ^^ "The number you dialed is, like, totally not in use." XD |
| at least we see a glance of kurumi and yamai sister is present, other than that this anime go back to being bore. |
| This episode shows once again why Origami does not deserve the hate she gets from people, she is giving her everything to protect Shidou and 2 episodes ago she was horribly frustrated at how she wanted to protect Shidou that time but failed to be there. Even at the end of last season when she went on a rampage against Kotori she still protected Shidou the whole time (with the very same machine she is using again this time) and in the end she could not bring herself to kill him when he claimed to have taken Ifrits powers meaning her feelings for him outweighed her vengeance for her parents and she put her trust in him. Also yes i found Tohka's song to be better Miku's (in the novel Miku's was meant to be better but Tohka's had a great atmosphere) but in the anime Tohka's sounded better, it also did not help Tohka's was the backgroup music for Origami being awesome rather than the god awful animation of Miku dancing (when zoomed out) because that was pathetic to look at and the animators should feel shamed. Like other people have said i am not really a fan of the voice Chihara Minori has been using for Miku i mean i have loved her in other anime such as her as Horizon in Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon and i normally like the songs she sings for anime openings but i just dont think the voice she used for Miku and the song she sang this time were that good. |

| I'm going to strangle Mii if I hear her say that one more time. But a great episode nonetheless, we now see another one of those Epic Tohka moments. c: |
| Screw the performance, help out Origami :( |
| Miku is my favorite spirit now. She is so cute when she danced on stage |
| Eargasm. |
 |
| nice song! |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Man, Miku is such a bitch. I want more Yuri action between Shiori and Miku :D |
| That beginning scene was weird. I don't remember seeing Mana and Nightmare fight in the last episode... Those introduction with the narrator talking in a serious tone always crack me up. ''Yuri. The world of esthetic and perversion. The forbidden door open in front of Shido. But do not worry. It's only scary in the beginning.'' xD ''Disgusting'' girl is getting even more and more random context than before :P Origami getting cut just before she start singing... Stop the teasing already!! That Miku... She really is full of herself... I don't like that kind of character :( ''What is it Origami? Are you scared of my tambourin?!'' Shiori band casually playing music while Tohka randomly know how to sing perfectly xD Anyway, great episode. Was it a spirit helping Origami at the end? |

| Impressive performance. It's always nice to see a well animated idol performance. |

| I liked this episode a lot more than the previous one. Still pretty noticeable that the art is worse than the previous season though, too bad. But overall pretty enjoyable! |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Better music anime than Love Live. Kurumi spotted. Was kind of hoping she would do something... guess I'll have to wait. Glad to see the Yamai twins again. Need more. Origami's battle has been enjoyable as well. Gee, I wonder who is coming to the rescue... |
  |
| What the heck, the twins just popped out of nowhere. Honestly, where are they living now? Anyways, great performance by Shido, Tohka, and the twins :) |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Finally Mana appeared again,i'm wondering how is it possible that Shido forgot about his sister lol Tohka saved the performance!!! :D They sang very well,actually i'm pretty impressed,congratulations girls ^^ Origami boss fighting against dozens of enemies ^^ From what i can see they won't win because Miku can always say "I was the best vote in me",or something like that,but still they have chance since we don't know what will happen :D |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| School idol episodes are always fun to watch! |
 |
| This arc is much much better than the twins arc. I pity for Shidou that he had to experienced such frightening embarrassment on stage. Props for Tohka for saving the day. |
| 4/5 Leaving aside the flaws, now that I have little desire to list for the umpteenth time, I would say that the plot a little while, and advances is not so bad. Narration fun, but not excellent. Pleasant songs. Unfortunately, what is wrong in this series, at least for the TV version, are the drawings and animations. |
 |
| Origami is in trouble. I wonder who will save her? Tohka saves the performance. She was so cute with the tambourine <3 |
 |
| the monologue in beginning of OP is hilarious well, whats up Kurumi (wish she couldve popped on stage and sang lol) I also like to live dangerously Origami |
  |
| Classic Date a live ,where a typical episode consists of yuri,trap,harem,action,mystery,slice of life and idol.Also,the " that's so lame " girl's quote had really became overused,to the point that I thought she was a pokemon. That aside,I really want to know the name of the song shido and company performed,it was petty cool.d^_^b |
| That was one helluva great episode! Lot of singing and action. Twins are back! And to think they actually animated one of real "Miku" concerts... :D I was pleasantly surprised when Tohka started singing as it seem she has no talent whatsover. Concert was great. Shame Origami didn't get to sing but there is still hope she does that next time. |
| Shit arc, shit ep. At least twins are back. |
