| The art and animation is decent on the aired version. But some character face is still way off/weird and stiff. Some scene have really weird colour pallets, it almost looks like it was from hentai anime. |
| Well they fix many thing. Like this frame. Tohka skirt, yoshino shirt, yosinon, the table, the tree. But what is this chair on Kotori head? The chair is flying? |

| im about to feel the same way about this as i did for DxD...they should've stopped at Season 2 (and the movie in DaL's case) |
| Well, the massive downgrade in art and animation compared to the first two seasons will probably take another couple of episodes to fully adjust to, but it's nowhere near as bad as it could have been, at least (though some characters already being off-model at times isn't overly reassuring). Other than that, this felt a little rushed to me: the casual harem hijinks, then straight into meeting Natsumi, then straight into her impersonating Shido and then straight into her letter (without much of a transition between that and the previous scene where Origami and Tohka saw straight through her). That aside, this was an entertaining start to this 3rd season. Natsumi is an interesting new Spirit and once again wildly different in powers and personalities to the rest (it always impresses me how unique they've been able to make each Spirit so far, at least in relation to each other), though I'm not sure what she's pissed at Shido for (something to do with when she briefly glowed after the last AST missile explosion, I suppose). I'm interested to see how Shido goes about resolving this one. |
Well at least they fixed some things, I'm glad for that. More Kotori please! |
 |
| After the trailer i thought that it looked really bad, but this was much better than i expected. Still the first 10 minutes wasn't feeling it at all, just felt weird. Then Natsumi's appearance changed the episode pretty much. Still it is decent (at best) and i feel like the story might feel a bit outdated, this joke about food is pretty much ancient at this point. Most likely will watch the whole season and hope that will be able finish this series one day (if it has an ending). |
 |
| Oh great they just added a witch with dual personality into the mix who will serve as the antagonist..To make it much worse was they added a MILF the teacher and a gay guy into the guy's already mixed up harem. |
 Ok cant wait for episode 2 😁 |
| I hope it's not gonna be one episode for each girl lol. An arc like this should be 2 episodes tops and then move onto more interesting stuff. Animation was a lot better then the screenshots I've seen up to now. |
 |
| Well, it is much better than pre-aired episode, but Miku still looks alien to me. |
| I swear they cranked the degen level up to 11 for this. They should've just kept it at a comfortable 8 on the degen scale like with the past seasons excluding the OVAs. I don't think it's a good thing that I liked the movie more than this first episode. As far as I know the movie wasn't even canon. Also the animation is still trash. It's better than the slideshow that was Shokugeki, but this does not make me excited for how they're going to animate OPM. |

| I am not following the novels so this had a pretty interesting start imo, new opening is good too (sweet ARMS did it again yey! definitely got hit by some nostalgia because of it lol) To be honest I never thought they would give this another season after the shitfest that the second one ended up with focusing mostly on Miku... |

Pretty sure Deen announced that they were done with Konosuba at least for the foreseeable future and thanked everyone that they were able to work on it. JC Staff must’ve taken over just because of how popular Konosuba is. |
| Oh my... I was looking forward to this a lot, pretty sure it was one of the first Harem Anime's I watched... but I have no words for the art-style and animation so far. I am not mad, just disappointed..  In all honesty, I love seeing all the girls back (just gotta wait a bit more for Kurumi). Sound is still as good as I hoped it to be... just that art-style man :( |
 |
| Ok,the art styles a bit different,but who cares,it's back,and as long as they keep the humour and storys good,thats all that matters to me.Yeah,they all look a little different,but good god,how long is it since the last series/movie? As long as Kurumi still messes with Shidou,thats all good. For me,it still ranks as one of the best harem animes. Not too sure about the ED though,but it'll probably grow on me,and Natsumi is waifu material. |

I'll watch it then, even if I barely remember anything from the 2nd season. It's been so long... |
| I was sort of hoping she was actually going to replace Shido and use a spell to make him look like her. Then be in a situation where he has to convince his friends that she and him switched places. |
 |
| It feels good to see Kotori again I'm surprised about the animation - it sure isn't top but it's also not that horrible, JC Staff may be able to pull it through somehow? The Key Visual left a burning mark, i'll always fear a really big drop in Quality |
 |
| But hey, at least JC Staff's got budget left to make OPM and Railgun sequel... |
| The animation even though it's worse than the previous seasons, it was decent for me and it's pretty bearable! On the other hand, can't wait to find out more about Natsumi. At this point i'm just really happy that we have a new season. Really enjoy this show and also can't wait for more story development on the way. |
 |
| Well they fixed the animation in the original episode.It looks a lot better now.Those who watched the preair, watch the original episode again. |
 |
| Wished we get to see 'what if' scenarios and him choosing the boob fondle option. If this is going to be the conflict of this arc, it feels a bit silly, even for this series. Anyways, was really worried JC would fuck everything over, which appears to be the case for the pre-air but whatever version I watched seemed fine. Thankfully it looks a lot better than expected, albeit just being pretty average but I'd rather have consistent average than the crap they turned Index III into. Let's hope it manages to stay consistent. |
| They really cleaned it up and improved the subs. Much better! Miku is still a little off, and the aren’t consistent with Kotori’s ribbons, but so much better. And, we have a be spirit we have to deal with. She’s a sneaky one. |
| Complaints about animation aside... Did anyone catch what Natsumi is mad about? They completely lost me. Did I miss like a millisecond frame of a nip slip or something? All I saw was her sneeze, flash and then return to normal. Is it supposed to be a mystery that's revealed once Shido gets to her? |

chakracat said: Animation is fucking garbage but hey it's back. That is what I think most people are missing out, sure I paused at some scenes and damm god... but if you dont pause and just chill, it is very much watchable, PLUS as a LN fan, they are doing a decent job so far, and that is what matters the most, the rest will be fixed on BDs. Just CHILL OUT GUYS! Finally seeing this animated was great, it is was fun to see Miku messing around with others, and even old Kotori is back, besides lets not forget Touka and Origami adoration to Shirou, to the point they were easy able to figure out the real one~~ |

Its not supposed to make much sense right now |
 |
| Does anyone know if the "Are you serious?" girl got her original voice actor back? because I know after season2 she retired? and yes, that is my biggest concern regarding this show right now. |

| so it's back and it doesn't look that good |
 |
| Yeah the animation/art got nothing on Season 1/2 or the movie, but it's still decent, and it's still fun to watch because of the script so i can live with the artstyle looking less apealing for Season 3. lol the Food of DOOM actually turned out to be good, thought Shido would just survive it because of Efreets healing power. Nice to see Origami out of the hospital and back at her Shido stalking Duty again  Yuzuru using her sister as mea..- Kaguya-shield Natsumi is very interesting so far, gotta love how she tried to impersonate Shido and cause a lot of trouble for him because she thought he got aware of her secret, also love her looks and Astral-Dress, Bodysuit is Live Also love how Tohka and Origami were able to spot the difference between Shido and Natsumi, especially Origami with her analysis noticing Natsumi blinks faster by "50 milliseconds" and spotting the divergence of Natsumi's center of gravity by "0.2°" |

| just because I’ve gotten weaker, doesn’t mean that you got stronger, does it? |
| OMG..What the f is this?? The art looks so horrible, is like the shit imotou anime from last season. Production IMS went bankrupt and JC Satff took this anime but is so ugly :( i don't recognize this anime :(( It feels like a different anime.. at least the story is still good and Tooka is still amazing, and Origami is still a stupid b*tch |
 |
| Well, I've finally watched it and it looks fine. Obviously there are still things that need to be improved like some faces, etc.....and it's just me or Kaguya's boobs look smaller? Anyway, Date a Live came back and I'm very happy, it was a very funny episode with the same harem comedy that I liked from previous seasons. Tohka asking Miku to come back to the TV, the dynamic of the twins, Miku being "lovely", Yoshino's cuteness, Kotori suddenly changing ribbons and Origami being Origami.....Origami is fucking great xD. Natsumi, first appearance in the series and I already love her, her design and personality are great. Although she seems to be using a different appearance from her original because she doesn't like it and I suppose she showed it for a moment when she sneezed and thinks Shido saw it.... let's see how this plot develops and who the impostor is. I also liked how Origami and Tohka instantly recognized the false Shido, although their reasoning was a little strange, Origami's one especially. So yeah, very excited about what's to come and I really hope it maintains a decent visual quality. |

 |
| Sure graphics are not the best, but they're still passable and I'll enjoy this season anyway. I wanna see Kurumi >:( |
| Is this really done by J.C.Staff?? This look almost as appalling as last season's imouto fiasco... I sincerely hope that they'll improve this 'cause now it looks something like the animation staff ran out of passion towards this project. |
