I haven´t watched yet, but looking at the reviews it seems this season was a disappointment. Is it really that bad?

Season 4 looks really good so I´ll have to push through either way lol, but what did you guys think of this season?

Season 3 is very bad visually, and they have a rushed last episode adapting a whole light novel volume in one episode…
But it is worth it because season 4 and 5 are absolute 🔥🔥🔥

I don't remember any specific details but I do remember being confused and feeling out of breath since i remember it being fast. but then again, once a certain plot device gets introduced, I always get confused at least a little when that plot device happens. I think it is the worst season by far but still better than some other s3 that completely drop the ball *cough* toaru *cough*

lmaooo apart this being the 3rd studio doing Date a Live it was pretty mid at best, but S4 was actually decent for DaL standarts

I know seeing the reviews on season 4 makes me excited I really enjoy this series. Guess I´ll have to suck it up lol

At least it’s watchable, they kinda messed up art style and in terms of adaptation it’s not the best. But you will be rewarded by quite good season 4. Storytelling in fourth season is so much better, art style is also a little bit different but I kinda liked that.
Anyway, go watch it. It’s not that terrible.

The story arcs itself of s3 are great sadly it got gutted very hard, animation was also more wonky than the previous seasons. Still you should pull through it cause season 4 although having an artstyle change was the best one in terms of pacing.

It’s pretty ok, season 1 and 2 are def better and season 4 is phenomenal compared to it, but I agree with most of the people here that they rushed a lot of the development a lot. They couldve taken it slower instead of cramming all that plot (especially origami) into 3 episodes

S3 was definitely the worst mostly because of animation.
S4 also had animation poor at times, most notably CGI, but was saved by adapting the best content from LN.

Its my favorite season out of the 4 just for the second arc; apparently it didn't do the LN justice but I've never read that so I didn't notice anything, but thats probably why some of the reviews are bad. Someone else said they did a whole volume in one episode at the end but I just thought that was an anime original episode 💀

Personally, I really enjoyed it, almost as much as season 1, and way more than season 2. Although I’m pretty sure I’m the odd one out with that opinion.

Season 4 has gotta be my favorite by far, though.

story is great largely due to Origami's part. It is largely the animation that suffered. You need to watch this anyways to understand some parts of the DAL IV which ones of the best animes of spring 2022.

The story is great, although I'm not a big of the animation.

It was my least favorite of the 4 so far, but still really good. It has nothing to do with the story being bad, just the other seasons ( especially season 4) were a wee bit better

The story was okay, and I didn’t notice any issues or changes with the art style unlike season 4. I think most people’s issue is that they adapted a whole LN in one episode and skipped a lot of important details

The adaptation from the LN is not great but it's somewhat good. I've read some parts in the LN that explain some stuff that I couldn't make a sense of and yeah there's more story.

unfortunately, thanks to some Mal user that didn't use the spoiler function, I already learned somewhat how the ending is and had lost motivation at that time.
will keep reading it after some other time when I'm free. I like the LN.

at least, now I know that I will be very satisfied with the ending.
yes.

Sorry to hear that.. spoilers are the worse!
