Ah this episode was a bit cheesy but still somewhat enjoyment. Lol @ the "rivalry" between Origami and Touka. Otherwise, school is never going to be the same again. NEVER.

I'm still curious to see how this progresses though with the battles and overall plot. Speaking of which, ugh I still can't stand Kotori.

I don't understand why they air* that on Nico first. That quality is horrible.

Kotori is hard to bear because at a time she's cute and at other isn't.


It'll be cheesy until we'll get in the plot I guess.

I still enjoyed the episode overall.

Dat Kurumi in the opening <3

There are some parts that are not followed the light novel correctly and got skipped since there were few changes. They really did skip some good parts of the light novel like about Shido was first bad experience and played a Dating Sim in the lab while Reine and Kotori was watching him. I like the light novel of "Date A Live" better because it was more details, less confused and more developments than the anime.

Kotori and Reine are asking Shido to practice how to get good experience with the girls. Shido needed played dating Sim. First he was asked to seduce Tamae.

Lol at Tamae-sensei's reaction, she really lost it for what Shido said to her and how she complimented to her.

Shido then went to his classroom and raised the Spirit's affection mood with the help of Kotori and her crew members who were at Fraxinus.

Shido encountered the purple-haired girl spirit again and gave her a name "Tohka".

Yeah, that episode gave me the feeling of being a bit rushed... They skipped some funny scenes I wanted to see from the novel. Overall, it was still enjoyable :

OP and ED were nice to listen to.

Tohka is cute <3 It was quite funny when she tore Origami's pic Shidou kept.

So next time will be "deeto, deeto, deeto, deeto !" We're already about 2/3 of the novel's first volume and next episode will probably end it. At this pace, do they plan to go until volume 4 ?

Haha, this anime has a good portion of silly moments like Tohka and Shidou having a conversion while being fired at.

I have to admit Tokha's "baka, baka" was a bit cute.

The Nico airing quality is pretty much like crap, but at least it's pretty entertaining...This series looks like it'll be parodying gal games a lot, not to mention the heavy S sister. On another note, looks like Origami actually likes Shidou. Tohka is looking like a tsundere. The triangle begins.

Pleasant day for me. Saw a subbed torrent link on Nyaa. Finished downloading it and started to watch it. Guess what? I got trollsubbed. I'll never trust Hedgey ever again. I don't even know why I downloaded it in the first place, I've never heard of them before.



EDIT: FFF finally released theirs.

Yeah it's kind of weird with the realtime choice thing...it's too unnatural for anyone to have to carry out a conversation having to wait seconds before replying. Still, it was pretty funny. I'm here because I saw that bunny hooded girl and she looks interesting :P

Suddenly tsundere?

Aanyway... I didn't find the episode all that funny (the dating losers crew aside).

Even for a parody, the "plot" is too lazily done. I kinda think it would have worked better as a series of independent segments, forgetting the plot altogether.

Man the main character guy is such a dirtbag.
Instead of checking on his injured friend who knew him for a long time and obviously has a crush on him, he goes on a date with the person who injured her and only just met. And to make things worse, Tohka rips up the photo of Origami FOR NO REASON. Also how was HE not injured?
This anime is the worst!

It's been awhile since I truly enjoyed an anime. Finally something to come out of Japan that might break a 7 rating from me. This episode was just pure awesomesauce.

THAT OP!!!!! I think I have finally found an anime where I don't skip the OP and go straight to the episode lol.

Also hearing the voice of Marina Inoue as Tohka just made my day, I didn't get enough of it from Haganai. When she went Tsundere, it was just EPIC.

I cannot wait for the next episode, I wish it was out already. Been awhile since I had this feeling of a void lol.

The dry run conversations with the teacher and Origami were hilarious--also the crew of "experts" (doesn't that guy with 100 waifus post on MAL?). It's nothing deep, but thus far it's had some entertainment value.

Seems like the pacing is just going to stay off and super fast.

Also they seem to be skipping jokes from the LN that they shouldn't have to like blackmailing durring the galge game part.

Eh it's going to be average and definitely not the best adaptation. Though it's still fun seeing it animated.

They also so far have skipped over explanations like the Black and White ribbons his sister wears and what they symbolize. Have not mentioned it in the slightest.

Tohka being a tsundere was so unexpected but omg so cuute.
It was a bit random, but really cute with that "baka, baakaa"
I LOVED IT. and LOL with those funny conversations. Can't for a new episode!

Also, when Shido's [gay] best friends, might really be gay.
Evidence: He suggested a male's name
LOL, may not be anything but something that you can put your suspicions on.

Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.

I must be the only one who like the sister after she showed her dark personality.
Seriously,I wouldn't even look at her if she stay as being your average cute moe imouto type,the switch in character made her more interesting.

hmmm this is the kind of aanime that gives an extremely rushed feeling, the ones midway trough i start reading the novels(plus in the novels i wont have to hear the annoying sister)
i was curious about touka's voice, then i realized it was the same voice for yozora (haganai), damm, it clashes a lot with my image of yozora, so it hard to swallow ¬¬, then by looking at MAL, it says its also the voice of minami kana(really? wouldnt never oticed that on my own, and they aired together lat season, VA are amazing)....so in my mind, this touka is somewhat like kana possessing yozora.

this series had an amazing start, but now it suddenly felt rushed...why do they do this, they want me to read the novels so bad? well, fine! i'll read them!!

Still painfully dumb but a little more bearable than first episode. I guess Tohka will be a source of comic relief, little sister of annoyance and rest of characters of really lame and unfunny jokes. Oh well...

I think the AST forces especially that Origami, should just retire. They serve no purpose after this episode.
To me, they are like the most useless forces ever in anime.

DaL is all about Tohka and Shi*do. The "choice making team" are useless as well.
