| Kotori's too cute, really turned out to be one of the ones I almost didn't even try this season and also turned out to be so so enjoyable! Season 2 please! |
| Pretty good episode. This show seems to be a generic harem but i just love it so much. Who am i kidding, i love harem. But this series has more to it with the added Spirits etc and im really glad the anime turned out great. The OP, ED and the seiyuus were all awesome. All the cast were great with their own uniqueness. Tohka being a glutton is so cute. Yoshino is the personification of cute and Kurumi is just down right hot. Cant really say much about Origami though lol though she was funny during some scenes. Needed more Kotori with "onii-chan" thought and more dere-ness. Now back to reading the LN. 10/10 |
| I am little bit confused - but they still haven't revealed identity of that mystery spirit that was on five year old record, right? So Kurumi was involved in this? Well, this show doesn't have great story but it was exciting and I enjoyed it nonetheless. I like those little tidbits like variating openings, endings, date choice selection, references to other animes (f.e. anyone noticed Eiken-ish water-slide in last one? :D), visual novels and so on. Great character design and good mix of fanservice and action. Can't wait for season 2! 7/10 |
| Heartwarming ending i think...but i still confused about what kurumi did when she's babbling "That is still not enough?" and what happen with oriigami? :S well, when yoshino show up "To be Continue..Sometimes" i think we still have chance for S2..maybe.. OwO 7.5/10 |

| Seemse like they decided to go with a open ending, seeing kurumi aswell planning something. This obviously screams for a second season. I would've liked a couple of more episodes since there are some unresolved buisness imo, obviously the whole kurumi deal (just glad they showed her at the end) and what exacly happend with mana? Also the fact that it seemed a little rushed. Overall I liked the show though, the ending was great with kotori kiss scene ^W^b |
 |
| I was expecting for Shido to go berserk after sealing Kotori's power but heck, that won't happen. He must stall Origami by using mere words only! If only the world works that way *sigh* Well, at least, they gave us an interesting finale episode, had some giggle here and there. This series is entertaining in it's own way, but the only thing that is truly decent about this is Kurumi's arc, if not for that, this is nothing but a 3rd rate mediocre harem show. 6/10 |
| So it's ended already... Too bad many things left unanswered.. Well, decent show, not bad, but nothing special either. To LN readers: is date a live supposed to be animated like this? what do you think of the maker doing its job to animate this series? I don't read the LN so I have no idea what's really going on there >.> |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

It should have been better than this I suppose. But oh well, they can redeem themselves on the 2nd season if there is. |

| I've read the first five novels, and I think that's a bad adaptation. I'll be waiting for the BD though, it seems like there's some director cut with actual plots included. ( Cutting the plot in the Tv airing, that's such an idea... ) |

If only the world works that way *sigh* I was surprised Thoka made it out that fight without a scratch, you would think that between her hate for princess and her obsessive jealous over Shido she would take the chance to beat her up some more. I don't think that saying that Shido won with the power of words is fair, my understanding of episode 11 is that this new Unit is very damaging to the Pilot body so Origami collapse of exhaustion. Lets remember that Mana is terminally ill because of her unit too. |
| Not a bad series after all. 8/10 Totally not memorable and not worth re-watching though. I think I've been generous enough these days that i would give this show an eight despite it's mediocrity. lol. Anyways, Pretty Mediocre at Most. Nothing Special. Will watch a second season if it's planned to be made in the future. Overall Rating 7.5/10 Rounded Off to 8. |
| so it's end? meh I like this anime very much ^^ Dat Origami faces xD So now I'm waiting for OVA :D |

| It's a shame this adoption was done so badly it could have been a reasonable anime but it was rushed so much that most of the good stuff from the light novels went to waste. But maybe we should be happy we got a anime adoption at all it's hard to say. In any case would have loved to see more of the jokes from the LN in this anime the fights could have been more detailed as well like they where in the novels. I would also have liked to see more focus on the heroines. |
| Great finale! Even Kurumi had a short appearence, which makes me wonder what her goal actually was? It looked like she doesn't have enough power yet and I guess that's why she wanted to 'consume' Shido. I would appreciate a 2nd season with more Kurumi. I always thought Origami was a weird stalker, but this episode made her look like a crazy psychopath. Well, now she has time to sort out her feelings, since she's tied to her bed. Genius move! Also, epic double cockblock by Kotori and Yoshinon. |
| ("Life isn't always fun") |
| Decent ending. Now I need to read the LNs cuz apparently they are way better. 2nd season would be good if they would do better with the pacing, characters, and add more action and things. ^^ |
| 💕 |
| I enjoyed this a lot. And it makes me sad that it's the last episode. But Yoshino said it will continue, I hope it's true. I usually despise Origami Tobiichi, but I put myself in her place, and yeah, if someone do something like that to my parents, I probably would want revenge too. Yoshino has become the blue-haired character I appreciated the most in recent times. It's so adorable! How not to get attached to her? And Tohka, my favorite. I'd love to see one last kiss between her and Shido. Overall, i'll wait for a second season, because I quite liked this. |
 |
| lolol that Wincest kiss. Like it cuz Kotori ftw That ending.. 2nd season? I love you.... as a little sister that is. Freaking rejected. |

Tohka_Yatogami said: This episode covered the material of LN volume 4 chapter 10. The scene of after the kiss scene between Kotori and Shido, the vision that Shido saw about 5 years ago of what happening between him and her was longer in the LN, it was more dramatic and heartwarming. The scene where Kurumi was longer too. I guess it can't be helped since the anime can't be that coherent. I still prefer the light novel more. I liked the rides that Shido took Kotori to. The way how Kotori blushed was cute. Kotori vs Origami battle scene was alright. Not a bad ending for this episode. makarov52 said: hmm soukka.. maybe just some kind of filler yeah? hmm.. :3 I don't think the ova will be a filler. I will say it was more like a side story. Link where i can read the LN ? |
| I was satisfied with the ending and hopefully they do make the second season . |
| Good ending :D I hope there will be a 2nd season that covers the rest of the light novel I wanted to see more of Kurumi and Tohka though I'm gonna wait for the OVA, and hopefully it is at least good. |

| so kotori ships shido and tohka? |
| Good last episode, That kiss at the end with tokha darn!! well a bit sad its done, well theres always a hope for season 2 :D |

| Tch. |
| In the novel that kiss scene was in Yoshino Arc. It's not a bad thing to put it only at the end of the season. |
|
| This show was not bad at all. 6/10 |
 |
| Decent finale, but the overall show was a wreck. Felt too rushed, MC was generic as hell and Origami was incredibly annoying. Some parts were also pretty bland/stupid. But the music is nice, Kurumi was awesome and it was rather entertaining, all things considered. 6/10 and I feel kinda bad for liking this lel |
| FINITO Well all in all that was pretty, well, difficult to stomach AHEMTOHKAAHEM There were.... some decent moments in the series I GUESS, unlike some shitty kiss like this: Though we also got funny moments like this: ANYWAYS despite all these problems there was ONE character who redeemed the series, well for me at least, and that character is! *drumroll*  Don't reeeeally want to go into details but I think the consensus is that Kurumi is the best girl, just because. My rating for the anime WOULD be a 3/10, BUT Kurumi alone makes me want to give this sh*t a 10000000/10 but BECAUSE MAL doesn't allow that, I'll just go for a 6/10, it was pretty fine I guess I mean it would be a God tier anime if it was centered around Kurumi alone but hey whatever right? |
 |
| The writing in this was beyond stupid but oh my god Kotori is so cute. |
 |
| When I see all this love with Kannazuki I can only hope for a second season. This guy will be even more awesome o/ |
|
| 6/10 for me, but this was a pretty good episode. Highlights : Wincest Kiss, Double cockblock at the end |
| Damn, I didn't get to see the kiss at the end. 6/10 |
 |
| Average series with a decent ending. Hope there's a season 2. |

| I never read the LN so I have no idea what it's like, but the anime was so and so at best. Animation and music was good at least. Having read through this thread, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who strongly disliked Origami for the majority of the anime. Every time she was on screen I felt like puking. Glad she got what she deserved. I was wondering when Shido would say "I love you. As my little sister, that is." and then he went and said it in the end. One would think he'd realize at this point that Kotori's feelings for him are romantic, not that of a sibling. Oh well, seeing as Tohka was the first spirit Shido saved and them almost kissing at the end kind of makes me see them as the "official" pairing. I'd totally go for Kotori though. Was a little annoyed we didn't get to see who the mystery spirit was, but I can deal with it. All in all, it was an enjoyable ride. I'd definitely watch a second season, despite the obvious downside of more Origami. |
| Nice ending, I guess... |
| Can't wait for the sequel |
| Oh God. Lots of loose ends. Kurumi, Mana, and of course their pasts! Give us a second season!!! |

| not satisfied with the conversation of between Origami and Shido.... need to wait for the full translation of the LN... LOL at Shidou pretending that he's a scaredy-cat with Kotori just to hold hands with him.... i give this anime an 8/10...well, i only watch this anime because of Kurumi so yeah.... hoping for season 2 of this... xD |

| Felt sooo rushed and los of fillers give it a 6/10 liked it but i would love it if it were 24 episodes with more story/development to it.. The ending is open ad quite lame.. Its a shae really My fav girl is tohka and next s kurumi |
 |
Best part of the episode IMO:  It may have only been 5 seconds... but it was the best 5 seconds. YanderesFTW said: Kurumi should get her own spinoff series... i'd pay to watch it.... If there was a spin-off... my life would actually be complete. I'm serious. Like if the whole series just focused on the Kurumi arc, I would have gave it an easy 8/10. But since it wasn't, low 6. With that being said, PLEASE GIVE US A SECOND SEASON! ;-; |
