| Kotori was alright I guess. I liked her personality in the first half of the episode. 2nd half she was kind of annoying. Tabichi is one interesting character. One thing I'll be looking forward to is her back story. How and when did she become a spirit killer. I'm surprised Shido didn't recognize Kotori's picture when the guy showed him the phone. |
 |
| Decent episode which basically introcues what the anime is about. Truth being said didn't really expected to enjoy these series that much when I watched this episode, but it turned out really cool. |
 |
| That was a fun and enjoyable first episode. Looking forward to some more :) |
Jets said: There were numerous turnoffs from this first episode. If like the next two don't really improve, then I'm likely giving up on this. Same here .Another Meh LN harem adaptation |
 |
| Kotori-chan! She's freaking awesome. :D |
| was expecting the sister to end up dying during the spacial quake. BOY WAS I SURPRIESED. the comedy and seriousness seems well balanced, and I don't usually drop anime, especially during the 1st episode, so i'll give this a shot. |
 |
| i came to this by a funny clip, but now i am....rather confused. does the plot want to be taken seriously or not? the beginning is serious, but there are moments when the comedy isn't your average anime comedy, but is lurched into something of an umaru chan degree. i'm all for seriousness and comedy to a limit, but it seems the show's undecided now. this is why i want to know the characters before plot on the first episode. i NEVER want an immediate plot, because guess what? you can't explain plot for AN ENTIRE SHOW in a 20some-odd minute video. and guess what? they tried to do that and guess what? i ended up severely confused. as for the characters: at first i thought it was a 2009-'10 series. the designs look...dated. none of the characters are worth talking about besides that they all basically look the same. not that i enjoyed his sister before, but i really had to try and not get pissed off by her being so....pissy-like. kyouhei looks like a chibi version of guy/gai from guilty crown O_O  episode felt really, really rushed, but i'm not complaining about the action in it. if nothing else works, please keep the action! |

| Huh, that imouto went from super cute/dere to super sadistic and high and mighty act. I don't quite understand but it seems like they are fighting the spirits who makes those space-quakes? How the hell does she have all that getup? Underage girls owning a company... huh... Opening song is really good and that short fight scene was awesomely animated. Let's see if they will hold that level of quality. The spirit girl looks enchanting. ˇˇ Let's see how it goes from there. So he has to make Spirits love this world by dating? Awesome way to fight haha. |
 |
| i think great opening we get some action and comedy too and some pantie shots shidous little sister is commander .... |
 |
| "Hmm i kno, lets start a anime/story with a 150 million deaths n showing sexy girls.." okey then.. Soo the OP is fantastic :p man, i like Both the animation n sound really catchy. Lol soon after we start of with Hella loads with pantyshot XD bet this is gonna be a crazy amazing story n plenty of "exotic" shit in this one xD i mean crazy lilsister who is 14, who are a Fucking commander?(fucking personality Switch from dere dere to tsundre xD ) n a vice-com who is just Hilarious xD man im gonna love this anime. ED is quite sweet.. |
| cause MAL is doing there job for once. |
| Wow that was incredible fast. I actually liked Kotori in the beginning, but she's kind of a bitch. |
| Dance on me to kawaii imouto and show me your stripped imo pantsu :3 Very promising episode. I already love Kotori and her seiyuu is Ayana Taketatsu who also voices Kirino, Ako and Suguha, nuff said. I hope for a big dramatic wincest story. Plot twist in the end wasn't all of a sudden for me because I already spoiled myself a bit but still impressive. It's funny how she stomps that dude foot even though Shido pisses her off but she still loves onii-chan even in this state and doesn't want to hurt him :P Also OP is great. |

| Another shitty pointless anime with caricatures instead of normal characters and dull humor. Another awful battles with special effects instead of detailed fight just like in every third-tier anime for teens. This anime is garbage in short. |
| Huh, this episode was surprisingly entertaining! I actually didn't have many expectations for this show but it might prove to be decently interesting :P The OP was pretty catchy but I didn't really like the ED that much. Kotori's personality did like a completely 180 by the end O_O I'm getting Kaminomi vibes from this if Shido has to go around and "date" all the Spirits ... though why that's the plan they went with is still up in the air for me XD There were some decently funny moments and the action was pretty good too, plus now I can finally see who all these well known characters are floating around ... let's see where this goes :P |
| Not a bad start and I'm looking forward to this. |
 |
| Date a Life Live... Yes, a show that I've always wanted to watch. And now that I have... What have I gotten myself into?! I like the OP, got some good upbeat song and mildly interesting visuals, the ED is pretty stale in terms of its visual due to it being almost static. But the song is amusing, so that's that. Typical introduction, 150000000 people died because of some spatial quake, skip forward to a typical high school MC, with a supposedly genki imouto which turns out to be a tsundere with such a bad attitude who is also a commander of an Anti Spirit Team. A team that fights of Spatialquake-causing Spirits. Which now, of course, is Shido's problem too since now he is tasked with having to date the spirits to defeat them somehow. What even is the characters, from simply looking at them, you can tell that Tobiichi (Holding myself back from typing Tobitchy) is a kuudere, some gengki teacher, and a wingman kinda gay friend. But welp, a weird and messy start of the show indeed, but let see how this turns out! |

| WTF is this show?? |

| What have I just watched? ;o I am totally shocked ;d But the OP was great |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| An anime that sells waifu. |
| I'm really just here because I'm intrigued by Kurumi... And I don't even know when she's gonna arrive. Now I'm forced to watch an ecchi harem. Help me. In all seriousness, it actually wasn't as bad as I expected. It's actually pretty fun, though it's definitely not AT ALL a masterpiece. I find the premise to be so absurd it's actually funny, so I'm curious to see how it'll be handled. |

| Well, at least it's to save the world and it's honestly a pretty interesting was to deal with the spirits. First episode was enjoyable. The atmosphere is lighthearted as it should be for such a series and I think I will enjoy the dynamic between the three parties. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| decided to watch this after seeing so many of its clips on youtube. Already know how "special" the characters are going to be |
| water |
| Fine introduction episode, nice fight scene, Tohka and that white hair girl seems interesting characters and the comedy is ok . Kotori was kinda annoying tho, needs to humbled down. |
| K, finally starting this popular harem that avoided me for so long. I wanna know why the imouto changed personality all of a sudden, the most obvious answer is probably that she was just pretending, but still, I wanna know the reason she did it till now. |
 |
| Yeah, I checked this anime out, cause it was popular at the time and I wanted to know, specifically why. It's kind of an interesting concept, but the characters kinda look drawn the same, which I knew that before going in, but it's also kinda abit too whacky for me, without enough comedy to back it up. Also, this was kind of a gamble for me to like, going in, cause I'm not that into harem animes. Anyway, interesting, but not for me |
| "We brawlers are sustained by willpower! Even when mocked as reckless and crazy!" |
The episode begins by showing the panties of a 14-year-old girl.. |
 |
| rewatching for the 2nd time because of the new season. im also watching the directors cut instead of the original version. cant say i ever really liked how kotori "transforms" into a brat that starwars introduction to the dating sim was hilarious :DD starting of well with kotori pantsu |

| I remember how i dropped this anime twice from episode 1... Literally bro I thought this show was going to be about the brother and sister going on dates (I mean they do go on some) After telling myself to watch the rest of the ep, it actually got better. Fight scenes were CRAZY for a 2013 anime ALready a plot twist with his sister being some captin of some massive space ship and origami being a member of AST 5/5 episode |
