According to Fujimishobo, light novel "Date A Live" was announced to get an anime adaptation.

Date A Live official website

Synopsis:
Itsuka Shido is a high school boy. On the last day of the spring holidays, an explosion destroys the town and a girl in armor appears in front of him. Shido's sister-in-law, Kotori, tells him that the girl is called "Special Disasterous Designated Creature: Spirit", which causes a timespace quake. Kotori disclosed that she is the commander of the anti-spirit organization Ratatosk and orders him to go out on a date with the spirit girl. Kotori says, "I don't ask you to beat the spirit. Just let her fall in love with you and save the world."

Why almost every single light novel starts with "X is a high school boy"? O.o

Well, may be a decent anime or a complete trash, I guess. Depends at where the focus will be directed.

*checking the site*

Ah, harem. Getting closer to be the latter.

dtshyk" said:

you actually think that will happen???
this is how it will work most likely (heavily assuming its a tsundere):
they wont get together, when the time comes he'll convince her to save the world, and at the end, she might show som SLIGHT interest, leaving it open (once again) for another season.
but what the hell, i'm probably gonna watch this anyway

I don't know why suddenly Japan is making bunch of animation relation to 'BOY SAVING COUNTRY IN CRISIS' or 'IN DISASTER'. I'm emphasising 'DISASTER' part. I really don't like it. It's as if trying to brainwash their citizens to think that the 'recent massive disaster event' was definitely not a fault of Japan itself, when clearly it was.

The usual moe designed characters: CHECK

The characters wear Battle dresses and school uniforms only: CHECK

The usual average high school male lead who is nothing special at all: CHECK

Multiple girls who probably will swarm over the said average male lead: DOUBLE CHECK


I can already tell where this is going.

Can't anime studios just wait a while only Vol 3 of the novel is out.

Tohka is kinda cute

Could be excellent, above average, or shit

*checks site*

1 second in and it's already in the Above Average category. Harem seems ok.

It's worth a watch.

It's frigging obvious. It's an Adaptation of a light novel. Light novels are made before anime. Guilty crown was made this year. Two and two make?

As for this
On the last day of the spring holidays, an explosion destroys the town

Interest peaked.
and a girl in armor appears in front of him.

Interest killed.
