While watching Date A Live, I was amazed at the level of originality this series has given me, the story revolves around our young protagonist "Itsuka Shidou" and his day to day interactions with the beautiful girls surrounding him, most of which were formerly an embodiment of destruction, I say formerly because our protagonist's mission is simple, just make the spirits fall in love with you and seal their powers.
Now the story isn't that all specially unique, we already have several shows offering the same premise, but what makes "Date A Live" unique is how it delivers its story.
Unlike its novel counterpart, the anime series
...
lacks the depth and feel that the author originally wanted his viewers to experience, I have read the novels, and personally it was 7 times much more enticing.
What the series lacks that the novel fully delivers, is the trivial and subtle things that make a big difference for our beloved characters, especially the girls. The story sky rocketed so fast that It felt like-comparing to the novel-it doesn't make sense anymore, everything was fast-paced and blunt that the series felt like it lacked the respect that the novels deserved, and along with it the enjoyment and fun that it could have delivered if it only tried a little bit harder in sending us the appropriate message.
Overall, from time to time the series deviates far from the original story, but just enough to recover in time and not become a totally different story.
