Beautiful CD cover artwork has been released for the "First Half" of Date A Live's "Date A Music" OST series - another round of unfortunate reassurance that while the story is dreary, the aesthetics sure are sweet.

So yeah…as I said last week, nothing happened this week. They went to a hot spring…stuff like that. Explosions were a nice touch, though. Every hot spring trip needs a little excitement, right? Anyway…that’s about all I got for this episode. Looks like we’re taking a break from Spirits for a while…next week will be [...]

Date A Live approaches the end of its airing with a somewhat watchable seventh installment – the introduction of the mysterious clock-eyed brunette girl brings a much tenser atmosphere to the series as well as plot.

We have finally reached the midway point for this series. Being a one cour series, there’s only about six episodes left till the finale. So let us take this opportunity to reflect on what DATE A LIVE had given us thus far. The first episode didn’t leave much of an impression on me. Sure it ...>>Read more

As expected, not all that much to talk about. The preview made me prepared for it, but it still didn’t change my opinion that this episode was entirely worthless. Also aside from the few details which I will mention in … Continue reading →The post Date A Live: Hot Springs and Comedy appeared first on MDZANIME.

A curious break from the regular light novel path. I’m guessing they are trying to save up for the last Spirit that the anime will showcase while curiously they only cared for Tohka for 3 episodes and Yoshino for 2. I can only imagine that they’re gonna pull off…but as long as they don’t give […]

Hot springs episode, go!  …or…the episode in which crazy things happen on the way to the hot springs.  Or…the episode in which the most ridiculous situations show up that cause everyone to fight everything around them. Unfortunately, the AST decide to go to the same hot springs as Shido and the Spirits, which leads to … Continue reading »The post Date A Live – 06 appeared first on Anime Aura.

Second Spirit get. That was pretty easy. This guy’s seriously building a harem…this can’t be good. Too bad the hint we got about his powers isn’t much of a hint…of course it has to have something to do with a Spirit if it affects Spirits in that way. Is he a Spirit or what? Yeesh… [...]

Date A Live approaches the middle of its TV run - the once promising series does notably avoid stereotypical antics this episode, yet it concentrates on ridiculous fights and disappointing onsen moments instead.

Rushed as expected. After the first few episodes my expectations for this series obviously plummeted, and when paired with things like preview indications it only got worse [since the preview showed massive amounts of LN material, indicating immense rushing]. With … Continue reading →The post Date A Live: Summary and Transition appeared first on MDZANIME.

Date A Live has unveiled a pair of new dakimakura to follow its statuesque bishoujo Touka - yet these two, Tobiichi and Yoshino, are unfortunately not embodied to the same idealized perfection as their enemy.

Welp… MC is dead now. Time to reload save and try again. Not really thrilled about Date A Live like I was in the first episode, but because it’s pretty, I keep watching. Well, actually, I am a bit interested as to why Shidou didn’t die with that hole in his abdomen. KI NI NARIMASU! [...]

Every time I feel like I’m about ready to give up on this anime, it gives me a reason to start caring again. The exchange between Yoshino and Shido at the beginning of this episode of Date A Live was great.  Phenomenal.  Meaningful.  Why can’t more of this anime be like this?  Shido promising to … Continue reading »The post Date A Live – 05 appeared first on Anime Aura.

Seeing as though how I’m covering the stuff from two weeks ago coupled with the stuff from last week, I decided that instead of just compiling it all in one post that will predictably move me back another week, I decided to just tackle the episodes and post them seperately. So in the future, if [...]
