Back again watching this anime for a second season, but this time my hopes were much higher. With the way the first season ended, I was sure this was going to be much better. Alas, it was not. The first 4 episodes were easily the worst stretch in the entire series so far. Despite this, the rest of the series was better than anything that came before! Also, this was much funnier than the first season in my opinion. I know I said this last time, but I have hope for the next season to actually be something great. As long as it doesn't start off rough, I'll be happy (also if it keeps consistent with the quality). Also, Kurumi is my favorite character so anything with her is amazing. Hope to see more of her!

This will always have a special place in my heart, and honestly, I get why it’s one of your favorites. I first watched it back in 2016, and then again this year all because a friend casually mentioned that there was a fourth season and I nearly lost my mind xdd. For me, this anime wasn’t just another show. It was the first one that really pulled me into the world of anime. The one that made me want to watch more and more, explore new genres, discover new stories, and fall in love with characters in the most chaotic way possible. And even after all this time, it’s still one of the few anime I genuinely, consistently enjoy. The mix of romance, comedy, supernatural elements, and all the wild plot twists just hits differently. The characters are memorable, the story is fun, and the whole vibe…

Selam, bol bol mantık hatalarının bulunduğu eğlenceli anime serisinin incelemesine hoş geldiniz.
Bir konu anca bu kadar berbat ve sakız gibi uzatılarak anlatılabilirdi valla yapanları tebrik etmek gerekir. Sırf uzasın diye saçma sapan hatalarla ve klişelerle dolu olan bir sezondu.
Bu konuyu çok daha iyi işleyip bize sunmalarını beklerdim, bu şekilde hem çok klişe olmuş hem de aşırı mantık hatalarıyla dolu saçma bir sezon seyretmiş olduk.
Açıkçası seyrettiğim her türlü yapımı keyifli vakit geçirmek adına fazla mantık çerçevesinde seyretmesem de, Date a Live'ın ikinci sezonu o kadar çok göstere göstere bu mantık hatalarını ve saçmalıkları gözüme soktu ki ben bile dayanamadım artık.
Hele o son ise çok aşırı basite kaçılmıştı daha iyi işlenmesini isterdim. Madem ki böyle güçlü bi…

This time, it's Date A Live II, and let me tell you, it's got some interesting aspects to it.
First of all, let's talk about the animation. It's decent, nothing to write home about, but it gets the job done. I'd give it a solid 7 out of 10.
Now, when it comes to character development, I have to say, it's not too shabby. I'd give it another 7 out of 10. But don't get too excited, folks, it's not like we're talking about a Shakespearean level of character depth here. The story, on the other hand, is where things get interesting. It's actually pretty good! I'd give it an 8 out of 10. There's a lot of interesting plot points, and it keeps you engaged throughout the entire season.
Moving on to the art style, it's…

Ive tackled season 1, now I will tackle season 2. And based on my experience, i think this is gonna deserve a similar score to what I put for its first season. Again, another one of those slice of life animes, with hentai and romance with a form activated by kissing a guy. Oh wait, theres even more than that. The only thing that improves 2nd season a little bit (maybe) is adding new characters. Adding new characters doesn’t really much make it a difference. Plus, adding more of it really makes the other characters ack personality, so that character you created and make the actor played as, is just deadweight. Unless they get more attention. Now, I heard the third season was released before and I will again give it a similar score if they till have anything the same. If not because its diff…

why am i watchin. i hated it in the firs season so why i keep watching it... ig im dumb
characters lack brain and everyone is so crazy abt that mc. hes not even that good you know. there are realy nice female characters but they are wasted.
ik, its a harem kind of anime but he should be lil more moral i think. but to be fair, he keeps his promise of trying to save everyone.
u may like it if not experienced in anime enough to tell how bad and wothless it is, or its just your type and not mine. i really dislike that anime but lets not forget abt personal preferences.
i hope it wont be a waste of time for you and youll enjoy it, but id never watch it. gimme back my time ;-;

The sequel that actually didn't feel like a sequel it's much more like another 1st season.
Straight to the point it does not have much to say to its plot progression. It's basically still introduction arc introducing a lot of new characters, new spirits, new antagonists, and new additions to the harem.
It does stray away from the dating sim aspect of the show which made it fine I guess but it still relies on less action and more romance. It shows that the action, sci-fi, and mecha aspect of the show is just part of the package and the only real thing we are supposed to look at on the show is the harem, romance, dating sim, and the talk-no-jutsu aspects of this show
Though seeing the new characters are pretty unique in a way, I'll give them plus points for that. Though I won't forgive…

Okay, Date A Live 2... The first season was good, so this should be better. Well....... I was wrong. So hyped for the 2nd season but when it came out, it was just a huge disappointment. I know that he just makes girls like him and all, but on the first season it was actually good. S2 just made it boring and not very enjoyable to watch. Huge letdown coming from an ex-Date A Live fan.
I had to force myself to watch it, and it made the anime more horrible for me. If they could've made it a bit better and more enjoyable to watch, maybe people wouldn't hate it. So sad to see a good anime with potential made hated because of S2.

tl;dr: A sequel season that is a bit more serious and intense with a bit less humor, but that overall is just as good.
The second season of Date A Live continues along similar lines as the first season, though it is somewhat different. The core stories are still centered around Shido getting a spirit to fall in love with him. However, these stories felt a bit more drawn out than in the first season with each of the two arcs this season having more time spent on them. Though at the same time, it does continue adding more characters each arc, which results in it simply not being possible to involve everyone in every arc, though the second arc in this season does make a really solid attempt at doing so though many characters role are pretty small.
In terms of the new heroines, the Yamai sis…

Date A Live II is the best season of Date A Live.
Every Character is this show becomes even more likable and the new character 'Diva' fits right into the rest of the cast. Shidou's Harem continues to grow, but also the old members get all their little stories to fill the gaps. Tooka, the first spirit introduced in the series, gets a very nice scene at the end of the season, making the whole story feel much more rounded. The concept of this series is pretty crazy and this season shows how crazy it can get. Kurumi continues to be the best character in the show, which leaves me pretty satisfied. Overall good season.

Date a live season 2 is the sequal of the hit harem, mecha, romance, sci-fi anime, it continues directly after the event of the first season, and doesn't waste any time it immediately jumps into its lackluster first arc, and ends of with a banger of a second arc. It only has two arcs, and only ten episodes unlike its predecessor and it's next season who both have 12 episodes. Certain characters get sidelined like Yoshino, the Yami twins after their arc, Origami, Mana and Kurumi barely gets any screen time, in favor of the Diva and the DEM sideplot , which honestly feels convulated and unecessary like at least give us some explanations to why you're doing all this shit, then at the end we get another form of Tohka that is a completely different spirit, and Shido saves the day with dates and…

"What is this ? What in the world happened here ?"
---Mana Takamiya
Well the Comedy that was disappearing from Date A Live is well and truly gone from Date A Live II. The dating sim aspects are gone, the sex comedy is nearly gone and what's left just isn't funny. When your attempts to play off Resident Evil, Rosario + Vampire all fall flat, and you can't get laughs from cross dressing maids and spirits acting like chunibyo, you've just failed and can only wonder, what in the world happened here ?
Most of the evolution of DAL II is forshadowed in the first series. It's not very subtle at all about pointing them out. Shidou's sister being experimented on and having a terminal condition , Origimi's obsession, Shidou being increasingly preachy towards the end, and the large evil corporation.…

A series of which I've had fond memories of, Date a Live II incorporates the main gimmick of dating to survive in the previous series and amps it up a notch.
New characters are introduced, which, although being pretty much a Harem Anime, I've realized I can still feel sympathy for their situations, rather the average Sword 'Ass' Online anime, Date a Live has many enjoyable scenes for those whom are interested in both the Plot and 'Plot' utilizing comedy to accentuate the characters motivations while also maintaining a relatively serious tone.
Date a Live II makes multiple mistakes that the previous series had, but through further explanation later in the story, those make sense, but since this is a review on the Second Series specifically, one would have to attempt to overlook these 'Hint…

Alright if your reading this review I can only assume you've watched the first season. Basically all of the plus's and minus of the 1st season are here too, you can find my review of date a Live, well everything in that goes for this too. Although fair warning, it's my opinion that the show has gone down hill in quality, their is more fan service then ever, though I guess that might be a plus for you, the story is even dumber and more contrived. On the plus side this season introduces a legitimately malicious villain. On the down side, one of the new characters Diva is kind of the worst and she isn't really punished for it. I mean I'm pretty sure she's a rapist and they don't really call her on it, probably because this shows not popular enough and she's a lesbian so I guess people find th…

Don't read this if you want to read a short review or one with a lot of positive stuff in it, I will mainly write about what I didn't like and it became quite long. Since it was quite long, I also couldn't be bothered to read it again to check for grammar or redundant parts. This might be interesting to read if you wonder about the flaws of the show from the point of view of someone who actually enjoyed watching it overall.
A fatal flaw of this show is that while it’s kind of like a harem series and the very idea of making girls fall in love with you, at least to some extent(since “date” is even in the title and going on dates and trying to make people fall for you is most of what this thing is about) means the ending should be one in which he’s married to everyone, right? He should get a…

The second season has enlightened me of the appeal to Shiori Itsuka.
Basically the same as the previous season, a harem story pasted onto a crappy dating-simulator setting which is accounted as "original".
The difference is that we get new girls this time, twins! Although none of them matter, as the only one that does is Tohka.
Art is the same as usual, enough to satisfy someone's desires. But it is also used to express Tohka's purity and wholesome nature.
Sound is, once again, mediocre. Nothing I can say about it.
The whole entire show is about developing characters through a dating-simulator setting, but it somehow manages to simply fit all the girls into the standard archetypes that only know how to be a harem. They really only learn how to love the main character, Shidou, and slowly…

***THIS IS A SPOILER FREE REVIEW***
If you somehow find this show appealing to watch, I recommend you watch the first season before taking this one on.
Ok. *Takes a deep breath* Let's get this over with. Because of money, a new season of Date a Live is here and well if you were expecting more character development from the previous season's characters then well be prepared to be very, very disappointed.
Story: 4/10
It's the same as the first season plot wise; mythical creature taming stud Shido has to go seal the powers of new female characters for the love of "plot". I cannot believe I am saying this...but I actually think that the first season did a better job with the pacing of the arcs than this new season. This season in my opinion had a lot of "dead" spots where I just didn't giv…

Here we are for the second season. I was looking forward to watching this since I liked the first season. I definitely was wanting more and I got more. So let's hop right in.
Story: 7
So the second season wastes no time and jumps right back into it, giving fans one episode to refresh them on the way the plot works. The plot here works in two, VERY noticeable arcs. One is based around a school field trip and the other around a school festival. without giving away too much, the first arc feels more enjoyable while the second arc has more plot progession. Not to say there isn't any plot progression in the first arc, it's just that the new things you learn are things you figured were going to happen. And that's also not to say that the second arc isn't enjoyable, it's just that most of what t…
