The idea of date a live was not boring at the beginning. And it seemed you can shut off your head and watch it without thinking. But its really sad where it is going. Its already became an harem anime with a extremely attractive and dignified main character that not that fond of girls but somehow every girl around falls in love with him. And of course there is dumb incel male side character(kannazuki). And harem gonna get bigger thats for sure. Idk, its just average harem anime. And no even need to mention CGI, that was looking like a 2000s video game.

Wow, what a movie that was.
First off, as a fan of Date a Live who only started the show in 2022, this movie was not what I expected. After catching up to season 4, this movie hits differently. I enjoyed how this movie was going for a story that reminisces what made the first season great. If your looking for more Date a Live after catching up with the anime, this movie is a must-watch.
Story
Solid, I enjoyed the date scenes as we get to see some funny moments in them. Also, I like how it built up to who Mayuri is. The more dates Shido went on, the questions arose who is this Mayuri girl? Then you get to Shido and Mayuri finally in a conversation, the final battle begins, and man that was epic. It's such a simple plot but it works well for such a short-length film. I wish Mayuri got more…

Well, where do I even begin with the masterpiece that is Date A Live Movie: Mayuri Judgment? The story is an absolute tour de force, weaving together complex themes of love, fate, and the nature of reality itself in a way that will leave you breathless. The two to three main characters are simply unforgettable, with their nuanced personalities and intricate relationships driving the narrative forward with the force of a freight train.
And let's talk about the music. Oh, the music! It's a symphony of sound that will take you on an emotional journey you'll never forget. From the hauntingly beautiful melodies to the heart-pumping beats, it's a true feast for the ears.
As for my enjoyment experience... well, let'…

This movie can touch my titties like the main girl fucking Mayuri isn't even important until like the last 10 minutes then she just fucking disappears because she's a useless character and literally never comes back because she's not cannon. There was no point to make this movie and the light novel version should've just been an encore. Even the goofiest fucking encores are way better than this. The one where the Yamai hoes were buying school lunch was more entertaining than this like what the fuck! Basically this movie is like oh yeah Shidou your hoes are mad because you literally never ask them out on dates unless the world is in a fucking extinction crisis so guess what there's another fucking extinction crisis happening. A massive ball appears over the city and Shidou is like holy shit…

*Minor Spoilers Ahead*
I began watching the series a few weeks back after a friend's recommendation due to the upcoming 4th season and was caught off guard by how much I enjoyed this movie, even as someone new to the series.
Story: 8/10
To put it one way, the movie felt like a feature-length episode of the anime, which I personally loved—with a basic but fun premise of the protagonist Shido, taking each of the spirit girls on individual dates while also slowly unravelling the mystery behind the mysterious spirit Mayuri and the concentrated low-level but potentially-dangerous-if-left-unchecked ball of spiritual energy hovering ominously in the sky above his home city. I would have liked to see more of Mayuri, but I guess her lack of screen time does make sense since, in universe, she was…

Was surprised by its actual progression. The story really felt something worth looking for. It starts off as calming as it should be continuing where we left off the second season then starts to build up its pace immediately.
It has the most unique endings ever and definitely the best current ending in the whole series. Though the movie felt lackluster in some departments, it is still a good one provided that it has an unusually short time period for a movie at 1hr and 12mins only and less if excluding credits.
The appearance of the new character is something to take note of. Since the new character did not just appear out of nowhere unlike the other ones. It has great build up starting off as something mysterious then becoming a little bit more clear until the revelation.
7/10

tl;dr: A filler film that does a really good job of showing off the main cast in a laid back manner.
Date A Live Movie: Mayuri Judgement is a filler film that takes place after the second season. As such, it’s something that can’t have any sort of long term affect on plot which results in it having to operate within a pretty large number of constraints. Still, it does a pretty good job within those constraints wherein while there isn’t any development or progress, it still manages to play on it’s strengths in regards to the characters and action to be a pretty great film.
The first two-thirds or so of the film is Shido going on a series of dates with all of the spirits he’s sealed so far: Kaguya, Miku, Yoshino, Yuzuru, Kotori, and then Tohka. These dates are a bit different from those th…

This review contains very tiny spoilers.
I honestly was hyped. A movie? For my favourite harem series? Incredible. But after watching this movie, it seems so much smaller. Time for a review.
We'll start with the pros. The art(8), as usual, is good like the rest of the Date A Live anime series. The sound(7) was mediocre for the movie, it wasn't the specialty of the movie or bad; just normal. That's closest to any praise I can give.
Cons: The CHARACTERS(5). All the characters who weren't mains were normal. But, the character that the movie is literally named after(Mayuri) was barely featured until the end. All she did was look at Shido and his girlfriends walk around until the end, which was almost as bad. Which brings us to the story(6). It's basically the same thing; they go on dates.…

Plays like a feature-length episode and while I enjoyed the first 3/4, the last 15 minutes drag. This is definitely a character piece, although Kurumi gets very little screen time she is always a joy to watch, Miku managed to make me laugh which I didn't expect, the twins are excellent with my personal favourite, Yuzuru, getting lots of screen time. As for Tohka, well I can't fault her, she's brilliant.
The story was a step down from the previous series but the animation is still just as consistent as ever.
Overall enjoyable but the ending does drag a little, nevertheless RECOMMENDED.

It's pretty good, a snap above the original anime seasons for sure, barely reaching an 8/10 when factoring in my enjoyment and 6/10 or so otherwise. However, it does reuse the exact same formula once again, which is quite boring. It's exactly like the anime seasons and I guess the arcs in the novel. It starts with lighthearted comedy with no real plot or anything and all of a sudden, we're met with a somewhat explosive ending with a lot of drama and sometimes tragedy. As usual, the drama and tragedy is very unnecessary, even to the point of being something of a detriment since it doesn't fit in well with a story like this that doesn't have anything resembling a solid or serious plot/story. It's pretty much a new anime season compressed into one roughly third of the usual length, around 4 e…

First review in this site and HOO BOY what a piece I chose to review first.
-Spoilers will be included in this review, I'll indicate where later-
Date A Live wasn't that much of an impressive show in my book. I did somewhat enjoy it before when I wanted to catch up anime shows my friends were watching at the time, but building this new critical aspect in my mind, I saw the show as pretty mediocre. It's got meh characters and a somewhat creative setting (?) Nothing offensive. Just another harem show.
This "movie" (I put quotes because this feature only clocks in around 40 mins.) was an absolute drop of quality. Date A Live Movie: Mayuri Judgment introduces a new character and does NOT flesh her out that much. If we're getting a new character, they must be the focus of the film because T…

Garbage.
Actually just this one word sums it up really well which is why i initally only wanted to give out a one word review but MAL guidelines are like: nah tell us why you liked or disliked this anime. So here is a short +- list for this movie and a little more.
So, dont get me wrong.
Let me preface this by saying: I actually like Date A Live as an anime.
It is one of these few harem anime that focuses a little more on romance instead of comedy. Besides that even if it might be a little shallow and generic the anime was fairly well executed and the characters were lovely. So therefore I had some great hope in Mayuri Judgment, but this movie was a goddamn disappointment. Why it was disappointing? Well...:
-it felt more like an OVA instead of a movie ( e.g.: only 2 minute long dates,…

Overall, this is definitely the worst part of the Date A Live series. There’s a clear distinction between this piece of work and the works of the first two seasons. There was a clear lack of plot in this movie, and the titular character talks for about 10 minutes in the 1:15 movie. You’d have thought you’d have seen/heard more from the titular character right? Clearly Date A Live: Mayuri Judgement doesn’t think so.
Plot: 2
I’m not sure you can say this has a plot. The plot can likely be summarised in a single sentence, which doesn’t really make it a plot. 2/3 of the movie is just basically a repeat of the rest of the series with the addition of a single character who.. oh wait.. doesn’t speak for pretty much the entire movie. So there’s not many positives to do with the plot

this is not to try spoiling about the anime. but if you already watch a whole season including ova's you also going to watch this. because this part you can see the main character decision and .... i don't want to tell you more cause you need to watch this with your own eyes and you will enjoy the story line, new character, musics are really good even they use the first season op but they use it into the best part of this movie. i hope anyone can enjoy this and can feel the love of date a live. the new character will not disappoint you because the art is also good and i think overall are 10/10 like no joke man you should ever watch this before you can't watch anime anymore :D jk

Okay, first of all: There WILL be spoilers, as the main aspect I focus on this review is the story, if you haven´t seen the movie yet, don´t read this review.
I really enjoyed Date A Live I+II, because of the unique concept, and as the series progressed, it just got better in my opinion. There was one thing I noticed, but it didn´t really annoy me, the following, always repeating steps: New spirit lands, new spirit is uncontrolable, shido saves her anyway, the spirit becomes part of his harem.
I hoped for something unique in the film, but the first 45 minutes are basically wasted, shido goes on 6 dates, that are completely irrelevant for the story, although they effect Mayuri after all, I just didn´t see the sense in putting 6 dates in the film, you could do that in the anime, or an OVA or…

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIE I'VE SEEN , I got Goosebump here xD
May be some think im judging to fast , but as I concern , this movie got many positive aspect
Miku Idol Singing as the opening , Fan service pool scene , Fun harem date , heartwarming romance scenes , climax action , cool graphic animation , Character development , feels , happy ending , Good background theme.... all of them in 1 movie
Story line is 9/10
I love Date a live as a whole , this movie nailed it. Even though there are some disappointment like lack of kurumi screen time, short time date , lack of Mayuri own development, but well it is understandable and explainable.
art and sound are 10/10!!
Production IMS so far is one of my favorite Studio, hardly ever Disappoint us + Opening theme and ending theme are perf…

*WARNING. THIS REVIEW WILL BE SPOILING A FEW KEY HAPPENINGS IN THE MOVIE*
thank me later
Alright let's finish this up. If you are finding this wondering what I mean, I reviewed everything else in the series and will be giving an overall score for the series as a whole. The last one on the list was this movie. Which was a nice idea when you heard about it at the time but i wouldn't say the same thing afterwards. Either way let's get into better detail.
Story: 6
So by name alone you would think there is a new character that is going to do some judging. Except that isn't what it feels like the whole time you watch. For one thing the story is mostly taken up by the main character, Shido, going on dates with all the girls he has collected through seasons 1 and 2. The reason why isn't even ab…

This movie has really, really great ending of an Date a Live series.
I enjoyed it, I love it. No fun, this was something I never thought I would ever see. This was Amazing.
So, I just said its amazing and good ,but why it is good? Back to the review, shall we?
So, if you managed to saw every episode and OVA of DaL series (in chronological order) and then saw this you will be satisfied with whole series. I can assure you. I would be glad if there will be third season, in another words, it needs third season.
Story: 9/10
I had like zero expectation for this, because I just saw HAREM in genders and I was like: Oh great -_-. But, opposite is true. From first season, episode 3 I got addicted on this. Even if its not almost original but that doesnt matter. But the feels from some episodes/OVAs…

To summarise, a fairly satisfying ending to the whole series, although I do feel it could have been explained and expanded a bit more.
Story: 7
I feel like the story from the past two seasons seemed to work slightly better, the film was mainly comprised of Shido going on dates with everyone, which I suppose nicely rounds off his relationships with everyone, I suppose merely to keep all fans happy, although I do feel that it was rather forced, but it was enjoyable nonetheless. I did enjoy the ending, but I feel that poor character development let it down a little. I was slightly annoyed about the lack of answers towards the end, like "Who created the spirits?" and "Where do they really come from?", but hey I guess some things are just left to be wondered...

**spoiler free review**
Intro:
-It was a "decent" movie, graphically very superior to the anime series but it really lacked some plot or a better script.... this could have been just an OVA instead of a movie.
-Story 3/10
Well this is definetly the weakness of this movie, the characters have 0 development, we learn nothing new and one (and maybe two) of the girls gets literally 0 attention...
-Art 8/10
Ok, the design and general graphics quality feels way better than the anime series (imho). I would presume its just because they have a bit more of budget to spare.
-Sound 8/10
Also a strong point of the anime series shows up here in the movie, too bad the "opening" was by Miku -Izayoi- and not a new song from Sweet ARMS, so you may not find anything "new" in the sound department but it…
