Known for some of other series in the harem genre such as Akane Iro ni Somaru Saka, Majikoi - Oh! Samurai Girls, and the first season of Date a Live, one might question the direction of this sequel. Emphasis on the date.ĭirector Keitaro Motonaga crafts his ideas from behind the scenes. By this time though, it should probably be something the audience should expect from Date a Live. While it makes its point effectively, it still falls under the wish fulfillment and generic tropes. It flirts with the idea of how Shido pretends to get attention of the spirits while methodically see how they react to them. Yet, it isn’t really what’s being asked that shows the humor but rather Shido’s way of responding. While it is featured once again as a strategy to deal with runaway spirits, it has less prominence with some of the questions lacking flavor. Then, there’s the classic Date a Live gimmick: the multiple choice. Origami for instance is still her usual self and tries every single moment to get close to Shidou using some questionable yet amusing methods. The characters behave the way they should be with various personalities. While a lot of it seems repetitive, there are also other more refreshing parts such as a little gender bender not previously seen from season 1.

And while the show is still regarded as a harem, the feelings the characters show are more honest and innocent especially in the case for Tohka.Ĭomedy is indulged in this series with some welcoming aspects. His relationship with these girls/spirits almost feels like a family as they give him the same pleasure as he gives them. He finds adjustment to his new lifestyle now that Tohka, Yoshino, and Kotori are living together. On the other hand, Shido himself has become more confident. Neither does the initial set up show any improvement with other characters as they still want to get into Shido’s pants such as Origami. And this comes out as dishonest as Tohka falls for every single scenario she feasts her eyes on.

To make matters worse, the show decides to add elements from classic soap operas to appeal to these misunderstandings to somehow make them more amusing. There’s harem antics thrown in your face fused with a whirlwind of misunderstandings. The first episode has mostly anime original material but this comes off as disappointing. Still, Shidou remains the focus of the show as the bachelor as he tries to save spirits and the world. The sequel is essentially divided into two halves although the first arc has slightly less material than the second. The catch is that some of the focus on other character are scrapped to replace their stardom. After all, Date a Live II is a stardom for some new characters such as a pair of twins, new AST (Anti-Spirit Team) members, and even a rising idol. The show decides to omit various parts to get more time for the main actors and actresses. I confess to myself that the sequel is disappointing when it comes to adapting faithful material. The main concern is rush and this should be expected.

Rather than a full one cour show (the typical 12-13 episodes), this sequel only focuses on 10 episodes adapting volumes 5-7. Some gimmicky show – dating becoming the solution to save the world.īased off the light novels written by Koishi Tachibana, one noticeable attribute to this adaption is the shortened length. It continues to mush around its formulation of dating and turns it into Date a Live II continues directly after the events for season 1.

Instead, they are spirits, born with supernatural powers who are viewed as a threat to their world. While that’s partially right, it also adds additional elements because those so-called girls aren’t actually normal as part of society. As a harem show, you’d expect all the girls drooling over him. Date a Live wastes no time adapting this concept by having Shido Itsuka date various girls/spirits, earn their feelings, and kiss them to seal the deal.
