However, I did say "to begin with," and this is a review about the Date a Live II so I'll stop talking about the previous season and move onto the actual review. I can't compare much to the novel though so I will write this review as someone who only saw the Anime.Īs I said, the novel was funny to begin with, and the first part of the story closed nicely in the first Season. I read only theįirst novel and so decided to watch the first season when it began airing.
DATE A LIVE ENG DUB EP 10 SERIES
Tachibana Koushi's Date a Live was a very funny series to begin with. Thanks for reading my review! If you liked my writing style, would like to see some other reviews, or just want to talk, please stop by my page! I can only recommend this show if you were a fan of the first season. I hoped that we would see more character development for the previous season's characters but nope a totally new fresh cast was handed the baton and they fumbled big time. Say what you want, "Oh you just hate the IP so much that you are not being unbiased in your review." If you think you are correct then by all means leave a comment below. Since this is a character driven harem show, if you do not end up liking the cast, it's going to be a show. The decent ones from last season like I said before were pretty much sidelined and very under-utilized. None of them seemed likeable and were actually quite annoying to watch.
The newly added characters connected with me as much as a human's a$$ and a cactus. It's a real shame because some of the fight scenes actually looked pretty decent. It actually might have look better during some scenes but it really didn't wow me because it was obvious that they put the real mustard of effort during the ecchi scenes. All this season accomplished was putting new bait under Shido's belt and unfortunately I really did not like any of the new characters. And what the f$#^ leaving out some of the original characters almost entirely? Yoshino is pretty much sidelined and the only decent character Kurumi isn't utilized until the very end. This season in my opinion had a lot of "dead" spots where I just didn't give any sh$%s for what was going on. 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. 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". 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. *Takes a deep breath* Let's get this over with. If you somehow find this show appealing to watch, I recommend you watch the first season before taking this one on.
