Date A Live III has been confirmed now. I love me some brainless harem anime. Gotta admit it's a guilty pleasure of mine.
Yep, watched all of it. There's just something so simple-minded about it that I find entertaining.Yeah, already knew weeks ago. Btw did you already watch both seasons? And the movie?

The movie was just a bit... meh. At least the main series has some action and excitement going for it, but the movie was just a bit... meh. It had nothing particularly interesting going on. Maybe my expectations were a bit higher given that it's a movie. I don't know how else to describe it.Glad you like it. Myself prefer first season compared to second one. Imo second season is rushed near the finale. Not a fan of the movie though. Expect better animation quality but it is just the same with TV series. Also the story is less interesting imo. The OVA is good I guess.
It's certainly hard to explain to someone else why you think the show is good. "You should watch Date A Live because, um... oh yeah! Wait, no." But I still like it. I think there's something about the general cheerfulness of the show and the lack of dread that appeals to me. The protagonists always win and they overcome all the challenges that are thrown at them, they are hardly backed into a corner and nothing "bad" ever really happens to them. The story may be simpleminded and stupid, but that's kinda what I like. It doesn't pretend to be something that it isn't. For that reason I also liked DanMachi.However, I agree if there is something entertaining about it. Maybe because of the quirky humour and harem-romance relationship tropes. As what you said being a "guilty pleasure" that is.

The 1st OVA was okay, but the 2nd OVA with Kurumi had a surprisingly refreshing story that goes beyond Date A Live's usual simpleminded harem and ecchi humour. It had an additional emotional dimension to it which was fairly surprising for a series like this.

I think Shidou was a solid MC for a series like this as well. Not much to complain about him.Agreed with everything you said mate. I was thinking the same. Also, the male protagonist, Shidou, isn't bad either. Instead he wins all the girls heart and uniting them. I guess that is also a point that makes it good.
I'm torn between Kurumi and Tohka. On one hand, you have a badass yandere who gets **** done and is rather ruthless when she needs to be, but on the other you have a waifu-tier sweetheart who can turn tsundere when she wants but nevertheless is a very loving person.Btw, who's your favorite character in Date A Live? Mine is Kurumi. I know she's a bit yandere, but in her normal state she's pretty sweet and lovely (an opposite to her Spirit form tbh). Also, she is a bit tease and kinky sometimes lol. She's also mysterious though, always popped in certain times and dissapeared again.

There was a scene where Shido tries to cheer up Tohka after he made her mad, and her being a tsundere always kind of stuck with me lol.Tohka is kind of airhead tbh, but her feelings is quite open to Shidou actually. It was Kotori that is tsundere instead imo. Guess a rather shy Yoshino is the one who neutral. Origami is pretty much kuudere but she's always going mad for Shidou lol. All girls are pretty good anyway. It is just a matter of which character that suit your preferences 👍
You should watch Date A Live because....
Rider Ishtar. Nothing else of importance that can't be obtained again.
Remind me again: Why aren't you guys watching Food Wars?
...because Kotori and Reine.
Since your recommendation, I finished the first series + OVA and it was amazingly awesome all the way though. Didn't want it to end to be honest! Loved all the hilarious (and serious) situations that Natsumi and Miyuki got themselves into with the gang and the attention to detail when it came to the cars/bikes. 10/10.You're Under Arrest is a must. Super fun.
I see you've misspelled Kurumi

Once that was done, I started ReLIFE after looking around MAL for recommendations for something light yet interesting enough and this was it. Really enjoyed the emotional chemistry between all the characters and the plot was 'slice-of-life' defined. Need that 4-part 2018 conclusion already with Hishiro & Kaizaki! (Also happened to be my 600th anime on MAL! )
Everyone likes her for her open she is... but let's be real though, what kind of special attack involves shooting yourself with a gun? Who the hell designed such inefficient witchery? Even people in Deadman Wonderland only cut themselves at most.
Homura would do it
