Man I used to be a diehard Date a Live fan back in the day. It was one of the first anime I watched and I defended it with my life. I even used to think Kurumi was my waifu, though I now realize it was just a silly crush.

I think the last season I watched, Tobita had become a spirit due to some time travel shenanigans, never managed to get back into it because Date a Bullet was extremely confusing. Is it worth trying again?
>>
>>287366736
but she lost

why is china so obsessed with this series

>>287366537
How did this shit end anyway? Didn't MC paradox himself out of existence because themes and such?
>>
>>287366736
>he doesn't know
The last arc is 3 volumes long, that's the lenght of an entire series and it focuses entirely on Tohka while making everyone else reject themselves.
>>
>>287366841
>Is it worth trying again
Not really, DAB wasn't even supposed to be DAL related at first. They just put Kurumi in there to trick people into watching it.

Not even that, it's pretty much an open ending where a clone with all memories of the original shows up and then it ends.

There is only one true and real ending. And that is the Reine ending.
There was already a good stopping point as the ending for the LNs was not good.

What the fuck? So what was the point of the harem?
>>
>>287367600
Literally eyecandy to for the reader/viewer. The author doesn't even like harem series, he just wrote this because harem series were big back then, before isekai overshadowed everything, and he lucked out with Tsunako as the designer.
>>
I want to ask, in your opinion, why is it that with every season of Date A Live after the second, it always gets a new animation studio? In my opinion, it's because the author Kohshi Tachibana is broke and never gets his share of the funds from the anime. What's yours?
>>
>>287367882
Season 4 and 5 had the same studio since it was planned. Season 2 was also like this before the studio in charge of S1 went bankrupt. I don't think Tachibana really cares about the anime. There is also the baffling decision of releasing season years apart, well after the novels ended.
>>
>>287366537
Today is Tohka's birthday, isn't it?
>>
>>287368367
Yeah, that's why they announced it now. Not their first time either.

i stopped watching after evil Tohka showed up a second time and then just lost interest, that said, the soundtrack is amazing for such a shitty series.

Also desu no one watch this series for Tohka. Clock literally fund the series.

Genuinely insane that DAL is getting a complete adaptation, while so many anime remain unfinished. Tohka wank will be 95% of the season and the rest of the girls basically admitting defeat because Tohka is the perfect woman for Shido. If you like Tohka and want her to win everything including Shido, you will love this. If you hate Tohka or want any other girl to win you will hate this. The author browbeats non tohka fags into submission by "proving how superior of a wife tohka is".
>>

Tohka is my favorite but I also like Clock and hope she doesn't get btfo too badly
>>
>>287376863
>she doesn't get btfo too badly
She and everyone else not named Tohka pretty much reject themselves since the author lacked the balls to make proper rejection scenes, he just make them fight in some kind of battle royal where the winner would get the chance to confess, only for the winner to say 'no, Tohka should be the one to win'. All this while Shidou and Tohka herself having no idea this retardation was even happening.
>>
>>287377231
>he just make them fight in some kind of battle royal where the winner would get the chance to confess
Okay, kinda neat
>only for the winner to say 'no, Tohka should be the one to win'.
Lmao actual self-sabotage
Jesus christ, and this is still Geek Toys, the fight animations are going to be shit too.
>>
>>287377231
With the right music this all will seem plausible.
>>
>>287377284
It may sound neat at first but then your realize some spirit didn't even have a chance to begin with, only those with actual combat prowress had a chance. That means Mukuro, Origami, Yoshino and maybe Kurumi and the twins could win, but we want to be realistic Mukuro should have won with no issue with Origami in second place.
>>
>>287366841
Same i used to love this series, sadly it went to shit after season 2

13 years later i still defend the 1st season is unironically good and really unique though.

I'm genuinely shocked that this actually got a complete adaptation. This series had a trouble production history. I mean, just look at how many different studios it got handed off to. Whoever is in charge must be a huge fan of the series to keep pushing for it to get new seasons.

RIP Geektoys. They died so Date A Live could live.

>>287379875
The studio didn't die.

S3 was so awful it nearly killed the franchise if it wasn't for China funding.
S4 and S5 are nice but sweet ARMS not doing the OP makes it soulless.

Yeah, I remember JC Staff doing a lot of shows at that time. S3 was fucking awful to watch. At least they tried to replicate the old artstyle.
>>
>>287380048
They literally stayed alive long enough to finish the last DAL season before being merged. They're effectively defunct now.

>>287380015
I wish JC Staff would die too so that they never ruin another fucking series.

>>287380060
They're not technically dead then.
Like S1's and S2's studio.

They keep making mistakes all the way to the very end.

Since no one like the way the LN ended, is there any chance we get an anime original end?

Now we just need another season of IS for Houki's win

Nope. It's a new studio. The studio that did S4 and S5 is ded.
