Final season has been officially announced
>>287366537YOU IDIOTSWE ALREADY HAD THE HAPPY END. YOU COULD'VE STOPPED IT RIGHT THEREWHY CONTINUE FURTHER TO THIS
>>287366552fuck you, my wife need more animation
>>287366537Man 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?
>>287366736but she lost
why is china so obsessed with this series
>>287366537How did this shit end anyway? Didn't MC paradox himself out of existence because themes and such?
>>287366736>he doesn't knowThe 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 againNot really, DAB wasn't even supposed to be DAL related at first. They just put Kurumi in there to trick people into watching it.
>>287366537Announcement PVhttps://youtu.be/zphlj3rzJoM
I don't get it. Why are they even bothering at this point, no one even gives a shit. Who the fuck even wishes to see Tohka's victory lap for an entire season?
>>287367223Tohkafags (all 2 of them)
>>287367034No you retard, he just ends with Tohka
>>287367252Not even that, it's pretty much an open ending where a clone with all memories of the original shows up and then it ends.
>>287367034Yeah that's it basically.
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.
best girl btw
>>287367059What the fuck? So what was the point of the harem?
>>287367600Literally 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?
>>287367882Season 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.
>>287366537Today is Tohka's birthday, isn't it?
>>287368367Yeah, that's why they announced it now. Not their first time either.
>>287366537i 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.
i only watch this for clock after season 2
>>287366736lol no one tells him
Wife (true) route
>>287367034Baddie dies. He gets the girl
>>287366888>>287367059>>287369998LNfags, how much screentime Kurumi got in the last volume ? Also didnt all of them lose their powers ? Also desu no one watch this series for Tohka. Clock literally fund the series.
>>287370876author is just like the Infinite stratos guy who forces his shitty main girl no one likes
>>287367034Entire harem cucks themselves so only Tohka wins. No harem end because uhhhh fuck you
>>287366537Haha, hope you faggots will love Tohka wank for the whole season!Beautiful IS v2.0 finale with another author forcing his waifu on fans who preferred literally anyone/anything else.
Tohkachads... we won...Also Origami a shit
>>287367915Didn't the chinese fund these because they liked the show or something?
>>287366537Always glad to get more Tohka
>>287370876>>287372211>>287368367>>287367223>>287367034Genuinely 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".
>>287366552Clockfags on suicide watch, Tohka GODS won
>>287366552Tohka needs 12 episodes
I'm glad Shido doesn't get my waifu.
>>287373483>>287373616>>287372294Wow Tohkafags are more than just 2 dudes!
For me it's YuzuruKurumi is my 2nd place
>>287372211>>287373521I think Tohka's alright
I take the retard that lacks basic morals because only I can handle that.
>>287376241I don't think she'd be in my top 5.The dumb genki girl isn't usually my favorite, I have a high standard for them.
>>287373521Tohka is my favorite but I also like Clock and hope she doesn't get btfo too badly
>>287376863>she doesn't get btfo too badlyShe 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 confessOkay, kinda neat>only for the winner to say 'no, Tohka should be the one to win'. Lmao actual self-sabotageJesus christ, and this is still Geek Toys, the fight animations are going to be shit too.
>>287377231With the right music this all will seem plausible.
>>287377284It 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.
>>287366841Same i used to love this series, sadly it went to shit after season 213 years later i still defend the 1st season is unironically good and really unique though.
>>287366537Based. My first LN ever.
>>287366537Wow, really? I thought for sure that they rushed the last season just so they could finish it since the anime studio producing it died.
>>287366537I'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.
>>287379940RIP Geektoys. They died so Date A Live could live.
>>287379875The studio didn't die.>>287379940S3 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.
>>287379977Yes, it did.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geek_Toys
>>287379977JC Staff also did OPM S2 & 3 and Index 3, so that tracks.
>>287379996>merged with it's parent company in 2023>DAL V is 2024 and another show in 2025Uhhh, am I missing something?>>287380015Yeah, 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.
>>287380048They literally stayed alive long enough to finish the last DAL season before being merged. They're effectively defunct now.
>>287380015I wish JC Staff would die too so that they never ruin another fucking series.
>>287380060They're not technically dead then.Like S1's and S2's studio.
>instead of trying to replicate S1/Tsunako designs, they are just reusing S4/5 style againThey keep making mistakes all the way to the very end.
>>287366537Did she deserved to win?
>>287381322Yes.
>>287367458literal who?
>>287381322After the faggot author dragged Yoshino through the mud like that? Fuck no.
>>287380276Why would they change course? Isn't it still the same studio that did S4 and 5?
Since no one like the way the LN ended, is there any chance we get an anime original end?
>full adaptation of Tohka's victoryBasedNow we just need another season of IS for Houki's win
>>287383935Nope. It's a new studio. The studio that did S4 and S5 is ded.
>>287383988Infinite Stratos is just permanently unfinished right?
>>287383988God, I haven't thought about IS for years. All I remember is Houki being an insufferable cunt.
Mio is the true wife>She's deadI don't care
>>287384199For me it's Rinne.JC Staff making her look awful pissed me off.
>>287383988Wow that woman looks like tohka
>>287383988That shit is in permanent hiatus, what we need is a new season of assasins pride now that the hiatus is over
>>287381322No
>>287384670>DAL's HarunaLiterally the plainest design from the start
>>287366552Go read Kurumi Tokisaki sequel, happy ending is more seasons and stuff.
>>287384199She and Shin literally reunited in the afterlife, she basically won at everything there is worth winning.
>>287379940Kurumi is the biggest carry in the history of japanese animation.
>>287385550>he doesn't know about DAB's failure
>>287385696Didn't help that the adaptation was 2 twenty minute THEATRICAL releases that got rid of her world hopping lesbian harem adventure
>>287385550Too bad her actual series can't move shit. Doesn't she have two side series?
>>287381322Nah
>>287381322Only because she's so stupid that she needs far more support than the others to live a functional life.
>>287366537Date a powerpoint
>>287386865Girls are the cutest when they're almost retarded
>>287387908Yes but there needs to be a balance.Needing to be completely babysat is not the way.
>>287383988IS dont have clock to fund the anime
>>287388139At least its Season 2 didn't look like pure ass, even if I like DAL more than IS.
>>287385848>her world hopping lesbian harem adventureher what, I watched the two episodes and there was thing lezbo about it
>>287366537>complete adaptationHow many long running light novels got the same treatment?

>>287379940DAL has killed 3 animation studios and yet somehow it's still getting a full adaptation. The merch sales must be huge.
>>287389917I've spent around 100k on Clock so far
>>287389790>Emilia > RamShit opinion. Everything else you say is irrelevant because you have shit fucking taste.
>>287389961>he actually bought the 1:1Holy shit. I don't even have words. Just... holy fucking shit.
>>287366537I will never understand why they went for a mono ending All the other spirits will just invertThis is retarded
>>287376863If the author really wants his mono ending for some reason then he must give men to all the other spirits as well.
>>287389790Nah. Miku is hot. Her arc being DGD is also hot.
>>287389961Based anon funding the anime
>>287390070they've lost all their reiryoku when mio died, retard
>>287390837That’s retarded too. Them having powers was kino
>>287386960>anons actually think S2 was worse than this
>>287385527>afterlifeYou mean hell
>>287388139>clock funding anythingIt's Mukuro.
Speaking of clock funding the show, I sure intend to help her do that at Japan expo this yearI hope they have clock merch
Tohka won so anons could win the other girls
>>287391135S3 makes S2 look like a competent production.
