So it lasted only 3 eps, well 2 eps and the opening 2:30 of ep 3, but I’m done with this anime.
Here’s my short review.
I really loved season 1, I honestly did. Sure it’s a harem anime, but season 1 wasn’t all fanservice and overused sex jokes. It actually had more happening, hell there were explosions and the characters acted more normal. Season 1 ended with questions still left unanswered and Kurumi still out there somewhere, so as the start date for season 2 drew near, I became more and more excited. I watched the PV’s and liked what I saw, it’s looked like lots of good stuff would be happening and the second season would be just as good as the first, if not better. But once it started… I instantly realized something was wrong. The Date A Live I loved was gone.
Pretty much if you open any new season with a filler ep, you’ve got huge problems, then when you follow that up with an even more lackluster second ep, you’ve got a recipe for disaster. I felt cheated and just really let down by this, I wanted the Date A Live I loved to be back again, I wanted so much more in this season but they failed to deliver and I’m felt with little choice now. I can’t stand where this anime is heading and it’s just not something I feel like I should invest my time into anymore.
Here’s the progression of ep 3 that led it me dropping it.
Now I stated that I might return should it improve, but that’s going to take a hell of a lot to get me watching this again. If you’re going to keep watching it, let me know if it gets better. And by better I mean more like the Date A Live from season 1, not this sorry ass excuse they call a second season.
Thanks for staying with me for the first 2 reviews, I’d say I had fun, but I didn’t really. That’s it for me, I’m done.
If you’ve noticed I’ve made a mistake in correctly spelling a word or some grammatically error, please let me know in the comments so I can fix it.
I’d love to find something new and exciting to watch, just make sure it’s not like this one. Leave me a comment on the Recommendations page!
I’d love another new follower on Twitter, so if you’ve got an account, why not stop by and give me a shout (and follow too)!

I’m sorry that you decided to drop Date A Live II; I also really enjoyed the first season and am not happy with the way the second season is looking. I am going to keep watching it though and keep hoping it gets better and will let you know if it becomes more like the first season.

Yeah if it gets better please tell me. There is a little part of me that still wants to watch this, but I can’t take it anymore.
Thanks!

It’s okay that you dropped it man. I haven’t seen the episodes yet but your reviews make me wonder. I’m going to stick with it and hope they make the Miku Izokoi arc and the Inverse Tohka arcs good. Once I go back live on May 5th check out my reviews on Date A Live and maybe you’ll return.

Alright thanks. I’m really disappointed with this so far, but if it does get better down the road, and starts to be like the Date A Live from season 1, then I’ll come back.
