‘Date A Live’ needs no introduction to most anime viewers these days as it has already established itself really well from the first season itself. Speaking of the first season, it was well received by most harem fans because of its smart comedy that was more or less of a parody of famous mecha series like ‘Evangelion‘. Though it did involve all the typical harem archetypes, it was fun to watch và was also extremely hilarious at times. But these days, it seems lượt thích it’s extremely hard khổng lồ make a proper harem anime. What started off as a show with some structured storytelling and clever humor has now turned into a disaster that keeps getting worse with each season. The sole reason why anyone should be watching ‘Date A Live III’ is to lớn find out what happens next in the story. It has a lot of links to season 1 & 2 and its story is a direct continuation; but apart from that, there’s very little in this season that deserves to be praised.

Even before this season was released, certain red flags were raised regarding its production quality which seemed khổng lồ be subpar in its previews. & though the first episode still seems to have some decent animation, the overall quality seems lớn decline substantially over the period of 12 episodes. This evident flaw, however, can be forgiven as ‘Date A Live’ was never really known for its animation style in the first place. The biggest problem with this season is certainly not its animation, but it’s the fact that the creators have literally made no attempts to lớn redeem this anime. Instead of taking risks và trying something different, they have simply used the same old harem structure adopted in the previous seasons.
Initially, the basic premise seems to lớn be just fine. The immediate problem lies in how it transitions from one scene khổng lồ another without having a proper context between them. The show just enters into new plot-lines without even giving a proper closure khổng lồ the previous one. While this may be a common problem with many Light Novel adaptations, this approach degrades the importance of the best arcs in the story. Without a proper build up, even the most important arc of the season, the Tobiichi Origami, felt absolutely soulless. This also leads to lớn further plot holes as many plot points have just been left unaddressed.
A lot of viewers have been patiently staying with this anime in the hope that it will live up to its true potential. While there are a few moments here and there that will be able lớn make you laugh, most of it seems to lớn be nothing but a snoozefest. Even then, somehow most viewers are not willing lớn give up on this anime because of all the potential that it has và again, pretty much everyone is in the hope that sooner or later there will be a better new season that we all deserve khổng lồ watch for being so patient with the show all along.
Date A Live Season 3 Release Date:‘Date A Live’ season 3 premiered on January 11, 2019 and came khổng lồ an over on March 29, 2019. During this span, it aired a total of 12 episodes with each episode being 24 minutes long. If you want to lớn know more about the future of the anime, then you should refer to lớn our preview of ‘Date A Live’ Season 4.
Date A Live Season 3 Plot:About 30 years ago, East Asia was rattled by explosions called “spacequakes” that took the life of over 150 million people. Soon, every scientist tries to decipher the mysteries of these naturally occurring explosions, only khổng lồ later give up và realize that it’s unexplainable. Every year these “spacequakes” keep coming back and again take the lives of millions of humans who remain clueless about it.
This is where a Tokyo-based high school student named Shidou Itsuka comes into the picture. He is simply a regular school going kid who has a little sister named Kotori. But his simple life is soon turned upside down when one day, Tokyo experiences one of those “spacequakes” & Shidou has khổng lồ rush into all the chaos khổng lồ save his little sister. Amid all the destruction, he finds a strange girl who he later finds out is a very powerful spirit. It is her arrival on Earth that causes these spacequakes và destroys everything nearby.
Soon after this, Shidou is rescued by an anti-spirit squad that is led by his sister. His sister tells him that the only way one can destroy a particular spirit is either by exterminating it or by making it fall in love. Khổng lồ save humanity, Shidou takes it upon himself khổng lồ make the spirit fall in love with him & starts to learn all the rules that are involved in dating a spirit. He then becomes a prominent part of the anti-spirit organization & is pretty much mankind’s last hope. What follows is a series of adventures that Shidou goes through as he starts dating random spirits và tries khổng lồ make them fall in love with him. A lot of times, this results in hilarious situations & at the same time, also proves to lớn be life-threatening for Shidou.
Date A Live Season 3 Review:The story of season 3 returns with a very familiar formula where the main protagonist Shido tries khổng lồ seal spirits lớn his body. The first arc picked up in this season involves Natsumi, who is the seventh spirit. She tries to play all kinds of mind games on Shido và his friends and throws tantrums for no apparent reason. The entire first half of this season just gets more & more stupid with Natsumi’s childish antics. The second half takes a more serious tone và introduces an old character named Origami. Again, even this half of the anime lacks proper character development but is still more entertaining than the first half with its witty dialogues and goofy interactions between Shido & Origami. There are certain emotional moments in the second half but they vì chưng not come naturally and it feels like they’re being shoved down the viewer’s throat.
Regarding the characters, as mentioned earlier, this season focuses mostly on a new one named Natsumi và also an old character named Origami. Natsume is an unlikable character and her very presence in the show becomes really annoying after a point of time. However, the part where Origami is introduced is even more disappointing because this is the arc you have high expectations from. The overall development of Origami falls flat despite all the potential that all of it had. The other supporting characters are just mere benchwarmers who add little to no value to the overarching storyline.
Coming from J.C Staff that is known for creating some memorable anime shows like ‘Toradora!‘ và ‘Maid-Sama‘, expectations were quite high from the beginning itself. Và though ‘Date A Live’ has never been known for having impressive animation, the first two seasons had their own above average moments in this department. But in this season, something seems to be very off right from the first episode. The character movements are not at all subtle và even their detailing seems to lớn be very inaccurate. As bad as the plot of the anime may seem, the animation style degrades it even further with its lack of appropriate themes & colors. The voice acting is pretty good và even the soundtracks are not too bad. But when compared with the previous seasons, the soundtracks are again below the show’s standards but this flaw can certainly be overlooked.
Overall, it’s depressing lớn see how a series which was once really enjoyable has now turned into a chore. If you have watched the previous installments of ‘Date A Live’, then simply out of curiosity, you’ll probably go ahead & watch this season. But I personally would not recommend this to anyone and I hope that if there is more of this anime, the Studio will make an attempt khổng lồ learn from its mistakes & give us something better. On a scale of 1 to lớn 10, I would only give this one a 6 because I somehow managed khổng lồ finish off the entire season. Also, I’m being a little biased here because I really enjoyed the first season and I still see some potential in it.
