| Kotori, Origami, and Kurumi all getting some screentime next arc, hype time hehe. Also the still shots were awfully timed, leave it to poor production to make this sequel look even worse. |
| Episode was a slight disappointment but whatever. Natsumi's arc was getting pretty stale. And this upcoming arc I hope is only 2 episodes because it's pretty predictable what will happen with Origami. They need to bring back Kurumi immediately. That will Spice up this anime. |

The next arc will most likely be the rest of the season, at least as long as most of it is adapted. By the way, I do doubt it's as predictable as you think. You might think it'll be predictable, but oh boy, you will see yourself wrong. Origami's arc is a fucking ride. That's where Date A Live gets really good, in my opinion. It's really great. You will already see why. ;) On another note, the fight was alright, but too many still images. I hope they still have budget to properly animate the next episodes... |

Your words are definitely something to look forward to!! |

Hm... But the movie is the same. Her chest looks flatter just in that outfit (or its half-astral-dress variant) for some reason. |
| I've never really complained about the animation but damn, it really took a nosedive in this episode, we have not only the weird faces but also a lot of still shots.....in the middle of a fight (this really reminded me of the final battle in Qualidea Code when you can even hear conversations but only see still shots, then they fixed it in the BD version xD). Also, excuse me but wtf, Yuzuru has bigger tits than Miku and Tohka is flat? lol  Leaving aside the animation, the episode was fun as always, Miku's giant pout was hilarious, it's great to see Kotori transformed and I never imagined that Natsumi was the lollipop. And she was finally sealed, I loved how she was embarrassed and then she just went for the kiss, the scene after this was very funny too.   Now it's time to save Origami I guess, let's see how it goes. |
 Well another loli gets added into Shido's harem..... Sp what about Origami, what's she gonna do now , be Shido and harems' enemy or what????? |
| I feel like it's getting worse every episode. I don't know but, it's not the same like season 1&2 anymore. |
| Natsumi so cute xD and also kiss scene too. |
  |
| Thank god Shido didn't eat that lolipop. In the end he did though. FBI is cumming for you. |

| natsumi joins the harem lol |
| I loved this episode, Natsumi finally manages to open up to Shido and everyone else and the harem expands even further! Also glad to see Kotori back in action once again even if it was just for a moment there. Hmm... now to deal with Origami, how will things turn out in the end? Waiting for the next episode! |
 |
| And thus ends the Natsumi arc. We have a loli Witch Haremette now. |
| Officer I can explain |
| Are we really gonna make it..? |
| What is this series worth if even the art is garbage? Not like they give a shit about storytelling or action or humor. Good god. |
Origami lookin' like a snacc in that armor |
popei said: where tf is tokisaki? she needs to come out and save the show before i drop it yeah but let's hope that she'll have a good design :( |
| It's been a while since Kotori did something in her spirit form, It was really nice seeing her in action again, and Natsumi is now finally part of the team, while Origami will now fight against Shido and the others. |

| The still shots looked pretty good. Sure better than animation. Makes me think I'd like it more if it was a picture drama :/ |
JonasDown said: That was probably the worst decision they took, they rushed the climax of Natsumi's arc in this episode when it should have been at least 2 episodes to adapt it properly. I know Origami's arc is incredible from beggining to end but it didn't make me happy Natsumi's arc suffered due to that. True, they skipped soo much here, but not only that, but from an animatio n standpoint, this felt soo BAD. I have been criticizing others for nonstop talking about it, but on this ep5, it really deserved to be something to give JCstaff some shit for. At least I got to see some more of Natsumi's cuteness, but damm lord those cuts on animation!! |
 |
| I didn’t expect Natsumi to actually start bawling like that... Origami looks nice in that armour. |
 |
| Needs more of Kotori angel mode pls! Shido didn't even question where the green lollipop was from when IMPOSTOR Kotori disappeared. If he thinks about it again, chasing Natsumi who was in his pocket all along was stupid. But anyway, Natsumi helped, apologizes and kissed Shido to seal her powers. So that's the end of that. Mow I'm excited about Origami after she has been upgraded to 1 shot that big bomb. |

| That candy placed at heart looked like it'll stop his heart being hit later or something.. Maybe, I'm just imagining things.. Also that thanking Kotori seemed like a flag.. Damn, I'm nervous.. ;p Oh, we needed Kotori's transformation as well.. ;p And such a badass gun.. .. Though.. Maybe she'll be shown to Origami like that.. Shit.. Oh.. So candy was Natsumi all along, man.. ;p Hm.. Natsumi actually apologized to everyone.. So Natsumi's kiss.. In her case it looks like she wasn't really in love with Shido, but more had other feelings.. Being grateful for everyone's friendship, support, and everything.. And she decided to trust Shido to conceal powers, more than she actually wanted to kiss Shido.. As it appears to me.. I wonder, if she'll be less loving Shido, and more on friendship terms with him or something like that.. Origami seemed very serious.. Maybe she already knows that Kotori is involved and everything?.. In any way.. Please no killing Origami or anyone.. ;( |
| It was a touching conclusion to the Natsumi arc. I'm not really hyped for the next one, but let's see. |

| I don't get why people complain about the animation so much. Instead here I am complaining that the story is damn generic... again. |
That was great. When the harem side of the anime isn't the focus, it's a really good time. |
 |
| Natsumi is so cute, i love her! |
| im kind of confused here, how did Natsumi knew that her powers could be sealed? iirc none of the other spirits knew powers could be sealed, and im pretty sure they didnt talk about it when they first met in episode 1... aside from that, they never talked much |
 |
| all togethers saved the city!!! kekeke |
| Natsumi transforms into Kotori. Miku slaying dat top. Ellen is in Shido's home. Why would you threaten House-san? Dat satellite. House-san is saved. Kotori enters the fray. Dat fire. Its gone. Another one? Natsumi may be my least liked Spirit, but her Witch powers were always cool. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| Does this mean I finally don't have to watch Natsumi act like an annoyed brat with issues? Holy shit these first 5 episodes were really bad and the animation.. yikes. More of Kotori, Kurumi and Origami and less of those other characters please. |
