Itsuka Shido is a high school boy. On the last day of the spring holidays, an explosion destroys the town and a girl in armor appears in front of him. Shido's sister-in-law, Kotori, tells him that the girl is called "Special Disasterous Designated Creature: Spirit", which causes a timespace quake. Kotori disclosed that she is the commander of the anti-spirit organization Ratatosk and orders him to go out on a date with the spirit girl. Kotori says, "I don't ask you to beat the spirit.

[Ovyda]

[Natsuru-san]

Yeah anytime now being between now and the next 24 hrs since when I tried to find it I got nothing except a sweet piece of info about the eps of the show.

There's not just 12 eps, oh no there's going to be an OVA ep (13th ep) due to air this Dec. See for yourself. http://myanimelist.net/anime/17641/Date_A_Live_OVA

Keiichi you can edit that into the first post if you want too.

[Keiichi Morisato]

Oh hell yes.

I'm getting more and more psyked for this.

[Ovyda]

Come on hurry up...

[Hikikomori]

I'm waiting for this too

[Ovyda]

They are so slow

[Keiichi Morisato]

They are so slow

I dont see why Commie doesnt rip the web ep like they do for RDG
If no one does it then the official TV air date is April 5th, 5 more days.
I meant the raw has been out for more than 24 hours. I saw it last night FFS.
I'd think SOMEONE woulda had it subbed by now.... geeez.

[Natsu Dragneel]

Geez Louis, why are they taking so long? The winter anime have finished and I still haven't watched other anime that were released recently

[Ovyda]

I'm losing my faith...

[Natsu Dragneel]

I'm losing my faith...

All we can do right now is wait, and also to do something while we wait for the episode to be released

[Bato]

Its alright imo. I have plenty to watch anyway and if it has aired on tv then it probably means we will get better quality.

[Ovyda]

It would be alright if I hadn't waited 24 hours for it...

[Bato]

Then dont wait for it lol. It will come eventually.

[Keiichi Morisato]

ITS OUT

Epispde was great.
Just want to see it in HD bc

Spoiler:

[Metazoxan]

Spoiler:

Yeah the video stream quality was just horrid. I don't mind if it's not HD but at least let me see the fight scenes.

First episode was a bit disappointing. We hardly get any background info on any of our characters and the "Sister" just drops the act she has apparently been putting on for so long just like that? Why is a girl her age even a commander? Why was he kept in the dark all this time? There is only a 50/50 chance these questions will ever be answered and so this series is not off to a great start. It could still pick up for one thing I like some of the character designs and the purple girls outfit looked pretty good. But if plot "twists" that make no sense keep popping up this is not going to be a good run.

You were presented with their 'basics' which is better than most anime do.
I have hopes for this and I dont want to be disappointed.

[Ovyda]

I'm not disappointed at all. It's living to my expectations so far. But we really need better quality!!!
