    Interesting premise with mixed follow up.

    The original premise was moderately unique but it quickly turned into a more generic Harem anime.

    That said during the three current seasons there are times where the show again rises to a higher level making it worth muscling through the lack luster filler.

    Great Anime and order to watch it.

    This is a quite fun anime with good characters and an MC that you will love/hate sometimes.

    The first and a half seasons are more relaxed, focusing on the characters, comedy and fanservice, the second half of season 2 and seasons 3 and 4 focuses more on action and story development and have parts of mistery and season 5 (for me the best one) finishes a big part of all the story we know (except if you know the light novel's or you focuse on the last scene).

    Sadly seasons 4 and 5 have CGI because of low budget (at least season 5) but are still enjoyable. I hope we get a season 6, movie, OVA or spin off because this show deserves it.

    The order to watch this anime is:

    1. Season 1

    2. OVA 1:Date to Date (in this page appears as ep.13 of season 1)

    3. Season 2

    4. OVA 2: Kurumi Star Festival (in this page appears as ep. 11 of season 2).

    5. Movie: Mayuri Judjement (You can watch it if you want but its not cannon).

    6. Season 3

    7. Season 4

    8. Spinn off: Date a Bullet: Dead or bullet

    9. Spinn off: Date a Bullet: Nightmare or Queen

    10. Season 5.

    One of the greatest animate

    "Date A Live" stands out as a captivating and entertaining anime that skilfully blends thrilling action with romantic elements. Its unique concept of using romantic encounters to seal devastating spirits from another world results in an intriguing narrative and unexpected twists and turns.

    The characters, notably Shido Itsuka and the female spirits, are well developed, each bringing a unique dynamic to the story. High-quality animation and impressive action scenes add a visual dimension that delights audiences. Light-hearted humor, judiciously integrated, adds a touch of levity without compromising the seriousness of the issues at stake. In addition, the anime successfully explores the evolving relationships between the characters, adding emotional depth to the overall story.

    "Date A Live" is a refreshingly entertaining experience, seducing viewers with its originality, engaging characters and successful balance between different genres. And finally, Kurumi, oh Kutumi, is my favorite character (I'll say no more).

    DAL is one of the best if not the best series out there.

    Date-A-Live is much better compared to other harems which rely on fanservice for popularity. Date-A-Live have a robust story and awesome character development, Kurumi's existence in this anime alone makes it miles better than other animes.
