Date A Live

Nepgear Origami is the better Origami.

You don't speak for me

We should use this picture for this season's finale. I'm still hoping episode 12 is not pointless filler.

What? I'm only saying a lot of anons hate her.

Well, yeah she is a terrible character in the novel. The anime doesn't focus much on minor scenes and details so at least she is not as annoying in the anime.

At least the anime does something right with her.

Not focusing on her scenes?

Not that since her scenes were adapted. It's just she's not nearly as annoying as I expected.

>In terms of story telling, this season has been the best one yet.
If only anyone gave half a shit about the story and doesn't just want to see Tohka, Kurumi, Origami or being cute.

But the only scene they adapted where she was kind of annoying happened in a bad looking episode which made her scene not that bad in contrast.

So only clockfags?

I care about the story, hence why I pointed that out.

You sound a bit mad, do you care for the story at all?

I realised that all normalfags are clockfags. Nobody watches this show for anything else but Kurumi.

Then why all clock threads deleted, moved to /trash/ or just ignored until they die with less than 10 posts?

user, I'm talking about the general audience, not just Yea Forums. Just read some youtube comments to see it for yourself.

Well, that is obvious but I don't think there are enough normalfags watching this series since it is not popular at all this season.

Funny how Origami is the one causing the most trouble and inconvenience for others while jeopardizing everyone's lives, and not the magical inter-dimensional beings exploding whole cities. Origami really would be better off dead or having never existed at all.

I wish I still was an animeonly, back then I could watch a season with bad animation like this one and be okay with it but after reading the novels the only thing I can say about this season is that is very mediocre with the art being really inconsistent.

You can thank the modern times and anitubers for convincing people the series is shit when it's not.

I held off on reading the novels because it's better to see boobs animated. Let's be real, this series is just boner fuel.

Shidou has had to deal with a lot of shit during the series. This is not the last one, he still has to deal with even more fucked up shit later on.

Oh boy, if you think what she did was bad wait until you see what Kurumi does.

I fail to see how that is a bad thing. The less normalfags the better, if anything the fact season 2 was filled with QUALITY and season 3 is barely doing better must not be a good thing in the eyes of an animeonly.

>Let's be real, this series is just boner fuel.
Sure, I also want to jerk off after watching this.

Well, yeah. You're not being sarcastic are you?

Please, this is childs play compared what happens later in the series.

DAL is not even an ecchi series. What are you talking about? The most you will be getting is a girl in swimsuit.

>season 3 is barely doing bette
Why would I? It's managed to make me interested in the story. How many modern harem shows do that?

Makuro a shit.

>Mixed the answers.
Meant to reply to

A good amount of that shit was caused by Origami being a baby. Like her attacking imouto, Yoshino, and Tohka.

Will we get to see those tragic events this season? Or if not here's hoping for season 4. I'm interested now.

It's those normafaggots that have the power to "decide" what shows are good and bad. Thanks to those faggots, DAL is not on the radar becuase of "muh haremshit".

But why do you even care? It's not like the Youtube audience is coming here, even normalfag sites that discuss LN usually stay in their forums like AS.

Even if we get another season we won't reach the point where everything goes to shit.

What volume is the show up to now? Fuck it, I might as well read the books.

I don't think you get it. If you've gotten this far into the series, then you'd know DAL is a high risk low reward type of harem. Even in the early arcs Shidou would almost get killed or obliterated by a barrage of ice shards. In later arcs, the author takes it up a few notches and starts torturing the guy physically and mentally to the point you feel bad for him.

Volume 11.

I don't care, it's just that they're retarded becuase they think their opinion is always right.

Kurumi aside, the spirits never engaged in unnecessary fights, at most we saw Tohka fighting back but only as a warning unlike Origami who was willing to ignore his team mates and superiors orders just for her revenge to the point she dragged innocent people into her agenda.

Volume 11.

That was the whole point of her character, just a blinded girl by revenge. And becuase the DAL verse happens in a technological advanced world, she can take advantage of her surroundings.

This show just confuses me. Sure Shidou gets beat up a lot but that sense of danger is completely nulled by his regenerating abilities. Sure people get into some dark situations and mental fuckery happens but then you get lolis in bunny outfits. I really don't get it.

Thank you.

The conflict doesn't come from physical pain but rather the psycologichal one Shidou has to experience in order to seal the girls. The anime has done a bad job and explaining his point of view regarding the girls problems but it gets much worse in later volumes where even his regen powers can't help him but he also has to deal with the truth about his origin.

>sense of danger is completely nulled by his regenerating abilities.
Except that ability isn't flawless. Lolis in bunny outfits are nothing new, it's the obligatory fanservice scene. In fact, we haven't had a fanservice scene in the last 5 volumes.

>The conflict doesn't come from physical pain but rather the psycologichal one
Shido has to deal with both though, especially when most of his pain is caused by himself in the first place.

I love Miku!

That is why I said it gets worse in later volumes.

Is this a meme? I've seen this a few times in these threads already.

Not that guy but what do you mean?

I guess he is trying to be like the "Miku is worst girl" user but he uses the name Makuro because he got her name wrong twice the first time he posted it.

Like some other user already mentioned, the regen powers can't heal everything. He can die by decapitation or have his body being torn apart in pieces, even regenerating a limb can take time and he could die from blood loss.

This is one of those series that can be great until it remembers that it's generic harem shit and the protagonist is supposed to be devoid of anything resembling charisma. It's a prime example of why I hate the genre.

Why Mukuro though? I could undertand Miku or Natsumi but Mukuro is not.

>the protagonist
What's so bad about him? He's one of the better harem MCs in my opinion.

Well for one thing he's a lanky feminine gayboy.

He just mispelled her name

Not him but how about giving an actual reason instead of buzzwords.

Is that the reason? Well shit, that's a really great argument.

It's probably something along the lines of "he looks like a beta male so he's definitely a beta male".

Date A Live is the very definition of not defining a book by its fucking cover. It even extends down to the fucking MC.

I'm not sure. Remember the series was never intended to be this long and the author didn't really have anything big planned for Shidou in the original length of the series.

Doesn't really matter, he ended up getting good development as a character in the end.

Yeah but for an animeonly it's hard to see this change, the series was only extended after it proved to be popular which happened around volume 7's release. That is after season 2 in the anime.

He probably doesn't have one to begin with.

That's enough of a reason isn't it?

True, Tachibana started fleshing out his character after volume 12.

Why can't you never try to look into the shit you want to insult before insulting it?

Attached: 3.1.jpg (2270x1600, 448K)

No, If I followed the same logic then I can simply judge anything by its cover and say X series is shit because the synopsis sounds generic or I don't like the tropes used in Y genre.

That's what everyone does with anime nowadays.

Maybe if you are a casual anime watcher.

I'm also a casual anime watcher to a lot of other shows but at least I try giving it a chance before judgment. I also thought DAL was harem trash at first but I did notice the show was a bit different from other harem series I had watched up to that point. Most anons who watched it back in 2013 were only waifufags who were only in for the waifuwars, and didn't pay attention to what was being said.

That is what normalfags have been doing since forever except it used to be "if it isn't popular or mainstream then is not worth following".

That's literally how it is even today. Retards can't think for themselves becuase their retaared anitubers tell them what they should be watching.

I was talking in general but Yea Forums used to have a massive hateboner for harem series back in the days harem series were popular, some still do but the hate is nowhere near as big. Nowadays isekai series are the target.

Who /clock/ here?

I don't think is that bad like you seem to think. Unlike "gamers" in youtube, those who focus on anime videos such as "reviews" are much less popular. You still have ironic weebs that used terms like waifu or whatever because it has become more common to use than it was years ago. I'm not sure why you care so much about anime youtubers.

Harems are considered the worst genre today though. Roncoms are for some reason liked.

I was talking about Yea Forums in specific. Nowadays you can find threads with people saying how they miss the days harems were popular and some of those popular romcoms discussed also happen to be harem series.

It's not that I care, but more that people are so retarded they can't think for themselves anymore.

Is that from tsunako?

I think roncoms are boring. I prefer a series like DAL where interesting things happen but it makes me sad it'll be ending soon.

I would a clock

Yes, I mean, the artstyle should be enough to tell.

While starting Nia's volume, during the description of her day to day I thought for a second, is this Neptune's template in dal? Was I even close for a second? I'm still at the intro of this volume so I've yet to see more about her

Yep, she´s almost a Neptune clone, but without the pudding stuff, and more perv

Tsunako must have convinced Tachibana to write this character.

But if you didn't read the LN, you wouldn't know about Mukuro, Mio and Shidou, user.

Like the name implies, romcoms are mainly comedy. You don't watch/read and expect an good story, it's like reading a gag series like D-frag for the plot or the romance.

Nia is similar to Shidou in design who in turn shares a bit of Neptune in his design. Nia would be the closest thing to a Neptune clone in DAL.

I don't know. The fact she got a single volume for her arc tells me Tachibana jut asked Tsunako for a throwaway design for this girl in particular, she i also the least popular spirit in Japan ranking even lower than Miku.

Nepgear Origami is the cutest DAL nep.

10 girls are a lot, user. He had to fit 10 girls for the plot to move forward. At least Mukuro turned out to be a great surprise.

Nah, this series has so many Nepgear clones that it becomes boring after a while. It' not a surprised there is not a permanent Nepgear clone in the series.

> lower than Miku
That sure says a lot

Well, Miku shows affection for Shidou from time to time. Nia is more of a gag character at this point.

That is what happens when you get a single volume for your arc with every other girl getting at least two since Miku's arc, she is also very flat but not really a loli, she is an adult but lacks the body. It's like the author wanted to appeal to a very specific people or didn't want anyone to like Nia and he succeeded.

It feels like he had to decide between Nia or Mukuro and he chose Mukuro.

Nia feels more like a secondary character that was given a spot in the main cast for some reason so she is just kind of there. Miku, on the other hand, is annoying and even the girls can't stand her, for me she feels like the gag character.

>was given a spot in the main cast for some reason
Of course becuase Shidou had to seal her powers. Both Miku and Nia are gag characters.

There was no reason for Tachibana do that. Nia didn't even have that much of role since they extracted her crystal so there wouldn't have been any difference if she died and they gave to crystal to someone else like Mana who is supposed to be dying or maybe one of the trio or Tama-chan. He just kept Nia alive just because.

I'm talking about something else. She was the one who had a sephira crystal so Shidou had to go after her. And keeping her alive would probably be the best, the atmsphere after the death of a character would put this series on a different path.

I don't see how much it changes the tone of the series when Shidou's past and origins not to mention the hell Kurumi put him through had a bigger effect in the series. Hell, it's not like Nia was a spirit that needed to be saved since there was not major conflict in her life and she herself was willing to let him seal her.

At the time, the series wasn't as serious as it is now so the death of a character could have changed the tone a litle bit.

Date a Live? More like Date a Slut amirite?

But Mukuro's arc came next where we got some hints regarding Shidou's past and then Kurumi's arc happened which is where everything went to hell and previous to these arcs we had Origami's arc. Tachibana just didn't have the balls to kill one of the "good guys" at this point and the only reason he killed off Mio in such an anticlimatic way was because he wanted to give Tohka the final arc. He didn't allow Nia to live because it would have changed the tone of the series, he allowed her to live because he just felt like doing so.

What about her spin off novels or whatever those illustrations were

>replying to a clockfag
What are you doing?

But why does that matter now? It's not like Nia is as annoying as Miku, besides she gets bullied by Maria so I'd say it's fine.

I just don't understand why he did that. This series has too many characters to allow the existence of such character that only serves to waste time when he had a perfect chance to make another existing character relevant. In fact, watching Nia die would have been a nice trigger to show some of Shidou's memories back then.

How would that trigger his sealed memories?

I think Miku is a fun character. Her personality brightens up the mood in a lot of scenes. I don't get all the hate.

What?

I love Mukuro way too much.

The fact he failed to save a person again, the same way Shinji did.

That is something any of the other girls can do as well. However, they are not reduced to mere gag characters that had nothing else to offer. She wouldn't be so bad if she was more like Kuroko.

That doesn't quite do it for me. The same happened with Rinne and Rinne was a part of Mio who is resembles Mio more than Nia. If Shidou didn't get back some of his memories then, why would he get them with Nia?

The fact he is using a shitty memeword like that tells me he is not from these threads.

I can tell he's a retard but I was just wondering what was so funny.

Except Shidou's memories was totally wiped after the dreamworld disappeared, at best we got a reference to Shidou feeling something familiar in that girl who he was supposed to know nothing about. His memories of Mio were locked but we still got a glimpse of his past in Mukuro's arc without her using her powers to unlock his memories so saying this couldn't happen just a volume before sounds ridiculous. It's not like I said he had to get his memories back but seeing Nia dying was a similar scenario that he experienced in his past life so it would have been a good chance to get more glimpses of his past just like the name Mio in volume 12.

Except the one who died back then was Shinji, not Mio. Shinji didn't fail in saving anyone.

The word is used to express some kind of disgust in the meme. It's pretty much just taking a word and giving it another meaning.

She is rather angelic.

Attached: 1489780670984.jpg (2898x2042, 1.14M)

I'm at the volume 12, how many more until she appears?

I wasn't talking about the girl dying part but the fact he failed to save the girl the same way Shinji failed to save Mio when he died and it was those negatives memories and feelings that new body had to carry turning him into a suicidal kid.

Volume 14 is her debut. She's best DAL.

That is not unique to Miku and it's always the same interactions with Miku since she is supposed to be the comic relief.

Vol 14 it´s her debut, Vol 15 is the climax of her arc, BUUUUUUUUUUT the novel is locked with a lot of passwords, idk if someone already uploaded a ver without the password stuffs

She is certainly one of the best.

One could think the reason he was suicidal was becuase he was abandoned at an early age and he missed his mom. I doubt he knew let alone understand anything.

>password
Are you still using the Facebook group or something?

You know anons created a mega folder with all the novels right?

That was the reason given by Kotori since that is what she thought was the reason for him to be like that.

I Already have the volume unlocked, but when i was searching, everyone was saying "Go to the facebook group, blablabla" so, idk if someone uploaded the volume on the internet without password

There is a Mega link with all the translations but I don't know if it has the latest volume translated.

>angelic.
No user, that's not enough. Not including Mio, Mukuro was a goddess and she literally saved DAL for a lot of anons. After 8 volumes without an adorable girl, we finally got one. If you asked her, she would gladly cuddle with you while stargazing. I want her to win the Shidobowl damn it!

Too bad we'll never see her moving and talking.

Volume 19 is not included. Someone should upload it.

That's a good way to put it. She is my number 2, after Mio/Reine that is.

Attached: 1548274821785.jpg (826x1200, 228K)

That's just the obvious answer which is why I doubt it had anything to do with Shinji.

Too bad the amime will never get to Mukuro and Mio. Best girls will never see the daylight.

Why would you think that? Mio explicitly explained because this Shinji was like that she had to wipe his mind but this only ended up affecting him in a different way. Shidou still suffered the effects of those corrupted memories, however he didn't really know why he felt that way and that is why he was suicidal and in a zombie-like trance. This also made possible for Shidou's persona to develop and eventually take over the body.

I think someone posted volume 19 translation but it was months ago.

>After 8 volumes without an adorable girl
What about Origami?

Origami isn't exactly adorable but she's a good girl.

NeOrigami was adorable, she was also adorable during the volumes where both of her personalities coexisted before Tachibana decided the original should take over the body.

Animeonly secondary here, can someone spoil me as to why Origami's inverse mode is triggering up whenever she sees a Spirit?

I don't really know how Nia dying could evolve into him breaking the seal on his memories though.

NeOrigami is cute, too bad she's not the dominant personality. But Mukuro is literally the definition of being adorable.

Literally because "muh revenge". She hates spirits so much she is somehow able to trascend time through sheer anger alone.

I never said anything about breaking the seal but trigger some of his memories the same way it happened in episode 12 and Mukuro's arc.

No, that's not it, it's a time-related phenoma.
The timelines are trying to fix themselves. The hints are Origami's parents dying and her joining the AST. Everything is trying to go back to the way it was. Baically, it's a fixed point in time.

So there's no way around it?

That was supposed to be a joke, user.

I doubt that is exactly the case since inverse Origami was implied to appear around Natsumi's arc in the new timeline, meaning Tohka, Kotori and pretty much every arc where Origami was involved prior to Natsumi's arc played out in a different way.

Yeah, which is why the only thing Shidou can do is try to do the same he's always done. But the advantage is, Origami is no longer going berserk and hasn't destroyed the city.

Yeah, stop Origami for good.

Of course everything played differently but since Origami wasn't a revenge maniac in this timeline, I'd say she was more obedient and well-behaved compared to her other self.

It happened with Mukuro probably due to the nature of Michael, user.

I don't think she was even involved in those arcs at all seeing how she didn't recognize Shidou until they met. This new Origami seemed to be your average AST member who followed orders.

If that was the cause then all of his memories should have returned, if he planned to use a copy of Mukuro's angel to lock her powers which at that point proved to be even superior to a Dark spirit's power why he couldn't do it with his memories? It's not like Mukuro had any problem doing it two arcs later.

She was probably on the sidelines most if not all the time.

>lock her powers
I mean unlock her feelings.

It must have happened when Shidou used Hanial and copied Michael to fight Mukuro. The angel probably resonated with that seal on his memories and he was able to regain a few memories. I don't think all his memories could have returned just by using a pseudo Michael. Even when he used the real one on himself, he remember for a bit before forgetting it again.

How can that be the case when a copy is supposed to be weaker than the original yet he still was able to completely unlock Mukuro's feeling while she was unsealed, it's not like he unlocked her feelings for a brief time before they got locked again and this wasn't a problem two arcs later.

We don't know the limits of the copies. We just know that they're a bit weaker than the originals. This could mean many things. We don't know in what department the copies are weaker, duration, power, etc. In the case of Michael, it's only the act of locking and unlocking seals, so it shouldn't take that much for a copy to do the same. Besides, Mio's seal is probably way stronger than any seal Michael can pull.

I'm deeply in love with Satan. Best Origami.

Attached: Devil.webm (1280x720, 2.93M)

It's not just a bit, there is quite a difference in power and it's not like those volumes are the only instances where Shidou had small glimpses of his past even early in the series there was that dream and the those words in Shidou's head about "never wanted to see that girl making a face like that again", granted Tachibana probably had something different planned at first seeing how we got small hints of his past in volume 12 and then 14 and 15 before revealing his full memories in the next arc tells me he could have done the same in volume 13 while also giving a real purpose to Nia's character plus giving the crystal to an existing character if he really wanted to have yet another girl with a different personality in the main cast.

It all started probably in volume 12. Volume 13 happens literally after recovering from what happened to him previously but I believe Michael played a part in him dreaming about his past.

I was talking about the dream in the very first volume, I'm sure Tachibana had a different way to unlock Shidou's memories at first but after Origami's arc every other arc except Nia's had something new regarding Shidou's past until Mio revealed herself. Nia's character wasn't very well thought out and having her die could have been a way to fix this if executed well

I actually would like to see Mukuro animated.

Miku is worst girl.

Honestly user, I don't know why you're going about this right now. I think you're just overthinking.

I only was proposing an idea that could fix Nia's character and role in the overall plot, nothing else. We used to have discussions like these back in the days of speculation threads.

But she was only supposed to be a plot device, that's why she feels like an outsider.

Exactly, which is why I think there were far better ways to write her role during the arc, especially when the author is keeping her around for no particular reason.

But I don't see much of a problem. In the end Tachibana cucked her by taking away her powers.

Not sure what you mean with problem, this is just an hypotetical idea to handle Nia's character and arc in a better way while also making the cast less bloated with the possibility of making other character relevant if that is what the author wanted.

I doubt he was even thinking about that back then. For some reason, he was a bit in the dumps back then, it was in volume 14 when the quality of the writing increased.

Well, that much is obvious considering volume 12 came before it but regardless of what Tachibana was thinking I'm sure a fan of the series can think of better ways to handle Nia's arc while keeping it the same length.

Well, we got three great arcs so it's okay. No series is perfect and he had probably run into some problems for his writing to have taken a hit.

I doubt he had any problem, he was just focusing more in Qualidea Code back then since it was a collaboration with other writers who he was friends with.

I'm happy he delivered with the other arcs though.

Too bad working on QC didn't only affect the novel. It's also the reason the movie was a carbon copy of RU and why the 'third game' was a single short route.

You can't really blame him. He had a lot of work to do during that time, he was also working on the QC anime.

>lot of work
>ends up putting the bare minimum effort into everything
>all this even after two delays of the main novel
It would have been justifiable if the movie had a completely different and original plot and the game actually was a full game with new routes and to top it off, the volume that featured the MC in the cover had and still has the worst writing in the series.

Come on user, every series has its ups and lows.

That is not excuse, he is supposed to be a 'proffesional' writer and this is his job, even if he was working on QC at the time he should have focused on his main series rather than a side project.

Humans are not perfect, we all make mistakes. He made a mistake but he quickly fixed it. Isn't that enough?

He didn't fix the movie, the third game or volume 12. The point here is not that I'm trying to criticize his work but the fact one shouldn't just excuse everything the author does, that is only something a blind fanboy would do. If you truly are a fan of the series you should be able to tell the flaws in the writing since this could serve to reinforce and explain why you like a series so much.

>she immediately becomes irrelevant after her arc
Are you retarded?

>she falls into the same syndrome every other girl faces in this series where she immediately becomes irrelevant after her arc
You didn't even bother reading the novel past her arc, right?

I'm not a fanboy. I never said volume 12, the movie or tha game were good did I? I jus said he clearly made a mistake.

This image could easily be made into a meme.

What? She managed to free Artemisa from DEM's control, she helped to unlock Shidou's memories, she is also one of the strongest spirits in combat. When did she become useless?

It was thanks to her that everyone managed to save their classmates and other civilians from DEM in volume 19 too.

Yeah but then you said he fixed that mistake, fixing would mean he tried to make volume 12 irrelevant or not acknowledging it exists. We will see what happens with the new game but there is not fixing the movie.

I normally post it to show my superior taste
I still can't think of how to meme it though

Now they have a reference for her ice armor, the chances of them fucking it up are higher.

It kind of reminds me of that "surp" meme of 2017 of the white cat from Rokudenashi.

So the translator is doing DAB and he posted this. What do you think?

Attached: fs.png (490x128, 11K)

Think what exactly?

About the whole situation, we're still wondering what DAB is even about. Since he's translating it it might be worth giving it a shot.

This is a series where everyone must love Tohka or live under her shadow. This only shows that even Kurumi ranks below Tohka in Tachibana's eyes, to no one's surprise.

? We know what DAB is about, we always get a small summary along the LN ones. The spin-off is just too irrelevant since it doesn't even expand on Kurumi's character and whatever development she could get doesn't apply to the novel since Shidou already rewinded time creating a different timeline, meaning DAB is happening in an entirely different continuity.

Apparently the scene he'stalking about is this one, where Shidou makes a cameo but it's the first time I ever hear of Tohka.

Attached: 10.png (702x960, 586K)

average

Well, relevant or irrelevant it might be worth to read it to kill time. Just think of it like the Fate series and its different spin-offs.

Kurumi isn't supposed to be herself in the spin-off apparently so that means her memories of Shidou might have become blurry after she died.

Not really a good comparison when newer fate spin-offs aren't necessarily focused on good writing and unlike the Fate series, the good DAL spin-offs are actually connected to the series rather than just take the premise or idea and use it for something different that could have been its own standalone series but with the logo of the series slapped on it. AST was kind of like the railgun of this series since it explored Origami's story when she wasn't fighting spirits or stalking Shidou, it also became irrelevant after Shidou changed time ironically, but at least whatever happened in the manga was actually connected to the series. I can't really say the same about DAB.

She doesn't remember anything of the other world apparently.

But it's not like DAB isn't conected to DAL. The fact that Shidou and Mio are mentioned means it's conected. Doesn't matter if Shidou changed timelines, DAB is happening in the other world.

But that is exactly where the connection ends, like I said before it's different to have a series that is actually connected to the main one that just taking elements from the it then say they are related when is not only happening in a different timeline but also an entirely different world with the main girl having a different personality than in the main series. To make things even worse what is exactly the purpose and main destination of this spin-off? Kurumi getting her memories back? But what would be the purpose of that when she is dead and even if she somehow manages to revive she would be still trapped in a world where the other spirits are dead, Shidou probably is not even there and Mio of all people is alive and with the main novel already focusing on a different character that makes whatever happens in DAB totally trivial.

This is a spin-off you read it if you want to kill time with something that has the logo of the series slapped on it because that way the reader will have something familiar to keep him/her reading even if the series is too different.

Chink dal DALS.

?

That Shidou and Nia almost look the same but with different hair color.

I want Mukuro's arc animated!

That wouldn't be a good idea.

Fuck off, Kadokawa. I don't want to see other of my favorite arcs ruined.

Shes shit though.

It's Makuro.

But it's Mukuro anons, I can't bear the thought of not seeing her moving, talking and acting cute!

t. Ellen

Yeah, I too want to see her being drawn like a caveman.

t. Dark Tohka.

But season 3 has good looking episodes too.

How?

Only episode 2 and last one had good enough art I would consider "good", that sitll doesn't change the fact Mukuro would look bad half of the time assuming the quality doesn't drop any further.

user, I love Mukuro as much as you do but the reason this season got so much shit is becuase JC had a lot of other shit to do. You know deep inside that if they had less shows to work on, it would have been different.

...

and that doesn't seem to be changing any time soon, JC is planning to work in several index spin-offs and maybe more popular series they will pick up along the way.

Just be glad that Nia's body isn't like this.

Well user, the thing is JC is the one studio that has the animation rights of DAL now, so if another season is ever greenlit, it will be them that will do it.

Which is why I don't want another season even if the chances are zero at this point.

? Nia's body doesn't appeal to anybody, not even nips like her and that's saying something.

Even long hair would make her more attractive, I think the problem with Nia's design is the fact she looks too much like the MC and nips probably think the same.

Can't wait for Japan's reaction to OPM.

Don't worry user, it'll probably never happen but I myself want it becuase I want to hear Mukuro talk.

I don't think that is worth ruining her image.

How could you say that? You know how much Mukuro is worth right?

But Nia doesn't look like Shiori.

Only Miku would say that.

Looks like everyone is going nuts for OPM. Well, I sure hope they finally realize what's like to be in pain after seeing your favorite show be destroyed to pieces. Thanks JC.

Fuck off Miku.

It will be CGI.

You know after reading novels I have a massive respect for Shido, he has to deal with really fucked up shit caused by girlsand he constantly gets injured while doing it, I'm glad he got his power up, he deserved it

I'm confused, origami went back in time to kill the spirit who killed her parents but at the end it turned out she was the one who did it, then how her parents died in first place? People were right time travelling stuff is such a headache

Time travel is inherently illogical. Just don't ask too many questions about it.
