origin no description set. original work What the anime is based on! This is given as the original work credit in the OP. Mostly of academic interest, but a useful bit of info, hinting at the possible depth of story.

target audience Anime, like everything else in the modern world, is targeted towards specific audiences, both implicitly by the creators and overtly by the marketing. technical aspects It may sometimes be useful to know about technical aspects of a show, such as information about its broadcasting or censorship.

Such information can be found here. themes Themes describe the very central elements important to the anime stories. They set the backdrop against which the protagonists must face their challenges.

Be it School Life, present Daily Life, Military action, Cyberpunk, Law and Order detective work, Sports, or the Underworld. These are only but a few of the more typical backgrounds for anime plots. Add to that a Conspiracy setting with a possible tragic outcome, the Themes span most of the imaginable subject matter relevant to anime.

It is a shady world, unknown to most people, where illegal things like murder, smuggling, drug dealing and similar are happening daily. Groups known to be acting in this world are for example the mafia or the yakuza. This may be done for ransom or in furtherance of another crime, or in connection with a child custody dispute. episode specific. no ending segment An episode with no ending segment lacks an ending credits segment, commonly known as ED. This tag only applies to anime that ordinarily contain an ED; do not apply to anime that ordinarily do not have an ED.

The inverse case is no opening segment. no opening segment An episode with no opening segment lacks an opening credits segment, commonly known as OP. This tag only applies to anime that ordinarily contain an OP; do not apply to anime that ordinarily do not have an OP. The inverse case is no ending segment. post-credits scene A little bit of the story is found after the credit titles.

A little bonus for those patient enough! This applies regardless of if the credits play over an ED sequence, or over the "regular episode" that continues to air into the credits. A sequence at the end of an episode, showing what will happen in the next episode, is NOT a post-credits scene; that is a preview. related Character Tags? abilities Abilities are skills or competences that have applicability in some sort of activity.

Date a Live needs no introduction as the franchise had established its principle cast from the previous seasons. All we need really is some well-crafted storytelling with clever humor and this could have been a redemption of the catastrophe known as Date a Live season 2. I only advise watching Date a Live Season III if you are absolutely curious about the continuation of this franchise. a watchable experience.

Even before this aired, some red flags are raised regarding the technical elements of the show. The production quality from the previews seems to have taken a nose dive to hell. While the first episode made improvements compared to the online pre-air, the visual quality overall is at best be described as subpar.

At worst, the third season would be a fine example of a plastic broken art piece. However, I am willing to look over this since Date a Live has never been known for its art style. Date a Live III returns with the familiar formula of main protagonist Shido Itsuka as he helps to seal Spirits into his body with a kiss.

The new season introduces Natsumi, the seventh spirit who actually has two forms — a child and young adult. The first few episodes has her play mind games against Shido and his friends. However, I felt like the first arc became more and more idiotic with each passing episode.

Except in her case, she's an annoying little bitch. Then, the second half of the show aired. Oh yes, remember Origami? However, we see a side of Origami that people may not be used to. From this season, she shows a corrupted side of her character. She forsakes her friends while even attacking Shido as an enemy. Regardless what timeline she is in, Origami exposes the weakness of the main cast as a character who relies on others too much. In particular, Shido is someone she confides her emotions in although I never felt the two had a strong connection.

Even compared to relationships with others like Tohka, she always felt like a background character. The main cast returns with their mainstream personalities. The amount of witty dialogues and humor remains in the show that occasionally can draw out a few laughs. But be aware, you may quickly find most of it to be a snoozefest. If the third season really wanted to redeem itself, it could have taken risks to try something different.

Instead, it still relied on its usual gimmicks while focusing on a character that I never put faith into. Because really, I wanted Date a Live to be something more special. Instead, it came out as a garbage harem that can be best described as atrocious. Nice 0. Love it 0. Funny 0. Confusing 0. Informative 0. Well-written 0. Creative 0. More reviews by Stark Read more. Show less. So when I first heard about the series getting a third season, I was quite elated, to say the least.

However, not too long after, I received the unsettling news of the original studio that handled the previous two seasons and the OVAs, Production IMS, undergoing bankruptcy and shutting down permanently, and thus the project was handed off to JC Unfortunately, the issues befalling the studio have started to become more apparent in the season of Fall , especially during the production of the third season of Toaru Majutsu No Index.

In the process, those Spirits become his best friends and allies and also part of the self-inserted harem. The premises of the show are quite generic but not necessarily bad at all, especially with how the previous seasons depicted certain scenes and moments as fleeting moments of emotion and beauty. However, this was absolutely not the case here with Season 3. While I try to handle animation quality and story quality separately, this is one of those cases where both seem linked to each other in a bad way.

So when the animation quality dropped, so did the course and depiction of the storyline. The immediate problem I already have is how certain scenes shift so suddenly and without a proper sort of siegeway between them. Because of the entire lack of buildup between events and arcs, the scenes that are supposed to be the important chunks of the story…..

just feel abstract and soulless. There is no sense of anything emotionally invested at all, not even with the most important arc of the season, the Tobiichi Origami arc. For one particular example, during the Origami Arc, Shido, having travelled back to the past to try to undo the changing of history, seemingly dies in the act of protecting a younger Origami; however, the very next scene shows him alive and well in a brand new timeline.

Additionally, the rest of the Spirits somehow regain their memories from the old timeline without much consequence. The fact that the arc relied on an often mishandled plot element known as time travel can stir up unwarranted plot devices like that. The main focus here are the two characters with the two primary arcs: Natsumi and Origami.

She is extremely childish, and is extremely self-loathing of her original petite form. She perceives everything in a negative light, including herself. Another spatial quake warning sends him out to a ruined amusement park to meet the newest Spirit, the green-haired Natsume, who dresses like a witch and uses magical powers to render AST attackers comically ineffective.

Although things go well at first, he inadvertently offends her, and her retribution comes by pretending to be him and trying to ruin his reputation at school. When that effort ultimately gets thwarted by Origami and Tohka, she resorts to a much more involved plan that could result in one of the people around him disappearing.
