Date a Live

This show is about a boy named Shido Itsuka who unexpectedly gets dragged into this dangerous love story.For about 30 long years, Japan has suffered against what they now call "Spacequakes".The name makes sense considering the fact that whatever is hitting them is a big ball of powerful energy from space.Over the years, the people have went to great links to making sure they survive the next one.

Now, your probably asking yourself,"what has this got to do with Shido?" Good question and here's your answer.Turns out that Shido's energetic and carefree sister, Kotori, is the commander of an secret organization that is trying to stop the spacequakes.Also, when she's in commander mode her personality changes dramatically.She goes from being just plain innocent to straight up arrogant and bossy.I, totally, loved the Shido's reaction to her new personality and for me personally I kind of like this new attitude compared to the old her in the beginning.Her looks and attitude now go together.

Anyway, it turns out that the spacequakes aren't what people think they are at all.The quakes contain what they call "Spirits" and the form that these spirits take on are mostly beautiful girls and that's where Shido comes in.For some strange reason, they gave him the job to seduce the girls that come to their planet in order for them not to destroy it.Of course, he accepts the task and the story begins.

The only way I could describe Date a Live would be that its like watching a live dating Sim game and if you've ever played one (which you've most likely have) then you know what I'm talking about.I kind of laughed at how when a spirit like Tohka talks they kind of pause for a second so they can let the screen make a couple of choice lines for their next move and give them time to decide towards which one they'll choose for him to speak.When Shido went through his first mission I wasn't surprised to see that some of the things he said to her almost gotten him blown to bits.Why can't they just let him do his own thing and only help him out when he's in a pinch?

Also, just like in an any other Sim dating game their are other girls besides the main one to woo.Yoshino who they also call "The Hermit" would have to be one of my favorites. She's so adorable and I also like her angel and outfit very much.I think one of things I like most about her would have to be her loud-mouthed puppet, Yoshinon, who is the complete opposite of Yoshino but whenever they get separated, she either gets really quiet or she balls out in tears until she gets him back.

I wonder who will come out of the wood work next and if these spacequakes will ever end.Or will Shido have an unlimited supply of spirit women to add to his little harem?By the way, why are they all girls why aren't any guy spirits coming in this show? Maybe its because their trying to make it as similar as the dating games as possible.If so, they should make another one but this one with guy spirits instead.

Date a Live is an anime and manga so you can watch it or read it, your choice.Its filled with violence, mecha, hot girls, romance, fantasy and lots of sexual situations.I recommend this to all hopeless romantics and mature audiences.This is a very good show to watch and I can't wait to see how it ends.

Thanks for Reading!
