Since they are all now close friends, these dates don’t hold the same kind of meaning anymore, hence the little character development. In the first and second seasons, dates were used as a way to forge and deepen the relationships between Shidou and the rest of the main characters. Moving onto the characters themselves, there really isn’t any development at all. One thing that I kept asking was what the heck is the big-ball-of-doom doing there? The relationship between that and Mayuri’s presence is constantly hinted at during the “climax” battle, but it’s never fully explained and thus we end up taking it at face value. Nothing spectacular come out of these dates, and we learned nothing new about the characters that we did not already know.Īs for the climax itself, talk about messy, messy, messy.

But having Shidou go on six dates for the first 45 minutes of the movie was really unnecessary and dragged the plot on and on.
Something as simple as two people spending time together as a way to seal up the worst of the worst.ĭoes this happen once again in Mayuri Judgment? Certainly. Whenever a problem comes up in the form of a new character, tensions among various characters, or some kind of event, how do the characters resolve it? That’s right, a date. And to answer: well, let us boil down exactly what happened in the past two seasons. With asking a totally legitimate question. “Formula? What the heck are you talking about? What formula is this?” you may ask. Where Date A Live goes wrong, however, is that, instead of coming up with something new, the writers choose to recycle the same generic formula once, twice, and now thrice.
Using dates to save spirits from their misery is certainly a concept that you do not see often in the romance genre (except maybe The World God Only Knows? Just maybe?) and this was initially executed in a very interesting way. From the very first episode in Season 1, Date A Live was definitely unique in its set-up.
