So, by "restrained," it's not as liberal as season one's script? So Kurumi isn't going to break out into a gun control rant out of nowhere Diva is just Miku's codename. And I've always believed she had one of the most well-developed figures of all the Spirits, but that's just me I'm happy to hear that the season 2 dub voices are better on average compared to season one. I'm interested to hear how the Twins sound in English and Jad Saxton as Miku |

| It seems Theron and I are in agreement on quite a bit about this season. I would second the suggestion of watching the first season if it has been a while since you last saw it. I ended up going back after I watched the first episode of season two and realized I forgot quite a bit. I'm also in agreement that Kurumi ended up being a big highlight this season, and that the OVA episode ended up being my favorite out of the whole season. | |||

| Leaves a lot unanswered, yes, spoiler[but some those questions only get answered in the most recent LN's.This season is only a small prelude to what a third season (if there ever is one) will show us.] | |||

Yeah, I think the only thing that disappointed me was the open ending. Which, I knew would be the case, but it still loses marks for it. Really hope we get a season 3 soon, but I have no idea how many LNs the 2 anime seasons have covered.
Still, the bigger disappointment would've been not enough Kurumi...but she appears later on in the season, so I was happy to see that. Thought they had forgotten about my favourite character. |

I already own season one and I've seen season 2 and I know I already like it; What's stopping me from buying it is the episode count. I don't even have a problem with the lack of an ending since it's a LN adaptation and I never expect endings when it comes to those.
10 episodes plus a DVD/BD only OVA. Even the ten episode second season of Is this a Zombie? offered up two OVAs to fill out time. Here, somebody's saving money somewhere but it wouldn't be me. I can see myself getting it at some point even if I'm not that excited about it. It's not the ne characters, I have problems with the show's structure. Really, it's such a basic series Every book is about a spirit and every adapted arc is the same so what you expect is what you get. I can give the ten episodes of Is this a Zombie? higher regard because while the first season has two clear stories, the second season seems to have two or more squeezed together... or one stretched out, it's hard to tell. Date a Live 2 has such a clear demarcation that I end up looking at the episode numbers like it was a counter on a DVD and I know at a certain episodes, the current story will wrap up and the whole thing will just start over completely. It's not as bad as the The World God Only knows manga but that series at least has stronger leads. |

PSA: This release of Date A Live II does not contain the Japanese Director's Cut of Date A Live II as shown in the Japanese home release, which contains around 40 minutes of additional scenes and content across the 10 episodes. Albeit, the visual upgrades of the Japanese home release version is present in the Funimation's version (such as fixing animation errors from the TV broadcast version).
In short; Date A Live II D.C. version is vastily superior than the "TV" version, and it is the definitive version of Date A Live II. I'm very disappointed, because I wanted to watch and enjoy the English dub of season 2, but I will not watch the inferior version over the D.C. version. |
