Date A Live V

Shidou Itsuka faces greater peril than ever due to his continued involvement with Ratatoskr. He has already sealed 10 Spirits, and Isaac Westcott, leader of Deus Ex Machina Industries, has finally decided to kill Shidou and plunder the Spirits' powers for himself.

To achieve his goal, Isaac declares an all-out war against Ratatoskr, forcing the organization to exhaust its resources to ensure Shidou's survival. Despite being severely outnumbered and outmatched, a glimmer of hope exists in the form of the Spirit of Time, Kurumi Tokisaki. Shidou must seal and acquire Kurumi's power to travel to the past and confront the Spirit of Origin—the catalyst that started it all.

What can I say, is it a 10/10 worthy. No not really but after 11 Years, five Season and a lot of dates, in the end, it's a 10/10

Date A Live doesn't hook you up with great animation (at least since S3) There Character development isn't great either (for an Anime with 5 Seasons) and the Plot is kinda messed up at some point.

BUT it will give you a weird feeling. A feeling you can't explain and will keep you awake for nights. The Story, The Characters, The bonds between them and the emotions they create made it a 10/10. Big probs to SweetArms ... for the great soundtracks they made for the hole series.
Thanks for this special Anime

Mixed Feelings

Shidou is a character that I think has not developed very interestingly. He has a flat character dimension. Throughout almost 60 episodes, we do not see any clear changes. What is dating but let others point fingers and tell him what to do from the beginning to the end, even though dating is something specific to two people. The actions should come from Shidou's heart, what he really wants to do, not for others to think for him.

Although this story is a harem, it does not fully bring out its emotions. The service scenes are ordinary. The distribution of roles to some girls is also ... low. It's like after the date ends, they become support characters instead. It might be because there are a lot of characters.

The action scenes do not feel particularly exciting. Shidou, who should be the strongest, looks strangely weak. It might be because Shidou is just an ordinary student. But even so, he has no training in fighting.

In the end, this anime really has girls carrying him, but it still cannot fully bring out the emotions. Although the previous episodes were not very impressive, the last episode did a good job of making the audience sad with the story and I'd be happy if the anime ended like this rather than ending like the novel with a bad ending, because the novel ended too sadly.

Imagine having a show with a concept that could be interesting with a entire lore and some great character desings to watch, but you screw it all up with the same stereotypes of an action romance anime with loli shit and plot holes to make this concept a complete joke and when you finally try to fix everything for the fifth part, you screw up again and finish it like hell.

Date A Live is a perfect example with everything wrong with modern writing and how not to make a story in fact. And this season shows how it took a long time for its creators ... to become interested in this show so that in the end they returned to the same thing.

1. The plot and the development in this series has always been a joke, but in this season, the plot here is very rushed and loose at the same time similar to season 4, the main characters are more annoying and stupid like the last two seasons, Even the villains are not saved but at least they are more bearable and interesting to watch.

2. The battles are quite boring and forced that it seems like they are talking rather than fighting as if it were a bad parody of some shonen anime, the worst battle is when the protagonist and the villain see each other and confront each other, throwing their power, but as the protagonist is useless and air-headed, they end up giving him a kamehameha out of nowhere, like seriously, what kind of ridiculous power up is this?. And the animation and CGI looks like it was only made for the PS Vita or the 3DS.

3. The plot twists are the worst part of this series, with pure cheap excuses out of nowhere to expand the lore, but this season they excelled and gave one of the worst plot twists in history, that resuts that the protagonist is the reincarnation of another guy who looked like and the worst part is that the girl who started it all was the one who fell in love with him and made him born again giving him that rubbish about using the powers of the spirits. I mean WHAT IN THE HELL IS THAT ?

4. And the worst part of this entire season in the final, where the main characters and the villains face each other for get the girl from the origin in a tense battle that doesn't last more than 2 minutes where in the end both sides are sad for the loss of those who died in the battle, the rhythm of the scenes is suddenly broken to go to a generic timeskip and the end credits with a awful powerpoint presentation. And yeah, this ending is even worse than the visual novel ending and the Attack on Titan & the My Hero Academia endings.

I mean the Date a Live visual novel is bad too but at least they gave some characters more time and history and explained what happened to them afterwards, something that never happens here.

It's incredible how a series like this has gone from bad to worse over time and that's not surprising to see in this industry, And yes, this season was one of the worst i've ever seen so don't waste your time on this
