I have heard about this anime in a very long time, of course I have a plan to watch it, I really do but there's just something about it that makes me think "meh, I don't think that I would like or watch this at all" or "is this even worth the time?", I have these doubts inside my mind.
What are your thoughts about it?

It's just an enjoyable romcom harem.
You don't come here for mindblowing well written plot, you are here to chill & cute girls.
The MC is also quite good, because he is forced to actively pursue them not like the other neverending dense harem.

It's one of those harem shows that makes me think "Okay, this could've been great, why did you have to make it a harem?!" I genuinely liked both the plot and its execution, but if you are not into harem anime, it's gonna be a turn off for you. If you are fine with harem though - I really recommend it.

1st season is good, 2nd and 3rd not so much, ovas somewhat save the day and date a bullet spinoff is great. It's overall kinda corny, and animation quality really goes down every episode. Comedy is passable. If you end up not liking it, you won't have any problem dropping it.

It's pretty much your average harem anime with the same dense protag

It's a mid show overall, but you should watch it for Kurumi alone.
She singlehandedly carries the entire franchise and without her this show would be completely forgettable.

It's a nice Harem show, nothing too ground breaking. 3rd season really sucked tho.

Date a live was like one of the first Harem animes to really become popular. If you are looking for something deep don’t bother with this series. If you are looking for a show with lots of fanservice than you might want to give it a chance.

If you're into fanservice than yes. Writing is subpar for this one.

The plot is trash and boring, the animation is mid, but if you like harem, give it a try

Yes it is worth watching, well if you like harem and super power stuff.

The manga has been cancelled due the drawer having heart problems, so you can read the LN after (if) you watch it.

I am currently reading the LN because I am too impatient for season 4 to air this spring.

This anime literally was the first anime to make me simp for a 2D woman called "Tohka" :D

There's even a game of this anime in the Google Play Store.

If you like the anime, you might not like the LN because uh sad stuff happens.

Same here, could be something maybe better if it was not a harem.
yes.

I don’t know about everyone else, but Date A Live was a top tier show first I’ve seen like it.(Not talking about the harem part of course). Watched all three seasons. Dislikes origami though.

Depends, if you like waifus and harem, go for it.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

I watched it and really enjoied it. I think you should give it a chance and maybe you find a new anime series for you to enjoy and if not then it's fine too.

I think its a great show for zoning out and not really paying attention. But if you're looking for a deep show with no plot holes and amazing animation you will be disappointed. The characters and ridiculous plot carry this show.

I suggest s1+ light novels or s1,s2 +light novels if you want to know the full story of it because s3 is really bad imo.
