It isn't like Kanon was the first to do it.

Probably not, although they did have the same ending sequence throughout the whole of it. Interesting coincidence?

Lol yeah, Paul.

Is Date A Live better to watch under the influence of marijuana?

Made a disturbing found. Not a single scene from Naruto/Shippuden openings.

Does this mean it's different?

I guess almost every book, tv show, movie, etc. should be eliminated for not being completely original as well.

1. Running in endings is so damn unusual I'm sure someone called dibs.
2. Yes, it sucks but for a different reason.

Damn, that compilation made me want to watch some old series again. Nothing as good as nostalgia ey.

Mod Edit: Please report threads that are in the wrong board but do not address this situation in the thread. Thank you.

Eh. Just reading the synopsis should be enough to know it sucks.

Don't know, but Madoka Magica certainly is.

I thought most if not all anime fans should know by now that almost all anime OPs and EDs are carbon copies of each other.

Jeez OP, just look closer and you would notice Date A Live's sequence is nothing but a girl running with a bland background, the entire time.
Surely you can play spot the difference, no?

Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is.

Don't get me wrong--this series sucks. But not for this reason.

I would have thought all the dei ex machina and braindead anime cliches (like MC walking in on Tohka three times in an episode) would be what makes it shit.

I don't think a sequence that most people skip anyway is going to have that much influence on an anime's overall reception.

Except Kotori set him up for the first two, and she walked in on him the third time.

Yeah, Kanon definitely wasn't the first to do such a thing. There's not much else to fill in such a dry sequence as the credits anyways.

And yeah, it sucks as most harems do. That's why I started with "Another reason why...".

Anywho, Just wanted to put this to light, folks.

Toodles~!

Date A Live is fine if you take it as what it is. Also, all anime OPs and EDs use the same cinematography conventions.

Date A Live, is simply another eye candy cropped up to fill up some space on television. It's not to be compared against a masterpiece, but against the shows that it's run with.

It could possibly follow the idea that, in order to make masterpieces stand out more, they just put a mediocre (or crap) anime. Sort of like the principal in chick flicks, one average girl with 2 ugly sidekicks makes her seem the most desirable girl in the world.

And Paul, why are you comparing EDs to OPs?

I gave Madoka a 10 while watching it under the influence of marijuana.

Necro'd this post. Well, at least I can now say that since DaL 2 is almost just as bad.

Granted, it's better than A LOT of anime; but its still just a troll harem anime in the end.

I think Date A Live is pretty great. People are too harsh about the animation of s3 imo.

DaL sucks because you are enjoying it until you have some critical thinking.
