I do not agree that this is the best Date a Live season. Yes it has shown Kurumi's arc. Yes it starts to unvail the mystery of the Spirits. But there are still some parts that weren't properly adapted in here.
Because the studio wants to focus to Kurumi, it misses out some moments to other characters like Ellen and Artemisia. Especially Artemisia as she's one of the characters who suffered the most because of Season 3 despite being hyped up since Season 2.

Also, Kurumi's arc feels a bit incomplete despite the studio focusing alot on her.

Those are pretty much my problems for this ...

Yeah definitely the worst season. Pretty much the only good thing here is Origami's arc and the opening which I regard as the best in the whole series. The art was a huge downgrade, the animation is meh, the soundtrack pretty much the same but with some that are bad. And the adaptation is where it's worst.

Natsumi arc is ok overall but one of the things made it better is how Natsumi thinks. This season doesn't show that. And then we have the final episode which crammed the whole Volume 12. It's so bad that even Season 4 even have to adjust things and ...

Deoending on how the future volumes of the LN goes, Season 2 is my favorite DAL anime.

Setting aside the humor and fan service, it has the same problems as Season 1 as they also leave small things that matter to some characters.

Story: 8.5/10 Yamai twins were good. But people will obviously look at the fan service. Miku arc is where it's amazing.

Art:: 7.5/10 It's a downgrade from Season 1. But there are two amazing fights that is shown to have improvement in animation.

Sound: 8/10 Mostly the same as Season 1 but the best parts are Shiori and the gang's Q&A and Miku's My Treasure(especially ...

Date A Live (Anime) add
Spoiler
One of my childhood animes. Rewatched the whole series again after Season 4 finished and currently reading the LN to give a final verdict for the anime. I will also give one for the LN after I finished it as I'm still at Vol 8. Anyways back to the review:

Pretty short review honestly. They missed a few things on the adaptation side especially on the throwback of Shido and Kotori. But honestly, it's a good start for the anime series.

Anyone who thinks that Shido is stupid tho, they didn't watch it carefully.

Story: 7
Art: 8
Sound: 6
Character: 8

Preliminary (50/? chp)
So, I'll keep it short first. What if Fate/Zero is actually great and was able to draw out it's full potential. That is basically what Fate/Strange Fake is.

Started as a Fanfic of Ryohgo Narita(Durarara, Baccano) in about 2008 and officially becoming one of the entries in the Fate series, Fate/Strange Fake is one of the best Fate spin-off we had and could be the best of them all depending on how Narita does it's end.

Shizuki Mori's art is good and I want to see more of it.
Just like what people say about Fate/Zero, it pretty much have almost no main character.
And just like his other ...

2 words. Peak Fate.

3rei embodies everything about Fate perfectly. The fan service, the great action, the amazing characters, the art, the emotional moments, the arguments about humanity, and the lore of timelines. Everything about Fate is here and it delivers it perfectly. This is one of the best Fate series of all time. People use the "lolibait" as an excuse or counter argument when there's about less than 10% of it here.

Sasuga Hiroyama for making this even without Nasu's supervision. He's the only one out of the 2 Fate writers who can do this, with the other one being Ryohgo Narita' Strange Fake.

For anime onlies, Definitely a good continuation after watching 3rei and OUS. Fan service is almost not there and irelevant, and they went straight for the plot.
Good art style, character developments, OSTs, and fights, and most of all, great voice acting. If there would be problems to them, it would probably be the CGI and the ending of the movie.

Now for it's adaptation. It's a big problem. It can't even be compared to how great the manga is. I said the character development is good. But it's the fact that it's only good is what makes it not great compared to the manga which ...

Mixed Feelings
A review for the whole Heaven's Feel trilogy adaptation. SPOILERS WOULD BE INCLUDED.

Note: I will try my best not to turn this into a rant.

As I watch the trilogy a while ago, it was very full of complete opposite feelings.

The animation is peak movie quality production, it's so amazing. I like the artstyle as it fits to Takeuchi's current artstyle(his old art style still better in some aspects tho). And the visuals are very amazing. The only thing to nitpick on this part is that some parts of Dark Berserker gives me PTSD to Berserk CGI. The voice acting were top notch as well it ...

A review to the whole Unlimited Blade Works TV Anime. Compared to the 2006 adaptation, I have mostly the same opinions on this one after rewatching.

Animation is indeed very amazing, Fukasawa is my fav and used some VN OSTs so the soundtracks are fine too.

The downsides as always tho, is the adaptation. While this is one of the best Fate adaptations along with FGO Babylonia, it still failed to adapt a lot of the characters especially Shirou. But that doesn't mean it's bad. Shrou and the other's characterization here are great the problem is that the audience just can't pay attention to them.

8.5/10. One ...

A series that actually doesn't deserve the hate it gets.

I purposely let myself rewatch this after I have bigger knowledge about Fate. And as someone who's about 95% done about it, I thought to myself, "Maybe it's time to see this again and have my final thoughts about it."

Out of all the route adaptations, this is my favorite one. The animation and voice acting were fine, the original artstyle that I will always love is kept, the soundtracks are the best and even respected the original source and used a remixed of a lot of soundtracks from there, the atmosphere was perfect. It's best ...
