Date A Live

 
Date A Live is what I would deem a ‘fun’ anime to watch. It is the sort of entertainment that allows you to sit back, relax, and just enjoy the show. No need to think too hard or look for something to critique. No need to debate on whether it is a masterpiece, argue on what it is lacking or have a discussion on what it excels in. It’s just the typical, enjoyable, slice-of-life without the bombardment of significant plot developments or the emotional, heart-breaking scenarios. As such, Date A Live, follows the classic slice-of-life troupe, with the traditional harem-takes, fan-service, cliché and predicable moments, silliness and a tone that labels itself as turn-your-brain-off-and-just-enjoy-the-show. In fact, this introduction can be similarly said for many other series of its type such as IS: Infinite Stratos, OreShura, and Rokujouma no Shinryakusha!? to name a few.
