There is a monologue in volume 2-3 with Shidou lamenting Kotori isn't the cute and sweet imouto he used to know. In Kotori birthday, Shidou was even impressed she wasn't in her usual black mode. It seems like she is in black mode most of the time now.

>>147155519
Again, it's not something that only Kotori can accomplish. You can put Reine or even Kannazuki in charge in the result will be the same. You can put anyone who knows about this stuff and it won't make any difference.

The ship battle in volume 5 showed how they don't really need Kotori to handle a threat and then we have Natsumi arc where Reine was in charge allowing Shidou to date 12 people without much trouble.

What's the problem exactly? DAL is built around this type of comedy to keep dates lively and for the purpose of creating moe reactions. The choices usually are silly, but most of the time reasons are given and it helps despite Shido's complaint.

It's not a lie. It's been like that since the first volume. If you haven't noticed, it's trial and error. There's leeway in making wrong choices because Shido can't die. It's important to figure out what kind of Spirit Shido is dating/battling, so even the wrong choice helps collect data to make better choices.

Anon, he can die, the healing factor isn't a 100%. In vol.7 when he was stabbed he couldn't heal the injury becuase he had overused it before.

White is cute, but Black deserves Shido more than White. Black kept her promise and became strong for his sake after all.

>>147156066
>There's leeway in making wrong choices because Shido can't die
That became irrelevant since Yoshino's volume and Shidou has been in worse dangers since then. The trial and error means nothing because at the end of the day the serve no purpose whatsoever in the actual conquest which is possible because Shidou is forced to make his own decisions. The choices didn't help him to win Tohka, Yoshino and Kurumi is a lost cause so far, he threw away the earpiece thing in Kotori's day because he knew he wasn't being himself, the twins were in conflict because they wanted each other live so there is no way those lewd choices he was given could help him to win them.

The whole crossdressing shit is probably the worse idea Kotori could think of and Shidou even pointed out how it was a retarded idea because that would mean lying to Miku for the rest of his life, Nia's conquest was also filled with lies and they even knew she could use her book to find out the truth. Natsumi had her retarded logic so they couldn't do anything a about it.

tl;dr
The choices are shit because they are just used for comedy purposes.

>>147156066
Except he can die and newer spirits are harder to conquest. I mean hell, they even get mad when they learn the truth Shidou is just acting.

In the end, Shido has always been the one that came up with the solutions to the problems, not Kotori, she onaly made it worse and Shido had to clean up after her as usual.
This makes Shido an even better MC, as most of harem MCs are dense idiots while the girls are way smarter.

>>147156551
That one person even got warned there at AS becuase he was fucking annoying with Shiori if I remember correctly. Even the first translator was annoyed.

>>147156230
Obviously, Kotori's healing isn't all-powerful. It will save him under normal circumstance, which is what almost every date is. Volume 7 could be called an exception for a few reasons as thought up by Shido himself, but the most obvious is he overworked himself and is using other powers that kept exhausting the healing factor, or Ellen's territory was hampering it which is why the healing was slower than usual.

>>147156372
You're wrong. Unless you're reading a different series, the choices never went away and are still used, and debated among the crew. If not volume 14, then Natsumi's arc proved that. When encountering new Spirits whose personality is unknown, picking a perverted, normal, or provoking choice helps to decide what kind of personality the Spirit has. This is literally what DAL always do. The running staple comedy is what it is, but it's not without a real purpose.

>>147156441
See above.

>newer spirits are harder to conquest
Shido gets stronger as the story progresses and has more girls to help him. There's a balance.
>Shidou is just acting
That isn't a problem. He's always himself at the end when it counts.

>>147156593
Shidou usually handles the endgame choice that leads to the clearing the route by making his own decisions. That's what a harem MC should do and that's one of the points to the whole thing. But he still goes along with Kotori's methods most of the time and they do help, as stated above. But we can't forget that Shido can't do everything by himself and wouldn't have gotten to where he is without Ratatoskr and Kotori's resources and aid beyond the gal game choices.

>>147156593
Yeah, I'm glad he turned out to be such a comepetent character and MC, even if it was unintentional.

>>147157033
I never said they went away, they still forced the choices because, like I said, the serve a comedy purpose in the series. Shidou can always find out about the girls personalitites without the choices, it's literally a person having a conversation with another.

>>147157033
>Kotori is literally more useful than 90% of the other Spirits
>Haters will still deny this and shitpost anyways
I'm starting to sense Manafags at work here.

>>147157033
>Shido gets stronger as the story progresses and has more girls to help him. There's a balance.
Except he doesn't, the most recent power up he got was in volume 13 and it was only more angels but at a very weak strength, prior to this he was using angels for their usefulness rather than raw power, Shidou got stronger but psychologically and certainly no thanks to the choices. It seems like he is finally getting a respectable power up for once though.

>That isn't a problem. He's always himself at the end when it counts
Because the choices don't help him at all.

>>147157033
>But he still goes along with Kotori's methods most of the time and they do help, as stated above
No, he doesn't. He goes along with their methods because they are supposed to be the "professionals" who knows about "dating girls" plus they can teleport him, volume 9 proved Reine is more than enough to handle the dating stuff and in a much better way.

>>147157176
>Manafags
>literally a background character
You don't have to be a Manafag to notice the flaws in Kotori in her crew as Shidou's support.

However you slice it, those choices serves a purpose beyond just comedy.

>>147157297

You're contradicting yourself and are not making sense. It's a fact Shido gets stronger as the story goes on. He started out using/channeling abilities, and then gradually it became increase in physical power.

>choices don't help him at all.
And yet they do regardless if you like them or not. You could argue Shido could make his own choices, but he still goes along with them which produces info and input from the girl's reactions.

>>147157369
>he doesn't
>He goes along
Another contradiction. It's like you didn't even read what I said.

>>147157654
Whatever you say troll.

>>147157670

Well, mostly agaisnt unimportant characters like the wizards from vol.7 or the monsters from vol.13. He still hasn't fought a real 1v1 battle.

>>147153882
I want to lick that lolipop.

>>147157670
It's not a contradiction because he only got stronger just recently.

The choices do not matter at all, because it is Shidou's own determination and thinking that makes possible the conquest in the end.

>>147157670
I read what you said, and you said he goes along their methods because they do help when they don't. What I said is that he is forced to follow their stupid games because the author will never allow Shidou to become independent.

>people still trying to excuse Ratatoskr retarded "supporting"

Because Tohka is DAL.

>>147157654
That's only half of it. Why don't you get to the bottom line and see it for what it is aside from just that? There is useful data from reactions, regardless if it's wrong and right. Nia's choices showed what happened when the choices made has a positive reaction, and something like Mukuro's choice showed negative reaction. There's value in knowing both, and from that the crew and Shido gets to know the them better. They play a factor in Shido's ultimate decisions that he makes for himself.

>>147157992
It's not like he can hold his own against a real Spirit. Not yet. Fighting against wizards is still a feat to show increasing powerlevel.

>>147158046
You literally claimed more than just that.

>>147158167
7 volumes ago isn't just recently.

You're going around in circles and are repeating things that have already been argued and noted.

>>147158279
Given all that's been stated for why they do help, why don't you make a case using one of the recent volumes to show why you think they don't help at all then?

>>147158380
Because that would make him a gary stu.

>>147158279
Whether people like it or not, Shido can't become independent. He wouldn't be where he is without Fraxinus and Ratatoskr backing him up.

>>147158501
>You literally claimed more than just that
No, I didn't. Again, I just said the choices are meant to be taken as jokes but are not necessarily needed for dating spirits.

>>147158593
Except he would even with a different team, that's the whole point. He still needs the teleporting but you can give that task to anyone, Reine is still needed though.

>>147158617
You said they were irrelevant SINCE and means nothing. And again, you can't dismiss them when they are more often than not are contributing factors in deciding how Shido should proceed when he makes his own choices by the end of the date.

>>147158501
>given all that's been stated for why they do help, why don't you make a case using one of the recent volumes to show why you think they don't help at all then?
But you haven't post anything that proves the choices actually help him. You even have other people claiming lying to Nia was a Mistake and Mukuro has closed her heart so the choices are even more useless than before.

>>147158725
Ratatoskr.was the one who approved of the current team and oversees everything they do.

>>147158908
In the end, Shidou alone will unlock her heart.>>147154440

>>147158807
>you said they were irrelevant SINCE and means nothing
That doesn't mean they are suddenly gone like you claimed I said.

They do NOT contribute to the conquest in any way because Shidou learns nothing from them, ever since the beginning the series Shidou stated dating spirits with dating sim choices was a dumb idea but again, he is still forced to go through them because it's part of the "humor" of the series.

>>147158912
Did you forget the part where they are ready to dispose of him? They gave him a bunch of weirdos who have no real experience with REAL girls to make sure he will never learn or become a bigger threat.

>all volumes translated

>>147159303
There is a translation group.

>>147158908
I already mentioned Nia's choice having a positive effect and made plenty of argues why the choices in general are useful in both bad and good case. Quit ignoring them and give your case.

>lying to Nia
Except the book wasn't a lie and Shido was being true. Nia didn't dislike the book it wasn't a mistake.
>Mukuro has closed her heart
And that has nothing to do with the choices Shido complied to. Mukuro's heart was already closed and she didn't even react to any of the choice made.

>>147159096
The latest volume literally proves you wrong. You have serious issues when you can openly deny something that's so fundamental and actually have value in getting a reading on a Spirit's personality when he's trying to date them.

Except, they don't. Like I said before, it's literally having a conversation with a girl so a bunch of random dating sim choices are not really needed to find out what kind of person said girl is.

>>147154515

>>147159655
You're basically claiming Ratatoskr wants to destroy the world by having Shido make them go out of control. Think for a second how stupid you sound and how wrong you are.

>>147159413
You shoukd have expected that. After all, Kotori's arc was volume 4 and S2 covered volumes past that.

>>147159783
Are you joking? Shidou could have said the same words he said to Tohka and Mukuro wouldn't care either because her heart is closed. See this from a different perspective, let's say Shidou is dating a spirit and nothing goes wrong, he would keep spouting a bunch of nonsense but never reach the girl because spirits are REAL girls with REAL problems.

The fairy tale versions of the Spirits are so lovely! It really makes me want to let
the other characters experience that fantasy world. Allow me to imagine:
《Sleeping Beauty Reine》 (In truth she can't sleep because of insomnia.) 1
《Kaguya-hime Tama-chan》 (Can't get married because her standards are too high.) 2
《The Wolf and the Seven Little Kurumis》 (I can only see the wolf being bullied
instead.) 3
《Ali Baba and the 40 Kurumis》 (Not even a slice of flesh would be left of the poor
guy.) 4
《101 Kurumis》 (Only despair.) 5
It's rather complicated even though they're quite fascinating. I wonder if I can write them
into an encore chapter or a short story

>That would be a good idea.

>>147159900
I never claimed such thing. Ratatoskr doesn't give a shit about Shidou as long as seals spirits, they are pretty much hoping for him to seal as many spirits as he can then get rid of him if something goes wrong.

>>147160105
Right. They want to seal and save Spirits and they provided Shidou with a team to help with do just that. If they wanted to him fail then they would have sent him a bad team or no team at all.

>>147160253

Are you anime only? The only who actually wants to save spirits is Elliot and even him is prepared to kill Shidou. The other members are just a bunch of assholes using Shidou and hoping for the best.

>>147160357
I was in that thread. Black dancedags really think that series is better than DAL.

>>147160378
No, he's the only one who wants to save them without other having a questionable agenda. That's different. But way to deflect the point.

>>147160521
Blace dance*

>>147159992
Your hypothetical is pretty reaching. With his personality, we would never have half of the personality traits shown in the dates if he didn't go along with Ratatoskr.

Putting all that aside, you know if the story was written without any hiccups whatsoever because Shidou would make placid decisions all the time then DAL would be boring and Shido would be a gary stu.

>>147160557
>But way to deflect the point.
You are the one disregarding the point and trying to make Ratatoskr look like a good and competent guys and no, even Elliot is afraid of Shidou since he was the very person who gave Kotori the orden. Seriously, you are just being delusional at this point while everyone else knows the crew are not a good support.

Even if it's done by IMS I really want another season god dammit! I didn't expect to get so hooked up with this series.

>>147160708
It's better to have MC with character development.

>>147160708
>Putting all that aside, you know if the story was written without any hiccups whatsoever because Shidou would make placid decisions all the time then DAL would be boring and Shido would be a gary stu.
That's the point. Even without the choices, Shidou is far from being a gary stu because he is not overpowered or pseudo intellectual MC that can read a person. He has to put actual effort in the capture and is only through experience and critical situations that he can learn about the girl and her true persona.

So I got into an argument with a Isseifag, he said Shido is a loser and could never hope to have a harem like Issei's or be as strong as him. That was about a few months ago. I really hope he was joking back then.

>>147160740
>they don't want him to become competent.
>You're basically claiming Ratatoskr wants to destroy the world by having Shido make them go out of control. Think for a second how stupid you sound and how wrong you are.
What am I disregarding exactly? The only thing I did was exploited a flaw in your statement.

They are the closest thing to being goods guys. The whole thing with killing Shidou if he becomes a dangerous threat that can't be ignored doesn't make them bad guys.

So, hypothetical DaL fighting game:
Kirby-Shido
Yes or no?

>>147161043
>Kirby-Shido
What?

>>147161043
Enough with the fighting game bullshit.

>>147161105
Mirror-match, probably.

>>147160980
The fact you are just projecting. You keep trying to excuse the crew awful support by making Ratatoskr look like good guys when it was clearly stated in the novels they don't give a shit about Shidou and the spirits other than Westcott, it seems you are also foegetting the fact Ratatosk members used to be part of DEM.

>>147160874
That would be nice. We'll have to wait for him to regain his memories, I guess?

>>147160929
>only through experience and critical situations that he can learn about the girl and her true persona.
The merits from wacky gal game choices and Kotori's plans allows this, among other factors. You really have no reason to bitch and whine about them when they serve such a purpose. The story is simply written that way and you have to deal with it.

>>147161204
Elliot**

>>147161236
The usual is a MC with character development though. His real-self would probably wrap things up quickly as he was hinted to be more aggressive.

>>147161236
>The merits from wacky gal game choices and Kotori's plans allows this, among other factors. You really have no reason to bitch and whine about them when they serve such a purpose. The story is simply written that way and you have to deal with it.
Except they don't allow it. Again, Shidou learns nothing from them.

>>147161204
Sounds like you're the one projecting here. Either stick to saying Ratatoskr doesn't want Shidou to succeed thus endangering the world because Spirits would run amok or admit that they do want him to capture Spirits (like you claimed earlier) thus gave him a team to accomplish.

>>147161303
Calling it. Real Shidou with his memories will actually making assertive choices and maybe even perverted ones

>"Whaaat? Unexpectedly Onii-chan are you a facetious person? Ahahaha, no one would do that nowadays."

>"Ha-Haha……I'm glad that you enjoyed it."

>Shidou following the puppet's lead and laughed dryly. No one uses [facetious person] nowadays I think, but he refrained from saying that.

>*gloom*

>"……Yeah yeah, sorry about that."

>The prideful Kotori replied with a small voice, and Shidou returned his gaze back to [Hermit].

>As if matching him, the puppet met Shidou's gaze.

>"Iyaa—, but I'm lucky pervert Onii-chan. We meet again in such a weird place— Ahaha, I welcome people like ya Onii-san— It seems that everyone hates Yoshinon— If I were to leave this place, they would probably start attacking me again——"

>After saying that, it once again started laughing.

>"Well that’s one surprisingly, cheerful Spirit."

>From his right ear, Shidou heard the same words he was thinking about. As expected, even Kotori thought of the same thing.

Nothing, huh.

>>147161376

This is where you ate projecting and assuming the worst. Killing Shidou is already a retarded idea because the rest would go inverse.

That's like saying he knew what to do with Origami in vol 11 because they keep giving lewd choices when the reason was he knew Origami's personality.

>>147161672
Common sense and applied logic != projecting. You should try to learn what that word means before using it.

You literally claimed they sent him a shitty/incompetent team and that they don't care about him. Now, given the organizations purpose and common goal of sealing Spirits by using Shidou's power, to even claim what you claimed can only be logically deduced to >>147159900.

Whether or not killing Shidou when he has gone berserk and is on a rampage is the best decision is another matter, but strictly speaking that doesn't make them bad guys for having that option in the event of the worst case scenario.

>>147161837
Retard.

>>147161956
You're not even trying now. Origami is an exception because he knows her and she's human who isn't ignorant about the world. But even then Shidou deciding on his own didn't exactly make the right choice.

>>147161962
>but strictly speaking that doesn't make them bad guys for having that option in the event of the worst case scenario.
Okay, so you are retarded. Killing Shidou is just as bad if not worse than making the spirit mads which is what the Fraxinas has been doing since the beginning the series but for some they are actually helping according to you.

They didn't even bother to find a better way to prevent that event from happening, for an organization that "wants to save spirits" they still chose a DEMalike method to deal with him despite it being a retarded idea.

>>147162327
>But even then Shidou deciding on his own didn't exactly make the right choice.
Exactly, that's why Shidou has to put actual effort in the conquest because following a bunch of random dating sim choices won't get him anywhere and I never said Shidou is always right but that's just you assuming things.

Rewatching this. I miss this series.

>>147162549
>“Shidou, its no. 3”

>“……………………….”

>Receiving such an instruction from the control room, Shidou frowned. Although he had already talked with Nia before, but there’s no way he could say such a thing to her in a meeting like this, even Nia probably put on her guard for today. Even so, he cannot afford not to say anything forever. Shidou takes a deep breath, he turns to Nia and takes a look at her whole body, and then he rubs his chin and says,

>“H-Hee~ Aren’t you wearing clothes that are worth to take off?”

>“Eh?”

>After that, Nia widens her eyes in surprised.

>“Uehehe, what’s that, boy? Do you plan to do that to me today? I was thought you’re a
herbivore judging from your appearance~”

>After saying that, Nia pokes Shidou’s belly using her elbow.

>“Ahaha…………….No, that’s not what I……………..”

>“Eh? Does that mean we need to go that far in order to seal my Reiryoku? No~, I
thought we only need to kiss to finish it off. Oh, no~ Seems like I didn’t collect enough
information beforehand. Hey, is it okay if I change my panties first?”

>“E-Eeh!?”

>Shidou raises his voice hysterically, Nia laughed upon seeing it.

>“Only joking~, joking~.”

>Say that, then Nia made a *Pan-Pan* sound by hitting Shidou’s shoulder.

>Shidou feels relieved, he relax a bit while showing a wry smile. But,

>“I am already wearing my lucky panties.”

>“So that was the joking part!?”

>In response to Nia’ words, Shidou screamed once again.

>“Ahahahaha!”

>Then, Nia couldn’t help but to laugh while holding her stomach……….Apparently, that
was also a joke.

>“The tension is pretty high, huh~…………….”

>From the income, Kotori’s voice can be heard.

>“But well, it doesn’t seem to be a bad reaction at all. We’ll keep going at this pace.”

>“Y-Yes………. That’s right.”

Still nothing, huh? You're not trying at all. Unlike you who completely dismisses Fraxinus and Kotori's helpfulness, I never claimed the opposite for Shidou.

Clock girl a bitch
Desu wa gaijins!

>>147163064
>Nia literally playing around with Shidou
>she clearly stated she has no interest in 3D on her own
Thanks for proving my point retard.

>>147162359
>making the spirit mads

Are you a secondary? Fraxinus is not DEM. They never made or tried to make a Spirit go Inverse.

>>147160961
DxDfags are the lowest of the low where the genre is involved.

>>147163239
Seriously, why aren't you trying? Nia couldn't open to heart because she's not interested in 3D, but it's stated she doesn't dislike Shidou and she enjoyed the date that they had. All the advice Shidou followed were met with nice reactins.

>>147163455
reactions*

>>147163310
>using the term secondary in a DAL thread
Are you a newfag? Most of the spirits in the series have a bad impression when they notice Shidou is acting or think his arguments are weird.

>>147163526
>red herring

>>147163455
But in the end it didn't help with the conquest because Shidou pretty much forced a link between them and she herself said the book wasn't enough to change her mind. Again, the whole point is whether the choices are needed or not and they are not needed so far.

>>147163640
>using a term you don't know the meaning of
Also great argument.

>>147163526
Not him, but quoted examples please for research purposes.

>>147163706
>A red herring is something that misleads or distracts from a relevant or important issue. It may be either a logical fallacy or a literary device that leads readers or audiences towards a false conclusion.
>>147162359
>>147163310

>>147160961
Was it in a DxD thread? Issei is considered mid tier at best outside those circlejerking threads.

>>147163413
What actually made me laugh my ass off is that he said Issei has character development.

>>147163652
>in the end
That's retarded. You can't up and disregard past feelings and reactions that plays a contributing factor in how a Spirit comes to feel about Shidou. Everything matters and contributes.

>>147163751
What? The anon claiming killing Shidou is a retarded idea is right. I mean, Shidou is dealing with dark inverse spirits but Ratataskr can't think of a way to save him when they have resources?

>>147163874
Except when the spirit itself states otherwise.

>>147163880
>making the spirit mads which is what the Fraxinas has been doing since the beginning the series
No, THIS is wrong. Jesus Christ, are you pretending to be dumb or what?

>>147163770
I don't quite remember, the topic came up when he made several comparisions between Issei and other MCs. I think it was a harem thread but solely focused on Rakudai and Asterisk. He suddenly started talking about Issei.

>>147163831
Let's stop talking about other series. We don't need a fanbase war.

>>147163928
There are exceptions and some cases like that. But so what?

>>147163928

>>147163721

>>147163931
But the choices given to Shidou are not useful in any way.

>>147164020
I could care less if you think they are useful or not, but implying they have been acting like DEM is retarded.

>>147163959
>Rakudai and Asterisk
You went to a shitposting thread anon.

>>147164020
You literally were given quotes that proved otherwise and you still say this? You're a shitty troll.

>>147164082
But that anon never said that. He just said they chose a very DEMlike method to solve their problem, you can even call it an ASTlike method because that's what they would do given the case.

>>147164124
Except you didn't. Read the damn novel before posting bullshit, they failed to reach Nia's heart.

>>147162359
Kotori and Woodman was against the idea of killing Shidou.

>>147164183
>making the spirit mads which is what the Fraxinas has been doing since the beginning the series
Uh yeah HE did.

>>147164272
But they still went through it, Kotori couldn't do it in the end but they could have think of another way.

>>147164303
Exactly.

>>147164261
>Implying the thing with Nia's heart remaining closed is a direct result of the date that she enjoyed
Fuck off already. You're not even funny.

>>147164357
>They
You mean a faction who didn't share Woodman's view did.

>>147164393
Exactly DEM, Cause that's the only thing that makes sense there.

>>147164406
>Fuck off already. You're not even funny.
No, it wasn't. She even closed her heart to her friends because she was afraid of learning about their true nature, she was similar to Natsumi in the sense she didn't trust people.

>>147164467
That faction was everyone minus Elliot as far I remember.

>>147164523
DEM makes spirits mad on purpose while the Fraxinas makes them mad unintentionally, that's the difference.

>>147164606
Miku is worst girl.

>>147164647
Wat

>>147164537
And that literally has nothing to do with the fact she enjoyed her date.

>>147164692
Yeah I know but that doesn't mean it opened her heart.

>doing it wrong
Miku is worst girl

>>147164690
Are you a newfag?
>>147164647
She knows.

>>147164726
That's irrelevant. Nia had an underlying issued that prevented her hearing from opening up. If it was a normal date then her heart surely would have opened up after the date. Fact of the matter is the choices were not wrong and helped made the date enjoyable. You can't deny this so fuck off.

>>147164860
Why did he reply to me though?

>>147164606
No. DEM is the only one that actually makes Spirits get enough to start rampaging. It's a natural response when they are hunted down by them.

Fraxinus doesn't do anything like that.

>>147164893
But I'm not denying she enjoyed her date. I don't know how many times must I say this but i will say it again, the whole point is whether it helped to conquest the girl or not which obviously wasn't the case for Nia.

>>147164907
Dunno. Anyway, are you the "Miku is worst girl" anon? You sure are persistent.

>>147164982
Not intentionally at least, what the Fraxinas do is making some spirits uncomfortable with those weird dialogues.

>>147165009
Except the actual point was whether they're helpful in any way or not. Nia enjoyed it all and Shidou was able to get a better grasp on her character remains true. it must be killing you on the inside to even considering accepting that truth.

>>147165072
You're seriously retarded.

Are there any good subs for the movie yet? I've been waiting for months and the usw one isn't good apparently.

>>147165162
Not really, it wasn't until they talked about Nia's distrust of people that Shidou realized that Nia was afraid of using her powers rather than disliking people for their true nature as Kotori and the crew were guessing.

>>147165072
Let's assume you arent baiting. How can you compare getting an intentional rise to test the water with weird diagolues to Spirits who generally are clueless of worldly matters and perversions to what DEM does with trying to kill them?

>>147165233
But that's the truth, like some anon said the whole thing is trial and error resulting in error most of the time.

>>147165322
>Not really
Oh wow, you still can't do it. You're pathetic.

>>147165380
No shit. Still doesn't make them anywhere near DEM, retard.

>>147165346
What are you saying? You are the one comparing DEM to the Fraxinas for some reason when I just said they both made spirits made on their own way.

>>147153882
You still want to marry Shido?

For those of you who weren’t aware we were doing this, this is the director’s cut released last year. This will entirely supersede our old S1 releases. On top of the additional scenes that the old releases didn’t have, I’m fixing a lot of outstanding issues with the subs, and improving the styling and some typesetting.

I originally wanted to release this all at once since it came out all at once, but we’ve decided to release it like this for a number of reasons. Yes, they aren’t really volumes. Sue me. The rest will come over the next couple of weeks.

Also, please stop asking about the movie. Yes, I know you guys really want it. Yes, I know I promised ages ago that it would be soon. I’m sorry, and I’m working on it.

I did no such thing. I corrected you by saying that's what DEM does. I never compared the two like you did.

>>147165392
You are the one grasping to one thing that had no real impact in the conquest, besides Nia knew Shidou was acting all along so she was toying with him.

You are retarded.

>>147165751
See? You are the labelling them DEMtier for some reason, choosing a different method doesn't make you a different character all of sudden.

>>147165787
Whether it was THE deciding factor in getting her heart to finally open up was never the point. You are only pretending that it was so you can keep denying it. You still have examples from Yoshino and Origami that refutes you, but of course you ignore them.

>>147165822
That doesn't imply shit you fucking idiot. It just means they went for a extreme choice.

>>147165975

The fuck? I even said in one of my first posts that Origami date was the only instance the choices were useful and that was Shidou himself making the choices.

I have to give some credit to IMS, the BDs had a least half an episode's worth of added content in terms of time. Hell, there was around 8 minutes of Miku and Shido banter.

Guess it stood out to me since I actually like her.

>>147166486
But you are still wrong since that isn't the only time it was helpful/right/provided data. Yoshino, fucking rooftop, Natsumi, etc have tested to that.

>>147166514
Are you baiting me? You don't need the choices since you are dealing with unstable spirits so choosing to say retarded shit doesn't really help to understand the girl problem, also expecting these unstable spirits to be lewd and that it would help to solve their problem is retarded logic beyond reason.

You are comparing these pursued girls to game characters from dating sims, if this doesn't sound retarded then I don't know what will.

>>147166726
Too bad FFF's subs for S2 went down the shitter. It was like reading Commie.

>>147166864
>Natsumi, etc have tested to that
You couldn't have choose a worse example. What changed Natsumi wasn't the shitty choices, she literally witnessed Shidou and the others putting themselves in danger for her.

>>147166726
The banter was the only good scene they added.

>>147167063
The most significant in terms of added scenes but it was still pretty nice that they bothered to add so much.

>>147166917
No, and I hope you realize you barely have a valid comparison to support yourself with. Most of the Spirits Shidou came across aren't like that. They can get upset and fight back, but they aren't unstable to the point where getting upset trigger them to go out of control or anything. It usually takes DEM to come and mess things up for that to happen, and usually by that point Shidou would already some kind of bond with the Spirit.

Glad I dropped S2 early. That looks horrible.

>>147167577
Most of the building wasn't broken so there was barely any lighting in the anime version. Shidou looked pissed as all hell though in the anime version so I was happy with that.

>>147167577
If you think that looks horrible, then you don't dare watch the TV version.

>>147167621
Shidou went in between Miku and Tohka to block an attack from <Nahema>.
---Heraisedhislefthandupandmadeabarrierdescribed as a wall of cold air.
“…………..!?”
The surrounding temperature dropped and white mistwerefloatingaround.Itmightbetheeffectsof Reiryoku; small crystals of condensed water were floating in the air and were melting when they touched Miku’s skin.
Miku had seen this before somewhere.
Yes------it was quite similar to Yoshino’s Angel <Zadkiel> power.
“Yo……….Miku, you okay?”
After saying that, Shidou took a glance at Miku.

I was still kinda pissed that they didn't animate how he made the ice wall.

>>147167810
Little to no lighting in that entire scene made it less than impressive to look that.

>>147167810
I'm always fucking up everything. Whatever.

>>147167916
If IMS makes another season, I'd be glad with Haifuri-tier animation. That's my only wish.

>>147166919
What do you mean? I haven't downloaded it yet but was it that bad?

>>147168349
I don't know if they ever fixed in their BD releases, but their subs when they did the TV was bad. It was overly localized and had memes. Funi had better subs than them at the time.

Anime or light novel
Which one should I start with?

>>147168516
That's up to you but I'd recommend reading the LN from the beggining, otherwise you can download all the directors cut for season 1 and 2 and watch it.

>>147161462
I would fuck the living shit out of Origami.

>>147167621
He also looked weird as fuck.

>>147168516
Watch season as a SoL/parody series, don't watch S2 even the BD version is not worth it.

>>147167264
>getting upset trigger them to go out of control or anything
Wasn't that the case with Miku and Natsumi?

>>147167916
It wasn't just the lighting, there was barely any ice while in pic related >>147167577 Shidou is surrounded by ice making it clear he was protected by some kind of dome/barrier.

>>147168516
Read vol 1-4 if you want to understand everything and 7. You can watch S2 anime, you won't miss much since vol 5 and 6 are mostly fanservice volumes.

>>147167452
For Natsumi's case, it didn't matter what they did because she automatically assumed the worst.

>>147170741
Huh? Miku was upset and acted even more childish in response to finding out about the deception, but she was in control and behaved out of spite.

Don't know what you mean with Natsumi cause the thing with Shidou finding out about her true appearance was a complete accident thanks to DEM.

>>147167679
The BD version only fixed the derpy faces and added new scenes weren't that good.

>>147171077
>Miku was upset and acted even more childish
She literally wanted him dead and mind controlled half city and the girls to punish Shidou.

>>147171197
Yes, and? She was still in control.

>>147171336
Not when a man was involved and that was Miku's biggest problem. She didn't even give Shidou a chance when they first met and just attacked him.

>>147170741
Anon, Miku cheated after she lost. The plan would have worked if Miku wasn't an unyielding bitch.

>>147171418
The plan was doomed from the start because Shidou was crossdressing. It was such a blatant lie and I'm actually suprised they thought lying to her forever was even an alternative.

>>147153882
I hate DAL from the bottom of my evil, evil soul, but I still have to admit some of the girl's designs are top tier. Kurumi and imouto especially.

>>147171404
What do you mean? Her main issue stemmed from distrust and hatred towards males. That's was normal for her. She may get frantic and whatnot, but she is still very much in control of herself. It's not as though she loses to the Spirit self that craves bloodlust or whatever.

>>147171520
The plan was to win her heart first and then tell her the truth. I'm sure it would have worked.

>>147171540
>That's was normal for her
The same could be said for most of the spirits and their problems, they are in control most of the time but they are still unstable, Miku not only was one of the most dangerous spirits to have around but she became a massive threat after she learned the truth about Shiori.

What if she actually managed to kill Shidou? She would have chosen a path of no return.

>>147171605
>The plan was to win her heart first and then tell her the truth
No, it wasn't. Shidou himself stated the flaw in the plan and Kotori just shrugged it off and said he should give his best or something.

>>147171734
I don't wouldn't call them unstable, that would give the wrong connotations. Underlying issues that may manifest themselves under certain circumstances that varies between each girl is more of a trauma that may or may not induce volatile reactions. But I get your point.

Phantom would never allow Shidou do die, anyways.. He has 24/7 plot armor.

Kotori's thread is popular! As expected of the cutest deitolive.

>>147171912
I think Kotori clearly stated it's Shidou job to seal the girls because when they are unstable spacequakes happen. It's not really about trauma considering Phantom chooses the most unstable girls to turn into spirits because they are the ones who wish for power, this only applies to some human spirits though, "pure" spirits may be unstable or not.

Also plot armor? Nothing could prevent him from dying in the past or Ellen giving him the final blow. Phantom is also putting Shidou in constant danger by turning unstable girls in spirits, she even thought he wanted to kill her when they met in the past.

>>147171912
>He has 24/7 plot armor
What? Phantom is not an ommnipotent and omnipresent being.

>>147172092
You should try reading the thread anon, like 3/4 of the posts are pople arguing about she and her crew being useless or not.

I want to marry Kotori~

>>147172134
She also didn't move an inch when a fucking dark spirit was attacking him with intention to kill.

>>147167284
>those drawings
Why even bother making the animation decent when the people are drawn in low quality?

>>147172134
To that effect. The possibility of spacequakes occurring as a result of emotional distress/disturbance are the main reason reason why Spirits are dangerous. Of the girls Phantom have turned, she exploits a trauma. Even Origami's revenge is due to trauma and that eventually led her to yearn for power that Phantom exploited.

>Nothing could prevent him from dying in the past or Ellen giving him the final blow.
What makes you say that? So far nothing suggests that Phantom wouldn't saved Shidou if he was truly threatened with death.

>thought he wanted to kill her when they met in the past.
I don't remember this. As I recall, when they first met Phantom was confused, but she figured out that he was from the future and knew about his past.

>>147172168
I didn't say she was. She's still hax enough to be a plot device to save Shidou when the plot needs to, though.

She didn't prevent Tohka's transformation into a dark spirit.
She didn't try to save Shidou even when Ellen had the chance to kill him.
She didn't try to stop dark Tohka when she was rampaging.

Like the other anon said Phantom doesn't know everything, so she probably wasn't even there when all of this happened.

>I don't remember this
The scene where she said to Shidou that 'for a person who would be loved by the spirits she never expected for him to personally come to kill her' or something like that, it was before she said those lines she said in the first volume about "saving him".

>>147172766
Last thread had discussion and reached bump limit and again the thread is not necessarily talking positives things about Kotori.

>>147172647
>device to save Shidou when the plot needs to
The only time where she actually saved him was in volume 12. She has done anything to help or even make the conquest easier to him.

Miku is worst girl

>>147172859
All of those could easily be explained with because Shidou didn't need to be saved by her. For those times, he either had other girls or standard MC plot armor by his side. The one time where he didn't have either was when Ratatoskr decided to kill him. No one else was that could have showed up and his powers couldn't save him, so Phantom stepped in.

Shidou is needed for her plan and she only cares about him, mind you.

> 'for a person who would be loved by the spirits she never expected for him to personally come to kill her' or something like that, it was before she said those lines she said in the first volume about "saving him".
What. Need a quote or chapter number cause definitely don't remember something like that.

>>147172976
I know. You're not looking at this from a logical standpoint. Phantom needs him, he is essential to her plan. She only shows up when he's 100% going to be killed for good. If the other girls can't save him and any other standard plot armor would fail then she shows up. It's that simple.

Clearly her job isn't to make his job easy. In some way she could be compared to Raildex's Crowley, and making Touma's job easy is definitely not part of Crowley's plan, in fact it's the opposite in most cases, but still he is an important piece that's essential.

>>147172892
>Last thread had discussion and reached bump
Link it.

I would spread Mana's butthole and lick it.

>>147173134
I don't think you are seeing things from a logical standpoint either. The girls were in limited release, Miku was mind controlling half city to kill him and now he was at DEM mercy. She didn't move a finger to even help him in volume 7 or even in Origami arc where she was pretty much destroying the city and time travel was the only solution.

Yeah, until the Houkifag decides to show up and start shitting up the threads as usual.

Ask yourself who ended up saving/helping him in those situations following logic to a believable degree. The answer is there.

>>147173371

>“Hey Onii-chan~~~.”

>A familiar voice called out from behind. And as though his imagination realized, Kotori and the others appeared with something enthralling in hand. Beside him, Tohka shook her head with uncertainty.

>“Muu? Kotori? What are you guys doing?” This was also futile, however.

>Where Kotori stood lay a long conference table. The Spirits who came to revere, with pens in hands, seemed to be scribbling something.

>“Hmm.”

>Currently equipped with her white ribbons, Kotori was wearing a fiery red kimono and picked up the wooden cuboids beside her hands. The topmost punctured part was used to hoist said miniature planks with a knot.

>“Ooh what's this?”

>“It's a wishing plaque. If you write your wishes on it, they will come true.”

I won't accept lies and slander.

What does that have to do with the thread reaching bump limit? Also there is a game canon discussion and continuity discussion between games and LN.
