I guess no one likes DAL anymore
Anyway who is the girl on the vol 17 cover?

>>160076740
I stopped caring when Kadokawa threw the DMCA without offering an official translation to compensate for it.

>>160076740
Not a good time to make a thread and the girl in the cover is Marina from the second game. Don't you recognize her?

>>160077235
Apparently not Marina.

>>160077235
I never get this, why is there a good time and bad time to make threads? Is DAL only liked by Americans?

>>160077626
The design is the same, just like the Fraxinas AI shares Maria's design. She and this girl are just Tachibana reusing designs even if they are entirely different characters in the LN.

>>160078397
>Fraxinas AI shares Maria
Is that a spoiler?

>>160076740
Yes a lot of people do, it's just that not getting season 3 put the fanbase on standby-mode.

>>160078340
>Is DAL only liked by Americans?
Tsunako happened to visit us at the AnimeExpo 2017 and the interviewer brought up DAL. The interview was about Neptunia by the way:

>AL: So Tsunako is a character designer for the Date-a-Live series: do you realize how large of a fan base there is for that series in the west and would you like to see it come to the west?

>T: It was actually today that I found out there was such a huge fan base for the Date-a-Live series, so I’m very surprised. I would like to see it grow and spread out more.

Any news?

>>160079924
The author did confirm bad news which is no season 3 is being worked on at the moment.

>>160079558
No, if you read the novels.

>>160077626
>>160078397
Tachibana wants to avoid giving away spoiler by showing the cover of volume 17 surely. Nibelcol was a character no one expected. In any case, we might be seeing the first 3-ln arc in the series.

>>160080019
>no season 3
>bad news
A new season season would be bad news considering IMS would be in charge.

>>160080159
What spoilers? We know at some point some of the girls have to go inverse and they already showed inverse Yoshino in a fucking magazine. They said they didn't want to spoiler inverse Mukuro but they showed nothing in vol 16 and inverse Tohka was in vol 15 cover for no good reason at all.

>>160080193
>IMS
They can't fuck up any more than that season 2 though.

>>160080159
>we might be seeing the first 3-ln arc in the series
What makes you say that?

>>160080193
I don't care I just want my season 3.
>>160080019
Source? I just want to read it myself.

>>160080354
>Source?
He didn't actually post a tweet confirming it, he just replied to a guy who was asking if season 3 was a thing and he replied saying it wasn't planned to do for now.

>>160080354
>wanting to watch yet another shitty adaptation
I'd rather watch more shitty anime original movies knowing they aren't butchering the actual good content.

>>160080542
You actually have me pretty confused here. Do you care for the series or not? I can see you have a pretty strange way of liking DAL. Wouldn't you want to see Origami arc animated?

>>160080274
Inverse Tohka had an actual role in that volume so I can't really agree.

>>160080702
I want to see a good adaption. Not some shitty cashgrab like S2.

It's like you know nothing about IMS, they don't care about the quality of their products and decide to focus on fanservice as selling point. Do you want to see Origami arc filled with quality and still shots? Do you want to see how they cut content Origami arc and extend Natsumi arc because it has more fanservice?

>>160080862
>Inverse Tohka had an actual role
A role that could have been given to any other girl. Why does it have to be Tohka the one to go inverse when in previous volume she controlled the urge to go inverse and Why can't the others just use their full power for once?

>>160080997
>A role that could have been given to any other girl.
Not really, unless they went inverse and started telling Shidou about the Qualiphas.

>>160080274
Showing inverse Tohka was also a spoiler.

>>160080327
Remember when S2E1 aired? That was true QUALITY.

Post Yoshino

>>160080997
Because
1) She's main girl
2) Wasn't it explained in that volume, something about her memory loss being related to going inverse?

>>160081103
And that information is already known by both DEM and Ratatoskr who know about the existence of the inverse spirits for some reason. Inverse Tohka didn't do any truly unique that cannot be done by other characters and was only there just because the author needed a reason to justify her presence in the cover which was stupid to begin with, the other excuse he gave was to "spoiler" inverse Mukuro.

>>160080542
That anime original movie was awful so I disagree with you.

>>160081258
The ending song was the only good part.

>>160081221
What is going on with IMS anyway. They haven't done anything big in 1 year. Are they drowning?

>>160081208
Yeah, and no one expected inverse Tohka to appear all of sudden in Mukuro's arc. Wouldn't it be a better idea to spoiler inverse Tohka instead of inverse Mukuro considering most people expected Mukuro to go inverse?

>>160081258
That's the point. The suck at animating and directing shit so wanting a season 3 made by the same people is asking for them to shit all over the franchise which they already did with S2 anyway.

I miss this series.

>>160073754
>“I'll tell you, everything. What happened now.....no, everything that's happened up until now.”

>Shido who has his life saved numerous times by Kurumi, reveals the truth to the Spirits. When he faces his own sealed memories of the past, <Ratatoskr> and DEM's full-scale war begins!

Does he get his memories back?

>>160081594
Apparently, and he knows about DEM and the spirits for some reason?

Vol 16 translation when?

>>160081656
So, do you think we'll see vol.12 Shidou or a different Shidou. We'll probably see his real-self this time around.

>>160081594
>saved
What? Kurumi kept repeating the same event over and over again instead of just changing it altogether. How is that being "saved"?

>>160081747
Depends. How does he know all of this anyway, if the last time he had his memories he was like 10 or younger?

>>160081761
In a way, he was saved by being killed if you know what I mean.

>>160081894
But I thought people die when they are killed.

I happened to find this the other day.

>>160081744
Whatever happened to the translator or he's just lazing around.

>>160082253
Mukuro arc is done so he should be working in Kurumi arc, I heard he is a Kurumifag so I doubt he is not translating it.

>>160079924
Only that DAL is getting remastared for a PS4-release. Other than that, we're still pendling.

>>160082393
>remastared
Yeah, "remastered".

Was the Reine short story translated?

>>160082473
Yeah, the Reine Holiday. The facebook group has it in the files.

>>160082548
Nice, is it protected by a password though? Hate when they do that shit.

>>160082586
I don't remember but I assume it is.

>>160081427
At this point I'd rather have a manga that picks up after the events of vol.7 and starts on volume 8 onwards. That'd be a good decision.

>>160082756
They tried twice. I doubt there will be third manga adaptation.

>>160082715
Damn, hated when they did that with volume 15 translation.

>>160082849
>They tried twice.
Not from vol.8 though.

Why aren't there more Kurumi doujins? Why? Naze?

>>160082925
and that's not going to happen. People would be confused.

>>160083009
Most people would know after the two seasons.

Why don't they just drug the spirits with aphrosidiacs then mindbreak them? Wouldn't that be more effective?

>>160083161
It doesn't work like that. There must be affinity with the spirit first otherwise we will have another Miku.

>>160083161
Aren't spirits naturally resistant to drugs and poisons? Origami did try to poison Tohka early in the novels.

Miku and Natsumi killed this series. No wonder why this series has been forgotten in /a/.

>>160083260
just need to use more/stronger aphrosidiacs

>>160083157
That's like saying why not make an adaption of Mukuro arc and skip the rest, people can read the novels after all.

>>160083295
but that's what Origami tried to do.

>>160083333
i dont think she used aphrosidiacs specifically.

>>160083379
She tried to use them on Shidou.

Reine a best

>>160083284
Natsumi is not even bad girl. She is just annoying.

>>160083299
>Mukuro
Man I loved her character. Too bad I'll never see her animated.

>>160083398
Shidou isnt a spirit though

>>160083522
And who said he isn't a spirit or a half spirit?

>>160083550
He's probably a being resembling Mio, I don't know if she could be denominated as "spirit'" though.

>>160083687
If Phantom/Mio is responsable for the creation of spirits then yeah she should count as a spirit or a similar being.

>>160082050
I do. I made one just for the TL. But god damn the community is cancerous

>>160082990
The DAL are not for lewd.
>>160083284
I like Natsumi and I don't even mind Miku

>>160083299
No way you can skip Origami's arc. That shit is hilarious.

>>160083735
Yes, except she's on another level as she claimed when Origami attacked her: "A spirit dares attack me". I'm assuming she's one of the Ains.

>>160083398
Didn't she accidentally use them on herself in volume 12?

>>160083738
There's so many ESLs with inane questions/discussions.
Man it's been months since the last DAL thread.

>>160083788
You probably liked S2 and enjoyed the movie too.

>>160083788
>I don't even mind Miku
It's called having standards.

>>160083830
Well, she is called the first spirit for some reason. If she considers to be above them just because power then there is Mukuro who is far stronger than other spirits is still one. Mio should be the same.

>>160083841
It's just that harem threads died as the genre was completely forgotten while the isekai took that place.

Retard

Miku is worst girl.

>>160083284
Natsumi is just a lesser evil. Miku is pure cancer though, I still don't understand to this day what was the author thinking.

>>160084030
Easy, he has an awful sense of humor.

>>160083940
Mukuro is really OP. Tachibana really put her above all the other spirits. She was slightly stronger than Inverse Tohka too.

>>160083960
Some harem turned into isekai too.

>>160084065
>slightly stronger
She showed far superior power than inverse Tohka, not to mention how she toyed with both Artemisa and Ellen at the same time.

>>160084077
I'd rather have this harem be brought back.

>>160084191
Why not just send Shidou and co to the spirit world and turn it into an Isekai series? Seems easier to achieve at this point.

>>160084220
You forgot there are 10 volumes worth of story ahead where they left off?

>>160084252
Yeah and they still have to explain the spirit world, how the first spirit was summoned into the real world, not to mention Westcott has that stupid idea of merging both world or so I heard. Tachibana can easily turn this series into isekai if he wanted.

>>160083969
But Tohka is cute anon.

>>160084311
is a retard*

What would you do to Kurumi in your dungeon?

>>160084303
Still that wouldn't give DAL a new season.

>>160084437
They could make a spin-off though.

>>160084454
I would be happy with a Date A Origami anime adaption. It was genuinely funny and cute.

>>160084437
Good. As long as IMS is in charge the anime is better dead.

>>160084454
>>160084490
If it's about the spirit world then Date a Bullet would fit your criteria, except Kurumi would be the MC.

>>160084524
The white haired girl is the MC, she just has Kurumi's body but also happens to be Kurumi apparently? I'm still confused.

Date A Bullet sounds non-canon. Why are a bunch of girls suddenly fighting and killing each other to get a crystal when that never happened with other spirits? Why is the concept of "refining" a crystal being introduced all of sudden in a spin-off?

>>160084602
Good, now take her away from these threads and the series as whole.

>>160084603
Honestly, I would be happy with anyone who gives a shit about the series they are animating beyond fanservice.

>>160084579
Nah, Kurumi is the MC. Too lazy to explain but the white haired girl stole Kurumi's appareance.
>>160084634
The "refining" thing was introduced in vol.16 though.

Reine is the true end

>>160084684
Volume 16 and the spin-off were released at the same time if I remember correctly, so yeah it was introduced in the spin-off as well when it was never mentioned previously in the LN.

>>160084602
Get some tastes. The anime design is not even as good as the LN design.

>>160084678
Most of the studios nowadays don't give a crap though.

So what's the theory behind reversed spirits? Are they the same being or just a different personality? In vol 15 when reversed Tohka was about to revert she referred to herself and Tohka differently. I know the sephira crystals were perfected in order for the human body to be able to inhabit them so maybe the original crystal was its own personality and self awareness. Plus according to Nia all spirits were once human so there's still a lot of spirits' past to dig into.

>>160084707
It saddens me tht DAL gets mostly shit figures.

>>160084855
>maybe the original crystal was its own personality and self awareness.
That's what was implied when Inverse Tohka said she's not Tohka.

>>160084855
There is not specific reason that explain what a inverse spirit is considering inverse Origami is just Origami who fell into despair after killing her parents.

Vol 15 Dark Tohka seems to be an entirely different character than Vol 7 Tohka who attacked Shidou just because she was in front of her. I feel like Tachibana has some things planned like Origami arc then he makes shit up as the series progresses like is the case with Date A Bullet and refining the crystals, there is also a contradiction of perfecting a crystal to make it suitable for a human body in Kotori's case.

Miku is worst girl.

>>160084991
Yea I forgot about Origami. When she reversed she just fell into dispair without anything really happening. With Mukuro and Nia too(though the period was short). Probably there's something special about Tohka we'll just have to find out when her past is revealed.
Also seems like inverse Yoshino will appear next(not sure if this volume) and we'll what her deal is too.

>>160085170
They already showed her inverse form so it doesn't matter if she shows up next volume or not and since vol 17 is the second half of this arc then I doubt we will see inverse spirits at all.

>>160085170
Was that inverse Yoshino supposed a "spoiler"?

>>160084707
It can't be worse than Griffon, right?

>>160084855
If they all are human then how comes the twins remember about their past?

>>160085400
Doesn't Miku and Kotori also know their past

Why does Shidou know the "truth" about the spirits if he was like 10 before losing his memories?

>>160079924
If I don't see some announcement by next year I'll probably lose all hope and just stick with the novels until they end.

>>160085428
Yeah but they remember being humans whereas the twins mentioned being part of one being.

>>160084855
Dark Tohka said the inverse form is the "original" while the "regular" form is the form made to adapt to the human world better.
>>160084991
>Vol 15 Dark Tohka seems to be an entirely different character than Vol 7 Tohka
No, they were the same. In vol 7 Dark Tohka's screetime was brief so it's unfair to judge her entire character based on that volume. In volume 16 her character was expanded. She even remembers the events from volume 7.

>>160085447
The series is ending soon so there is not chance for another season anymore. Don't unsterdand why you would want a new season though.

>>160085461
Vol 7 dark Tohka was monster who didn't care about her surroundings and the destruction she caused and was eager to kill Shidou while vol 15 dark Tohka turned out to be a misunderstood personality like your average spirit?

>>160085479
Becuase I want Origami arc. But it's not like I have any hope either.

>>160085546
I don't know about "eager to kill Shidou." It was like Volume 1 Tohka but worse.

>>160085549
Yeah, I do as well but IMS would be in charge you know. Just let the anime die or do you want to see another butchered adaptatiom?

>>160085447
After that countdown incident, I gave up all hope. A shame, it's the only LN series wher I'm actually reading and following the novels.

>>160085428
Well Kotori remembers her past she didn't know she was a spirit when Shidou sealed her in vol 4 but after that she remembered. As for Yamai its just like>>160085454 said, they didn't know they used to be human.
The spirits we don't know the human past of are: Tohka Yoshino Yamai Natumi

Volume 1 Tohka was acting in self-defense in even then she never actually killed anyone, Shidou included. Vol 7 dark Tohka just wanted to kill him and destroyed a good chunk of the city just to achieve it.

>>160085632
We'll never get to know the past of Yoshino, Yamai sisters, and Natsumi seeing how the author forgot about them.

>>160085620
>incident
It wasn't going to happen and you only have yourself to blame, after that terrible second season and movie why would anyone want another season made by the same guys?

>>160085639
It's like you read youtube comments too.

>>160085660
>Natsumi
>forgotten
What? It's obvious Tachibana likes her.

>>160085813
Yeah, he wrote that himself in the vol.9 afterword. Also, making Shidou manifest Haniel physically after Sandalphon is proof of that as well.

>>160085883
Then how comes there is always a scene involving Natsumi in every volume while Yoshino, the twins and Nia get sidelined. She even helped Shidou in the battle against Mukuro

>>160085639
Why did they put a password anyway? To avoid stealing?

>>160086027
Yes, that is unironcally their reason, so their hard work doesn't get shared.

>>160086044
Then what the fuck is the point of the group?

>>160084853
But can they animate something that doesn't look like shit?

Why are they "remastering" Vita game for the PS4? It's not like the third game includes anything worth buying.

>>160086117
Just to grab some cash but then again who plays VNs in a console?

They are just milking the franchise for whatever's left, no way they would bother with a new game.

>>160074606
What's this?

>>160086239
New SS: Miku Burglar.

yeah, DAL almost seems like it was a casualty of how much Infinite Stratos crashed the truck. Houki accidentally ran over Tohka.

>>160086304
So, out of all the harems, why did this one have to get one-shot?

>>160086138
How long has it been since the translation of volume 16 started?

>>160086301
>Miku short story
It's shit.

>>160086304
What? Plenty of series suffer from the same or even worse problems.

>>160086609
At least you have Origami and Nia to make it even.

>>160086651
>Nia
Who even cares about her? Origami herself can't save a short story about the worst girl in the series.

>>160086651
>Miku, Origami and Nia
Change Origami with Natsumi and you have the shittiest and most uninteresting short story in the series.

>>160083550
How's Shidou developing? I read he manned up quite a bit.

Is Date A Origami scanlated? I've been warming up to Origami lately and want more of her.

>>160086928
Season 3 would give you every single aspect there is about Origami. It won't happen though.

>>160086985
If they ever do season 3 which they won't it will most likely adapt Natsumi and Origami arcs(vol8-11).

>>160085280
It's literally posted in this thread>>160081232. As far as I know we don't know anything other than the artwork.

Gigolo Shidou was awesome

>>160087636
I think he meant the Shidou we got in vol.1 all the way until now. Real Shidou is probably best Shidou though.

>>160087703
I know he meant the real Shidou but I really liked this one too it was real fun. It's still a part of Shidou but a bit too extreme on the conquering part.

>>160087825
The real one would be a bit more serious I think?

>>160088099
Well yes. He is pretty balanced and serious and has had a good development especially in the Origami arc. Teaming up with Kurumi was amazing.

>>160086712
Nia is not bad. Just forgettable and introduced too late.

>>160073754
HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE IS THAT A FUCKING NIBELCOLLE?!
>not Reineon the cover
feelsgoodman

>>160089615
I agree on the late part, but her characterization doesn't help with the current mood of the series. It's like she's a straight Nep clone.

>>160089814
Why wouldn't you want Reine on the cover? We don't know almost anything about her so it would be nice to have more info on her. I mean even if she doesn't appear on the cover that doesn't mean we won't get additional data since it's Kurumi's arc after all.

>>160090142
Because putting her on the cover blows the spoiler away and it implies a rushed final arc. Better to keep the tension in before the 'big' reveal.

I want to cum inside Yoshino!

>>160090614

Tachibana is probably being sneaky. But I'd assume he wouldn't mind showing Inverse Kurumi on a volume cover that's why I think this arc could be longer than 2 volumes.

>>160088473
>Mukuro lower than Natsumi.
Well shit.

>>160094865
To be fair Mukuro is still new. Natsume grew on me as the series went on. That and her arc was just amazing.

Mukuro arc was much better. Natsumi is annoying, what do you see in her?

>>160094944
I respect your opinion, but I'm telling you, there's no other character that resembles and has a lot in common with Shidou than Mukuro. If her character is well used she's to take 1st spot.

>has a lot in common with Shidou than Mukuro
What?

>>160094761

He did the same shit with vol 15 saying inverse Mukuro was a spoiler but she didn't even go inverse in that volume and now almost every spirit went inverse last volume. So what was the fucking point?

>>160095259
We'll see. I haven't read vol 16 yet. Does Mukuro get plenty screentime?

>>160093312

Mukuro resembles Shidou the most, more than my other female character introduced up until now. If you read vol.15 you should know.

>>160095434

>>160095427
All the girls has cute scene but Natsumi has remained almost the same since her arc ended so how did she become a "better character"

>>160095434

Your fanfiction doesn't count.

>>160095171
In terms of arcs
Origami arc > Natsume arc > Mukuro arc > Shido arc > Kotori arc > Miku arc > Kurumi arc > Yoshino arc > Tohka arc > Yamai arc

>>160095527
>Natsumi arc that high
How the fuck? The first half was Shidou dating people and resolving a mystery and only in the second there was some action but he barely interacted with Natsumi and the worst part if how little she changed after being sealed.

>>160095527
Natsumi arc was middle low tier.

>>160095527
>Natsumi and Shido arc that high
>Nia arc nowhere to be seen

>>160095527
Natsumi arc wasn't that good ans vol 12 was fucking disappointing.

>>160095578
I thought the story telling was great in the second half.
Also the dates are fun. It is DATE A Live after all.

>>160095614
I forgot about Nia's arc. It was pretty forgettable minus a few good scenes.

>>160095642
Yeah but the dates are really short with Yuzuru's date being the only genuinely good date because it gave her characterization and showed her true feelings for Shidou. Mukuro arc was good from the get go, Shidou wasn't forced to do stupid shit to convince her, we learned more about his past, we also learned about Mukuro's past which didn't happen with Natsumi, she had a good reason to behave the way she did and the action was better.

>>160095437
Too old.

>>160095659
Yeah, it was pretty mediocre. Nia didn't much other than tease Shidou all the time and in the end she only serve as a plot device to give Westcott a crystal.There is also the fact Shidou literally forced a sealing into her so what the fuck is the point of dating girls if he can do that?

>>160095442
That didn't happen with Natsumi. If the author likes a character expect that girl to have more relevance outside her arc.

>>160095165
Because you can do that, the problem is that she can destroy the car.

>>160084030
They're just filler girls, that's why.

>>160096044
Natsumi still gets more scenes than other spirits though.

>>160095434
Did she die multiple times in the past as well trying to protect what she held dear? Their pasts are similar but not the same and personality-wise they are different.

Miku is worst girl.

>>160086304
By the way, Houki gets cuck in the last volume.

>>160087636
So when is this bitch and Artemisa going to die?

>>160096259
I'm talking about their childhood events not what shidou has been up to.

>>160096502
Yeah but Shidou stopped being a child years ago and we don't even know in full detail what happen to him to claim she and Mukuro have a similar past.

>>160091134
There are doujins though. I don't know what are you expecting. The series isn't popular enough to get new doujins in daily basis.

>>160096450

Give her a break man, she was brainwashed.

Literally why.

>>160096676
She had fake memories implanted in her brain.

>>160096789
Her boyfriend doesn't even pay attention to her though.

>>160096818
>fake memories
How do you know that is the case? Neither Mana or Nia had different memories, they just forgot their past.

>>160096802
Because the people translating it posts in Facebook

>>160096802
The translator is a normie.

>>160087825
I like that he's not a worthless/overpowered MC. Tachonaba did handle his character development well, maybe a bit slow but it was good overall. I'm enjoying his character to be honest.

>>160097073
Tachibana* what's wrong with my hands.

>>160097073
Maybe too slow regarding his powers, I would say. We are entering the final of the series and he is still unable to use the angels at half of power. Not even in movies or games he is able to use more.

>>160095642
Now tell me, how many of those were actually good?

>>160097157
He's able to manifest more angel physically now. He should be able to do that now with any angel.

>>160097267
He has been able to use more of the angel powers in volume 13 and in Origami arc he used Natsumi angel off-screen but that doesn't change the fact he can use them at a very limited power.

>>160097318
No, I mean he was able to use their powers but had not manifested "physically" any other angel except Sandalphon. That was proven wrong when he manisfested the broom Haniel. Still, since he's not a spirit he can't go all out.

>>160097229
Tohka deito.

>>160095527
Origami arc > Mukuro arc > Second half Miku arc > Natsumi arc > Kotori arc > Kurumi arc > Yoshino arc > Nia arc > Shido "arc" > Tohka arc > Twins arc > First half Miku arc

>>160097484
I don't even remember Tohka's date in Natsumi arc. I think he lied about the meaning of "Natsumi", had a normal date and that was it.

>>160097467
But he manifested the broom off-screen in Origami arc so physically manifesting angels is not the problem here.

>>160097535
Origami arc > Mukuro arc > Second half Miku arc > First half Kurumi arc> Natsumi arc > Kotori arc > Pseudo-Kurumi arc > Yoshino arc > Nia arc > Shido "pseudo-arc" > Tohka arc > Twins arc > First half Miku arc

Improved version.

>>160097535
>two Miku arcs

>>160097674
I don't think he did. We can't tell if he did or not.

>>160097721
The difference in quality between the first and second half is surprising. It doesn't help vol 7 feels more like a dark Tohka's volume than Miku's.

>>160097779
He literally turned himself into a shota and he can only do that when he physically manifests the angel use the power.

>>160097827
In volume 12 he didn't manifest the broom and still used its powers. That's what I'm talking about.

>>160098026
In volume 12 he had full control over the spirits powers and he didn't even use the sword to fight, instead he use a beam to attack DEM.

>>160096450
That's Ellen. Soon hopefully. I'm thinking Manager or Origami will take her down.

>>160098095
Wasn't it just spiritual energy? But yea he basically has control over all the angels though he hasn't used all of them.

>>160098095
How to forget when Shidou use his chunni powers to do a Kame Hame Ha.

>>160098289
Mana* sorry autocorrect fucked me up

>>160098245
Also, that old man Elliot is a fucking hack. He managed to rip Westcott's arm off even though he's an underdog?

>>160098345
He could use the all the power within him at free will and wasn't limited to manifest angels.

>>160098397
Westcott only has a book as weapon and he was using to trap Shidou and co in that fairy tale world.

>>160098417
Well yes that's what I was saying spiritual energy. Though I'm not sure if he can normally do that(but doesn't know) or it was a side effect of him overflowing with energy.

>>160098536
He can't do that in his current state.

>>160098530
Plus to summon Nibelcol and other monsters.
Also I wonder if Nibelcol is the inversed Nia of the saphira crystal

>>160098627
He didn't summon Nibelcol until he wanted to kill Shidou and those monster can be blown away easily by Shidou who is not that strong. Those Marina clones are jus creations from the book and nothing more just like those shadow monsters.

>>160098627
Nibelcol sounds more yandere than Kurumi honestly.

>>160098783
Kurumi is not a yandere.

>>160098729
Yea I don't know that well since I just read the summary. Any idea how translations on volume 16 are going?

>>160098783
Since when is Kurumi a Yandere?

>>160098803
They sound more like a Yangire.

>>160098729
It's just that he got caught off guard. We'll surely get to see fight back if they attempt to kill him again as he's aware of the situation now.

>>160098926
She's not a yangire, either.

>>160098926

>>160098951

>>160098390
I don't think Mana is strong enough to defeat Ellen.

>>160098245
I think Ellen's sister will be the one who defeats Ellen.

>>160099068
Maybe not yet but I'm hoping for some more development since she didn't get enough screentime.

>>160098352
I think this was a Shidou between post memory loss and pre vol 0 Shidou.

>>160099123
Maybe. We don't know how strong she is yet.

>>160099189
She probably will get a new suit. The current one looks too old, just look at how big it is while the top wizard suits are very thin.

Wasn't it stated by Ellen that her sister is one of the few human characters who can defeat her?

>>160099470
What do you mean? DAL threads are for discussion unlike clock threads.

>>160099650
That never stopped artists to draw doujins before. The series is just not that popular and most of the girls fall into irrelevance very quickly.

>>160099675
Yeah.

>>160099675
Not only that, now they are hiding the files behind passwords.

>>160099840
I don't know about that, Neptunia has far too few doujins for a franchise of its popularity so I'm guessing it's her god tier art that's the reason.

>>160099906
What are you saying? Neptunia is a very niche series and not nearly as big as you think it is, also

>doujins for a niche videogame series
Good luck with that.

Since we are at full circle now, who will have the next focus and cover? I'm guessing Tohka or Kotori since it's due time to rotate back to earlier Spirits.

>>160100058
It's not a circle considering after Origami two new girls appeared and Kurumi is still unsealed so Shidou has to settle things with her.

>>160100058
He lost his chance to develop Kotori in vol 12. In the end nothing happened between Kotori, Shidou and Ratatoskr.

>>160099433
That won't spread the series that much. Neptunia is not that big in the west.

>>160100058
Tohka has been present in the first 7 volumes a lot and at the end of Natsumi arc, her inverse form appeared twice but since she is the main girl I expect to see her again for no good reason.

>>160098842
No idea but the translator seems to like Kurumi so he should be translating it.

Anyone has a link to that Reine short story? I've been waiting to read it.

>>160100373
Tohka doesn't have that much spotlight any more.

>>160100505
Yeah, she doesn't but she still finds a way to be there even if she is not necessarily needed.

>>160100123
Kurumi's arc is still in-progress unless volume 17 puts Kurumi's development on hold for some other time.

>>160095483
She always wanted to be liked and help people, but couldn't. She is helping a lot in the latest volumes. She said to Nia that friendship is beautiful when her herself hated everyone else.
She's clearly changing, but just being negative as a joke in other situations.
C'mon, it's like you don't even pay attention to what you're reading.

>>160100730
Loli Natsumi is a bitch though.

If you're talking about when we were starting to know her, yeah, she was. Now she isn't like this anymore.

>>160100731
That hardly an achivement when her behavior remained almost the same. It's like considering Miku a good girl just because she tried to save Shidou once but her annoying behavior and character interaction is what we see most of the time. Natsumi as a character is not bad but she is not good either.

>>160100769
Hardly anymore. But even back then, bitchy loli Natsumi was still very cute and head pat to make her into a sweet girl worthy.

There should be more Mana. She's funny and so damn serious when it's not needed.

There aren't nearly enough Kurumi doujins

>>160101092
Define bitch. Protip: bitch != character you don't like due to the tinniest unpleasantness that you subjectively perceive.

>>160101092
If you hate her for the inferiority complex, you will never like her because that's how she is. Even in RL it's hard for people to change intirely, so it's ok.
>>160101202
But just because you don't like that about her, it doesn't mean she hasn't change.

>>160101092
She got over that inferiority. She's just very negativistic and has a lot of ridiculous scenarios in her head that makes her a ton of fun and I love her relationship with Yoshino. I remember in the Origami arc how she was toying with Shidou it was really great.

>>160101243
A reminder that 2d nipples are okay on an nippon Christian image board.

>>160101273
And yet, for a girl that was selfish at first, to put herself in danger to help Shidou against Muku it's a lot to consider.

>>160100769
So is inverse Tohka, Kurumi, Kotori, Origami, the twins, Miku, Nia, Ellen, and Reine/Phantom in their own different ways.

>>160101257
I never said she hasn't changed, that much is obvious but her behavior is what annoys me.

>>160101273
She still has that inferiority complex, people doesnt't change that easily. Her relationship with Yoshini is shallow and doesnt go beyond doing cute things and it was only possible after destroying Shidou's relationship with her.

>>160101429
Oh, ok then. There's nothing to discuss about that.

>>160101395
How so? Tohka changed the same volume she was introduced, the twins are very friendly, Nia is just a tease. Ellen and bitches. Kotori is just rude but that's part of being a Tsundere and she doesn't go punching Shidou around like most modern Tsunderes.

>>160101329
That just shows her growth and character development. Even in the Nia arc she really impressed me honestly teaching Nia about friendship and her determination to finish her work(Shidou's manga)

>>160101395
Kurumi, Miku and Ellen are bitches but the others? I don't think so.

>>160101520
I love that Natsumi is getting all these attention from the author, but we need more illustrations of her. Last volume had nothing, unfortunately.

>>160101437
>destroying Shidou's relationship with her
What are you talking about

>>160101395
We still don't know Phantom's motives to call her a bitch but if she turns out to be using Shidou then yeah she would be a bitch.

>>160101437
The one who destroyed Shidou and Yoshino's relationship is Tachibana. He even tried to revive Yoshino with Natsumi, but the other one got more popular and useful.

>>160101674
The fact Natsumi thinks Shidou will do some bad to Yoshino for some reason.

>>160101674
Shidou barely interacts with Yoshino in the LN and short stories, now Natsumi is always with her and the cute brother-sister relationshio they had was forgotten by the author.

>>160101779
But he can easily write something with Yoshino and Shidou alone with no Natsumi involved but no, now Natsumi is always to her side to "protect" her.

>>160101502
Because they aren't submissive and completely kind, but have attitude, selfish, threatening, or do things that aren't wholly kind, ergo a bitch.

>>160101562
See above.

>>160101709
She already is for exploiting and turning human girls into Spirits for her own plans. Let's not forget she's been deceiving everyone.
