Date- A-Live Episode 1 (Season 2)

*MINIOR SPOILERS FOR DATE A LIVE II EPISODE 1*

She was a great character In S1

So with the second series of Date a live airing I was super hyped for it as I loved the first series, so after watching the first episode I had pretty mixed opinions about it, for one the art style is different (for the worse in my opinion) and I felt that the pacing on the episode was rather unbalanced with it just skipping around jumping from one scene to another.
Now when I say this next bit you should know I have nothing against Tohka
 and I liked her a lot in the first season, but the way she acted just really annoyed me, I mean she took everything too far and took everything way too seriously, like the thing with the suitcase, she knew they were going on a trip and she should at least realise it's not real life, I mean Yoshino did shame she isn't best girl.

I get that they were doing essentially a opening season 2 Tohka reset to sort of remind you that she is the important one or something and arguably the main heroine but it just made me dislike her for that episode, there's cute and air headed and there's crazy, when doing an anime that is pretty much all filler and fan service there are certain things you have to do right and here that was balancing the way the character is portrayed in relation to that line, and it came off as way too clingy crazy than I've come to expect from her character, I mean we already have a girl who fits the crazy demographic (best girl).

Still I have high hopes for season 2 and I hope it changes for the better with the hurricane sisters blowing in (heh heh heh), and please DAL no more too over needy Tohka. Though it still has a similar feel to the first series with all the Origami  japes.
A 5 second city shot is all Kurumi got? I disapprove.

And as always, have a nice day

Edit: So It's been a long time since I wrote this and since then I'm surprised to say I actually didn't finish Date A Live Season 2, I think I stopped like episode 4 and dropped it for more interesting stuff,  for me personally the second season pales in comparison to the first and I was really disappointed, still don't let that put you of watching it if you want to, who knows maybe the after the hurricane sister arc is over it becomes a breeze to watch (I'm sorry) and It could reignite the charm that season 1 had but I have a lot more anime to watch before I come back to it.
