[Spoilers] Date A Live V - Episode 6 Discussion

276

good episode

story: perfect on the story of isaac, elliot and ellen. This one follows the LN perfectly! as for the killings, the emotion was there.

animation: it wasn't geektoys who did the episode but a third-party studio, so there were a few 2d and cgi flaws, but MIO was PERFECT with her tree.

episode 7 and 8 will be even more intense in terms of rhythm and emotion.

VERY slow episode imo. But then again, it also makes perfect sense with whats to come. Actually excited to see how they deal with the rest!

Kaguya and Yuzuyu deaths have been the most brutal so far. I guess it's fortunate that Yoshino was only shot, not stabbed.

Mukuro's sealing ability with Mikhail would have actually worked if Mio had not deployed her "territory". But now Muku is dead, so that option is out.

I thought Elliot would be able to help against Mio. But looks like he's already spent on defeating Ellen.

looking forward to next week!
this is getting so good.

Every time I see a character get stabbed, all I hear in my mind is : "YOU ARE MY SPECIAL"
This really be turning into the spirit of origin incident arc

Although I know more or less how it will end, it's very painful to see all the girls dying as quickly as flies, today I suffered a lot seeing the end of Mukuro and poor Yoshino.

I don't know about you, but to me the abrupt shove in of the backstory for these three mages, let alone the critical information that magic has existed for a very long time that has influenced the creation of sirens, feels like bad writing. It just doesn't sit right with me that it happens so suddenly without much of an explanation, and feels like a rushed attempt to restructure the narrative and fix the logical flaws in the story through an explanation that felt like it hasn't popped up much at all or none in the first place (as far as I'm aware).

Although I'm enjoying this, the quality of writing is making it painful as it struggles to keep itself together while not exploding into a mess, making the whole ride a flaming train that could blow up.

  How is it bad writing when spirits exists only because of that?

  There was never a strong indication that their world already had people capable of casting magic, all the sirens were seen as intruders from a different world without a clear purpose for their existence or powers. This evil group of people you're introduced to want to take said powers, with again, no clear indication of genuinely possessing magic as some of them appeared to have the powers of sirens, as it'd be the logical conclusion to reach. It was a good mystery that could've had a grand reveal, but it just... fell flat from a half-assed explanation that feels disingenuous and illogical in how it'd connect to their world that had all the technological advancements with no indication of magic whatsoever, only beings that didn't belong to their world. That's why I see it as bad writing.

  it's not true, there were many foreshadowings of the fact that isaac, ellen and elliot were not human, as early as season 2! they don't age and we learn that their technologies are very advanced and based on.... magic of course.
  
  They have no connection with the appearance of various spirits, which are Mio's creations...
  
  in fact, this trio of magicians belong to THIS WORLD, not to be confused with the parallel world of Mio, who is the original spirit, who has nothing to do with this whole story, she has simply been invoked.

  I do excuse if I may be speaking out of my ass (hell, 10 years is a long time to have last seen the early seasons), but regardless, it never occurred that much that they would've originated from this world if they were to possess magic, it always seemed that they either reached out to or came from a different world entirely to have such capabilities in the first place.
  
  You can correct me if there was a strong indication of said magic prowess before this particular episode, as I am curious if I missed anything.

I don't think my heart can take anymore on what's going to happen in the next few episodes
