New episode up on Crunchyroll now. Quite amusing to see the show back and it looks like it retains the similar level of entertainment as before.

New OP song also looks nice too and it looks like the show is warming up for now.

Interesting how the fixed one of the problems from Vol.12s adaption. Turned it into something original with same result. Makes me wonder what they will do with the other important bits later on. Most likely ignoring them, at least for now, until they matter. Nevertheless, a great start.

I knew absolutely nothing about Nia coming in, and it was an absolute treat to find out how awesome she is throughout the episode. It's a shame she doesn't quite have the body to match all her teasing. I already love her, but the problem is that I'm not sure I can trust we're seeing the real her. She was freed by Kurumi after all, and she's not the kind of girl to do that sort of thing and ask for nothing in return. I'm basically waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I'm wondering what Raziel's limitations are because it sounds way too OP. If anything she writes or draws in it comes true, she could use it as a Death Note and more.

The way Westcott sounded, it seemed like their experiment of turning her Inverse might have already worked? Although she doesn't seem berserk like the other Inverse Spirits

Wandering Soul · 2022-04-08, 20:25

When she started displaying Raizel's abilities, I got some Rohan vibes. In some ways her angel could be more OP than his stand depending on it's limitations.

Master_Yoma · 2022-04-08, 20:47

Shidou really is just to nice helping a girl just like that bring her back home on his back with out knowing who she is

ryllharu · 2022-04-09, 06:47

What I do admire about DAL is that the adaptations are years apart from each other, the story picks up almost immediately where the previous one left off, and while I'm completely baffled at the beginning of the episode, I sort of remember it again as the episodes progress.

I was about to point this out too, she's become one of my favorites based on this episode alone, but Kurumi hasn't shown up yet so I'm assuming her issue/problem will start next episode

I was also expecting the narration to show up before the OP, so it was a nice surprise when the narrator suddenly tells us how she didn't show up to do the opening narration

I haven't really been paying attention and didn't see that DAL got a 4th season, or that it was airing this season, but I hope they pace the story better than what they did with s3.

Also Origami is still the best girl.

Frontier · 2022-04-10, 14:27

I kind of hope Ellen and Nia have a scene together, if only because Shizuka Itou and Hitomi Nabatame go way back, although maybe they were at least at the studio together

.

Anh_Minh · 2022-04-11, 16:10

It feels like I've missed something, but I don't really pay enough attention to remember more than the basic premise.

For example, I don't remember the girl that was being forcefully examined at all.

Frontier Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2013	Spoiler: Quite a way to start off a new season of DAL with the latest Spirit naked and strapped to an apparatus as Westcott's men are trying to turn her Inverse...and then Kurumi shows up to free her and have fun in the most Kurumi way possible . I was actually kind of bummed that they didn't have Kotono Mitsuishi doing the intro and waxing lyrical about whatever somewhat pertains to the content of the episode, but instead she's doing the next episode preview. Is that going to be the thing for this season? Either way, I'm glad to still hear her . The new Opening isn't by sweet ARMS, but Miyu Tomita does a great job of matching the kind of epic ballad theme we're used to from this series, and we get plenty of great images with Tohka in her normal and Inverse form, all the girls, the new Spirits, Tohka and Shido kissing, and Tohka fighting Nia...it also seems like Nia has a white Astral Dress, so is that her Inverse form ? Just when Shido's recovered from the finale of season 3, he walks in on his adoptive sister stripping his biological sister so they can thoroughly examine her. Yeah, I'm not surprised he just walked out of there . Shido's strong Harem energy is already hard at work when he happens upon a woman in need of help and gets to carry her, with her kindly offering her (modest) boobs and butt for his pleasure . We meet the next Spirit, Nia Honjo, who is a mangaka that Shido was familiar with and a true woman of culture that both works in and knows the industry by heart like a true Otaku and isn't afraid to tease Shido. I guess the one thing Shido's Harem was missing was a proper sexy adult woman (sorry Natsumi). Bonus points for being voiced by Hitomi Nabatame, who even at her age can still play a major character and Harem girl . No surprise Shido gets roped into working on her manga, although at least she has the decency to dress in sexy maid cosplay for him and offer his paycheck via her cleavage...even if she doesn't quite have the bust for it. Small-chest problems It turns out Nia isn't just self-aware about tropes, she's also a Spirit who deliberately set out to encounter Shido so she could use him, both to seal her powers to avoid detection and to make a deadline for her manga. And she's got a sexy nun Astra Dress that she's not afraid to show off . So her Angel is her book, Raizel, which can basically tell Nia whatever she wants to know about someone's past and circumstances, up to including the amateur manga Shido drew in middle school. I love how she critiques his female characters . "Now then, let's begin our date!" Man, it's nice to hear Kotori say that again . "Tokiya is my wife! Even if he's a guy, he's my wife!" Okay, was Nia written with Hitomi Nabatame in mind to begin with ? So it seems like the real test of Nia will be the fact that she's so self-aware of dating cliche's and lines that Ratatoskr can't come up with anything she won't know about, and that she's into 2D men, which leaves Shido at a big disadvantage as far as making her fall for him...although he did manage to have a lesbian fall in love with him, so I'm betting on Shido here . __________________
