Date A Live - ep02

The interesting thing is the direction that this series is going in because it is becoming the exact opposite of “the world that only god knows”. Instead of these Japanese games working as dating simulators, where they are suppose to help Shido but ironical it turns out that they just makes things the situation worse. They compound on this problem by having him also receive dating advice from people that are failures in the art of love, that none of this people would you actually want help from. That at various point throughout the episode, the things that he thought up by himself actual works better than the advice the “experts” give him.

Then there the fact that they had him trying to ask out a couple woman before he goes through with the real thing. However I don't know about their idea of anyone would do. This results in him first asking out his teacher, but given by fast she response it might have not been the best of ideas. Then in his desire to flee his marriage obsessed teacher he runs into Origami. Although she might not be the best choice to practice on either since she is his stalker, also since her goal is to kill all spirits especial this because she implied that it is responsible for her parents death. Then ironically when his sister feels that he has had enough practice a space-quake occurs which is centralize on where he currently is.

This leads him to what he has been preparing for his reunion with the spirit. It turns out that she is isn't comfortable with someone actual trying to talk to her, this leads her to be suspicious of Shido's actions. That is because in the times that she has appears everyone just tries to kill her, this is probable the leading reason why she wishes to converse with Shido. That in the end he is the only one that has approached her without any feeling of hostility. Then when Shido discovers she doesn't have a name and ask for him to give her one. It turns out that he made a bad decision to go to his sister for help since her advice also got him kill. Although it turns out she approves of the second name but name her Tokka is a bit ironic since the name he gave her is base on the date that they first met.

Things get a bit complicate when AST get involved, but the question is that did Origami attack Tokka because she now had a reason to act when she believe that Shido was her hostage or did she honestly believe that she was saving him from the spirit. This just has to happen just as Shido finally asks Tokka out on a date. Then after this confrontation Tokka disappears, that initial this disappoints Shido because he believe that he will have to wait for the next quake before he can see her again. However next they met he will at least know what to call her. Although it turns out that Tokka hasn't gone far, that she was just waiting for everyone else to leave so that she could be alone with Shido so that he can take her out on a date like he promised. It seem that he succeed in asking her out but will he survive the date.
