Date a Live (Japanese: デート・ア・ライブ) is a Japanese media franchise based on a light novel by Kōshi Tachibana. It has spawned different kinds of media, including an animated series, a series of visual novels, and films.

It is an extraordinarily wicked and sinful series, focusing on matters that appeal to the prurient interest. This series features excessive profanity, violence, and sexualized language and content that includes full nudity and other crass remarks and lesbianism on full display with character Miku Izayoi and public fetishism by way of the sinful antics of Origami Tobiichi. Lesbianism is a particularly prominent theme in Season 2, with Miku thirsting strongly for the feminine form and even leads to series protagonist Shido Itsuka crossdressing as “Shiori” in order to gain her favor, (violating Deuteronomy 22:5) and Miku only discovering the ruse by crassly fondling his genitalia.

The series begins with an exposition about environmental calamities being caused by otherworldly beings called “Spirits” and the protagonist Shido is to interact with them romantically to seal their powers and save them from death by the way of a paramilitary force instead of trying and testing the spirits as per 1 John 4:1.

The episode pans to a view of Shido being awaken by his 14 year old stepsister Kotori, in a salacious way with her behind being seen with undergarments visible and behind particularly prominent. The incestuous implications and age differences are especially reprehensible here. The episode establishes the premise of the series in dating and taming “spirits” with Shido meeting the first of such things, one that had become to be known as Tohka Yatogami. Tohka is a central force throughout the series, often behaving in sexualized ways and in provocative dress, sometimes even fully nude like in the shower or a spa. Many other spirits are found and birthed, including the aforementioned Origami who became a spirit during the third season, and before that her penchant of perverse things became known: in the Season 1 OVA (Date to Date) she even dressed and acted as a dog in a swimsuit wearing a makeshift leash out in public in front of children! This is in addition to other perverse practices as BDSM and Omorashi, which are shown at various points in Seasons 1 and 3, which if taken to be good practices by youth watching this program will give them over to a reprobate mind. (Romans 1:28)

Major antagonist and later anti-hero Kurumi Tokisaki is a central focus in this series, and she is known for crass and salacious behaviors including donning lingerie in both Seasons 1 and 4, preparing to show off her undergarments in Season 1 and all throughout the series using her salacious tantalizing seductress demeanor to achieve evil goals including genocide and torture and strongly implied rape of Origami. She also makes crass lewd jokes about Miku’s large brassiere in Season 2, only further carrying themes of lesbianism in that Season. Only in late Season 4 and Season 5 does she take the role of anti-hero. She is by far the most popular character in this series, her character being used to create many pieces of merchandise that often appeal strongly to the prurient interest given the nature of her character.

All in all, this is a series that strongly features sexuality, underaged incest, vengeance, extreme lewdness and crassness, and is inappropriate for youth despite being rated “TV-14” on the various releases of this series.
