Date A Live II is the second season of the TV anime based on Koushi Tachibana's light novel series, first broadcast starting April 11, 2014, as a romantic-comedy battle anime. Shido Itsuka, an ordinary high schooler at Raizen High School, awakens to the power of 'sealing spirits' after his encounter with the first spirit, Tohka. These beings wield overwhelming power yet know only loneliness and battle, and there are only two ways to save them: destroy them by force, or go on a date to win their hearts and seal their power. Season 2 introduces new spirits — the twin sisters Yamai Kaguya and Yamai Yuzuru, and the idol spirit Miku Izayoi — deepening Shido's bonds with each of them. As various factions' schemes surrounding the spirits collide, the story also edges closer to Shido's own hidden secret.
