What Will Date A Live Season 5 Cover? Our Predictions
Date A Live V revealed that it will air 12 episodes in the upcoming season. But it will most likely cover volume 16 onwards, the endpoint for season 4.
If Date A Live season 5 does cover the light novel starting from volume 16, the truth about Kurumi's role in Shido's life and the world as a whole will be revealed.
Ratatoskr and DEM will be involved in a heavy face-off that will then set the ground for the story's ending, which could be great material for a final season or another movie.
The Date A Live series has gained several improvements since the anime's first season aired in 2013, including its budget, production, and art.
New and old fans alike have enough reason to hope for more Date A Live seasons to answer questions such as whether Shido and Tohka will end up together.
Date A Live Season 5 Confirms April Release Date
Date A Live season 5 is confirmed to premiere on April 10, 2024, at 11:30 PM in Japan. It will be broadcast on AT-X, and eventually on Tokyo MX, BS11, KBS Kyoto, and Sun TV. It will also be streamed on d Anime Store.
As of now, there's no word yet on the anime's international release date and time as well as the streaming platform. More details about its international release will likely be revealed soon.
