Date A Live IV Ends with a Highly Awaited Announcement for Season 5

Date A Live IV really opened our eyes, and suddenly the ‘Worst Spirit’ wasn’t as evil as we had imagined. As the season’s ending approached, Kurumi’s character got more and more likable.

Shido still has a long way to go, as his mission is not over yet. Still, a bigger disaster is looming over him now, and the anime’s fifth season will address it in its entirety.

Episode 12 of Date A Live IV not only carried the season’s finale but also confirmed the anime’s fifth season. The series’ original illustrator, Tsunako, also drew a visual to commemorate the announcement.

The last episode of the anime, “Samson of Salvation,” adapted the entirety of volume 16 of the light novel.

Date A Live has 22 volumes, and it’d be crazy to fit all six remaining volumes in a single season. Thus, the anime might adapt volumes 17, 18, and 19 for season 5, leaving the rest for a sixth season or maybe a concluding movie.
