| HYPED AF, but i wish they do a better Action Scene in the next season, they should reduce the use of CG in action scenes |
 |
| Hopefully we won't have to wait long for this season. |
 |
| Well that was fast lol N I C E tho |
 |
| Hoping no delays this time around though, like what happened with this fourth season. |
 |
| I suppose the rumours of a 5th season was true after all. No idea how much content is left but it feels like this could get a full adaption, which is great to see! |

| Will this series never end lol |

 |
| NICE! Hope it won't be too long. Will GEEK TOYS break the one studio per season of this anime?? 😆🤣 Date A Live will receive a complete adaptation eventually. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Mid is getting another season. Let's goo!!! |

| Nice to see the series continue! Not much anime can manage 5 seasons. |
 |
| So will S5 be the Finale of this series ? |

Marcus5768 said: Now we just need S5 announcement of Highschool DxD as well I hate to say this but DxD series is over , the sales of Blu-ray ( Especially in Japan ) & Ln copies are not promising enough to make it as Anime Project .. I loved this show very much to the point I wished it gets full adaptation but this is how anime industries works .. let's hope we get at least full adaptation of Date A Live since it is similar to DxD somehow |
For your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And honour your parents. If one or both of them reach old age in your care, never say to them ˹even˺ ‘ugh,’ nor yell at them. Rather, address them respectfully. And be humble with them out of mercy, and pray, “My Lord! Be merciful to them as they raised me when I was young.” (Holy Quran 17:23-24). |
| Very happy for fans. Not many seasonal anime can reach five seasons. And here I am waiting for a new Index season... |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |

| Wow, can't believe they might actually adapting the whole thing. So far they've adapted vol 4 s1, vol 7 s2, vol 12 s3, 4th season maybe around vol 15-16 I'd imagine. And the LN is finished with 22 volumes. So if they make it a 24 episodes they could be done with it in s5. Still feels ridiculous they're potentially adapting 22 volumes of an anime like this. |
Ramkec said: Breh who watches this. I thought people stopped watching after S2. Their fans... No, people hated S3 because it was horrible animated and directed. 5 volumes in 12 episodes was a mistake (specially the episode 12, an entire volume in just one episde, lol). Giving to JC Staff in their lazier and worst phase ever (the times they ruined OPM2 and Index3, all at once) was a even bigger mistake. G0ldStark said: this is a joke? how much does this anime sell to have obtained 5 seasons? Chinese hard carry this, Date a Live is a huge success there, SPECIALLY Kurumi. Has multiple mobile games just there, figures, etc. And it will probably get a S6, as there are 7 volumes to go until the end, and no way in hell they gonna cram all those volumes in 12 episodes. Krumi Wars/Ragnarok, Mio Game Over, Mio True End are the probable volumes the wil adapt for this one (17 to 19, and maaaaybe the 20). Wonder if Ousama Game will ever get a anime adaptation, or even a manga... |
| FGO NA Code: 482.072.599 (F2P thug life of savings...) Ben-to! best nonsensical action anime. Ever. |

Don't believe the "show is too popular in the west" etc. No DxD figures are being announced that aren't reissues. DxDs isn't even halfway through the lns at this point since they chose they overestimated their resources and went 2 lns per season which is too slow nowadays. Fantasia Bunko is barely promoting the series anymore |

Hopefully, the BD/DVD release of the movie won't take ages though. |

Ramkec said: Breh who watches this. I thought people stopped watching after S2. Same. I stopped after season 2, it was just boring. I'm surprised it's still going compared to some other anime that did really well and yet didn't get a second season :o |
| Gotta thank all the Kurumi merchandises for funding another season of Date A Live. LOL! |
 |
| what is this clickbait. i'm just lucky it's not produced by experienced animators or should i say minimal budget for this one. well kurumi is a live yes |

|
| @RobertBobert Even if you like season 4 more than I do, I don't think you will enjoy every arc. Not all parts of the season are equally hyped. |

| dal iv episode 12 is easily one of the best anime episodes you will ever see in your life so the first 3 seasons is worth it |
StalkerFairy said: Personally though, I thought S2 was better than S1 and is the season I compare the others to (though, Im abit biased towards IMS (RIP) ) Note that unlike S1 which had crucial scenes removed, S2 has no Director's Cut. Literally my biggest complaint about S2 was how...underwhelming the apparent most famous scene was executed(but that's mostly my fault for having higher expectations) But the S2 also has an extended version on the BD. Where there are several new scenes, like Kurumi's head flying and shidou getting covered in blood, Miku talking about committing suicide before turning into a spirit, etc. There are episodes that are 24 min in the TV version and 30 in the BD version |
