After five successful seasons, fans are now wondering if there will be a Date A Live season 6. After all, the anime has yet to fully adapt the entire light novel series, and there is enough source material left to produce another season.
Date A Live has been a beloved series among anime fans since its debut in 2013. The series, based on the light novels written by Koshi Tachibana, combines elements of romance, comedy, and supernatural action.
Is Date A Live Season 6 Happening? Here’s What Fans Think
As of writing, Date A Live season 6 has not been confirmed, so fans are concerned that season 5 will not have any sequels in the future, whether through another TV anime adaptation or a movie project.
This is due to recent tweets by Date A Live's light novel author, Koshi Tachibana, seemingly hinting that season 6 would not happen and that fans should begin reading the original work from volume 20 onwards to find out what happens to the characters.
In another tweet, the light novel author expressed his gratitude to fans for their support of the anime, as well as his joy at being able to once again experience the end of the anime's long journey.
Fans also speculate that GEEKTOYS, the animation studio behind the fifth season, will most likely pursue a new project rather than produce another season of Date A Live.
While Date a Live season 6 has not been confirmed, despite the concerns of fans, there is enough source material available to make another season.
What Could Date A Live Season 6 Cover? Our Predictions
If Date A Live season 6 happens in the future, it will most likely adapt the events from light novel volumes 20 to 22, summing up what has happened in the story.
In other words, season 6 will most likely include the remaining light novel volumes that have yet to be adapted into anime.
If so, Date A Live season 6 could be the final TV anime adaptation in the franchise, unless another studio or production committee decides to do a reboot.
There's a lot of source material left to adapt, including Yoshino expressing her affections for Shido, Tohka and Shido sharing their farewell kiss as the artificial world collapses, the disappearance of spirits, and Shido being attacked by the Beast Spirit, who has no memory of her name.
