The 12th and final episode of the Date A Live IV television anime announced on Saturday that a fifth season is in production. The new season will air under the title Date A Live V.

The anime series adapts Koushi Tachibana's sci-fi romance light novel, which began publishing under the Fujimi Fantasia Bunko label in March 2011, featuring illustrations by Tsunako. Fujimi Shobo published the 22nd and final volume in March 2020. Date A Live has a cumulative 6 million copies of its compiled volumes in circulation.

AIC Plus+ produced the first anime season in Spring 2013. The second season by Production IMS premiered in 10 episodes the following Spring. The Date A Live: Mayuri Judgment anime film screened in Japan in August 2015. J.C.Staff produced the third season, which aired in Winter 2019.

The fourth season by GEEK TOYS premiered on April 8. The animation studio also produced the two-part Date A Bullet spin-off movie, which opened in theaters in August and November 2020.

@benjic665 I took a superficial look at the BD version. There are no extra scenes, and I didn't notice any corrections either. But there might be corrections; I just haven't seen them.

Unfortunately it is to be expected. This S4 didn't manage to do the least, having extra scenes was very unlikely.

For season 4, the blu ray version brings anything interesting? Because no one is talking about it, are there new scenes? a notable graphic correction?

Breh who watches this. I thought people stopped watching after S2.

people who understand good storytelling. There has been foreshadowing since episode 1. Who complains of a 48 episode length of a 10 year old show

Really?

I recalled S1 had a BD cut with mostly fixed scene AND a Director's Cut which had those fixed scenes on top of having extended scenes.

I'll be truthful: I watched FFF's version of the BD Date A Live S1. It wasnt completed. The most significant one to me was the pre-OP scene in eps 10, where there was a little skirmish Kotori had with Kurumi before the actual fight itself. This skirmish didnt exist in the BD version; after her taunt, the OP played and we cut to this scene:

Well, I think in S2 you'll find more significant things then. It's actually a shame that most people haven't seen this version, many scenes are better. When Miku talks about her past, for example, it's much more natural in the BD version.

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

Basically, the Director's Cut of S1 apparently had an additional 30 minutes worth more scenes over the BD.

Season 3 does not have a new scene on BD version right ??

I might just re-watch season 1 and 2 Director's cut BD because I only watched TV version

Unfortunately not. The BD version of the S3 couldn't even fix the poorly done character designs, which a lot of anime that has production issues do on the BD.
I highly recommend watching the BD version, apart from the extra scenes (which should total about 2 episodes in the S2), the BD version is always a more polished version, so they also fixed several things in the animation.

@MaouHero
Thanks, I wish I'd known about those in 2016. I don't think I will be rewatching season 2, because I didn't like it enough the 1st time. I don't even know if I'll be rewatching season 1, as much as I loved it. I still gotta read the novels and check out Rio Reincarnation.

Which version is available on official streaming services? That's the one I saw.

The streaming versions are always the TV versions. Both S1 and S2 have extended versions. I highly recommend.
Here is an example of a cut scene in the TV version(in the TV version, only a scratch appears on Kurumi's neck and Mana jumps on shidou) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTvckhhRlVI

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

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.

I loved it when I was 20+ but now some of the arcs seem too boring and edgy for me.

Was this season even more poor than season three?

I like season 3, and I think season 4 is the worst so far. Everyone tells me my opinion is wrong.

I've stuck with the last third of season 3 so far because the arc seemed incredibly boring to me.
