On April 10, 2026, Kadokawa dropped an emotional bomb for fans of the beloved franchise with the release of the official teaser promotional video for Date A Live F Last Date — the brand-new anime project that will serve as the grand conclusion to the main story.
The roughly one-minute teaser, uploaded by the official KADOKAWA anime channel, wastes no time diving into the heart of what made Date A Live special over its 15-year journey. It opens with powerful lines of dialogue that echo the series’ signature blend of high-stakes action, heartfelt romance, and unresolved mysteries: “I’m going to save everyone, no matter what,” followed by emotional exchanges about locked hearts, friendship, love, and ultimately, “Now, let’s begin our final date.”
The video carries a clear message — the story that began with spacequakes, powerful Spirits threatening humanity, and a young man named Shido Itsuka who seals their powers through dates and kisses is heading toward its climax. It promises to finally reveal the remaining truths surrounding the Neighboring World, DEM, the origins of the Spirits, and the complex connections involving Shido, Takamiya Mio, and the girls who have stood by his side.
Check out the key visual.
A Franchise Reaching Its Peak
Date A Live, written by Kōshi Tachibana and illustrated by Tsunako, started as a light novel series under Fujimi Fantasia Bunko in 2011 and spanned 22 main volumes until 2020. It spawned multiple anime seasons (five so far), an original movie (Mayuri Judgement), a popular spin-off light novel (Date A Live Fragment: Date A Bullet), and various manga adaptations.
After five television seasons that took fans from the chaotic arrival of Tohka Yatogami all the way through intense battles and emotional growth, this new project — simply titled F Last Date — is positioned as the definitive ending that ties up the core narrative.

Fans can breathe a sigh of relief knowing the beloved voice cast is returning in full force:
