Date A Live F Last Date anime film gets March 2027 release date
Date A Live F: Last Date is a new anime film and the final chapter of Shido and Tohka’s story, opening in Japan on March 26, 2027.
Date A Live F: Last Date has been confirmed as a completely new anime film, with the official website listing a Japanese theatrical release on March 26, 2027. The announcement also identifies the project as the final chapter of Shido Itsuka and Tohka Yatogami’s story and includes a new teaser PV. 1
The final chapter gets a date
The release date is currently confirmed only for Japan. The official site does not announce an international cinema run or a streaming window, so viewers outside Japan should treat March 26 as a Japanese theatrical date rather than a worldwide launch. The project’s “final date” framing places it as a conclusion to the central story, not a side project detached from the existing anime. 1
New film, returning cast
The official credits list Junji Nishimura as director, Fumihiko Shimo as scriptwriter and Naoto Nakamura as character designer, with animation by Fugaku and distribution by ANIMEC. Koushi Tachibana remains the original creator and Tsunako the original illustrator. Nobunaga Shimazaki returns as Shido Itsuka, while Marina Inoue returns as Tohka Yatogami. 1
The teaser PV gives the announcement a clearer shape, but it does not reveal how the final conflict will resolve. The production has confirmed the film format, its Japanese date and its principal staff; plot details beyond the final-chapter premise remain limited. 1
What happens next?
For international fans, the next useful update will be a confirmation of overseas distribution or streaming. Until then, the Japanese cinema date is the firm piece of information, while the teaser provides an early look at the film’s tone rather than a complete synopsis.
Our opinion
A firm Japanese release date is a meaningful upgrade from a project announcement because it gives Date A Live F: Last Date a real production milestone and confirms that the story is being positioned as a theatrical finale. The returning leads and the staff details make the announcement feel deliberate rather than vague, but the lack of international plans is the obvious limitation. The film now has a date to build towards; it still needs a wider distribution plan before fans elsewhere can know when the final chapter will actually reach them.
