Date A Live F Last Date sets new information special
Date A Live F Last Date will share new information during a free KADOKAWA Anime broadcast on October 25.
Date A Live F Last Date is heading towards its Japanese theatrical release with a new information broadcast scheduled for Sunday, October 25. The special will be part of Fantasia Bunko Daikanshasai 2026 and will feature four returning cast members, with Kadokawa promising the latest news about the anime’s final chapter. 1
The broadcast is due to begin at around 6 p.m. Japan time, following the event’s 5:50 p.m. opening. Nobunaga Shimazaki, Marina Inoue, Iori Nomizu and Asami Sanada are scheduled to appear, with Sayuri Matsui hosting. The programme will stream for free on the KADOKAWA Anime YouTube channel. 1
What the special could reveal
Kadokawa has not said whether the broadcast will bring a new trailer, additional visuals or more information about the film’s release. The official Date A Live account’s announcement confirms the cast lineup and date, but the contents of the presentation remain unconfirmed. 1
Date A Live F Last Date was announced in April with a teaser trailer, a key visual and the return of the franchise’s core voice cast. The official project site lists a Japanese theatrical release beginning on March 26, 2027. The film is directed by Junji Nishimura at studio Fugaku and adapts the final part of Koushi Tachibana and Tsunako’s Date A Live light-novel story. 12
The story follows Shido Itsuka and Tohka Yatogami after the conflict with DEM and Mio Takamiya. The project’s official introduction presents the new anime as the final chapter of Shido and Tohka’s story, continuing a franchise that has already received five television anime seasons and a theatrical film. 2
Our opinion
The broadcast is newsworthy because it has a firm date, a named cast and an official streaming home, even if the promised announcements are deliberately vague. The theatrical date gives fans one concrete milestone, while Sunday’s special should clarify whether the project is ready to show more than its existing teaser material. International viewers should temper expectations: the Japanese release is confirmed, but no overseas distribution plan has been announced. 12
