On Tuesday, March 5, 2024, the website for the Date A Live V television anime series confirm its release date of Wednesday, April 10, 2024 at 11:30 p.m. Japanese Standard Time.

That should translate to a release sometime during the day on April 10 for most international regions, with a select few instead seeing the series premiere in the early morning hours of Thursday, April 11.

The Date A Live V anime series will feature a returning cast and staff from prior series in the franchise but will also see new cast members to the franchise debuting in the coming series.

Likewise, the series was fittingly announced at the conclusion of the Date A Live IV anime in June 2022.

The Date A Live V anime series serves as the continuation of the television anime adaptation of author Koushi Tachibana and illustrator Tsunako’s original light novel series of the same name.

These original light novels have been adapted both into the television anime series and five manga adaptations, published by Kadokawa Shoten and Fujimi Shobo.
