The last season of “Date A Live’’ had fans on quite a precarious note with Shido Itsuka’s power going berserk. It was quite wholesome to see all the Spirit girls coming together and reaffirming their love for the MC.
But for fans of this classic harem series, who thought that they could jump into “Date A Live IV” on the franchise’s ten anniversary, they might have to rethink their plans.
The official website for the “Date A Live IV” anime series began streaming the trailer for the anime yesterday (September 10). The video at its end card revealed that the production committee has decided to postpone the anime release to 2022 for “various reasons”.
Additionally, the site also revealed the new staff members who are joining the anime production.
The trailer is everything we have come to accept from a franchise such as “Date A Live,” from action to waifus, this video delivers every front. Though there were too many girls to name, a few exceptional ones were the ruthless Tokisaki Kurumi and Princess Tohka Yatogami.
As for the delay, one of the main reasons could be problems at the animation studio Geek Toys, which recently postponed another fall anime as well. “Date A Live IV” was supposed to premiere this October, and the new schedule is yet to be announced.
The new staff members of Date a Live Season 4 includes:
| Position | Staff | Notable Work |
| Sub-Character Designer | Shiori Tanaka | Seven Deadly Sins: Revival of The Commandments |
| Art Director | Junki Nakata | Attack on Titan The Final Season |
| 3D Director | Kenichi Shirai | Resident Evil: Degeneration |
| Editing | Masato Yoshitake | SSSS.Gridman |
| Audio Director | Yasunori Ebina | Fruits Basket |
The new staff seems quite experienced, with many having worked on the latest hits like Attack on Titan and Fruit Basket.
Though getting postponed is nothing new this year, DAL fans are lucky as they can go through the expansive catalog of the franchise while the next installment in the anime series is in the works.
