It seems very much possible — there’ll be only a couple of volumes left.
Summary:
Fans love the new key visual and PV revealed for Date A Live.
Everything suggests that the anime is going to fully adapt the source material.
There are many theories about how the last few volumes will be adapted.
The Date A Live franchise has been going on for a while. It had its highs and lows — the third season especially was criticized for its rushed pacing and subpar visuals. Despite that, it still has a steady following, and fans have been eagerly awaiting more anime content.
The fifth season has been scheduled for this Spring. Despite that, we didn't have much information on it until now. With a new key visual and PV revealed, fans are speculating about whether the anime is going to adapt the entire story.
Can it be fully adapted?
The new key visual is absolutely epic, and fans are loving it. It looks like a perfect key visual for a final arc, and that's what this season seems to be, at least from the trailer. While there still is more content after the arcs that S5 is going to adapt, we're already in the last stretch of content from DAL light novels.
This makes fans think that the anime is going to adapt all the novels. While the anime has been juggled between the studios — each season from the first to the fourth has been made by a different one — it seems like it finally found its home with Geek Toys, who are responsible for both S4 and S5, as well as the Date A Bullet spinoff. This makes viewers hope that the studio will adapt the novels to the end.
Speculations about how the anime will end
This wouldn't be the first time for a long-running harem series to be fully adapted. Strike The Blood had its entire light novels adapted into anime, although in an OVA format past season 1. Date A Live fans wonder: if the anime is going to cover the entire series, how will it go past season 5?
The trailer suggests that S5 is going to cover volumes 17 through 19.
LNs ended at volume 22, and the last two volumes are a continuous story that can't really be broken into multiple episodes, which makes fans feel that it would be a perfect opportunity to release them as a movie.
That said, they are also pretty long, so the movie would have to have a runtime of over two hours as well.
This leaves the question of volume 20, which some fans suggest will also be included in S5.
4 volumes into 1 cour is a bit of a rushed pacing, but wouldn't be anything new for DAL.
Others suggest that S5 might end at volume 19, and the rest will be released as specials or OVAs, akin to Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin). S6 is also possible — fans really can only guess here, but regardless of that, they are very happy to see more of Date A Live.
