(L) Date A Live [Light Novel]

[Estzero1]

Yeah, that's an option. As far as I know there weren't any chances regarding the staff for that movie. So if that's the case the people in charge for DAL will stay the same.

But that’s what I mean, was that latest issue before or after IMS announced bankruptcy? The issue may have been from before they realized S3 was sunk.

Nah, and even if, I don't think that would change this much. They never stated a studio to begin with. So it shouldn't be a problem to change it.

...No, that's not usually how this stuff works. It would realistically have been after they recieved word of it. Honestly, at this point, it's kind of looking like IMS was never the studio behind it at all.

[Shinji103]

Well, I sure hope you guys are right. If s3 is still on, they should be saying the same “in production” message in the next issue of Dragon Age. Or there’ll be some other mention of it if there’s any kind of event or something before the next issue.

Somewhat relatedly, at this point it’s pretty much sealed that Griffon’s Grand Toys label has gone under too. The website has been offline for months, and their latest release, the Miku figure, has been delayed again and again. I hope Griffon makes a new label for figures; in addition to the Miku figure, they had revealed two upcoming Kurumi figures, one of which we had seen a non painted prototype of. I knew when I saw their scheduled release list back when Grand Toys first started and I saw Kurumi was on the list of planned figures, when they showed they were doing the other characters first I just knew something like this would happen before the Kurumi figures were released. >.< Now I just hope the same fate doesn’t happen to Alphamax’s and Pulchura’s Kurumi figures.

On that note, does anybody know a good blog or website that covers character figure events like Wonder Festival? I used to read Moonlit Saki, but due to personal issues the blog master won’t be able to maintain figure coverage and posts.

When I read the news about the bankrupcy of the studio I almost had a heart attack, I´ve been waiting fo so long for thsi thrid season so I hope you are right and another studio is behind the new season.

[tuckersister]

I think it's better for another studio to do the third season.

wew that was so early than i excepted i hope we have 22 volume in total.. if DAL ends in 20 i feel it will be somewhat a bit rushed..idk..anyway can't wait for the next vol , it's going to show us if Reine become her own persona or na, will shido save the spirits or na.... I think issac will show at the end and take Mio's or shido power becoming the Final Boss... somewhat the events of 30 years ago will repeat again lel but this time btw reine and shido ....

Honestly with how things are going there are at the very most two volumes left in the series maybe three with some stretching. Also new volume is coming in around my Birthday!

Let's hope Reine VS Mio does happen.

As an actual fight? Highly unlikely. Reine is to Eyepatch Kurumi what Mio is for real Kurumi - she doesn't want to fight or kill her, she wants to change her mind. Besides, just like with Kurumi's clones - if Mio died, Reine would too.
I could see a verbal argument, though.

[cyberdemon]

If Mio absorbed Reine after Shidou dated her and got Reine to love him, then it is possible that it could affect Mio's feeling for Shidou and not just Shinji. Might cause some conflict between them.

Conflict, yes. But not a pew pew laser fight.

If this is the last volume, I totally called it being called 'True End'. V18's afterword kind of implied V19 would be just the penultimate, though...

this vol will finish Mio's arc probably , where westcott gets her power and kill off Mio then vol 20 will be probably final battle westcott & DEM vs shido and spirits and ratatosk then the end .....unless author going to end everything in next vol and do 1 last volume show us their life after....

can't wait to see who we getting in the cover.....usually how much time goes until we get a simple of the cover ?

We only get the cover early if there is a Dragon Magazine issue the month before - and there isn't.
We'll see the cover on August 1st.

Steal her powers probably, but I do not think he will kill her (for something the volume is called Mio True End).

My main bets are Mio (as Reine), Shidou in Astral Dress (or armor in this case) and Tohka (because she is the main girl).

Who’s to say her True End isn’t her dying? A True End isn’t the same thing as a Good/Happy End, a lot of them end bittersweet with the hero or heroine, or even both, dying. The True End to Rio Reincarnation had

Spoiler:

Rio and Rinne “dying” and Shidou and everyone coming back to the normal world.

Maybe Wescott kills her and Shidou brings her back like she brought him back, in the way I theorized a while ago.

My main bets are Mio (as Reine), Shidou in Astral Dress (or armor in this case) and Tohka (because she is the main girl).

My bet is Mio, either in an alternate form (maybe Reine) or possibly her Inverse if she has one.

Ooohhhh, there’s an idea; maybe Shidou finds a way to stop her next volume and in her despair at not being able to bring Shinji back she goes Inverse. I’m not sure I even want to know what her Inverse would be.
