FUNimation has updated their series page for Date-A-Live which previously listed just the twelve episodes that they had simulcast with the addition of the OVA release. This episode did not stream and is included as one of the special edition bundles with a light novel release in Japan that’s due out in December of this year. Most of the time these tend to be separate rights issues, more expensive and harder to procure, especially since it’s an incentive to draw fans to purchase the works, but we’re seeing more instances of those getting picked up these days.
Plot concept: 30 years ago, a disaster known as a spacequake obliterated the center of Eurasia without warning, leaving 150 million corpses in its wake. Ever since that day, mankind has lived in constant fear of the spontaneously recurring spacequakes. One day, an ordinary high school boy named Shido Itsuka discovers a mysterious girl at ground zero of a recent spacequake. Shido learns, through the help of his sister Kotori, that the girl is one of the Spirits: mystical creatures responsible for the genesis of the spacequakes. As captain of the anti-Spirit airship Ratatoskr, Kotori recruits Shido to help “seal” the sprits, thus ending their threat to mankind. There’s just one catch: the only way to seal a spirit – is to make her fall in love with you.
