Director Shinji Takamatsu mentioned on his Twitter account that the thirteenth and final episode of Sakamoto desu ga? will not be able to air on television. This is due to news coverage of the Kumamoto earthquakes in April which caused the episodes to be delayed by one week since the second episode.

Takamatsu describes the news as "truly disappointing" because the staff had crafted the final episode specifically for television broadcast. The fifth Blu-ray and DVD volume of the anime, which will include the thirteenth episode, which will ship on October 26, 2016.

Sakamoto desu ga?, produced by Studio Deen, has been airing since April 8. Nami Sano completed serialization of the manga last December.

Just hope it won't fall into a similar situation like Kekkai Sensen or something.

Hopefully Crunchyroll will be able to stream it or if they release any other way online before October. I can't wait that long! This is an outrage I say.

That's a shame. I wonder if the same will happen to any other series that got delayed. Like Kabaneri.

If it won't air in Japan then there's little chance Crunchyroll will stream it.

It already has with this news. The only difference being the episode will be of regular 23 minutes instead of an extended finale.

Like I said in a previous thread about this news, this is like Kekkai Sensen all over again. Quite unfortunate.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

It's a bit different then the kekkai sensen ordeal anyway.

Kekkai was intentionally delayed as they changed it runtime to 40+mins so it couldn't air in it's timeslot, we didn't even know an air date till months later so we were always in the dark.

This was unintentional due to the earthquakes in Kumamoto and we know when the episode will be available, October on the last BD.

Every final episode of a TV series is specifically intended for TV, so I'm not quite sure why that was included in the writeup (but I'm no news mod).

Don't worry: It's nothing remotely comparable. Kekkai Sensen was a production disaster, whereas it sounds like this had been prepared without a hitch.

This is a ruse. The truth is that the episode was just too fabulous, so we're not allowed to see it.

Rezero is not delayed. It's airing was delayed in some of the channels, but it has no effect on overall schedule beyond those channels. That has been confirmed already.

This is very unfortunate to hear, especially knowing that the staffs had something planned for the final episode. Couldn't they skip a middle episode instead? Like if they skip episode 7, they can air the last episode on TV, and just include episode 7 into the volume.

I hope they will air episode 13 if this anime will have a rerun. But I don't know if it has an effect on Crunchyroll.
