Looks like this was planned alongside with Episode 6's official title teaser for the next episode. Episode 7 will air next Friday instead. Anyways, Aniplex USA has the episode up on YouTube if anybody's interested... |

| Fuck I was looking forward to the new ep |
| clannad is the greatest piece of fiction to ever exist. |
| thank you for the update |
| Damn, that why live chart give too long for the time |
| Not to worry, chruncy isint even able to play it anyway so I guess Ill pass. See you all eps 7 |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| Why? They think that we are fools? Ridiculous. |
 |
| why even do a recap for an 12 episode show? I don't get it. Has something like this happened before? |
| FFS Who T F** needs a recap after merely 6 episodes?? Do Japanese have attention spy of house fly that they need to be constantly reminded "what was before"? |
| Ugh I hate these mid-season recaps, especially for shows that have little to no plot to recap like Mashle. If the studio needs time I'd rather they did a cast interview or commentary episode instead. |

| yeah.. i noticed no mashle ep today, and went here right after lmao. |

I think doing a recap episode, especially for only 6 episodes, is pretty pointless. Although people wouldn’t averagely watch cast and staff interviews of a show, that would be a better bonus than recaps. |
| at least the recap episode isn't part of the 12 episodes ig. |
 |
| It would make more sense to do a recap of 12 eps before S2 UNLESS... A-1 Picture is not planning on a S2 of this anime. |
 |
| this year has been an absolute trainwreck for delays. golden kamuy was gone for 6 months, Nier is still not back, what the heck are they even doing? i get that they are super stressed over timelines but other studios have managed and honestly at least make half a season before airing to give yourself more time. |
 |
| Again with this recaps... destroying the hype of the series... 👀 |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Sucks but hey hopefully it just means the next episode will be even bigger and better! |
 |
| ahhh pain the recap, now we have to wait for another week. |
 |
The studio, duh. Do Japanese have attention spy of house fly that they need to be constantly reminded "what was before"? No, but it seems like you need to be reminded that the animators are actually humans, underpaid, overworked, and probably don't want to hear about your entitled and insensitive tantrum. |

Kratonos said: Ri-KoRin said: B-b-b-but the animators!No, but it seems like you need to be reminded that the animators are actually humans, underpaid, overworked, and probably don't want to hear about your entitled and insensitive tantrum. That's not an excuse at all, blame executives who are incompetent running a studio and setting production times properly. What matters at the end of the day is that they offer a quality product. Justifying the mediocrity of a production just because they are so greedy that they don't well treat their low-level employees isn't the viewer's business. If they go bankrupt it will be because of themselves and their bosses, not because of the insensitivity of the ordinary television viewer. I mean, please read the whole thread before quoting me out of context. I wasn't stopping anyone from expressing their disappointment. 1. @Kratonos was literally throwing random insults at the Japanese just because of a recap ep. Which is completely unwarranted and borderline racist. 2. We don't know what is actually happening behind the scene. Most anime's production schedule doesn't have much wiggle room, so a myriad of things could delay the productions, and it is not always the exces' fault. mediocrity of a production just because they are so greedy that they don't well treat their low-level employees To this point, in most cases, the studio isn't even the most profited party. They are just a company contracted to produce what was planned out by the production committee, and have no ownership of the IP. |

Lucas1410 said: Why did they have to make a recap episode in between episodes. It would be good if they make recap after completion of season 1 or before airing season 2 for people who forget some details before watching season 2. ( I know that maybe it could be because of some production issue but still...) Very true hahaha I have no clue why they do this either |
| Whyyy, Its useless, on my part I dont need recap episodes ;o; Maybe an excuse to work an other week on next episode, alright ~ |
| the problem isn't JUST with the production company's schedule... it is the employee promotion, pay schedules, employees per team per job title, workflow and workload systems presently used in 100% of inside the studio structuring. as well as the crass commercialization of anime and the HUGE profits to be made by everybody involved. and WHOMEVER said the studios don't get a cut? or don't get a big enough cut? you're nuts. oookay. lemme school you kiddies who don't know how an anime studio's team is structured. we'll start on the bottom. animators. these are the grunts. the new hires. the guys n gals with less than 5 years experience. these folks DO the bare bones work, the huge projects, the sweeping long camera angle shots. the nitty gritty of a show. THE ROUGH STUFF. if a character walks, animators are doing it. around 40-60% of the work is SUPPOSED to be done by these folks. this structure is supposed to be a PYRAMID with the biggest number of folks at the bottom as animators doing the BULK of the work. but it isn't! present workflow has gone UP the ladder to the NEXT rung. making a HUGE bulge in the center of the pyramid for WORK FLOW! inbetweeners. these guys are SUPPOSED to put the animators work together with the NEXT RUNG UP guys the KEY ANIMATORS... i'll get to them next. problem is, animators are getting scarcer and scarcer because the grunts want promotions! after five years as animators they want to be inbetweeners but MORE OF THE ANIMATORS WANT TO BE KEY ANIMATORS! than inbetweeners. not MANY directors spent tons of time as inbetweeners, they went to key animator jobs as fast as they could. inbetweeners are also the 'fixit now' guys. the animators screwed it up, or late, or behind... it is given to the inbetweeners. if the key animators are overworked, the jobs get sent to the inbetweeners. these guys are the 'middle management workers'. now, if not enough of these guys stick around because THEY WANT PROMOTIONS TOO! the remaining inbetweeners have BIGGER workloads than before because their colleagues went to other studios for higher paying or better jobs. key animators. the 'supposed true artists' of an anime team. these folks do the fine work. the detail work. the few folks in a studio's team that STILL DRAW BY HAND AND MAKE CELLS! faces. expressions. mouths. eyes. hands. interactions with props. delicate hair. delicate cloth. this is some of the MOST DETAIL ORIENTED AND TIME CONSUMING parts of the production schedule. usually separated into their own sections are the backgrounders and colorists and finishers. backgrounders make the settings. the buildings. the skies. the ground. the trees. the foliage. annnd THE MOB CHARACTERS! WELL... some mob work is done by the grunt animators. but backgrounding has taken on SOME of the load for mobs/crowds since they're presently considered background animations. the colorists make it pretty. and the finishers polish EVERYBODY's work and try to fix any issues the inbetweeners missed shoving the grunt animators' work together into the key animators' work. then you move into 'management and leadership'. team leads. section leads. etc. then there's the separate sections for actor recording, music, sound, foley, SFX, editing EVERYTHING together, photography/mastering everything into the digital files for final presentation to the public, annd the directors and sub-directors annnd above everybody else the studio leadership and corporate drones. now. if you want to consider OUTSOURCING? UGHHHHSSS... pretty much everybody's job on a team can be 'shipped out' so to speak. well. except for the big leaders and directors and corporate types. then there's work from home/remote work... annd all the issues inherent in that system. so that's pretty much everybody. as i said, inbetweeners are getting overtasked these days. they're understaffed. the animators are chomping at the bit to hop over the next rung to keys. but that section of the pyramid is jealously guarded and protected. and if one issue arises and not enough folks exist or have the time to fix it? the shit-storm might get bigger and cause a huge delay. 9? month delay in Shield Hero S2. Spider-sekai CGA outsourcer screwing the pooch. god forbid another KyoAni fire type disaster. if Mashle's 6.5 was planned out from day 1? sigh. irritating but it must have been necessary. if it was a last minute, 'oh shit! throw a recap together and ship it to the networks! now!' somebody's ass is going to be handed to them by their bosses. |
| just an ol school otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either. |
