Who else is slightly worried

it's odd they went for this type of release instead of making sure to have stuff ready for weekly releases like other anime with good quality

They haven't delayed it though. Episode 1 was released early in celebration of the 20th anniversary, it was never meant as an official start for the show.

yeah but A-1 pictures prefers quality and money, money the most of all (look at seven deadly sins and fate apocrypha) if you have seen those then you will understand why i said this.

While I do have a feeling they’re facing production issues, there’s no reason for them to give us updates on a delay, as the show has yet to be officially delayed. It’s still slated for 2025. I’m betting on it coming out in Summer, tbh

It should also be noted that the novel series this is adapting has yet to conclude. The next volume is allegedly the final one. I say "allegedly" because Narita can get carried away sometimes :P

aniplex and mismanagement thats just the norm

i expect a lot of delays or even recaps for this when it finally airs too like how other aniplex anime did it like the recent case with nier automata

anyway march 23 there will be update on anime japan event here is the schedule https://www.anime-japan.jp/en/stage/

Trying real hard to make a drama out of nothing? While ignoring people who actually know whats going on.

@MegamiRem I'm not really a Drama guy, like I'm happy to wait... having said that I do know that not everyone is as non-nonchalant as me. I might be willing to wait to the end of this year, or 2026 summer for the next 11 episodes. But the majority of fans will not. People's patience is fickle, and with the amount of content that they have available at there finger tips, I can't blame someone for deciding the anime with a release schedule of 1 episode a year currently is something they'll skip.

Aniplex rushed the first episode to do the 20th anniversary thing, without considering how this sequence of a teaser for Whispers of Dawn for was it 2023, was pushed back and we first got a small sequence of the later released full Whispers of Dawn, waiting a whole year then got the first episode of the series - only to find out the show was gonna air some time in 2025. Not spring, not summer, not autumn not even winter. There's no clarification, and this is leading to the jokes online about the series handling being scuffed.

Right or wrong, the fact is this isn't how I imagine Aniplex really expected to be delivering the series, piecemeal. I think in hindsight, they'd have been better off dropping episode 1 a weak before they planned to do a full broadcast - that builds the hype, drums up anticipation. But all these false starts are only driving anticipation for the series down, not up.

Look at Walpurgisnacht Rising - they have clarified the production issues causing a now two year delay. At least Shaft and Aniplex there were up front. I think part of it is embarrassment - imagine this series getting another delay (as Whispers of Dawn was delayed). It why they used the '2025' as the cover, as there hoping to nail a more firm release within that window - but its broad enough that if they do miss it'll probably single some heads to roll.

Ironically, all peopple who are knowlagable about production and have lots of inside information behing the scene says that this production is absolute dogshit in terms of time and managment. Staff is incredibly strong though

And the irony of using an alt/bot account to reply while saying ironically lol.

This is worse than Zom 100 back in the August of 2023. I just don't know.

I'd like to simply repeat what others have stated, that I'd rather them delay (which they really haven't yet) the show than rush it for a result of lesser quality.
I hope they take their time with it and make it a worthy adaptation.
I've been waiting for this ever since the PV, 5, 6 years ago, I can wait one more.
Call this Fate/Silksong and count me as a believer

Would you think july 2025 is possible for the anime to release? If it doesnt get delayed is 2025 july possible?

thanks for the response. Yeah a delay could for sure happen, but we should see some information at anime expo atleast. It seems like that takes place july 3-6.


We still have the 2025 date that its set to air. Hopefully that holds up and is true. But as for now I guess all we can do is hope for the best

at first, I ignore this thread because I think this is the place where people leave out of the expectation would mad. but after Type Moon / Aniplex doesn't say a word about this, I have speculations that they:

1) have an argue w/ executives and missing A SHOOT because they keep hold up each other. the possibility is quite low but it have a high consequence if it's happen, both short term and long term.
2) A-1 have a time management problem because they are packed or lack of manpower (or both).
3) the staff, especially low key one(freelance, part-time,etc.) leaves the project unfinished. they stuck, leave in the grey and don't know what to do, so they choose "silent treatment".

I wish that all is not gonna happen, but we didn't heard any news about this project and leaves us in the blue is dissapointing.

It's already been half a year, ffs... how do you mess up your schedule THIS BAD??? Are we seriously going to get one episode per year?? What is this, Kara no Kyoukai

@TheMangaManiac I wish they'd come out and update the fans... any bit of news would be better. I just hope if the show is good - even if it airs end of the year, people will support it regardless of the lack of transparency - as I really wouldn't want it to tank over this.

@AnimePedestrian no, of course not. I don't want it to get low ratings/viewership neither.

I'd also appreciate a bare minimum of communication, because what they are doing to fans is criminal. Show us when everything is already done instead of showing one episode ahead of time and telling us to wait God knows how long.

The worst thing about this? Even when show airs, we know it won't cover everything, since the books are still being published. We wait this long to get just another incomplete adaptation
