The official Twitter account of Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. (My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected) announced on Tuesday that the broadcast of the series' third season will not push through due to the coronavirus outbreak. The TV anime was supposed to premiere on April 10, but the slot will be replaced with a rerun of the series' second season.

In 2011, Wataru Watari and Ponkan 8 launched the light novel series and ended with a total of 14 volumes in November last year. Brain's Base adapted the novel into a 13-episode TV anime, followed by feel.'s 13-episode sequel.

Definitely not the kind of news anyone would want to hear but there’s no helping it, safety of the team working behind the scenes comes first.

Now, my two most anticipated tv series (Re:Zero S2 & Oregairu 3) plus my most anticipated movie (Violet Evergarden: the Movie) have all been postponed. Given how the dire the situation is, it’s hard to say when we’ll be able to see these but we’ll be waiting however long it takes.

This wouldn't have happened if the anime industry went full digital allowing everybody to work from home.. Maybe they'll do it now?

Honestly not surprising, surprised there aren't a huge chunk of shows that are getting delayed (although maybe now it will escalate given how Japan is starting to take measures)

Japan is about to go into state of emergency after a sharp rise in cases over the last few days

This won't be the last anime to get episodes delayed for a few weeks or be pushed to Summer entirely like this. No Guns Life S2 has also been moved to Summer

Well, the fans of the series are used to getting clockblocked by Watari anyways.

I've waited for years, I don't think it's a small delay that'll stop me...
If anything that's the luck for me to catch up and re-watch the last season out there.
@TsukuyomiREKT Kaguya felt much more funny than OreGairu. I would rather witness the hype still living, and Chika becoming enshrined as a meme goddess.

And here I thought I was already getting used to most things getting either postponed or cancelled already. This REALLY sucks, but I do wish for the production team to stay safe in these tough times.

The sooner this piece of crap virus gets eradicated, the better for all of us.

I dislike this show but goddamn it's disappointing because fans were looking forward to it for so long. It's understandable that many shows are getting delayed though we all just gotta be patient.

The virus' ripple effects across the land strike again.

I wasn't planning to watch as this isn't really my preferred type of series, but I'm just praying and hoping against hope that season 2 of the Fruits Basket reboot isn't shelved. If it was by a few weeks or even a few months (until the end of what would be this season's run and the beginning of summer), then not a big deal, but not to some far off date.

The theatrical premiere of the Made in Abyss 3 film is already delayed indefinitely in the U.S. which has been the only anime-related setback for me so far. Delayed probably pending when the movie theaters eventually decide to reopen, which are also closed indefinitely, so not much to go by.

I hope this decision saves a lot of industry workers the pain of suffering through covid-19, and that everyone involved is safe and healthy. "Delayed" is better than "Canceled (because the majority of our staff are too sick to lift a tablet pen)", even if it hasn't been confirmed when it will release yet. I'm sure the animators care a lot about releasing the show, as they've already put a lot of hard work into it.

Wasn't this HiDive's only exclusive this season? That must hurt for them.

Least that's less worry about more potential COVID-19 victims though. I'd feel pretty shitty having the staff be at risk just because I wanna see more Hachiman

Considering the events of the Coronavirus, it's understandable.

It does suck because me and many others were anticipating for the third season but I think most people can agree that during this pandemic, everybody should be safe and be taking care of themselves more.

Damn that sucks, I wonder how many more shows will get delayed over the coming months. If all this craziness is still as widespread come summer then I expect some summer shows to be pushed back as well.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

This genuinely made me really sad just after rewatching the first two seasons ready for this third to start.
Well at least I can hope the team are doing well and pulling through the crisis
My opinion is the correct opinion!
Though I’ll listen to you for now I guess baka
Who thought that getting a job would be a good idea when I have anime to watch

you can't record seiyuu's voice acting from their home , you need specific environment and instruments for that, so you can't make anime fully " from home" anyway.

Can anyone explain how the f*ck this damn virus led to delay of the ALREADY DRAWED
anime? I'm OK with RE ZERO, but this title got delayed just 2 days before the release. I remember leak of the ReLife in 2016, whole season was leaken in just 2 days, so it means that this title was completely ready even before date of leak.Therefore something tells me that the 3rd season of OreGairu was completely ready for broadcast to... But maybe I'm wrong. That's why I'm asking what's wrong now.

Not every anime is done by the time it starts airing. On an average 13 episode anime, the studios will usually have about 3 or 4 or maybe 5 episodes done. The rest is still being drawn or animated. Some anime do tend to get finished by the time it starts airing, like you said, Relife.

Btw, ReLife wasn't leaked. They've always planned on releasing the whole series on that website (can't remember the name); probably because of some contract agreement. Same thing happened with RikeKoi. They released the whole series in 1 day on Amazon but aired weekly on Japanese TV.

And it also literally happened this season with Jashin-chan Dropkick season 2, Amazon in Japan and Crunchyroll dropped the entire season during the day of its release in Japan.
