Huh. Well, that doesn't really surprise me as much as it probably should. With how much of a shitshow the animation in this anime was even BEFORE they took a two-week break only to release one of most poorly made episodes I've ever seen in my life, I've always considered it a possibility that Hoods Entertainment might just cut their losses and bin the whole thing. But still, damn, this makes even the guys over at Actas studio seem on the ball when it comes to having a release-schedule, lol.

You've got to feel sorry for the original creators (yes I know Tomohiro Matsu is no longer with us but it's an insult to his legacy) and the fans when you get a trainwreck-tier adaptation attempt like this.

It's like a real-world reenactment of the anime production in Gi(a)rlish Number, only worse.

YIKES. This must have sucked so much to be fairly honest. I haven't caught up to it (yet) but... I've seen a lot and multiple complaints on the episode and it has gotten to the point of their own creators not wanting to even acknowledge they have worked on it.

I mean granted I'm sure they didn't mean it with malicious intent because as far as I've gotten they were trying to make things work... but because of bad agreements and cancelled contracts etc, it makes things impossible for them to work with it with little resource.



From what I've gotten, the episode that was criticized (episode 9) was so bad that its actually abnormal with any production mess. It's very apparent that they're struggling through production, with that in mind there's evidence because of this blog on sakugabooru:

https://blog.sakugabooru.com/2018/03/24/marchen-madchen-a-production-postmortem/

If anyone wants to read it you guys can give it a shot to get the idea what's going on since they go in detail behind the scenes within production.



As far as I've gotten this was supposed to be a commemorate thing for the author but before he even passed away they did had the idea of making the adaption a thing. I believe.

Note: I noticed someone linked the blog before me LAWL. Sorry. xD

The official website of the Märchen Mädchen TV anime announced on Tuesday that the broadcast of the series will be temporarily suspended. The tenth episode, which is scheduled to air on Thursday, March 29, will mark the "end" of the anime on program guides. Broadcast information regarding episodes 11 and 12 will be announced at a later date.

Märchen Mädchen adapts the fantasy light novel series of the same title, which is based on original plans drafted by late author Tomohiro Matsu (Papa no Iukoto wo Kikinasai!). StoryWorks, a writing company Matsu helped found, has been publishing the light novels with illustrations by Kantoku (Imouto sae Ireba Ii.) since last February. Shueisha plans to publish the fourth volume on April 25.

The anime adaptation produced by Hoods Entertainment began airing this past January, however, delayed its broadcast of episode nine for two weeks to improve the animation quality in early March. A rerun of the first two episodes filled the show's timeslot, and the ninth episode aired on March 22.

@Ryuuryota That's not how it works in cases like this. The show hasn't been canceled (yet); it's been "temporarily suspended" and "Broadcast information regarding episodes 11 and 12 will be announced at a later date." When the same thing happened with the last two episodes of Girls und Panzer and Long Riders (see my post above), they weren't split off into separate entries; only the airing dates had to be updated once the final episode's airdate was known. Until then, you can either leave the show as Watching, or set it On Hold/Dropped.

So far really nobody as far as that goes is going on the staff's case for it. Really this was all out of sheer bad luck for them unfortunately.



Granted I still like the series but when there's so much mess going on behind the scenes you can't help but feel a bit of sadness because of that. Everyone including the original creator (who passed away as stated) in here.

Not even Rewrite was that bad when it comes to production problems and that series at least attempted to maintain SOME consistency to an certain extent. This really didn't happened to the show in the end.
