Honestly curious, what is the point in delaying SAO or other animes when they are going to be released online. The only reason i would see is if they hadn't finished production but SAO was literally supposed to come out in 15 days so i assume it had production finished already unless they work on each episode 1 at a time. Also, delaying it a full 3 months why???? Just frustrating as i was already having difficulties waiting but now i'm just annoyed.

quite sure Corona pandemic is going to affect the anime industry given how complex it is to make one. Be patient and lets just hope for the best! :)

I don't think production is 100% completed by the time the show sets to air. They probably have episodes done, but still have to work on the remaining ones left

To anyone asking why your favorite anime is getting delayed even though it was supposed to be released this month, the production cycle has the animators working on the later episodes while it's still coming out. So just because SAOs first episode is out doesn't mean the 3rd or 4th episode is finished. We don't want our favorite animators to get sick because we're excited, just some patience and we'll all get through this (:

It's really easy to forget that a simple 12 episode series is still three months during which a large portion of the staff is still working. Many of the series that have been postponed are large ones such as Re:Zero, SAO, and Oregairu, as well as movies for well-known franchises. They're all known to have good to great production value, which probably means the production team will be touching things up right up to the deadline in order to make sure it's perfect.

Maybe this will give the series that've been held back a chance to shine in the summer, where it seems like the number of anime currently scheduled to release is smaller than this spring season? Less competition could draw in more fans!

Ouch. I was really looking forward to Heaven's Feel III. Hopefully this won't delay the Blu-Ray release (although I doubt it...).

I have to say, it's surprising that the anime industry would be troubled by COVID-19. In the end, it's just drawing and shading, it's definitely a job that can be done home.


Ahem.
I don't want to come across as mean, but if that's what you only think of the anime industry, I think it's best that during this quarantine time, you check out documentaries about creating/producing anime cause it's NOT just drawing and shading and can be done at home. Even manga publishing isn't that simple.
Think about it. Anime production needs voice recording as well. And there are so much more other than that. :)

Cheers bro, we will all get through this soon! :)

I'm ok with it as long as we get them in due time. Some of these sequels were overdue.

In the meantime, let's get back to watching classics. It's way more fulfilling than just keeping up with the trends.

Shit there was alot more than I expected, really glad that kaguya and fruits basket weren't hit cause I was kind of banking on them this season as being the only thing I was really going to watch. It seems like both series were already completed prior to release it seems so they really benefited from a good production schedule it seems. Makes me wonder if this may motivate some change in the industry away from alot of the crunch associated with not finishing shows before the first episode goes to air, especially since it seems like the shows that did complete their production before release are going to reep serious benefit from the other delays as it greatly lowers any real competition.

I think its safe to say all movies are likely delayed, Tv shows id like to think there wont be anymore if they already made it to air.

It's still possible for TV shows that are airing right now to get postponed, just look at IDOLiSH7 season 2, it will stop airing after episode 4 and season 1 will take its place.

From what I heard, looks like the only one that seems to be pretty safe to keep going til the end (thanks to their production schedule) are Bakarina (Otome Game blablabla), Yesterday two Utatte and Honzuki no Gekokujou season 2. There's most likely more tho but that's the ones I heard right now.

I think kaguya season 2 is pretty safe too, they said voice work wrapped up in january which is one of the last things they do so chances are the series already wrapped. The previews for it were showing stuff thats definetly not happening till the middle or 2nd half of the season too

Little worried about fruits basket though cause its 2 cour

Even though it kind of sucks that it has to happen in the season where i finally decided to start watching seasonally, i care more about the safety of the seiyuu's and staff involved, so i'd rather they get delayed than to risk them getting sick or worse! :(

Does someone know if the production is finished for Fruits Basket 2nd Season, Fugou Keiji: Balance:Unlimited, Arte, Bungou to Alchemist: Shinpan no Haguruma and Kitsutsuki Tanteidokoro??? Because these are the one's i was planning to follow seasonally.

I think the point of saying it should be an article is more to do with it slowly moving down the news list (since it's ordered by publishing, not by update date) meaning that it doesn't stay where people can see it easily, unlike with featured articles which are much more infrequent (allowing it to stay where people can easily find it).

That's it!!! I won't be watching anything seasonally anymore!!!!! ;_____;

Bungou to Alchemist was the anime i was most hyped for, at this rate, Arte will follow suit and maybe even Fruits Basket too, so i'll put them back into my PTW and choose a already finished anime to watch instead, don't know if i'll go back to seasonal watching when they resume as it's stressful enough to follow a regular schedule as is and then unpredictable things like these happen on top!!!! :(
