And probably there will be another delay, because one ep will be on first of January, and I don't think there will be any ep

Some real production issues happening behind the scenes, it's not pretty having 3 weeks worth of episodes end up with 1 episode and 2 special episodes. It's killing the momentum of the cour to some degree, just when I was finally getting into this season a bit. It'd probably change on rewatch but idk at least for now, definitely some troubling signs hearing the constant delays here and potential delays still to come in December.

It’s fine. I’d rather wait another week than have a badly animated episode. The staff has given so much love to this series, so I don’t mind the delays if it means a better episode. The animation in today’s episode 7 was better than episode 6 2 weeks ago, and it’s still going strong. I don’t see why anyone would get pessimistic if this is for the better. I mean it’s just an extra week of wait. Maybe it’s just me cause I’ve read the source material.

As long as the animators aren't getting overworked and the episodes look presentable, I'm fine with a delay.

Not as if shows like Mushoku Tensei and other series haven't been delayed a whole season, I would think that anyone stating that it ruins momentum are just exaggerating by a bit only though.

Damn that's disappointing. I hope these production issues won't affect future sequels or anything like that but I'm probably getting too ahead now. I'm glad they're delaying the episodes instead of releasing them in botched states.

The delay makes sense because the Morpho has yet to make it’s first onscreen appearance. It might have been tough to animate at that point.

This is my guess. I think the morpho is proving to be a problem. I wouldn't be surprised if that's why this episode got delayed as well, since there was nothing crazy animation wise. They're probably buying time for the morpho stuff.

I'm cool with it so long as we get a great product, but I wonder if they would have benefited by delaying it for another cour, like MT did. The stuffcoming up is like movie quality action scenes and I can't imagine it's easy doing that on a week to week basis

A bit annoying. I hope they won't continue releasing only every 2 weeks and between that some "special". Could have just put it on hold a bit completely ... airing something else for a few weeks then.

Yes, constant delay may be underwhelming, but it also means that the production committee (i.e. investors) cares about the anime.

Airing time slots on Japanese TV are purchased by season (3 months), so any delay means that additional time slot need to be bought to air the remaining episodes that can't be aired before the season ends. That's a major factor why sometimes production committee of certain anime would want to avoid the extra hassle and rather let the anime aired in botched states. 86 is really in good hands, not only anime studio-wise but also investor-wise.

Considering this is the second episode that gets postponed, I'm a bit concerned with how the production will be for the upcoming seasons if they're at all happening. Anyway, it doesn't sound good.

Hopefully there will be another season and hopefully lessons will be learned.

Regardless, I think this was the right decision for a crappy situation.

Its an unfortunate situation but if this means getting quality episodes instead of rushed episodes, I think this is the right call. They need all the time they need to make these high quality episodes, especially now with the large scale battles that will happen.

Also, this is just me but I'm beginning to suspect the issues is not with A-1 entirely but also with Studio Shirogumi as well (the studio that did the CGI). I am likely incorrect but I think its taking alot of effort even for the CGI team to animate the upcoming battles.

The morpho will be really hard to animate. No spoilers, but if its specs are anything to go by, it’s like really huge.

cant criticize anyone with lack info about whos at fault here, but im really worried we wont see the end of cour 2 airing. with so many delays mean the final episode will get pushed to next year. i mean theres already several case like that before where the final episode will air independently outside the usual seasonal schedule (like an OVA/ONA) or only watchable if you buy the DVD/BD
OR worse situation (which i doubt will happen) the episode get cut... and the definitive edition and complete animation will be in BD release

as of November 19th via... "KYODO NEWS. TOKYO – Japan has inoculated 75.7 percent of its population with two COVID-19 shots, according to government data released Thursday."

so i'd say, it's not a work-from-home problem for the Japanese folks... but do we know EVERYBODY who's working on the show? outsourcing is STILL a huge problem for anime. as we saw with 'Spider-sekai' when their CGA 'partner' dropped the ball Millepensee had to rush through, what was it? 3 or 4 WEEKS of in-house CGA to get the final eps out? and we all know how 'icky' that work looked... :/

i gotta agree with this guy, example 'Shield Hero S2'... they announced the delay WELL before the known broadcast start date this year and moved it to NEXT year... they were so far ahead in announcing it... that if you count every month from the announcement date of the delay till the NEW broadcast month... they KNEW they were NINE MONTHS BEHIND SCHEDULE... :o could you imagine telling the 'big Yen folks' running things... 'eh eh heh... uhhh guys? we're over half a year behind... we need more time!' that's not something you can knock on top of your head, stick your tongue out, and go 'TeeHee!' like a little girl and get away with... :>

yes there is a 3rd delay. ep 19 has been moved to DEC 4th and the DEC 11th episode 20 has been delayed ALSO. i just read the official Japanese website for the show and the DEC 11th episode has NOT been rescheduled as yet!

i'm personally expecting the DEC 11th episode to be moved to DEC 18th.

wow thats the worst airing schedule I have ever witnessed, not counting multiple month delays of final episodes.

How can you even run into production issues of this scale? Especially when some of the delays were planned?

At this point I would rather have them reschedule the rest of the season entirely instead of getting an episode maybe every other week.

'Marchen Madchen' was worse. it got delayed either 4 or 5 times for more than a week each episode and then it got canceled because the studio violated the terms of their contracts with the TV networks. the final 2 episodes were never released except on DVD/BR. from what i read online at the time the Japanese studio blamed a labor dispute causing a strike at the S. Vietnam studio they'd outsourced much of the show to. net-buddy of mine who's Vietnamese told me that labor dispute had been going on for months before the anime aired in Japan and that the entire SV studio went bankrupt and everybody lost their jobs because of the strike.

'Beatless' was even worse than '86' or 'Marchen Madchen'. there were... 4 RECAP episodes in the first 20 eps, and the final four episodes weren't put up on TV for 3 MONTHS after the 20th episode was broadcast.

there's other shows in the past that have had major production issues... we certainly can't forget 'Wonder Egg Priority'... :<

Well blame aniplex for it, they know how much work and scale this series needs and they pushed it anyway


i doubt it's ANIPLEX Japan's problem... if A-1 Pictures and their other partners on '86' need more time, they just need more time.

mmmkay? annnd this impacts the conversation how? for an example SONY Jp owns a majority of stock in Funimation, but doesn't make all their decisions for them. no corporation even ANIPLEX who are JUST producers, make all the choices FOR their subsidiaries. ANI's just the ones setting initial budgets and such. they don't make all the decisions, staffing, manpower, assignments, how much is outsourced to other studios, who gets hired or fired or re-assigned... so blaming it ALL on ANIPLEX is just a short-sighted knee-jerk response.

that's just like blaming AT&T for all of Crunchyroll's problems before they sold it to SONY.

the animator sitting at his work-station thinking, 'oh i wanna smoke break.' or 'gee i gotta pee.' or 'man i'm bored! when's lunch?' isn't worried that ANIPLEX is gonna stomp a mud-hole in his ass for piddling at work. he's worried about his IMMEDIATE boss doing it. the only folks at A-1 Pictures who probably give a crap about what ANIPLEX thinks are the directors, the department heads below or above the directors, and the A-1 Pictures' 'big bosses'.

crap just happens, accept it and move on.

wow thats the worst airing schedule I have ever witnessed, not counting multiple month delays of final episodes.

How can you even run into production issues of this scale? Especially when some of the delays were planned?

At this point I would rather have them reschedule the rest of the season entirely instead of getting an episode maybe every other week.


'Marchen Madchen' was worse. it got delayed either 4 or 5 times for more than a week each episode and then it got canceled because the studio violated the terms of their contracts with the TV networks. the final 2 episodes were never released except on DVD/BR. from what i read online at the time the Japanese studio blamed a labor dispute causing a strike at the S. Vietnam studio they'd outsourced much of the show to. net-buddy of mine who's Vietnamese told me that labor dispute had been going on for months before the anime aired in Japan and that the entire SV studio went bankrupt and everybody lost their jobs because of the strike.

'Beatless' was even worse than '86' or 'Marchen Madchen'. there were... 4 RECAP episodes in the first 20 eps, and the final four episodes weren't put up on TV for 3 MONTHS after the 20th episode was broadcast.

there's other shows in the past that have had major production issues... we certainly can't forget 'Wonder Egg Priority'... :<
ah MM rings a bell.
See, thats why I said not counting multiple month delays of final episodes because that happens all the time. Missing 4 eps in 20 is one thing, but missing 4 in 8 is even worse.
