| Don't care. I can wait I'm not enjoying season 2 like season 1..... And new Isekai in this season are more entertaining in my opinion |
| Oh yeah that Aniplex Covid..sure we believe them. |
 |
| This show was one of the few, who managed to survive heights of the pandemic back in 2020 without being delayed, yet is caving in now. The irony. 🤣 |
 |
| Aniplex moment? Aniplex Moment?? ANIPLEEX MOMEENT!!!! |
| Why I am not suprised, almost every Aniplex show is delayed. This happens when you outsource the anime to China, when corona-chan hit China and delays starts to happen. 2020 summer all over again with these delays. |
 |
| I am not surprised. Why they even take a work and state this? Do they really think that people believe in this "explanation"? It is ridiculous. By the way, the series itself is bad. Don't recommend to watch it. |
 |
| This isn't a surprise , it was just a matter of time of when the announcement will come . It's ironic the first season was also delayed to summer back then , now they'll probably re-broadcast the 2nd season again in Summer too and Part 2 will be in 2024 unfortunately . |
For your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And honour your parents. If one or both of them reach old age in your care, never say to them ˹even˺ ‘ugh,’ nor yell at them. Rather, address them respectfully. And be humble with them out of mercy, and pray, “My Lord! Be merciful to them as they raised me when I was young.” (Holy Quran 17:23-24). |
| yaaayy... one of the top 4 shows i liked the most this season with one of the biggest simp wothy characters.... :( |
  |
| Well, just another excuse to take a break. On the other hand, in Japan they really believe in all this and go crazy about it. When the world has learned the truth, they still firmly believe in this nonsense and take ineffective measures against it. I hope they will not end up like it was with ban on meat, that we'll have to wait ages until they abolish it. It's a shame because I actually like Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha. |

| Aniplex fucked up big time. |
 |
| Can someone explain the situation? Why is Aniplex being blamed? I know Corona isn't a good excuse anymore, but it's not like it's not a valid one. |
 |
Tonyic said: after post covid period, any competent company would already have production schedule that prepared for expected emergency like this. seems like aniplex completely ignore any possibility of emergency and back to precovid practice with very tight schedule that even some small dent in the progress is enough to ruin everything during production. this is like petrol station not preparing fire hydrant and then the fire broke out and they have nothing to stop it and everything burned to the ground. that's why only some company like aniplex hit really hard compare to other production company.Can someone explain the situation? Why is Aniplex being blamed? I know Corona isn't a good excuse anymore, but it's not like it's not a valid one. BankaiGoku said: you get your logic backwards. this happen BECAUSE aniplex completely ignoring the existence of pandemic and did not take measure on something that could've happen, and then it did happen hence the delay.Well, just another excuse to take a break.

| Another COVID excuse. It might be the Corona, but it might not. I feel like this is why Aniplex shouldn't rush productions like this! |

And what? It is THEIR OWN PROBLEMS if they do ALL the work in China. They PERFECTLY know the situation with COVID-19 in China. It all looks so miserable.For all those whining about Covid it’s still a huge problem in China where a lot of animation is outsourced. Like y’all understand the world is more than the US and Japan right? Sorry for these words. I simply tired of seeing all these so called "delays" from them. |

A-1 has no delay simply because they are the only one under aniplex direct ownership so they didn't outsource as much. as simple as that. this is conspiracy theory level of logic. |

Memore said: create conflict? :> ok. you won't retract your lies, you won't delete them, and you can't verify anything you've said. so, you run away from a perceived conflict instead of validating your positions/statements/opinions with facts. should we insert some clucking chicken noises right here? or was i entirely and utterly correct that you don't know what you're talking about and/or just lying for the fun of it? perhaps you had some other nefarious purpose in mind? ah well, i guess a reasonable discussion isn't possible then.

| Why they don't just simply plan themselves and do their work months earlier to avoid this situations? I mean, is not good for them and for the show, this is pretty fucking obvious. I feel like they're overwhelmed by tons of work and use any kind of excuse to the whole crew involved in the production to take a break at home while some should be working. This might be harsh but it's their fault and clearly lack of organization and planning, if they can't handle a thing that isn't that dangerous anymore like it was in 2020/2021, they shouldn't be working in this industry. |
| Are there any updates on how are the staff working on this project? |
