The official website for A-1 Pictures' upcoming Winter 2017 anime adaptation of Granblue Fantasy has announced that the premiere of the TV anime will be delayed. The series will instead begin its broadcast in Spring 2017. The announcement did not cite any reasons to why the series has been delayed, but mentioned that a special episode of the series will premiere in place of the TV anime.

Granblue Fantasy The Animation adapts the smartphone game Granblue Fantasy, which is developed by Cygames and published by Mobage. The game was released in Japan for the iOS and Android platforms in March 2014, with an international release of the game in March of this year. The series received a light novel adaptation in 2014, which currently has four volumes.

I think putting it in Spring gives more time for production and not having a horrible schedule in a sense. Hopefully it does turn out to be good somehow honestly. Looking forward to it.

Gran as the mc is a mistake, noone wants him, just have it all girls.

This, I don't care for him one bit. If Flower Knight Girl gets an anime, I don't want an MC there either unless it's going to be a hentai OVA. These studios need to realize that a lot of these series are being played and supported up the ass because of the girls and vice versa for fujo game adaptations.

In one side, I was looking forward it, on the other side, I have a lot of other animes to watch this Winter, so I don't mind the delay that much.

Awh, well. I guess I'm alright with this considering there's a few more anime I'd like to watch and take my time with.

Still hoping Danua will be included for this adaptation tho.

January 21, 2017 is just for the special episode. It's one of the arcs from the game that will eventually aired in Spring 2017 as well (or something like that, which is what I got when reading the news on the official site but not sure the detail).

Also new PV added.
