Not every anime is done by the time it starts airing. On an average 13 episode anime, the studios will usually have about 3 or 4 or maybe 5 episodes done. The rest is still being drawn or animated. Some anime do tend to get finished by the time it starts airing, like you said, Relife.

Btw, ReLife wasn't leaked. They've always planned on releasing the whole series on that website (can't remember the name); probably because of some contract agreement. Same thing happened with RikeKoi. They released the whole series in 1 day on Amazon but aired weekly on Japanese TV.


Ahh... OK, thanks for the explanation.

Can anyone explain how the f*ck this damn virus led to delay of the ALREADY DRAWED
anime? I'm OK with RE ZERO, but this title got delayed just 2 days before the release. I remember leak of the ReLife in 2016, whole season was leaken in just 2 days, so it means that this title was completely ready even before date of leak.Therefore something tells me that the 3rd season of OreGairu was completely ready for broadcast to... But maybe I'm wrong. That's why I'm asking what's wrong now.

And it also literally happened this season with Jashin-chan Dropkick season 2, Amazon in Japan and Crunchyroll dropped the entire season during the day of its release in Japan.

This wouldn't have happened if the anime industry went full digital allowing everybody to work from home.. Maybe they'll do it now?

you can't record seiyuu's voice acting from their home , you need specific environment and instruments for that, so you can't make anime fully " from home" anyway.

This genuinely made me really sad just after rewatching the first two seasons ready for this third to start.
Well at least I can hope the team are doing well and pulling through the crisis

Apr 8, 2020 1:22 AM by PerryLK

I hope the third season will come soon,
I'm already excited when there announcement for the new season of this.
Well still better delayed then canceled cause the virus

Still excited, hope the third season will entertain us

Damn that sucks, I wonder how many more shows will get delayed over the coming months. If all this craziness is still as widespread come summer then I expect some summer shows to be pushed back as well.

Considering the events of the Coronavirus, it's understandable.

It does suck because me and many others were anticipating for the third season but I think most people can agree that during this pandemic, everybody should be safe and be taking care of themselves more.

Wasn't this HiDive's only exclusive this season? That must hurt for them.

Least that's less worry about more potential COVID-19 victims though. I'd feel pretty shitty having the staff be at risk just because I wanna see more Hachiman

Oh no. So sad to hear that. But, nevertheless I will be waiting for it. It's been five years. Will be worth it.

Oh my God corona what have you done I was so looking forward to this. :( :( :( 5 years of waiting may end up being six. Hope y'all in Japan are safe.
