I hope all goes well for the staff. On my end I'm glad I didn't start this one, will probably catch up with the manga instead.

Dang son, it's a good one too. I'll be a good girl and wait without much complaint. Read some manga . I've barely finished any titles so I better get to it.

I prefer delay > quality issues, the delay barely matters at the end... but poor quality = poor show, hope that the delay worth it tho.

Seems doubtful.

Yes the virus is still causing unprecedented disruption, especially in my business.

Yes there is also a lot of companies, who have had two years now to adapt, still blaming issues on it, especially notable is the disruption causing by supposed manpower shortages caused by ill employees. By now you would think they would have cover and replacement policies in place.

What is also notable, at least to me is that a lot of the current batches, especially last season, had really sketchy quality issues. The first episode would show high levels of quality and then it would take a nose dive both in animation and art but also in story and direction.

Honestly I think they are probably trying to push out too many new animes with too few people.

Regardless of reasons, it's unfortunate that the fans have to wait much longer for new episodes.

We all know this is not a "COVID" things, It's just bad production managment.

So people in Japan don't know anything about vaccines? And I'm watching a ridonkeylous amount of shows this season , so Idk what the heck are you talking about that I'm a snob.

Watching a bunch of shows to give them low ratings and complain that they're bad? Yes, you are a snob. And people all over the world know about vaccines. But they don't give 100% protection and you can still get sick for a bunch of other reasons.

Wow! Did you saw me gave me a low rating to a bunch of seasonal shows? Maybe they are just bad?

I mean, there is so much they can blame on Covid, especially in 2022. If a single-cour anime has to be postponed by a week, then three weeks later postponed again for and indefinite amount of time, at minimum 5 weeks, then that doesn't have shit to do with Covid, that's either the studio fucking something up to a ridiculous extent when calculating the required time and manpower for the project, or the production committee forcing a schedule onto them which essentially created first industrial revolution quality conditions in the studio.

sound like they have really poor planning that rely on overworking absolute minimum staff they can work with that has no back up which collapse immediately when covid struck.

Probably the main reason why I want the studios to be done with a show before they get a time schedule on TV.

This would then seem like at least a month-long hiatus then 😔

The studio is in big trouble with a bunch of people getting sick with COVID. This is a sad reality. And for whatever reason they didn't get sick, calling the disease an "excuse" is pretty rude.

Stop inhaling that copium, you are the ppl that fall for obvious pr stunts like this. You are doing a disservice to ppl clouding them with your ignorance

Call me when you learn to give any arguments other than bare accusations.

Well that's quite sad, I can't think of a single other show that had production problems this big, not even WEP suffered like this.

You mean the director going to an hospital TWICE during production is not worse than this?

Idk about this shows situation. But covid is actually increasing in my place recently. It's not really life threatening at all as before but definitely enough number vice to place rtpcr reports requirement restriction on lot of things lately
