I am no more surprised. How can they even have the shame to state that COVID is the reason. It looks so awful. I am very disappointed. They shouldn't take this project if they can't make it in time.

Sigh, here we go again. Also, at this point it is hard to tell what delays are actually due to covid and which ones are due to other causes but covid is just a nice scapegoat.

Ok I'm playing devil's advocate a bit here... Couldn't be that the series run out of time slots for keep on air, just like 86 did?

Nope, if we go for just the timeslot - they at least can run episodes 9 and 10 before Mashle takes its place on the timeslot in April.

So yeah, it's the wombo-combo of Aniplex PC casually ruining the things and the running time.

It also makes little sense, why resume a series that has been delayed for a while and then delay it once more a few weeks later? Surely the problems they face right now did not pop up out of nowhere.

Well, it was naive for me to give them a little bit of benefit of doubt then.

These hick ups are really hurting the potential of this show, I'm trying to stick with it but these delays are really killing the momentum for me.

Sure, we are not mind-readers as to what the real reason for X show is. I knot that COVID-19 is still an issue in Japan but I sometimes think Japanese productions use that as an excuse to epi. of X show. I know what they say about the word "assume", though.

The fact that this show still doesn't have a confirmed amount of episodes really only proves how much Aniplex doesn't give a shit about taking more time to plan things out. Not to mention Misfit still isn't back yet.

Can't wait to see Mashle suffering from the exact same nonsense…

You're forgetting the fact that studios tend to often outsource animation or other parts of the process to China, which is very much getting affected still.

CORONEX strikes again, though that's a fat lie given people already pointed out that they took on way too many projects and have overloaded themselves.

It's Shine Post all over again. It's bad enough Kobi-san new episodes have been delayed until April. I do agree with one of the comments, that Aniplex shouldn't have taken on this project if they can't guarantee a non-stop season.

FOX used to do this shit with 24, back in the day, so they could run American Idol, pissing off viewers like myself. By the time S4 of 24 came around FOX started doing the non-stop seasons, until the writer's strike happened and delayed S7, therefore giving us 24: Redemption.
