NEWS: Re:ZERO TV Anime's 2nd Season Delayed to July

I'm guessing we'll see more delays. Anime already needs a substantial lead time just to get episodes done on a weekly basis and disruptions to a schedule tend to pile onto each other as is.

Overall, I'd rather see a series delay to a different season than stop and start repeatedly or deliver a lackluster season because it was forced to make do. Hopefully, production committees, TV stations, etc. recognize that they have a situation on their hands that will require accommodations for delays.

corona virus discussion aside ,this makes me wish even more that they add that scene to the season ending, it will be even better having a 3 months cliffhanger after learning that happens, instead of ending n that cliffhanger and continuing the plot the next week.

Surprised how readily some are to believe various things happening are because of Coronavirus. Everyone already knows how insane anime production schedules are to begin with and while even a little delay that cautious behavior to avoid Coronavirus might inject into the activity would cause, months of delay is a stretch. I believe more likely is that the virus scare has allowed teams to blame delays they would like to have made anyway on the virus with the likelihood that others would accept that without fuss at the moment....Really just hope sometime soon people in that industry say "enough is enough" and agree to accepting more realistic schedules going forward...

That is a bummer. As a consolation Spring so far is still loaded with more Food Wars, Oregairu and Fruits Basket.
