Kinda funny how this is considered "Top News" by the algorithm, and yet there haven't been any actual comments in the discussion 'til now.

Twenty bucks says Hopeman's a real jerk.

I'd be really surprised if Witch Hat Atelier gets delayed next year. There's no way Ayumu Watanabe will be directing both Akane Banashi and Ganglion if Witch Hat Atelier faces production issues. Also, I wouldn't trust any leaks on X (formerly Twitter) about whether Witch Hat Atelier will air this year. They might be planning to drop the trailer this September.

For a show that is/was supposed to air anywhere in 1 ~ 3 months time, there has been no further news on the staff, cast, characters or music. Additionally, nothing in the way of promotions from the Voice actors and animators, footage or merchandise of any kind.

The first and only news article on the website is from early July likewise with the twitter/x account, it's been inactive since July too.

It could still air this year but I'm very doubtful.

This is not how that works. Director arrangements are made years ahead of time. He is not obligated to put the other projects he agreed to direct at other studios on hold due to Witch Hat's apparent production issues. That is the studio's job to deal with. This isn't to say he won't have any involvement in Witch Hat anymore, but it's likely not his main priority anymore.

Fall shows start airing less than a month from now; It's not airing this year. Not unless you want a repeat of what happened with Zom 100. My guess is no one involved wants that.
