Wow that's quite a wait, but a least they're finishing it. Still, a couple of episodes are gonna need to be completely re-animated, considering how bad they looked. Shocked

I feel so sorry for the people who are working on this and this series itself.

For goodness sake... The first isekai anime with female protagonist that I watched that isn't your usual harem romcom nonsense that starred some overpowered dude and it suffered such a devastating fate... With this sorts of tragedy, I doubt they're gonna release anything similar in the future. I don't actually felt mad for what happened, all I could say is that I pity the studio and everyone that's involved. This is a disaster that even an anime like Shirobako itself wouldn't disccuss about.

It is sad that this has fallen down like this. It is a cute and different take on the Isekai genre but I wish it had brought a lot more to the table.

The director quit the show after episode 8 because he couldn't deal with what the studio boss was forcing on the staff, which is why the episode after the hiatus was the worst. Most studios' management would have asked to delay episodes rather than embarrassing the team by delivering such garbage either (supposedly the 2 weeks came from the other side refusing to keep airing the crap they were being given)

no man, isekai with female MC's will still get adaptations, but not from this studio.

I know it's only a fools hope, but maybe when they do get to air episodes 11 and 12 they actually show a complete run of the fixed series, possibly giving it a lift.

As I said though, fools hope. There was so much promise, but so many errors by the studio

Awful scandals like this are only amplifying my belief that the anime industry will have to burn to the ground before any meaningful change happens, if it even comes to that. I'm not even sure you can change the culture in Japan leading to this, so that might have to burn as well.

This is a somewhat unrelated point, but I keep seeing the influx of new studios being created as doing absolutely nothing to solve the problem of the existing ones being booked. You're asking even more out of the same pool of overworked animators, and at some point, when absolutely nobody is available to work on them, (although this doesn't consider outsourcing to other countries), something's going to have to give. Basically, it's accelerationism.
