Spring anime season has been delayed. At this point it feels like 2020 has been
canceled. so what's up guys Foxen here oh I'm gonna do a quick talk and talk about
every anime that's been delayed and also certain manga but at the same time also
answering some of your burning questions why is your favorite anime delayed why
can't they just do this work remote and how about manga so if you do find us
helpful with smash that like and subscribe feel free to ask questions
below but I do ask you to watch the full video first let's go ahead and get
started the first delay of the Demon Slayer
movie it looks like even the best anime of 2019 can't escape this and I know
some of you are gonna be wondering wait isn't the release in October officially
that was the new release date announced but this movie should have really been
out by summer season. Next anime the violent ever garden movie originally
this should have been released this week poor violet and pork hill - animation
studio looks like they also can't catch a break a new release date is pending
for violet number 3 the Fate heavens feel movie so unfortunately this thing
got delayed over to April and then got further delayed again I was really so
hyped up to see this in theaters - so given how the demon Serra movie got
moved to like October I would expect this to be sometime in the fall to
number 4s SAO Alicization season 3 war of the underworld part 2 final season
that is a mouthful they just can't give us the final piece
of this officially sao has been moved to the summer season although they have
pointed out it will be based on whether the whole situation improves by then you
know how much I love Sao so I've been pretty devastated with this move on top
of that they also cancelled the SAO concert here in Japan along with the
pre-screening event for this quote-unquote final season number 5
ReZero season 2 so this really just must be soo bad of suffering even more reason
or season 2 actually got delayed early on right now stupider at Millia - room
have a good spot in the summer season number 6 no guns live season 2 to be
honest I haven't even started this anime I hear no one talking about it
number 7 OregaIru season 3 so this was actually a huge animated that I
missed I haven't seen the first two seasons that was coming out in the
spring anime season they've also moved this one to the summer season number 8
the Evangelion movie so I think this movies just cursed this one keeps on
getting laid after delay after delay the
original release day was just before the summer season if I had a guess I
wouldn't expect this until the end of the year maybe Christmas. Number 9 the
misfit of the demon king Academy so this was actually a spring anime they got
moved early on and pretty much no one noticed it's set to come out in the
summer season the given movie like all the other movies we talked about this
one got delayed too as for ongoing anime you got a part right man
black clover better be post episode 132 food Wars the final season past Episode
three one piece Digimon 2020 and Pokemon by the way just recently announced to
boruto but wait let me actually give you some good news
here's anime not delayed and maybe some that won't be delayed the Bookworm
Isekai has confirmed all episodes have been completed recently so the voice
actors have been able to record their lines this should be no problem B NA
yeah it sucks this trigger anime is unfortunately in Netflix jail but at the
very least six episodes have been completed before the official day view
which means there's a great chance for the whole animation to be done the voice
acting stuff is a different question ghost in the shell the new amazingly
looking CG anime this thing is still scheduled to drop on Netflix and yeah it
does look questionable to be honest if I wasn't doing this full-time I might not
even check this out but who knows well watch it be anime of the year so let's
get into it why are all of these anime delayed and I know some of you are
screaming Jerry the c-word but I'm really talking about the more
fine-grained Ito's let me just start out by mentioning that I have been to an
anime studio here in Japan and I do know some work animators I've also been
living in Japan over years so I fully know how Japan has handled this
situation here in person or perhaps I should say not handled it Japan actually
had schools shut down back in March but didn't go into an actual lockdown until
April 7th that's supposed to be a month but could be extended before this
everything was still open I was able to go to the gym I even saw the new Harley
Quinn movie in theaters like a week before the long town also keep in mind
this isn't even a mandatory lockdown it's more like Japan highly requesting
businesses to close it's then up to each individual business to decide whether to
shut down or not for example Ryan a second I could go out and dine inside
of a McDonald's Burger King although not that I'd want to the trains in Japan are
still running at least in Tokyo although I do hear there's less trains per hour
now so hopefully now you're getting a picture of the situation here in Japan
now relating this back to students and anime production the most talked about
news or what feels like has gotten the most attention is really regarding the
voice actors the voice actor is unable to record their lines being the reason
for anime being delayed the way the recording process here works in Japan
involves voice actors going to attendance to do their you then have
multiple people present this includes the directors other voice actors and so
on so already had the voice actors being put at high risk coming into the small
recording room oh this is actually even worse for people like the director and
others who will constantly have to be present all day there keep in mind a
good amount of veteran voice actors directors producers and so on are pretty
high up there in age you know the people most health risk
Goku's voice actors for example is 80 pause and sure I know some of you are
wondering why can't they change the recording process and this or that way
disinfected or similar stuff keep in mind this is really one piece of the
anime production puzzle even if you make the recording studio as safe as possible
you still have all these people put a constant risk if you have them traveling
by train or bus just to get over to that studio and unfortunately home recording
is definitely not an option this isn't even getting into the actual agencies
that a lot of voice actors work for some of which may be shut down right now and
even if they're still open those places would be the ones responsible for any
voice actor taking any risk so treat to a different issue the actual anime
studio is making your favorite anime like attack on Titan, SAO, demon Slayer
I've actually seen this talked about less and even when it's brought up only
the animators are mentioned the actual production of any one anime includes so
many moving parts but really quickly here's a quick overview of how animes
made the actual studios work on the anime long the anime is airing
unfortunately it's not uncommon for anime studio to literally try to finish
a given episode up to the day before or even the day when the anime episode is
said to go live let me just say I'm not a gamer since I really gave up gaming
years back really just to do this but to me it sounds very similar to how some
video game studios this crunch time that I keep on hearing
about and I know some of you I'll point out you may have heard about a given
studio finishing an anime before the actual anime season that happens every
now and then but that's extremely rare which is a shame at one point in time
actually recalled the Pokemon anime being months ahead of production
schedule but even that at this point has been delayed for this spring anime
season you actually have trigger with at least six episodes done and then you
even have the best example kilt animation which may be one of the best
anime studios to get the episodes mostly done or done before the actual
airing but at the end of the day again this is a huge exception for anime
creation but anyway specifically getting back to the animators why can't they
make the anime remotely so first I'll record a mention about Japan highly
requesting businesses to shut down and just Tokyo there's literally hundreds of
animes studios whether a good chunk of these studios have shut down or not
won't be based on a given Studios decision in quick disclaimer this could
vary so much based on a given anime or studio but the reality is unfortunately
a lot of non-essential business I still have people going to work daily yes so
sue means getting their butts in trains for the trip over to the office often or
really long one given how many business centers are still open that would
include a good chunk of Studios this feels really bad when I visited a-1
pictures a few years back I was genuinely surprised at how small and
cramped these working areas are for animators given how the stuff going
around may not show symptoms for weeks if you have just one person that catches
it in the studio they're all getting it thankfully I've heard from buddies from
those few studios shutting down temporarily but just to get an idea of
how slow the business it's hard to change get this one of the animators I
know is now working from home the process between the shutdown happening
to the company deciding to go remote took around roughly a week more than a
week later her equipment was shipped over to her place
fun fact keep in mind how small or Tokyo apartments are at the end of the day
when he got delays in one part of the anime making process oh well this will
have a cascading effect this isn't even touching on bigger Studios contracting
smaller students for either full episodes or part of an episode some of
these anime students even outsource anime work over to China or South Korea
for example for spring anime season the
the coloring of the reserved key frames out sourced at least that was a reason
given for the initial delay most likely it would have been delayed anyway so
taking a step back you definitely don't want to put anyone at risk I really
really don't want to imagine it really forbid something happening to your
favorite voice actor singer director or are they're super our famous
anime related person but from a business perspective if something like that were
to happen that studio would forever be known as studio X that killed said
person or at the very minimum very highly responsible I would honestly
you'd be surprised if says studio would even get more anime work after that
depending on how bad it get especially with social media nowadays something
like that could easily move up the corporate chain up to the company
producing that anime you could imagine their public image taking a severe
beating so hopefully this was helpful it wasn't at all meant to be this
exhaustive intensive lunch but just to give you a broad picture a slice so the
anime production effected if you do have questions be sure to ask balloon but do
finish the video first and I'll try to get back to you now switching to the
manga portion this is not gonna be a full rundown on manga fainted Oh link to
that below for a manga that had been delayed but I do specifically have to
mention the attack on Titan manga being delayed I've been getting asked a lot
about this why can't the attack on Titan authorized ami just work from home and
perhaps equally as popular does this mean two chapters in June so first off
the June question at least at the time of the delay they have confirmed that
there's only gonna be one chapter in June in other words everything is just
getting shifted a month then for the remote question Issei Yama already very
likely works on attack on Titan in his home studio or this other private work
area dedicated to his attack on Titan work this really should be the set up of
most major anime sensei in the case of he's a Yama he does have his editor and
any assistant also helping him naturally you see I was not gonna lock up these
poor people in his kinky Titan dungeon which means from everyone involved there
still is a wrestler from constant contact
ensure some of this stuff could get changed around me say my cat tells
people to work remotely for a time and I would imagine that at least some of the
attack on Titan manga creation process is already at least partially removed
although as with any change any change to the work process causes to slow down
at least for a time so that said the real issue is that Isayama does not have
a say as to whether attack on titan was delayed or not
attack on titan a sexual released in a monthly magazine called Besant's is
shown in magazine gear you got several other manga alongside attack on titan
being released the one that ultimately pulled the trigger to delay came from
the high rungs in this case Kodansha suspending the release for a month
keep in mind this being delayed for a month is the current situation as of
this video although I wouldn't be surprised if there's further delays so
this is why attack on titan really got delayed for all you know Isayama's workflow
may not have even been impacted that much he might even be a couple of
chapters ahead but it doesn't matter it's not his call then for those of you
asking why attack on titan just can't get it released digitally again that
would be up to Khan Dasha to make that call let's actually take another step
back even if all the manga from the monthly magazine had no issues
whatsoever you still have another major problem which is actually getting that
huge magazine into readers hands sure the digital version is getting more and
more popular but you still have a majority of people here in Japan going
to bookstores dedicated anime shops 7-eleven or the convenience stores to
get their physical copy someone which often include bonus goodies too if they
did release the magazine all this stuff still requires some physical contact
potentially putting their young readers at risk you definitely don't want to be
that company then had their readers die just because he could have wait a month
and even before getting to this point you would have all of the actual print
shops that make the magazines plus the delivery people involved before you even
get to the shops by the way honorable mention to other
anime stuff delayed animejapan here in Japan call me cat though or comic aunt I
was really looking forward to that Anime Expo over in California
o so shout out to San Diego Comic Con as for how these delays will actually
affect the anime industry going forward keep in mind this won't have a cascading
effect you originally had this animator slash episode director commenting about
these delays I'll link to the full article down below but the highlight
from this was basically that anything delayed over to the summer may not
actually happen that's how bad these delays are
from the actual summertime or further here's a short list of anime that I
could see getting delayed or I want to be surprised if something happened one
SAO season 3 war the underworld part to this final chunk of SAO Alicization
should have some of that more higher quality animation in other words
animation that would take much much longer to do compared to just a scene of
a character talking mechs anime Fruits Basket season 2 I'm almost done with
season 1 so this might has anime not being animation heavy season 2 is
supposed to be like 20 plus episodes there is like no way they got that
finished by now mechs anime fire for season two another one that I'm still
behind on season 1 but I do believe season 2 supposed to be 20 plus episodes
to the Siamese sancai season 2 this see sekai anime is supposed to be almost 40
episodes three cores and it hurts to say but attack on titan season 4 and I know
a good chunk of you're asking hell is a fall anime season possibly getting
delayed and you know I definitely don't want attack of that in season 4 delayed
but like the animator / director mentioned delays happening right now are
gonna have this cascading effect for manga readers you know that attack on
Titan season 4 should be one of the more heavily animated anime for fall season
especially depending on the number of episodes I mean just think back to that
Lee by chasing the animator behind that said that it took a month to produce let
me just wrap up things on this and perhaps it'll make me miss her own
popular but honestly if needand hood back attack I thought in season 4 push
back SAO rezero demon slayer and anything else you know how much I love
these anime and a ton of others that have been delayed but I wouldn't much
much rather these anime get pushed back instead of the opposite potentially
happening some beloved voice actor director singer or other person involved
making our favorite anime to be taken out too early but anyway hopefully you
found this helpful hit that like if you then and if you do
have a question post it down below I'll try to get back to you if you are in
lockdown definitely check out my recent Ackerman attack on Titan video and also
find out which funny anime you could be watching right now
and I'll see you guys later!
