Two multi week delays in as many months blamed on covid sounds like they're teeing up a force majeure exit, if their contracts are written to allow that.

It's an adaptation of a pretty well known game by a major studio I doubt it gets cancelled since it'd be a pretty big black mark. They'll probably just wait till they have most of the rest in the can and than air it

I wonder if we'll ever find out what really went wrong, there's no way it was just Covid in 2023.

A lot of outsourcing to Chinese studios, which were dealing with a huge surge in covid due to being on strict lock down for 3 years. But also just too many projects at A-1 Pictures and too much of a reliance on outsourcing with a too tight schedule.

I can only hope to be wrong.

My assumption for the delay being this long was that covid did a number on a member of the voice cast. I'm having a hard time figuring out another role that could affect the production this much (but I'm hardly knowledgeable and open to being corrected on this). My second guess is that this is Yoko Taro messing with us somehow.

If it was a voice actor it'd be like a week or 2 delay at max and we probably would of heard about it. This was probably the overseas in-between staff and cause Aniplex had a crazy amount of shows they couldn't pivot on any of them at all

pretty much every aniplex-produced show from winter season got delayed by some amount, this won't even be the last one to finish airing 12 episodes. it's not one person, it's a systemic thing, pushing a bunch of shows into production without the resources to support them all.

This is why I'm always a fan of finishing anime way in advance of the release, even if it means you can't change much due to viewer feedback. Just a much healthier production cycle all around for the staff.

I would imagine they probably wanted to air the last episodes of the cour uninterrupted and they just couldn't secure a timeslot for it and this was the best they could settle for. Possibly the episodes have already been done for a while even, or at least some of them.

Julias posted:Yeah it's this. My understanding is a lot of their work was being outsourced to China, and when China got hit with a new covid wave, it put too much strain on the Productions of various concurrent projects. Yeah, I don't understand how companies can just essentially play chicken with the finishing of an episode and it's air date. The anime industry is so hosed, it makes me sad

I was really worried with such a lengthy hiatus that they might just try to wrap things up here. I'm glad that's not the case because I really can't wait to see the rest of the story Last 4 eps were really good! Some interesting changes. Hopefully more puppets!!

They already totally wrote out Emil's introduction at the mall and adapted ending Y which wouldn't make sense to do if they were intending on adapting his quest, seems pretty clear they've just decided he was superfluous and cut him for time, there might be more backstory nods like in the village but I doubt he'll have any actual major role in the story.

Would there still be time to do it in the second season though or are we past the point where it’d make sense?

He could show up anywhere, this is already deviating from what we saw in the game.

In any case, looking forward to seeing what the next part brings (and hopefully S2 will have fewer production delays) It seems like they’re sort of tackling the multiple route aspect of the game as well since there was a brief credits sequence in the middle of the finale complete with a rendition of Weight Of The World (the English version interestingly enough) Larryb fucked around with this message at 01:46 on Jul 26, 2023 |

Yeah there's technically nothing actually stopping him from just showing up at any point in cour 2 and asking our protagonists to go find him some flowers. Just seems more likely to me that they decided Emil's quest was too superfluous to be worth dedicating significant screentime to and to give him some other role instead, maybe a major one or maybe just removing him and throwing in some lore nods to compensate. I would imagine we'll get something more about him, whether we actually meet him or just find another head somewhere or something, but beyond that who knows.

I mean, his head showed up in the tree and started flashing memories of Kaine and Nier. The show seems to be implying that his presence is facilitating the machines breaking from the network somehow Just sad that we might not hear Emil's Shop Song this time around

I mean. Theoretically, there's nothing stopping another Emil from showing up since there's nothing confirming the one we deal with in the game is the last non-insane copy floating around. It could be a whole thing where he does randomly show up with his shop in cour 2, begging the question of the nature of his existence.

Yeah, and I also sincerely doubt that the character whose mask the director wears in any sort of public relations-facing event would fail to make a substantial appearance in the anime based on said director's work. I will admit that having Eve die instead of Adam piqued my interest in seeing just how far the deviation goes.

Superfluous? Superfluous?!?!??! Mah boi Emil is never superfluous, he's there to make sure every day's a sale, and thus, a WIN!
