Shangri-La Frontier is taking Zom 100's place this Fall in Japanese TV starting October 1 and its a 2-cour so I wouldn't be surprised if episodes 10 to 12 take months to air...

Episodes 10-12 may be delayed due to uncertain production issues. The recap episode is probably due to the same reason since there's absolutely no need for a recap ep of a 12 episode long season.

This has got to be the most hypocritical anime series I've ever witnessed. Great job making fun of other companies and then ruining your own staff's physical and mental state.

Jjk break was planned before the season started airing to give more time to the staff to put all their effort into the Shibuya Incident arc, since it's the most demanding and important arc of the series.

Meanwhile Zom 100's delays were not planned. The schedule has been a mess due to production issues.

They aren’t suffering from delays? They are suffering cuz it’s a small studio trying to be a little over ambitious on the first project. The delays are helping them if anything. And plus atleast the animation isn’t melting and is maintaining a high quality cuz of it

the delays aren't "helping" them, they are most certainly working longer and harder on a project they clearly weren't properly prepared for. delays are never a good thing, it always means scheduling and production went wrong somewhere. the quality will likely suffer as a result, because as many corners as possible will have to be cut to meet an already strained deadline. these kinds of delays can easily cause a domino effect that leads to a deterioration of production quality.

The delays mean they have to work overtime to replace or improve whatever things have gone wrong with the production, resulting in extra time and effort put into the project. And yeah, animation is looking good each episode cuz the staff keeps pulling all nighters to improve the quality further and make it acceptable for the standards of the viewers and higher ups of the company lol.

The constant delays caused them to use up all the TV slots they had, and there is already a brand new series - Shangri-La Frontier - taking up the same programming schedule, and for 2 consecutive cours no less, so I don't expect these final three episodes to air this year, honestly.

It has nothing to do with trying to improve the quality. They just aren’t getting the time-slots to air (mostly cause of the world athletics championships)

Am I the only one actually ok with the delay? I’m not happy about it, but the quality we getting is worth it to me. Its not like a serious plot of a show so I’m not in desperate need to know what happens. Its super fun and the animation is incredible. So I’m not complaining. But I’ve also read it already lol

I mean as long as the overall quality is consistent, than I'm fine with it.

Delays are annoying but can't do anything else about it besides to wait.

That’s what I also think(everyone saying production is breaking down) but I also want to point out that an extra week allows them to give it a bit of extra polish

I agree to a point.
I’d rather they just stop airing it, finish it, then air it. Stopping and starting is what gets me.

I’ll probably just stop watching it till it’s finished now, but I had the same idea for isekai ojisan and I still haven’t got around to finishing that. so the only thing delays do in my opinion is hurt the show, which is a shame because I was enjoying it

The way I see it, I’d rather future watchers(and myself on the rewatch) be able to enjoy it at max quality rather then have them try to push through the delays and suffer animation wise like jigokuraku

first things first, they don't work on a single episode/week, anime studios produce multiple episodes at the same time, and completing an episode two weeks before the airdate is actually considered the fruit of a decent enough schedule in the anime industry, it'd be asking too much to have all the episodes ready in advance, well... some shows manage to do that but it's pretty rare and most of the time they're shows with a terrible production value with a staff which doesn't give a damn about the final product's quality at all (ex. the Glasses romcom of this season, Dark Gathering)

The main cause for this is quite literally production issues. An overly ambitious and demadning first episode that sets up unreasonable expectations for the audience and specially for what the staff can do given circumstances, Bugfilms being a very small and new studio yet already taking their first major work, Hiroaki Kojima's way of producing shows with shoving all resources into very specific episodes instead of aiming to seep stability, the need to get help from Shaft to begin with - although they seemingly aren't really helping THAT much -, and some ongoing rumours that Bugfilms already has more projects underway, specially Witch Hat Atelier of all things...

"Unfortunate scheduling circumstances" don't happen on a whim. The constant stumps and delays in production ended up with them running out of the slots they had, and with other completely different series already taking the other slots after, they have literally nowhere to air the last three episodes for now. It's the same situation as Nier - at the end of the day, it's just bad management.

The final product looking poor does not automatically mean that it's staff "didn't give a damn" about it as a whole. In Dark Gathering's case specifically, not only did the director have several shows at the same time (two seasons of Tonikawa, and Magical Destroyers which was it's own trainwreck in production), but it's production team is also doing Mix S2, so I highly doubt it had a very generous production time, specially for being a two-cour series as well.

Don't get the wrong idea - they have probably been working on this show for at least a year. But deadlines are deadlines and they still couldn't meet them. Whatever is left to do is unknown but when it's this down to the wire it will reflect in the final product somewhere.
