Here is a list of all Anime Delays Due To Tokyo Olympics. Hiatuses is not a new concept in the world of anime. Many times, shows have to face delays due to the streaming of important events. Pandemic was a pretty big influencer in the delay of several shows and their new seasons. Nonetheless, this particular list of delays has come as a relief to many fans. Recently, the NHK network came out with a cumulative list that states the delay schedule of numerous shows.
Besides NHK shows, other anime that regularly air on prime Japanese networks are also facing delays. The reason behind this rescheduling is the Tokyo Olympics. The opening ceremony of the games has already begun airing. This causes many shows to make space for other games to air simultaneously. So, if you are struggling to keep up with the schedules, here is a sorted list of new releases for you!
WASIMO
For a start, it is to be made clear that the schedule from NHK does not provide the new release dates of the anime. It only confirms the dates on which the anime will not air. The episodes airing on July 26 and August 2 of this children’s anime are delayed to an unspecified date.
Ojarumaru
The children’s cartoon of Japan that is on about some three-thousandth episode will face a delay in the coming weeks. The episodes that are to air on July 28, July 29, July 30, August 4-6, September 1, and September 3 will all find a rescheduling post the games.
Nintama Rantaro
Much like Ojarumaru, this children’s comedy anime is also currently in the twenty-fifth season. According to Wikipedia, 2,245 episodes have already aired. According to NHK, the following episodes will not land on July 26 to July 30, August 2 to August 6, September 1, and September 3. The new dates will arrive soon enough.
Fushigi Dagashiya Zenitendō
The re-airing version of Fushigi Dagashiya Zenitendō will also face delay on the NHK Network. Of the total 32 episodes, the ones on July 27, August 3, and August 31 will not arrive. Let’s wait for the new dates to be out.
Uchū Nanchara Kotetsu-kun
So far, fourteen episodes of Uchū Nanchara Kotetsu-kun have already come out. Episode 5 was slated to arrive on July 28. But now, all the episodes on July 28, August 4, August 25, and September 1 will not be landing on the network.
Major 2nd
Again, the re-airing of the 154-episode anime will face disruptions in the schedule. The episodes on July 28, August 4, August 25, and September 1 may find new dates after the games. We will let you know the new schedule.
Butt Detective
The 63rd episode of Butt Detective is set to arrive on July 24, 2021. But now, all the episodes following the 63rd will face a delay. Episodes of July 31, August 7, August 28, and September 4 are finding new dates.
Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun
Episode 15 of the popular isekai was supposed to arrive this weekend. It will surely land on July 25, 2021. But the one that is slated for August 28 will not arrive on the due date. Because of uncalled hiatuses, it is hard to predict the edition that will land on this date.
Love Live! Superstar!!
This anime has only begun airing recently. Episode 3 was all set to arrive this weekend. But now, the new schedule by NHK suggests that the July 25, August 1, and August 29 episodes will face a delay due to the Tokyo Olympics.
Shaman King
The anime that just began gaining traction on Netflix is Shaman King. The 18th and 19th episodes of Shaman King that are to air on July 29 to August 12 will now stream on Netflix from August 5 to August 19.
One Piece Chapter 1020
The last name in this delay is that of the new One Piece Chapter. Chapter 1020 will not arrive on Viz media due to the Tokyo Olympics. The release has been shifted from July 25 to August 1, 2021.
