Fans of the anime series “Bofuri: I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, so I’ll Max Out My Defense” were disappointed to hear that the release of Season 2 Episode 7 has been delayed due to COVID-19 related production issues.
The production team behind the popular anime series cited delays in video production due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in China, where much of the animation is outsourced. China has recently seen a surge in cases, prompting some cities to implement lockdown measures and causing disruptions to various industries, including the anime industry.
“We have been producing the program to deliver it as originally planned, but this time we have decided to postpone the broadcast and distribution,” said a statement on the official website for the anime series. “Although it is a measure based on unforeseen circumstances, we are very sorry for causing inconvenience and concern to everyone who is looking forward to the work. We sincerely appreciate your understanding.”
Bofuri Season 2 Episode 7 Release Date
Bofuri season 2 episode 7 was originally scheduled to air on February 22nd, but will now be released on March 8th. The broadcasting schedule for episodes 11 and 12 has yet to be determined.
The pandemic has had a significant impact on the anime industry, as many productions rely on outsourcing to countries like China and South Korea, where animation work can be done at a lower cost. With pandemic-related disruptions affecting these countries, it’s not surprising that the anime industry has also been affected.
Other anime series have also been affected by pandemic-related production delays. For example, “Nier: Automata Ver 1.1a” went on hiatus after episode 3, but recently announced its return with episode 4 releasing on February 18th. Another anime, “Ayakashi Triangle”, was delayed after airing episode 5. “The Misfit of Demon King Academy Season 2 Episode 7” has also been delayed.
The delays have been frustrating for fans, who have been eagerly anticipating the release of these episodes. However, many fans have also expressed understanding and support for the production teams who are facing unprecedented challenges in these difficult times.
It’s unclear when the pandemic-related production delays will subside, and the anime industry, like many other industries, will have to continue to adapt to the changing circumstances. Fans will have to be patient as the industry navigates these challenges.
Despite the setbacks, there is still much to look forward to in the anime world, with many highly anticipated releases still scheduled for the coming months. As always, fans can count on the anime industry to deliver top-quality content, even in the face of adversity.
