In a surprising update for fans of the ongoing anime Oshi no Ko, Episode 10 of Season 2 has been delayed. The news was revealed right after the broadcast of Episode 9, much to the disappointment of eager viewers.
Instead of the anticipated continuation, a special recap episode will air next week, featuring interviews with Megumi Han, the voice actor of Kana, and Manaka Iwami, the voice actor of Akane. Additionally, a recap of episodes 1 to 9 will be narrated by Takeo Otsuka, the voice actor of Aqua. This news comes from the anime’s official X handle.
The delay is brief, with Episode 10 now scheduled to air on September 11, 2024, at 11 pm JST. The episode will first air on TOKYO MX, followed by other local television networks in Japan. International fans can stream the episode on HIDIVE. While the official reason for the delay has not been disclosed, some reputable anime news accounts have speculated that production issues are to blame, suggesting that the team needs more time to complete the season’s remaining episodes. However, this information remains unconfirmed, so it’s best to wait for an official statement from their X account or website.
While a one-week delay is frustrating, it’s reassuring that it’s not an indefinite hiatus like some other series have experienced in the past. With the Private Arc set to begin after the conclusion of the 2.5D Stage Play Arc in Episode 9, a recap might even be a welcome refresher.
For fans eagerly awaiting the continuation of Oshi no Ko, this brief pause offers a chance to revisit the series and build anticipation for the exciting developments ahead. Stay tuned for updates, and mark your calendars for September 11th when Episode 10 will finally air!
