Anime Voice Actress Megumi Ogata Hs Broken Her Silence Over The Issue.
Moreover, Toilet-Bound Hanako-Kun anime voice actress Megumi Ogata has opened up about this issue via her Twitter account saying that people should not complain about the quality of the anime going down during this difficult time.
She further said how conditions are bad worldwide and the situation is getting worse with time. So it is actually amazing that the show is even airing. It is indeed a good thing that the show is continuing despite the several technical issues. The delay is just for a few months and not for a whole year.
It is also reported that Re: Zero S2 would be two hours hours since the first season was also a two-cour anime. lance is pretty much necessary since the next major story arc is long enough to require more episodes in order to maintain good story pacing. Now with the second season shifting to July, we have to wait a while for the second chapter to unfold.
