UPDATE: Spring 2025 is set to be the return of episode 12 onwards! So 3 month break all things considered, your thoughts? See full live reactions to all these DanMachi episodes over on Patreon www.patreon.com/BrandonReviews
It makes sense to me.,. Jc staff has too many ongoing shows. They definitely probably don’t have the best conditions. Despite how season looked pretty good
It was expected, to some degree, from the start. They decided to give enough episodes for the whole arc to be adapted(15) when you have 12-13 weekly time slots per season - so from the start at least last 2 episodes would need to air next season if they find free timeslots. Add to this some production issues like week break before ep9 and now ep12, and you got too many episodes to show and probably not enough timeslots( productions buy timeslots 6+ months in advance so its not surprising).
This shouldn’t be happening in 2024! How are anime being mismanaged this much by promoter’s/exsec’s that they still haven’t learned how long staff need to animate to their standards. Somehow these companies keep getting away with it. It’s BS if you ask me. Put out what you have on the time you set but don’t blame the animators if it looks like 7DS season 3.
Oomori-sensei(LN author) tweeted about it: “To everyone who was looking forward to Episode 12, I’m truly sorry. The Season 5 Fertility Goddess Arc is an incredibly demanding story in terms of animation, action, and the sheer number of characters. Honestly, as the one who structured the series, I feel like I’m practically a demon myself, so I’m filled with a sense of regret. That said, I believe the staff and production company made the decision to focus not on meeting the “bare minimum standard,” but on delivering a high-quality DanMachi. I feel that the incredible effort poured into this season of DanMachi V speaks for itself. I know this delay may feel lonely or disappointing, but if you could wait just a little longer, I’d be deeply grateful. Thank you for your understanding.”
@@timkai I haven't started watching the season yet but I have already read the LN. I'm guessing this is referring to the War Game? If so, the delay sucks but you'd much rather them take longer to deliver sakuga during the climax of the arc.
Think of it this way, the fact that episode getting delayed just means the people at J.C. STAFF want it to be as high quality as possible. Hopefully we won't have to wait long, but I'm still excited to see episode 12.
I'm pissed, I was SO looking forward to watching episode 12 today. But as someone on the outside looking in, I don't know what those guys are going through.
yup it's rare for studios to even allow this so it must mean the last batch of episodes weren't even salvageable to release in a crunch. hopefully they're given all the time they need to finish them well
@@AHBrandonReviewsat this point, there's no excuse for them not to be bangers. Episode 9 DEFINITELY proved that. Just 1 more week of waiting back then and that one was the best of the season so far.
One of the biggest complaints I have is the fact they seem to always love cutting out Aiz's moments that are very important to this Arc, including additional dialogs she had regarding Bell and the situations he was in
The selfish part of me is sad/mad that we didn’t get the next episode this week, but the part of me that enjoys the show would rather have a fantastic delayed episode rather than a lackluster on time episode. So I look forward to seeing it when it’s ready
Yeah I didn't notice the episode looking bad at all, if anything I was kinda impressed like with the burning/healing scene was not expecting a delayed until further notice. Hope the staff works on it with a healthy schedule, we can wait.
Yeah I saw that indefinitely delayed few days ago... Last show I was watching that was indefinitely delayed was "Whisper me a love song" which aired spring 2024 and is dropping last 2 eps in 2 days. Bcs I guess no TV slots untill Chrismas, but Danmachi could squeeze either between winter/spring 2025 or spring/summer 2025 where there are TV slots bcs of changing seasons worst case I expect in a year a.k.a. Christmas 2025... But this is just OPINION I dont know the staff, but I hope they are doing okay.
Honestly I am not surprised by this news. J.C. Staff has been working on at least 5 Anime project this season....! They can take all the time they need to cook the remaining episodes with high production quality!
Something similar happened to Blood Blockade Battlefront or Kekkai Sensen as is more likely known , they had their last episode of Season 1 delayed because they were trying to figure out the best way to end the series , i think last episode of that series was delayed for almost 3 months , it aired it was amazing and that got them Season 2 , which was also a very well done and just as hilarious as the 1st season:D .Fingers Crossed ,something similar happens here and we get a really really good ending to the season and news on season 6:D
You had me after season 2. We will be here and cheer you on for such wonderful work to date. To all those quietly working to meet quality standards within deadlines, I salute you. Well Done!!
I think of this as a blessing. Because the fights to come are going to be freaking insane. They can more of how concerned Ais is about Bell. Like covering her eyes because she doesn't want to watch Bell get hurt more. Maybe just maybe have Ais' blood on her hands and then during the final move. Ais cheering for Bell. Just hope it is not delayed too much. It would give time for the author to get volume 21 done and we ger Dammachi season 6 sooner.
Even though most of us did not expect this to come through but I'll say I hope they can get their situations cleared up because I'm looking forward to see what's next. It's all about patience and whenever they're ready to re-aired the series, I'll be tuning in. There's no need to be in any hurry for those crew of DanMachi series.
They went on vacation 😢 while we wait for the next episode Jokes aside no chouce but juat patiently wait and hope for a better quality for the remaining episode
I was so surprised to learn of this last Thursday. As the anime was going strong, I know that it was not the best produce show but it still was far from the worst animation wise. But I hope that it comes back with single episode releases like Misfit of demon king academy. Rather than they just release every episode at once like Zom 100. Also I’m willing to wait a longer time for better animation as that will future proof it more. Then if it get rushed with bad animation
Ugh, that’s unfortunate news. I’ve resisted watching any episode of S5 because I want to binge it like I did the last 4 seasons. This happened with another show I was watching as well 😔.
Strangely enough, the anime got me interested in the light novels. After reading the novels, I'm somewhat disappointed in the anime adaptation. They cut many important arcs from other characters. I think JC Staff might hate Welf for some reason. That said, the novels don't do Freya justice compared to the anime.
I have high spirits, don't mind waiting honestly. If this allows them to spend more time to improve the episode I'm all for it. Sucks that it happened in the first place but we never know what the animators are going through.
So thats why I was confused why Bell was getting beat up like a ragdoll again. They did not post the episode yet. Well back to see him getting handled like a dead bunny.
I don’t know who’s worse executives in us healthcare or Japanese animator companies. How both these industries have thousands or hirable applicants at any moment yet hospitals in the us are historically understaffed and animators in Japan historically under paid and overworked.
That Japanese secular holiday of Christmas is done. That all important holiday of New Years is fast approaching. Expect things to be put on hold. Meanwhile, Japanese television is littered with specials and sumo tournaments. 15 episode season schedules at this time of year may get (conveniently) interrupted by seasonal shows/sports. AH Brandon is correct...airing will resume. Have a little faith and patience.
honestly i want them to take the time they need to do what they need for the show. like i want the next eps asap but i also want them to continue to give us great shows, so better them take a moment than burn out and put out something they're not happy with n we aren't happy with.
Very excited for its return! My second favorite anime! It's a bummer it came at such a hype juncture, but I'm not mad. I'll always appreciate the effort to give us better quality
I hope they plan to release an absolute 11 out of 10 episode that is longer than normal, because Solo leveling 2nd season just about to air. That is gonna make anime fans forget abou danmachi.....
Hate when this randomly happens. Imo just dont even start airing episodes if season not already ready to go. rather just wait til ready rather than get 🐓blocked mid season.
Great an indefinite delay. I seriously hate delays when an anime is this good, here's hoping it doesn't take a year or a few months for the next episode.
i rather have a delay and good quality, than a rushed episode with poor quality. when i am complaining, it is never at the animators, but the studio CEO, or the studio itself. animators are underpayed for the work they do, and the pressure is huge withing the office. it's the kind of job you do, because you love doing it, for it will not make you rich, that money is for the greedy CEO. i do complain. a human that doesn't complain isn't human at all.
No wonder why I was not able to find the episode this morning. But it is understandable. I don’t mind waiting. I am waiting for one piece anime to come back. How bad can this one be?
To be honest, I'm frustrated because of where it leaves off in terms of the action, the fighting, Bell getting absolutely destroyed, Personally I will be rewatching the entire arc anyway when the show does come back just to refamiliarise myself as an anime only, but yeah the arc has been incredible for what we've seen of it for sure. Going to miss it definitely but it kind of feels like we've been preety much cucked but not at the same time? In the respect that we've basically seen what was mostly abit of a downer first half mostly with several episodes of Bell being psychologically tortured and mentally broken down and leaving off at such an intense point in story frustrates me. BUT the silver lining is I'd rather them do this than the series look like ass for the remainder of the season.
I'm all for quality over quantity. So take as long as needed. Honestly I think the industry should slow down and stop trying to put out a 100 shows every anime season.
These companies need to take on less projects and just finish the good ones first before making all these horrible filler shows. There is a good dozen shows every season that shouldn’t be made and would definitely put less stress on the whole industry
I just hate the wording. Indefinitely makes it sound like cancelled forever. Just let us know it’ll be done sometime next year. Not like it’ll take the. 2 years right? Just drop it at that point
I watched and waited for a decade, then got bored watching S3. S4 basn't got my attention back. I don't know what ep J'm on, (Hidive is a worthless service).. I think I'm over Dan Machi. They should have quit when the Manga did. The Autbor needs a new work, let Bell die.
Am I angry, frustrated, and disappointed that we won't get a new episode? Yes. Am I worried that it was TBD? Absolutely. With that being said, it's a ton better than the anime being canceled or no news at all. If they need more time, it is what it is. 🤷🏾♂️ Better late than never. Nothing us fans can do about it, other than wait in anticipation.

I mean there is 12 episode released technical a full season.
I can live with that.
When it comes back it has to go hard-core

Hell yeah!
It's a horrifying cliffhanger, but if being patient means a superior product will be delivered ...
Equanimity!

Damm Thats really is shame. Hoping it’s not big delay and take their time to improve the quality. Danmachi is to big to delayed for too long.
Wow! Ottar beat Bell so hard the animators refused to continue out of pity.
this comment made me laughed
I waited 86 days for that 86 PEAK, I can wait however long it takes for some DanMachi Peak!
This one knows our level of patience.
We shall stand strong and wait anime fans have waited years just for a season 2
Those last 2 86 episode were Completely worth the wait. I still cry every time I watch the ending
@@farmaceut8083 ik the feeling 86 is still one of my favorites
@@MrNaruto7860 just listening to Lilas is enough to make me cry!

Same
First it was ‘Our Last Crusade’ this summer when they delayed episode 5, then it was ‘Haigakura’ with episode 9 and now Danmachi with episode 12😩
Thats what happens when they take up so many projects at once
The selfish part of me is sad/mad that we didn’t get the next episode this week, but the part of me that enjoys the show would rather have a fantastic delayed episode rather than a lackluster on time episode. So I look forward to seeing it when it’s ready

I am so glad that I finally picked up the light novel. I will wait as long as it takes for them to do a good adaptation for this amazing story.

damn its just like uncle from another world hopefully its not half a year again love danmachi
Will the current, Eng, Dub episodes (7 - 11) still go out?
Should have no effect as thise episodes have already been released in jap

I expect a 1 hours of episode 12 for the indefinite delay
I love Danmachi, so I hope they take as much time as they need!
understandable, the series has been great the past 3 seasons. id rather they do it justice, although i do hate waiting xx
They are gonna animate my favorite part of vol18 of the light novel. Please make it good!

Oh lord. Thats why their was no review video.
⚠️ BREAKING NEWS ⚠️ Danmachi Season 5 will resume in early Spring 2025. So at least we know when it's coming back
Sucks its delayed but id rather wait and they deliver quality episodes instead of ruining the end of the season by rushing them out.
not really that surprise, jp celebrate new year too, its holiday season, give them a break
Well this is what happens when you spread your staff thin over alot of show. Hope the staff can finish things up properly
Indefinite hiatus... please, please don't remind me of Black Clover like that😢
Will DanMachi or One Piece return first?
We have until April to find out.
Yeahhhhhh it sucks but it’ll be worth the wait
Let them take as long as they need to do this arc justice.
Don't Blue lock season 2 Danmachi plz.
I'd rather wait for improvements in animation quality instead having another Seven Deadly Sins dilemma.
Oh nos 😢i need my Danmachi fixs 😮
in the meantime i'll entertain myself with danmachi season 5 ending ;)
I was waiting this episode anfld furfurthermore bruh😢😢😢
I just hope the next episode doesn't take a year.😂
