This week, Mother Nature has wreaked havoc across North America. Western regions like California are grappling with devastating wildfires, while Eastern areas are battling severe cold spells. These drastic weather changes and environmental issues have significantly impacted numerous American citizens. Similarly, the anime industry has experienced consequences due to shifts in the atmosphere. Crunchyroll has announced that certain popular anime series will postpone their future episodes, resulting in delayed English Dub releases. Interestingly, some of these weather-affected delays have even reached as far as Dallas, Texas, impacting several major anime franchises.
Previously mentioned, some severe snow and freezing winter weather has affected numerous states across North America, with Texas standing out as a notable example due to its concentration of anime voice actors in Dallas. The wintry conditions have disrupted their prearranged recording sessions, causing uncertainty about the new release dates for delayed episodes. Although an exact date hasn’t been set yet, it’s reasonable to assume that fans won’t have to wait much longer than usual for the shows to return. Here’s hoping everyone in the anime industry can weather the winter storm safely over the next few days and resume their work soon.

I’ve noticed that Crunchyroll, the popular streaming service, has not only disclosed which anime series have been affected by the recent U.S. cold snap but also shared a list of specific episodes that may require additional time to stream due to the weather conditions.
