One of the biggest concerns over this series came when Studio Shaft’s logo, known for shows like March Comes In Like a Lion, disappeared from the opening and ending credits of the series from episodes six, onwards.
The exact reason for their departure is unknown. However, fans speculate that Studio Shaft could have decided to severe ties with the series following the unprecedented amount of delays.
I don't want to sound alarming or anything because we don't know the actual circumstances but it'd be funny and sort of ironic if Shaft abandoned the production because of terrible schedule lol.

How to watch Crunchyroll from outside your location in 2023
Crunchyroll is the world’s best hub for streaming anime, whether it’s One Piece, Attack on Titan, or Jujutsu Kaisen – and thanks to ExpressVPN, you can access the platform’s full library even if you’re outside the US.
If you’re abroad, here’s what you need to do to access Crunchyroll’s full selection – and it really is this simple:
- Sign up for ExpressVPN, which has ultra-fast servers and offers a secure, private connection wherever you are in the world.
- Connect to a location anywhere in the US; Express VPN allows you to choose from 24 different spots, from New Jersey to Santa Monica.
- Visit Crunchyroll online and start streaming all of your favorite animes – and perhaps some you’ve never watched.
Accessing Crunchyroll’s US roster makes a difference. For example, Hong Kong users only have access to less than 100 titles, while the US has nearly 1,000 movies and TV shows.
You can also stream anime on Crunchyroll for free with an ad-supported plan. Or you can pay for a subscription – there’s even a 14-day free trial if you can’t quite make up your mind.
