Crunchyroll made an announcement on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday regarding delays in the dubbing of 22 episodes across 11 different series. These delays are due to the impact of severe weather.

A major winter storm hit the southern United States on Friday, affecting areas like Texas, Georgia, and parts of Oklahoma. The storm has caused over 3,000 flight cancellations and power outages in affected regions.

Texas, where Crunchyroll’s in-house dubbing studio is based, has been particularly impacted.

The following English dub episodes have been delayed:

– Mf Ghost Season 2 episode 12

– Natsume's Book of Friends Season 7 episode 12

– I'll Become a Villainess Who Goes Down in History episodes 12 and 13

– Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest episode 25

– Shangri-La Frontier Season 2…

Due to the weather, Crunchyroll has had to delay the dubbing work for the episodes mentioned above. The company’s main studio relies on Texas-based talents and has already shifted to mostly in-person...

Anime streaming service Crunchyroll has announced a delay for several major upcoming anime episodes. The news comes at a time of especially bad weather in Dallas, Texas, where a lot of recording takes place for anime English dubs.

Crunchyroll has not specified a location that has led to the delays; however, many of the voice actors for the below-listed anime live in and around Dallas, a major industry hub for professional voice acting and dubbing due to the multiple talent agencies and studios located there. Crunchyroll’s message does confirm that the episodes in question have been delayed due to "severe weather."

Crunchyroll has announced delays for several English-dubbed anime episodes due to severe weather conditions affecting their production schedules. The impacted episodes are as follows:

Blue Lock Season 2, Episode 11 Mf Ghost Season 2, Episode 11 Natsume’s Book Of Friends Season 7, Episode 11 Arifureta Season 3, Episodes 10 and 11 You Are Ms. Servant, Episode 11 Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest, Episode 23

Fans attributed the delay to a major winter storm affecting the Dallas area, where Crunchyroll’s in-house dubbing studio, formerly operating under the Funimation name, is located.

They have pointed out that the region is currently grappling with icy conditions and snow, leading to widespread closures of businesses and government services.

Crunchyroll is yet to provide new release dates for the affected episodes.

Some timeless anime is not for all ages, with seinen anime adaptations originally geared towards adult male audiences in mind, being exceptionally provocative experiences. Seinen anime has a reputation for sparking fierce debate among connoisseurs of the medium, with everything from action to horror to sports and drama encompassed by the many manga it adapts. While the medium's greats are far more numerous, the best seinen anime boasts experiential satisfaction, artistic innovation, and usually a sophisticated adaptation that elevates the source material to greater heights.

Seinen anime adaptations gained particular prominence in the 1990s with high-profile adaptations of some of the best manga of the era. Many of the best series are short-lived but have long-tail buzz potential as a discussion topic among fans due to their poignant and intense narratives or iconic quirks of the adapting studios and staff.

This Fall season Crunchyroll has started releasing episodes for Mf Ghost and Overtake! The Man Who Races, giving audiences not one but two racing anime shows after years without them. The genre hasn't had much representation in recent years, so it would be a waste to skip out on either while they're airing. This may be the best chance to watch racing anime and understand the allure of cars in animation.

It's been nearly a decade since Initial D's last season was broadcast, and since then car shows have been a minority and out of sight. It's, therefore, surprising to have two different racing shows turn up this season. But this only means there is no better opportunity to see what the genre has to offer to new audiences. Crunchyroll steps up and delivers two racing anime shows that will surely pique the interest of fans.

There’s a lot to be excited about with Crunchyroll’s new slate of anime. While there is plenty of new anime landing on Crunhchyroll this season, some fan-favorite series will continue airing from the previous one, including One Piece, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Detective Conan. Also, the majority of these anime will all receive dubs in English, Latin American Spanish,...

Summer’s over, and that means there’s some fall goodies coming from streamers, and that’s including all-new and returning anime titles from the giant Crunchyroll.

Look, it is Crunchyroll, the one-stop-shop for all things anime, manga and more. Ending the month of September will be the release of romantic high school-based series “A Girl & Her Dog.” Pivoting to a more combat-centered show is Berserk of Gluttony,” which will debut the first day October.

There’s also several titles that are continuing into the fall season from summer 2023, including “One Piece,” the second season of “Jujutsu Kaisen,” “Case Closed (Detective Conan),” “Rurouni Kenshin” and “Soaring Sky! Procure.” Heading to the streamer soon is “Overtake,” “Bullbuster,” “Arknights: Perish in Frost,” “My Daughter Left the Nest and Returned an S-Rank Adventurer,” “I’m Giving the Disgraced Noble Lady I Rescued a Crash Course in Naughtiness,” “Migi & Dali” and “Stardust Telepath.”

One of the most iconic anime of the 1990s and early 2000s is Initial D – it's even recognized by non-anime fans. The classic drift racing series quickly became a firm part of the international anime landscape, thanks in part to its somewhat jarring use of early CGI and its pulse-pounding Eurobeat soundtrack. Despite how enduring the property has been throughout the decades, its mostly overlooked sequel hasn't raced to the same type of success.

Mf Ghost began publication in Kodansha's Weekly Young Magazine in 2017, over 20 years after its predecessor started. Unfortunately, it hasn't had nearly as much mainstream success or recognition as Initial D, however. This stems from the quality of the work itself to how much the first series was a product of its time. Now that Mf Ghost is getting an anime adaptation, its relation to Initial D and comparative lack of success is worth exploring.
