Anime Limited has had a bit of a rough time lately with release dates, something that nearly every company goes through at one time or another in trying to deal with growth, licensor demands, and the usual production problems, and that has them now revealing multiple titles whose dates have shifted. It’s also reduced some of their first quarter output.
“Pick a project – various falling down moments at different stages in every project have contributed to this. Taking a good hard look at where everything stood after the holidays, we realised that yes, another round of delays. This time though, we’ve decided to leave our optimism behind and be very conservative in our new dates. Pushing for worst case scenario and hoping for the best,” stated the newsletter.
- Tokyo ESP has shifted to 28th March.
- Durarara!! X2 – The First Arc: Shou has been pushed back to 25th April.
- Letter To Momo has shifted to 11th April.
- Selector Infected WIXOSS and Lord Marksman and Vanadis have both shifted to 18th April.
- Expelled From Paradise and Psychic School Wars, both were marked previously as TBC and we can now confirm that these will be getting released on 9th May.
- Gundam Reconguista in G Part 1, previously we mentioned it was TBC until further notice and today we’re happy to confirm it will be coming on 27th June.
- Riddle – Story of Devil and Brothers Conflict have both been shifted to 27th June.
