We learned back in the summer of 2018 with the fifth volume of So I’m a Spider, So What? that an anime adaptation of the property was in the works. Back in February, Crunchyroll announced their pickup of the series and announced their availability for it is set for North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, and the Middle East.
Now, the official production has updated with a new key visual to the right and an announcement that the two-cour series is being pushed to January 2021, citing production delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This is, again, expected with a number of productions planned for the summer and fall seasons this year as shutdowns during the spring and slow start-ups in the summer will cause things to be pushed back.
Aoi Yuki is set to star.
It comes from the novels by Okina Baba and Tsukasa Kiryu. The manga adaptation is produced by Asahiro Kakashi.
