The official website of the Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha: Shijou Saikyou no Maou no Shiso, Tensei shite Shison-tachi no Gakkou e Kayou (The Misfit of Demon King Academy) television anime announced on Saturday that episode seven and beyond of season two will be delayed indefinitely due to the effects of COVID-19 on the production. The series will rebroadcast episode one to six starting February 19.

The second season premiered on January 8. Masafumi Tamura (Sekai Saikou no Ansatsusha, Isekai Kizoku ni Tensei suru) returned to direct the anime at SILVER LINK. Jin Tanaka (Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha) is handling the series composition and Kazuyuki Yamayoshi (ChäoS;Child) is designing the characters. Keiji Imai (Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka) is composing the music.

The anime adapts Shuu's fantasy magic action light novel, which began on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website in April 2017. Dengeki Bunko began printing the series in March 2018, featuring illustrations by Yoshinori Shizuma (Zero kara Hajimeru Mahou no Sho, Toji no Miko). Kadokawa published the eighth volume last October.

Haruka Kaya began drawing a manga adaptation in Manga UP! web magazine in July 2018. Square Enix released the fourth and final volume in March 2021.

J-Novel Club licensed the light novel in English on March 18 and released the third volume on January 6, with the fourth volume scheduled to be released on April 7.

Square Enix licensed the manga in English under its new Manga & Books imprint in July 2019. The fourth volume shipped on July 26.

Unfortunate...

Aniplex bit off more than they could chew, and even with all the previous delays, it seems like they haven't been able to get it back under control.

While they may say COVID is the reason, it's probably only the factor which ended up pushing Aniplex's precariously tight schedule over the edge, and I hope they learn from this.

This show was one of the few, who managed to survive heights of the pandemic back in 2020 without being delayed, yet is caving in now. The irony. 🤣

Why I am not suprised, almost every Aniplex show is delayed.
This happens when you outsource the anime to China, when corona-chan hit China and delays starts to happen.
2020 summer all over again with these delays.

I am not surprised. Why they even take a work and state this? Do they really think that people believe in this "explanation"? It is ridiculous.

By the way, the series itself is bad. Don't recommend to watch it.

This isn't a surprise , it was just a matter of time of when the announcement will come . It's ironic the first season was also delayed to summer back then , now they'll probably re-broadcast the 2nd season again in Summer too and Part 2 will be in 2024 unfortunately . 

” Then she brought him to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have certainly done a thing unprecedented. O sister of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste.” So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to one who is in the cradle a child?” [Jesus] said, “Indeed, I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet. And He has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and alms tax as long as I remain alive. And [made me] dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant. And peace is on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I am raised alive.” That is Jesus, the son of Mary—the word of truth about which they are in dispute. It is not for Allah to take a son; exalted is He! When He decrees an affair, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is. [Jesus said], “And indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” [Holy Quran : Chapter Maryam (Mary) : 23-36]

Well, just another excuse to take a break. On the other hand, in Japan they really believe in all this and go crazy about it. When the world has learned the truth, they still firmly believe in this nonsense and take ineffective measures against it. I hope they will not end up like it was with ban on meat, that we'll have to wait ages until they abolish it.

It's a shame because I actually like Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha.

Can someone explain the situation? Why is Aniplex being blamed? I know Corona isn't a good excuse anymore, but it's not like it's not a valid one.

after post covid period, any competent company would already have production schedule that prepared for expected emergency like this. seems like aniplex completely ignore any possibility of emergency and back to precovid practice with very tight schedule that even some small dent in the progress is enough to ruin everything during production. this is like petrol station not preparing fire hydrant and then the fire broke out and they have nothing to stop it and everything burned to the ground. that's why only some company like aniplex hit really hard compare to other production company.

you get your logic backwards. this happen BECAUSE aniplex completely ignoring the existence of pandemic and did not take measure on something that could've happen, and then it did happen hence the delay.

Another COVID excuse. It might be the Corona, but it might not. I feel like this is why Aniplex shouldn't rush productions like this!

For all those whining about Covid it’s still a huge problem in China where a lot of animation is outsourced. Like y’all understand the world is more than the US and Japan right?

NO OTHER STUDIO makes such a pitiful excuses and airs next episode on time except Aniplex. They simply lie to people who watch series from their A1 Studio. It looks pathetic.

Yes, we know that. And what? It is THEIR OWN PROBLEMS if they do ALL the work in China. They PERFECTLY know the situation with COVID-19 in China. It all looks so miserable.

Sorry for these words. I simply tired of seeing all these so called "delays" from them.

kadokawa has 2 of their series delayed for same reason too just for thus season (the shiled girl and kubo).
A-1 has no delay simply because they are the only one under aniplex direct ownership so they didn't outsource as much. as simple as that.
this is conspiracy theory level of logic.

and again, i already pointed it simply because they are being less outsourced since it was self fund rather than trough production committee.

create conflict? :> ok. you won't retract your lies, you won't delete them, and you can't verify anything you've said. so, you run away from a perceived conflict instead of validating your positions/statements/opinions with facts. should we insert some clucking chicken noises right here? or was i entirely and utterly correct that you don't know what you're talking about and/or just lying for the fun of it? perhaps you had some other nefarious purpose in mind? ah well, i guess a reasonable discussion isn't possible then.

Why they don't just simply plan themselves and do their work months earlier to avoid this situations? I mean, is not good for them and for the show, this is pretty fucking obvious.

I feel like they're overwhelmed by tons of work and use any kind of excuse to the whole crew involved in the production to take a break at home while some should be working.

This might be harsh but it's their fault and clearly lack of organization and planning, if they can't handle a thing that isn't that dangerous anymore like it was in 2020/2021, they shouldn't be working in this industry.
