The official website of the upcoming Fall 2021 anime World’s End Harem announced on Friday that the anime’s production committee has delayed the anime’s episode 2 and later episodes from this fall to January 2022.

According to the official website, the reason for this delay is due to a need to “closely examine” the anime’s production.

本日より放送・配信開始のアニメ『#終末のハーレム』につきまして、表現の精査が必要であるため、来週からの第2話以降の放送と本日からの配信を来年1月クールに延期させていただくことになりました。作品を楽しみにお待ち下さっていた皆様に対して心よりお詫び申し上げます。https://t.co/ZUzBxb7MGS pic.twitter.com/RCjrUZ0QG7

In addition, episode 1 will air in Japan as scheduled, but it will not stream until January 2022. It will not be available on Crunchyroll to stream who was the official worldwide distributor of this series.

They streamed the episode on Twitter and YouTube on September 25, 2021 as an early screening as well.

The anime will have a total of 11 episodes, according to their four Blu-ray and DVD volumes. The delay also affected their release dates.

The editorial department of Shonen Jump Plus where the manga has been serialized calls the delay “regrettable.”

編集部としても痛恨の思いですが、アニメ『終末のハーレム』2話以降が来年1月へ放送延期となりました。
iOSアプリでの公開停止に始まり、今回の延期…
困難に直面しても『終末のハーレム』は止まりません。

現在、原作コミックス5巻分を無料解放中です。
今晩放送の1話の続きを是非お楽しみください。 https://t.co/q0o920Ny2i

In fact, the manga has also experienced halts on its Android and iOS apps since the work launched in 2016. As of 2021, it’s available on the official website Shonen Jump Plus, and Android.

However, it has not been available on the iOS app store, before 2017. Referring to both, the anime’s delay and the manga’s suspension, they make a firm resolution “World’s End Harem will never cease even in the face of obstacles”.
