Technoroid: Overmind anime began airing on January 5, 2023, and it quickly captured the attention of anime fans worldwide.
The longtime fans of the series had to wait almost a year for the anime, which was delayed from July 2022 because its production company, Doga Kobo, had been temporarily closed in April 2022 due to a rapid increase in staff members diagnosed with COVID-19.
The series is currently on its 7th episode, but some heartbreaking news for the fans was announced on Monday.
The official website for Technoroid Overmind, the television anime portion of Noriyasu Agematsu, RUCCA, and Elements Garden’s Technoroid multimedia project, announced that it is delaying the anime’s 8th episode by one week due to the effects of COVID-19 on the production.

The announcement can be frustrating for fans who had been looking forward to the conclusion of the season. The anime will re-air the first episode on February 22, 2023. The staff will announce the broadcast schedule, starting with the 8th episode, later.
COVID-19 has been affecting many anime studios and their schedules. Although it can be disappointing to wait a bit longer for the season finale, it is important that the production staff makes sure they can produce a quality product while ensuring the safety of all involved.
