Crunchyroll Delays English Dubs of 22 Episodes of Different Anime Series Due to a Severe Winter Storm

On a recent Friday, Crunchyroll shared news (previously via Twitter) about delayed dubbing for 22 episodes spread across 11 diverse series. This delay is attributed to the effects of particularly harsh weather conditions.

A significant snowstorm swept through the South U.S. on a Friday, impacting locations such as Texas, Georgia, and certain sections of Oklahoma. This weather system led to approximately 3,000 canceled flights and power failures in the affected areas.

Texas, where Crunchyroll’s in-house dubbing studio is based, has been particularly impacted.

Here are the delayed episodes for your viewing pleasure:

* MF Ghost Season 2, Episode 12
* Natsume’s Book of Friends Season 7, Episode 12
* I’ll Become a Villainess Who Goes Down in History, Episodes 12 and 13
* FAIRY TAIL: 100 Years Quest, Episode 25
* Shangri-La Frontier Season 2…

These episodes have experienced some delays in their English dub release. Keep an eye out for the updated schedule!
