Key Takeaways
- 9th episode of DanMachi Season 5 delayed to December 5, 2024, affecting HIDIVE’s schedule.
- Delays in anime common due to tight schedules and increasing production demands.
- DanMachi universe follows Bell Cranel in a city where gods limit powers for fun, exploring dungeons.
As an ardent anime enthusiast with over two decades of immersion in the realm of Japanese animation, I must confess that delays in the release of new episodes have become as predictable as the rising and setting of the sun. Yet, it never ceases to dismay me when a much-anticipated series like DanMachi Season 5 gets pushed back, especially when the wait is prolonged until December.
The unexpected news has emerged that the release of the 9th episode of “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? V” (or “DanMachi” Season 5) originally scheduled for this week, has been postponed. No specific details have been provided about why this decision was made.
Lately, delays in anime releases have become quite frequent. Occasionally, the productions attribute these delays to COVID-19, but it’s evident that many producers are taking on more work than animators can typically manage in several instances. With weekly productions already under tight deadlines, the increasing number of simultaneous anime projects makes coordination increasingly challenging. While not all delays can be attributed to this (as external factors may impact production or broadcast), it’s always wise to consider this potential cause.
Instead, the next episode of DanMachi won’t air until a week later, specifically on December 5, 2024. Consequently, this delay may affect HIDIVE’s broadcast schedule as they stream new episodes concurrently with Japan. In the meantime, a revised version of Danmachi III’s original video anime will fill the series’ time slot on Japanese television (and it will also be available on streaming platforms in Japan).
The DanMachi novels and spin-offs
DanMachi, penned by Fujino Omori and illustrated by Suzuhito Yasuda, was originally introduced as a novel series back in 2013. To date, it has produced 19 volumes. This popular franchise has expanded into various forms of media, such as manga adaptations, spin-offs like Sword Oratoria, video games (both console and mobile versions), and animated adaptations – even for the Sword Oratoria spin-off. Yen Press is responsible for publishing all Danmachi manga and novels in the United States.
Starting from October, you can exclusively watch the latest season on HIDIVE. Now, the episodes are being given an English dubbing, which follows a weekly release schedule. The dubbed version is as timely as possible, with its premiere happening this month.
But what is it about?
In the world of DanMachi, various gods choose to reside within a city called Orario, curtailing their divine abilities for amusement. They recruit citizens from the city into what are essentially their own guilds, known as Familia, for the purpose of venturing into nearby dungeons. Here, they battle monsters and gather loot.
The story revolves around Bell Cranel, a young man who signs up with the goddess Hestia for familial partnership. In her sole familia, his ambition is to match the prowess of a legendary swordswoman, Ais Wallenstein, who once rescued him. Along his adventure, he seems unaware that he stirs interest among multiple women, including Hestia herself and others.
is available to stream on HIDIVE, alongside previous seasons, both subbed and dubbed in English. Some of the previous episodes can also be found on Hulu and Crunchyroll, but only HIDIVE streams the full series. Yen Press publishes all novels and manga (including
Sword Oratioria
) in the US.
