Tengu Kobo's CG assistant, Naoya Fukushi , discusses production issues with the anime "Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?" on Twitter. He explains the anime's production issues and the reasons for the delay of episode 24.
Translated tweet:
There are many insensitive tweets from people unaware of the production situation. The outsourced animation on several episodes completely broke, and Millepensee (studio) had to redo everything from scratch. The team ended up being too busy for the later episodes that were reserved for them, which is a big reason for the poor quality. The team is literally killing themselves dealing with this. Please be patient with the delay...
I agree with the sentiment that regardless of the situation at the studio, what matters is what's broadcast. No matter the reason, missing the broadcast is highly frowned upon. But I made this tweet because I just wanted people to know that my friends' studio is fighting desperately for this anime. And the people hurling insults won't stop until someone takes their own life.
Furthermore, episode 24 was originally scheduled to premiere last Friday. Furthermore, the anime's official website announced last Wednesday that the episode would be delayed due to production issues. The anime premiered on January 8th. However, it was scheduled to premiere last year, but production was severely affected COVID-19
