Naruto enthusiasts worldwide felt a jolt of surprise when the news broke out that the much-anticipated 2023 episodes were delayed. The silver lining, however, lies in the team’s assurance of elevating the series’ quality.
A Backstory to the Delays
While many might recall the flurry of delays during the pandemic’s peak, the trend seems to be re-emerging in the anime industry. A plethora of shows are witnessing postponements, with Naruto being the latest to join the list. Earlier, the anime rendition of Square Enix’s Nier: Automata saw its timelines disrupted due to COVID-19. Zom 100 has not been spared either, as mentioned by Kotaku. The pressing question remains – what hurdles are preventing the new Naruto reboot from gracing our screens?
Digging Deeper into the Naruto Postponement
News sources revealed that the episodes of the Naruto anime, initially planned for a September 3 release, will see a delay. The reason? A desire to enhance the viewing experience for fans. These episodes aren’t just any regular episodes; they mark two decades of the anime’s journey, making them all the more significant. The excitement escalates with FLOW’s commitment to lend their voice for the opening track ‘GO!!!’, and the ending song ‘Viva Rock’ promises to resonate with Orange Range’s musical touch.
“It was important for the betterment,”
the creators have emphasized. They’ve set their eyes on amplifying the episodes’ quality, hinting at the possibility that the preliminary versions might not have done justice to the fans’ heightened expectations. While this has brewed a mix of impatience and curiosity, avid watchers might find solace in the prediction of a release sometime next month.
