The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the production and release of new anime. Many anime studios faced delays and disruptions in their production schedules due to restrictions on movement, staff shortages, and safety concerns. This led to postponed release dates, halted productions, and overall slower output of new anime series. Additionally, the closure of theaters and cancellation of events affected the promotion and distribution of new anime releases. Despite these challenges, the anime industry has adapted by implementing remote work and safety measures to continue creating and sharing content with fans.
