Netflix has delayed the international release of the series to September 7, 2025. However, it's still scheduled to come out on July 5 in Japan.
I wanna say something but it's not really allowed on anilist.
Yk what it is ^^
Piracy good+based, but I'm not sure if we'll get the series fully subbed before the official release. The general Asian release in a week that was mentioned in this thread (though I haven't seen an official source for this) could have English subs, but if not, we'll probably have to pray for the fansubbers
Edit: the first subs seem to be available, but I strongly believe they're machine translations
People in my circle (and anyone who reads my posts, really) have known about this for about a week now so I've had my time to sort of accept this, but it still rubs me the wrong way.
This was my most anticipated anime of the year. It was the most anticipated new series of the season according to multiple polls. The manga is EXTREMELY popular with a devoted fanbase. And all of that hype just... dies out because Netflix has control of it. Any other service would have SOME kind of simulcast schedule. It's actually insane how badly Netflix botched this one, but I suppose it's to be expected after they delayed the last two episodes of My Happy Marriage Season 2 by over a month with zero updates.
I unfortunately just found this out today. I decided to contact Netflix support to see what information they might have as to why the release has been delayed for this anime but The Summer Hikaru Died is being simulcast. Unfortunately the person I talked to (if it was even a person, might have been AI) had no information on why these two titles have different release schedules. I just don't understand why two Netflix anime titles have two different styles of release schedules. It doesn't make sense.
This was my most anticipated title this season and now I have to wait until September? So disappointing.
