Thanks for the update.... yeah, they really can't guarantee anything til they assess the overall picture.

[Arabesque]

It's obvious that not only anime, but all luxury goods are going to take a massive hit. People will want to go after essentials right now, and be more prepared to what's to come.

I expect that for a while things will continue to be on hold, until the more pressing issues are sorted.

[Roloko vi Britannia]

Also I heard on the MAL forums that they are going to cut off power everyday for 3 hours until the end of April. Someone probably could have already posted this, but oh well

[Vexx]

They are indeed going to have rolling blackouts in parts of japan that still have electricity... but this is being covered over in the earthquake/tsunami disaster thread.

[wingdarkness]

I'm absolutely astonished they'll be airing anything in any kind of timely fashion...After seeing what happened I would think 3-6 month hiatus atleast on most everything anime/manga wise...I know businesses have to somehow survive this, but I'm pretty shocked they'll be a decent amount of any content this month...On the other hand I guess Japan's disaster is tantamount to America still selling magazines and showing new programs after 9/11 occurred..Still though...

At this point only Tohaku and parts of Kanto - areas served by TEPCO - are subject to rolling blackouts. Points South and West are unaffected.

[Dist]

What's the point of the blackouts anyway ? Is there not enough electricity to cover all areas 24/7 unless they have these blackouts now that those plant(s?) are unusable.

[BaKaBaKaOtaKu]

this is so saddening.. DX

power grid management. You have a source (power plants) and a load (everyone using electricity). You have to keep it balanced. Since so many plants are down, someone gets to have power off. Rolling blackouts are the fairest way of sharing pain. I'm surprised that non-TEPCO areas aren't also having rolling blackouts because power grids are usually inter-connected just to mitigate such situations but I don't know Japanese philosophy and design on electric power grid management.

Often there are older plants (likely non-nuclear) on "standby"/"mothballed" that may be fired up but that takes time.

News: Anime/Manga Releases Delayed After Quake: Part II

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news...-quake/part-ii


The following anime, manga, and related releases have been delayed or cancelled in Japan due to the March 11 earthquake (Tōhoku Chihō Taiheiyō-oki Jishin) and tsunami:



Gosick
The anime series did not air on TV Tokyo on March 11 during the emergency earthquake special programming. The anime will not air on TV Aichi on March 21, TV Osaka on March 22, TVQ Kyushu Broadcasting on March 23, and TV Setouchi on March 23. When the anime resumes on TV Asahi, TVQ, and TV Setouchi, it will be in rescheduled timeslots.


DD Hokuto no Ken
The official website of the DD Hokuto no Ken television Flash anime series announced that the 10th episode did not air on Tuesday, March 15 as scheduled due to the earthquake-related programming changes.


Weekly Shonen Magazine
This year's 16th issue of Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Magazine has been delayed one day or longer (depending on the area) from its previously scheduled date of Wednesday, March 16 due to the earthquake. Kodansha anticipates that future issues will also be delayed.


Aquarion
The official blog of the Aquarion anime franchise announced on Wednesday that the Aquarion Kanzen Gattai Blu-ray Box has been delayed from March 23 to March 30 due to the earthquake's effects on shipping.


Super Sentai
The movie company Toei announced on Wednesday that the upcoming 35th anniversary Super Sentai project, Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Daikessen, has had its production schedule delayed by the earthquake. As a result, the live-action special-effects film's opening has been delayed from the original May 21 date. The new opening date will be announced on the official website.
Thanks to egoist for the news tip.

Two of my BD orders have also been delayed. Just got the notification from Animate this afternoon. Still waiting on Aniplex to announce the new release date for volume 4 of Ore no Imouto BD.

Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu OVA "Matsuri" Part 2
Original Release Date: 23rd March, 2011
New Release Date: 30th March, 2011

Toaru Majutsu no Index II - Volume 3
Original Release Date: 24th March, 2011
New Release Date: 6th April, 2011

[Shinji103]

On the other hand, K-ON voume 9, for one, was released as scheduled (March 16, just yesterday) and the bonus episode quickly got out onto the internet. That should be a pretty good sign that things are already calming down over there, outside of the tsunami-effected areas and the situation with the reactors, anyway.

[DragoZERO]

They should just move everything a week ahead. A re-run can fill a spot if they need.

[KyriaL]

well they should be given sufficient time to properly organize time slots. Take longer time if needed, just try to make sure everything is going fine before continuing on

^Why do japanese write clock times like that. Ex. Yumekui Merry airs 25:58 .. Do they not use 24 hour clock ?

Thanks for that list btw, glad to see Merry is going to air today and too bad I can't see Bakuman on your list

That was actually announced in the ToLoveRu Darkness thread a while ago.
