The official website for the Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World anime announced today that the ongoing broadcast Season 2 will go on hiatus until further notice. The statement from the production committee on the official X (formerly Twitter) reads:
Thank you very much for your continued support for the TV anime Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World Season 2. We have decided to postpone the broadcast and streaming of Episode 5 and onward in order to maintain the quality of the main story. We apologize for the inconvenience and concern this may cause our viewers who have been looking forward to the work and everyone involved.The KimiSen 2 Production Committee will continue to work together with the original novel’s author, Kei Sazane, the original novel’s editorial department, and the production studio. Including the episodes that have already aired, the entire staff will make every effort to meet the expectations of those who have been looking forward to the work. We sincerely appreciate your understanding.
The original novel’s author, Kei Sazane also said in the statement:
I am truly sorry that some of you may feel uneasy. That is why, as the original author, I think the most important thing is to reassure everyone by honestly informing them of the positive future of ‘KimiSen Season 2.’ First of all, the postponement of Season 2 is due to a positive reason: ‘We want to deliver ‘Kimi Sen’ as a work that can be enjoyed even more. Of course, Sazane also loves the current “KimiSen” Season 2. The amazing OP and ED movies and the battle against Vichyssoise in the third episode. All of these visuals were made beyond Sazane’s image. I think there is no end to the list of favorite scenes in other episodes as well. On the other hand, however, some people voiced their concerns that the quality of the visuals in some parts of the animation was questionable. The production committee and the production studio took these concerns seriously, and that is how this decision came to be.
