 Director Shinji Takamatsu mentioned on his Twitter account that the thirteenth and final episode of Sakamoto desu ga? will not be able to air on television. This is due to news coverage of the Kumamoto earthquakes in April which caused the episodes to be delayed by one week since the second episode.Takamatsu describes the news as "truly disappointing" because the staff had crafted the final episode specifically for television broadcast. The fifth Blu-ray and DVD volume of the anime, which will include the thirteenth episode, which will ship on October 26, 2016. Sakamoto desu ga?, produced by Studio Deen, has been airing since April 8. Nami Sano completed serialization of the manga last December. Source: Shinji Takamatsu Twitter News submitted by Nuel14 |

| sad news :( especially since the staff had crafted the final episode specifically for television coverage |
 |
| Any chance Crunchyroll might still stream it? |
| My signature is lame... |
| Just hope it won't fall into a similar situation like Kekkai Sensen or something. |
 |
| Sad news @Plutia @salokannel2 :c |

| Hopefully Crunchyroll will be able to stream it or if they release any other way online before October. I can't wait that long! This is an outrage I say. |
 |
| I just hope we won't have a new Kekkai Sensen case. |
 |
| If it won't air in Japan then there's little chance Crunchyroll will stream it. Stark700 said: Just hope it won't fall into a similar situation like Kekkai Sensen or something. It already has with this news. The only difference being the episode will be of regular 23 minutes instead of an extended finale. |
| now i need to wait until october to watch final episode... rage!!!! |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| So sad. This is one of my favorite shows! </3 I'm glad it will be released eventually though... |
| New Kekkai Sensen? |
 |
| Like I said in a previous thread about this news, this is like Kekkai Sensen all over again. Quite unfortunate. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| Sadness overwhelming. Not even Swagmoto can beat the corporations and tv scheduling. |
| Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime? |
| Oh my god. What a let down 👎 |
| Not big deal. The anime is mediocre anyway I would more sad if last episode of Koutetsujou no Kabaneri or Assassination CLassroom do not get aired |
| Noooo ;_: How can this be :c |
 |
| Rip. Stark700 said: Just hope it won't fall into a similar situation like Kekkai Sensen or something. That would be truly terrifying. |
| It was to be expected. This won't be the only anime i assume. |
 .. |
| sad for the fans but personally i dont care x) |
 |
| NOOOOOOO, well, sad news but can't help it. :/ |
 |
| It's a bit different then the kekkai sensen ordeal anyway. Kekkai was intentionally delayed as they changed it runtime to 40+mins so it couldn't air in it's timeslot, we didn't even know an air date till months later so we were always in the dark. This was unintentional due to the earthquakes in Kumamoto and we know when the episode will be available, October on the last BD. |
Max said: It's because the tweet mentions so.Every final episode of a TV series is specifically intended for TV, so I'm not quite sure why that was included in the writeup (but I'm no news mod). |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| This is a ruse. The truth is that the episode was just too fabulous, so we're not allowed to see it. |
✧ |
| ohh, com'on, first re:zero maybe delayed for tennis, and now this animes should really have a low priority in their airing schedule |

 |
| Argh... This can't be happening....mmmrrgghh...Hope I can still watch it after the BD/DVD out :( |
  |
Zeando said: ohh, com'on, first re:zero maybe delayed for tennis, and now this animes should really have a low priority in their airing schedule Rezero is not delayed. It's airing was delayed in some of the channels, but it has no effect on overall schedule beyond those channels. That has been confirmed already. |
|
| Fuck tectonic plates. |
 YeaOh! |
| Meh will just have to wait a bit longer for it :< |
 |
| This is very unfortunate to hear, especially knowing that the staffs had something planned for the final episode. Couldn't they skip a middle episode instead? Like if they skip episode 7, they can air the last episode on TV, and just include episode 7 into the volume. |

| Knew it, poor anime are treated like trash compared to the thousands of time they air some earthquake stuff and sports shows :'( |
 |

I was thinking the same way, let's just hope that they will change their minds |
 |
| Oh wow. So that's why it would air week after next, smh! |
| This sucks really hard.... Now we have to wait longer for that final episode ;S.. |
  |
| Oh wow - wasn't expecting that! It's such a shame time couldn't be found in the schedule at all. Disappointing, and I assume it will affect online streaming too... But, to put a positive spin... 'Good things come to those who wait'.... ?? ^_^;; |
 |
| Quite dissapointing indeed, but a little bit of wait can't hurt Swagamoto must be planning a stylish endind ! |
 |
| Very disappointing, but at least it gives us something to look forward to. Let's just hope that episode 12 doesn't end on a cliffhanger! |
| Fuck earthquakes amiright? Wasn't watching this while airing anyway so won't be too detrimental, can't wait to watch it when it ends though! |
 |
| awww.. well that sucks.... Lets just hope that the second to last episode isn't a cliff hanger.. x_x |
