One of 2024’s most talked about anime – Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? V or Danmachi Season 5 – has suffered a sudden setback with a delay before Episode 9.
Having started airing on October 5, 2024, as a part of the Fall 2024 lineup, every new episode of Danmachi Season 5 releases on Saturday. The upcoming Episode 9 was originally supposed to air on November 30. However, the makers recently announced that the release date of the episode has been postponed due to production issues.
The new release date for Danmachi Season 5 Episode 9 has been announced to be on Thursday, December 5, 2024. This change in schedule may also impact the original run of the anime series. The fifth season, listed for 15 episodes, was originally supposed to end on January 11, 2025. But now that Episode 9 has been postponed, it can conclude at a later date.
