On the official site for the original anime from the director of “Girls und Panzer” and “Shirobako“, “Train to the End of the World (Shuumatsu Train Doko and Iku?)”, it was reported that the final episode will be delayed by a week due to production issues. Consequently, episode 12, which was going to be broadcast on June 17, will now be broadcast until June 24.
It should be remembered that director Tsutomu Mizushima reported from the beginning of the broadcast in April 2024 that production was already having problems since then. According to their report, when the broadcast began they had not even produced until the fourth episode, which already predicted future crises.
This project was announced in commemoration of the anniversary of “Railway Day (鉄道の日)”, which commemorates the date in 1872 when Shimbashi was linked to Yokohama by railway. The Railway Festival that takes place aims to promote awareness of railway safety, but more broadly acts as an event where adults and children can learn more about trains and the railway network.
