#Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun TV Anime Likely Getting Tokyo Olympics Delay

The NHK Anime World Twitter account revealed yesterday that all the prime-time anime that is currently being shown on NHK and NHK-E in Japan will “likely” be getting postponed due to the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics. We reported on the Love Live! Superstar!! postponement last night, but more series’ has since come to light, including the possible delay of Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun.

While Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun‘s only suspended episode is currently set for August 28, the official website for the series does note that any of the broadcasts in July and August could be affected due to the Olympics. Both NHK-E and the NHK General channel will be showing wall-to-wall Olympic coverage for the weeks the games are being held. 

Other shows affected by the scheduling include Butt Detective, Nintama Rantaro, Uchuu Nanchara Kotetsu-kun, and all the rest of the kid’s TV anime programming on NHK-E. 

The second season of Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun streams weekly on Crunchyroll, who describes it as such:

Suzuki Iruma, human, 14, one day finds himself taken against his will into the world of demons. To add to his predicament, his doting owner and self-appointed “Grandpa” is the chair-demon at his new school. In order to survive, Iruma must deal with a haughty student who challenges him to a duel, a girl with adjustment issues, and so many more scary beings! Can this ultimate pacifist dodge the slings and arrows that are flung his way? As he struggles frantically, Iruma’s innate kindness begins to win over enemies.
