#World’s End Harem 2nd Episode Delayed to January 2022

The second episode of World’s End Harem has been delayed to January 2022 due to “scrutiny” over the show’s “presentation.” 

The first episode of the sci-fi ecchi series, which was to premiere on October 8, 2021, will be broadcast on TV on its original release date as a special advance release. However, streaming will now begin next January.

World’s End Harem was mean to stream on Crunchyroll and Bilibili as part of the Fall 2021 anime season outside of Japan.

World’s End Harem is based on the manga written by LINK and illustrated by Kotarō Shōno. It began in 2016 and has so far been collected into 13 volumes, with the latest volume being released in October 2021. Additionally, the series has received a second part titled World’s End Harem After World as well as spin-offs like World’s End Harem: Fantasia, World’s end harem ~Britannia Lumiére~, and World’s End Harem: Fantasia Gakuen.

Penguin Random House describes the manga as:

The Man-Killer Virus: a lethal disease that has eradicated 99.9% of the world’s male population. Mizuhara Reito has been in cryogenic sleep for the past five years, leaving behind Tachibana Erisa, the girl of his dreams. When Reito awakens from the deep freeze, he emerges into a sex-crazed new world where he himself is the planet’s most precious resource. Reito and four other male studs are given lives of luxury and one simple mission: repopulate the world by impregnating as many women as possible! All Reito wants, however, is to find his beloved Erisa who went missing three years ago. Can Reito resist temptation and find his one true love?
