The original anime Vlad Love will delay its release date

On the official Twitter account for the original Mamoru Oshii anime, Vlad Love reported that the project's release date, scheduled for fall this year, will be delayed indefinitely.

According to the statement, the decision was made to protect the production team from the current pandemic of the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) that Japan is experiencing. The staff will announce the new release date as soon as decided.

シリーズアニメは、劇場用アニメの廉価版ではない！
連続モノだからこそできることをやってみたかった。
久しぶりのシリーズ作品、作っていてとても楽しい。
このコメディが視聴者にどう受け入れられるか、たいへん興味深い。

In a comment from the director himself, he commented: “Producing serialized anime is no less expensive than making an anime for theatrical release! I want to do something special that can only be done in a television series. This project has been fun so far and I am quite excited to see the end result.
