Megaton Musashi TV Anime Postpones Episode 27 Due to Production Delays
Cross-media kids’ franchise Megaton Musashi will be taking yet another brief hiatus—this time to catch up to their production schedule, which has been delayed for a variety of reasons.
In their official announcement, the producers cite both the effects of the coronavirus and a desire to “maintain the quality of the main story.” Both of these factors mean the studio has been racing to make up lost time, to which end the broadcast schedule has been altered.
After today’s planned broadcast of episode 26, the series will go on a two-week hiatus. Episodes 25 and 26 will be rebroadcast on February 24 and March 3, respectively. The regular broadcast schedule will resume on March 10 with episode 27.

Humans have no choice but to hide in shelters to escape their watchful gaze. Waiting for the day of resurrection, which they do not know when it will come… The inhabitants of the shelter Ixia have had their memories of the day of destruction erased, and live a normal life in ignorant bliss. However, some of them, the “chosen ones,” have become pilots, driving giant robots called “Rogue” and fighting against the aliens. Today, another new pilot is selected…
