One of Crunchyroll’s New Fall 2025 Anime Releases Hit With Massive Delay Ahead of Premiere

The Fall 2025 anime schedule is fast approaching, and unfortunately one of the new shows previously scheduled to release with Crunchyroll later this year has been hit with a massive delay ahead of its premiere. As the Summer 2025 anime shows begin to wrap up their respective runs with their final episodes now airing through the next couple of weeks, it’s time to look ahead to a new batch of anime airing this October. But there’s one Fantasy anime series that unfortunately won’t be making its debut just yet as it has been hit with a huge delay before it was set to air.

The TV anime adaptation for Yu Shimizu and Makoto Aogiri’s Otherworldly Munchkin: Let’s Speedrun the Dungeon with Only 1 HP was originally scheduled to premiere sometime in October, but the official social media account for the anime has now revealed that it has been delayed to an undetermined date in the future. While a new release window or date has not been announced for the series at this time, the anime has been delayed to “further enhance its quality” for its eventual debut.

Otherworldly Munchkin Anime Delayed From Fall 2025 Premiere

Otherworldly Munchkin: Let’s Speedrun the Dungeon with Only 1 HP has been delayed from its planned October 2025 premiere to sometime in the future, but Crunchyroll will still be streaming the new episodes alongside their release in Japan for fans North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Oceania, Middle East, North Africa and India. The staff will be revealing the new release plans as soon as they are set, so fans looking forward to this one should keep an eye out for what could be coming our way in the near future. But at least it seems to be a delay to get the best version of the anime possible.

The team’s message about Otherworldly Munchkin: Let’s Speedrun the Dungeon with Only 1 HP‘s delay reads as such, “The broadcast of the TV anime ‘Otherworldly Munchkin: Let’s Speedrun the Dungeon with Only 1 HP!,’ originally scheduled to begin airing in October 2025, has been postponed to further enhance its quality. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and concern this may cause to all those who have been eagerly awaiting the broadcast.” Which sounds like what fans want to hear as the show will have its best chance at success yet.

What’s Next for Crunchyroll This Fall?

Crunchyroll has yet to fully reveal what their planned slate of anime releases for the Fall 2025 anime schedule entail, but there are many previously confirmed shows that will be making their return or debut. Blockbuster franchises like My Hero Academia FINAL Season and Spy x Family Season 3 will be releasing their episodes with Crunchyroll, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what has been confirmed to stream this Fall. Not to mention many of the new licenses that Crunchyroll has acquired for the Fall as well.

New shows such as Pass the Monster Meat, Milady!, SI-VIS: The Sound of Heroes, The Banished Court Magician Aims to Become the Strongest, and A Gatherer’s Adventure In Isekai have been previously confirmed to be coming to Crunchyroll this Fall, but there are still likely many shows that have yet to be fully revealed as of this time.
