Last month we got the news that since Toei Animation they had been victims of a hack that had put the company’s servers in check. In addition to the subsequent investigation and leaving the studio’s services unusable for a few days, several animation series went on hiatus indefinitely.
Luckily, it seems that the incident has not been so terrible and it has been possible to recover the rhythm of production, with which there is already a release date for the new chapters of ‘One Piece’ and other series that were paused at the moment.
Return in April for ‘One Piece’… but no news of ‘Dragon Ball’
The Toei hack turned the anime grid upside down, as the attack would have caused many studio files to end up corrupted or even completely deleted. It is still not very clear if certain sequences have finally had to be re-animated or have been able to be recovered, but what we do know is that the anime studio has confirmed when will your series return from hiatus.
‘One Piece‘ will premiere its chapter 1014 next April 17th after a six week break. Also returning that same day ‘Delicious Party Precure’, and ‘Digimon: Ghost Game’.
Also comes out of the hiatus ‘Dragon Quest: Dai’s Adventure’ on April 16 with the broadcast of its 73rd chapter. The end of the hiatus had already been anticipated with Crunchyroll’s announcement about the series that would be simulcast for its spring season, but we finally have specific dates for these new episodes.
Meanwhile, what we still have no updates on is ‘Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero’, since the premiere of the new ‘Dragon Ball Super’ movie has also been postponed until further notice after the hack to Toei Animation.
There are rumors that the announcement of a new date could be close, so for now all we can do is cross our fingers that it doesn’t get too hard.
