COVID-19 is messing up with a lot of anime schedules this season, including the supposed premiere of the second half of anime series No Guns Life. The official website of the series has announced this Tuesday that they are delaying the premiere of the series’ last 12 episodes due to the current COVID-19 outbreak. No new broadcast date has been announced.

The second half of the 24-episode series was supposed to premiere this April 9.

No Guns Life is the TV anime adaptation of Tasuku Karasuma’s manga series of the same name. It aired in Japan last October 2019. Funimation is streamed the anime in English subtitles as it aired in Japan and released an English dub of the series on October 24.

Studio Madhouse (Boogiepop and Others, Overlord) is producing the anime under the direction of Naoyuki Itou (all three seasons of Overlord, Kimi no Koe o Todoketai). Scripts are overseen by Yukie Sugiwara (all three seasons of Overlord, Kino’s Journey – The Beautiful World) with Masanori Shino (Black Lagoon, Gungrave) in charge of character design. Kenji Kawai (Ghost in the Shell) is composing the series’ music.

The cast is headed by Junichi Suwabe (Viktor Nikoforov from Yuri!!! On Ice) as lead character Juzo Inui. Other cast members include Daiki Yamashita (Izuku MIdoriya in My Hero Academia), Manami Numakura (Rio Nakamura from Assassination Classroom), and Inori Minase (Rem from Re:ZERO), among others.

No Guns Life is a manga series written by Tasuku Karasuma. It was first published as a one-shot manga but was then picked up and consequently serialized in Shueisha’s Ultra Jump magazine in August 2014 up to present. Viz Media holds the license for the manga’s North American release, with the manga’s English-version release set to start releasing this fall.

Viz describes the manga’s story as such:

“With no memory of his previous life—or who replaced his head with a giant gun—Juzo Inui now scratches out a living in the dark streets of the city as a Resolver.”
