It's not the summer heat getting to you; anime releases have been a little slow this week, and that’s down to some major scheduling issues on streamer Crunchyroll's end.

Crunchyroll has been uploading episodes of certain anime series hours late, or even up to a day later than their usual weekly release time, as found by Anime News Network. The reason for the delay is unknown, as Crunchyroll has yet to give a reason as to why certain shows are being put out later than usual.

That’s not all, as the issue seems to be affecting translated episodes too. Some of the shows had English-dubbed versions of new episodes uploaded earlier than the subtitled versions. This seems to be a Crunchyroll issue, as the same episodes with English subtitles were uploaded to the Crunchyroll channel on Prime Video just fine, while the same episodes were nowhere to be seen on the Crunchyroll website or app.
