Why Anime Broadcasts Get Delayed
For beginner anime fans, broadcast delays are not uncommon. In many cases, delays happen due to:
- Animation quality adjustments
- Scheduling conflicts with TV networks
- Staff workload management
- Ensuring consistency across episodes
In recent years, studios have increasingly chosen to delay releases rather than compromise on animation or storytelling quality. This announcement suggests that the production committee is prioritizing long-term quality over rushing the release.
Story Overview (Beginner-Friendly Explanation)
The story follows Fierr, a young girl who dreams of becoming a knight despite being told she lacks natural talent with the sword. Just as she is pushed to the brink of death, she suddenly regains memories of her previous life—where she was once known as a “Great Saint”, a legendary figure blessed with overwhelming, almost cheat-like powers.
A Dark Past Life
Three hundred years ago, Fierr lived as a Great Saint who fought alongside knights to protect humanity. However, her life ended tragically when she was brutally killed by the Demon King’s right-hand man.
As her memories return, so do her saintly powers. But along with them comes a terrifying warning from her past life:
“If you are reborn as a saint, I will kill you again.”
A Saint Who Chooses to Hide
Determined to survive this time, Fierr decides to hide her true identity and live quietly as an ordinary knight. However, her kind heart makes this extremely difficult. Whenever someone is injured or in danger, she instinctively uses her saintly powers to help them—risking exposure each time.
This creates constant tension:
- Can she truly live as a normal knight?
- How long can she hide her saintly abilities?
- Will the Demon King’s forces discover her rebirth?
The series blends fantasy action, reincarnation, and secret identity drama, making it appealing to fans of isekai-style stories with a strong female lead.
