Orient and many other winter 2022 anime series have been discontinued in Japan due to the earthquake

Yesterday, a magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck off the coast of Fukushima Prefecture, northern Japan at 11:36 a.m. (10:36 a.m. local time). Fukushima and Miyagi (the prefectures closest to the earthquake’s epicenter) have issued a one-meter tsunami warning so people can avoid it.

Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), which includes Tokyo and surrounding prefectures, is currently verifying whether there are any new abnormalities at the Fukushima nuclear power plants. However, TEPCO reports about 2.1 million customers lost power in Tokyo and eight surrounding prefectures. At least 154,000 customers lost power in northern Japan.

Anime Orient episode 11 was also stopped due to the earthquake

It is this that leads to the Tokyo MX channel stopping broadcasting anime of winter 2022 such as In the Land of Leadale, Love of Kill and Tokyo 24th Ward on his channel, which instead includes new information about earthquakes. Anime Orient episode 11 has also been stopped broadcasting and there is no information on when the aforementioned anime will resume broadcasting.

Love of Kill also stopped broadcasting due to earthquake

The unit responsible for broadcasting the Orient anime, Crunchyroll, also sent an apology to the Japanese audience with the following content: “Due to the earthquake in Japan, episode 11 of Orient could not be broadcast as scheduled. We thank you and ask for your understanding.”

Information about the earthquake not only caused concern to the Japanese people, but also received strong attention from friends around the world, especially anime fans. This 7.3 magnitude earthquake reminds many people of the “super-earthquake” Tohoku that took place in 2011.

With a magnitude of 9.1, Totoku is considered the largest earthquake and tsunami in Japanese history, causing extremely serious consequences for the country surrounded by this volcano. At that time, many anime projects had to be halted and Japan for a long time saw heartbreaking numbers every day.
