Production delays happen, so it's better to wait for quality—rushing the final episodes would compromise the series' conclusion. Spring 2026 for the finale is disappointing but understandable; giving the studio time ensures proper production values. At least we got episode 10 before the break—having a stopping point rather than mid-arc helps viewers wait. Waiting for final episodes maintains interest; the gap creates anticipation for how Chitose's story resolves.

Following a delay announcement that shifted the schedule for episodes 6 and beyond of the Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle anime, broadcast plans are now in place for the remaining installments. Episodes 11-13 will now broadcast in spring 2026, with further details to follow once specific dates have been determined.

The first batch of rescheduled episodes concluded their run today with the December 30 broadcast of episode 10.
