With the Tokyo Olympics kicking off, we can expect a lot of TV anime to be making way for the broadcast across various networks in Japan. One of them is Shaman King, which is taking a two week break during the event. While quite a few NHK shows have already announced postponements, this is the first TV Tokyo anime to do so.
The official Twitter account announced plans to move episode 18 back a couple weeks, from its original July 29 air date to August 12. Episode 19 will follow on August 19, so everything is just going to be a little behind schedule moving forward.
【放送休止のお知らせ】
7月29日、8月5日の「SHAMAN KING」は、オリンピック中継に伴う特別編成のため放送休止予定となります。第18廻：7月29日→8月12日
第19廻：8月5日→8月19日
の予定となります。
※変更の場合があります。楽しみにしていただいている皆様、申し訳ございません。#SHAMANKING

The new anime adaptation of Hiroyuki Takei’s Shaman King manga premiered in Japan back in April. Fans outside of Japan are about to be treated to it, as well, because the Netflix debut is set for August 9.
