Episode 11 of _Kekkai Sensen_ aired on 20 June 2015. One would expect episode
12 (the last episode) to have aired a week later, on 27 June 2015. That... did
not happen.

At present (17 Aug 2015), the last episode _still_ hasn't aired. This is
hugely abnormal - the last time I recall a delay of this magnitude this
happening was when the Tohoku earthquake hit back in March 2011 and delayed
the last few episodes of a number of winter 2011 shows.

Why is episode 12 over a month delayed?

Why is episode 12 of Kekkai Sensen severely delayed?


The current [reason](http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1400347) listed on
the show's
[website](http://web.archive.org/web/20150911034920/http://kekkaisensen.com/news/index.html)
(link in Japanese) is that the final episode is planned to be longer than the
30 minute time slot it was originally allotted. The production committee has
postponed the airing of the 12th episode until further notice (perhaps as they
attempt to secure a longer time slot), when its Twitter and official pages
will be updated with the decided date.
