Love Live Superstar Season 2 Episode 8: Delayed!

Can There Will Be Slotting Issues?
A lack of show slots has been caused by COVID and other pandemic delays, as seen in the cases of numerous shows. The screening of anime on Japanese television networks is a tightly packed event. If a slot is already flooded by anime series, there is almost no room for change. As a result, each delay in a release causes a change in the overall timetable. 86 Eighty-Six Season 2 ended up losing all of its TV slots.
However, as of this writing, no such information has been found in the public domain. Furthermore, there haven’t been many such delays throughout the show. As a result, fans no longer need to be concerned about this matter. If that occurs, we will make certain to update this section with relevant information.

As a result, Love Live Superstar Season 2 Episode 8 has been moved ahead to September 11, 2022. All episodes of the anime will be available only on Crunchyroll’s official sites.
