The highly anticipated final episodes (11-13) of the “Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle” anime are slated to air and stream in Spring 2026, following earlier production delays that impacted its broadcast schedule. The announcement was made via the anime’s official website and X (formerly Twitter) account.
The romantic comedy series, which premiered in October 2025 as a split two-cour broadcast, experienced an initial postponement of its sixth episode in November 2025.
Understanding the Delay and Revised Schedule
The anime’s production committee cited “production circumstances” and a commitment to “maintain the quality of the content” as reasons for the initial delays. This led to a revised broadcast plan for the latter half of the first cour.
Initial Postponement and December Airing
Episode 6, originally scheduled for November 11, was delayed until December 2, 2025. During the three-week hiatus in November, Japanese television networks aired selected episodes of “Wooser’s Hand-to-Mouth Life” in the anime’s time slot. Following this, episodes 6 through 10 aired weekly throughout December:
- Episode 6: December 2, 2025
- Episode 7: December 9, 2025
- Episode 8: December 16, 2025
- Episode 9: December 23, 2025
- Episode 10: December 30, 2025
Spring 2026 for Episodes 11-13
While episodes 1 through 10 have now aired, the broadcast dates for episodes 11 through 13 remained undetermined for a period. The production committee has now confirmed that these final episodes of the first cour will air and stream in Spring 2026. Further details regarding the exact dates will be announced on the anime’s official platforms.
