‘Teppen–!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’ To Have a Fundraiser Produced Episode

“Teppen–!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Laughing ’til You Cry” came as an anime with loads of potential and a unique concept. Even with such a unique concept, the show had to cancel its second episode due to a controversial plot.

Following Japan’s former Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe’s death on July 8, the franchise had to drop its second episode. It had an assassination-themed story and couldn’t be aired due to Abe’s cause of demise.

After re-releasing its first episode, scraping off its second, and going straight to the third, the franchise has decided on something special.

At a recent event for the “Teppen–!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Laughing ’til You Cry” anime, the franchise has revealed its plans for a special episode.

Although the details about it aren’t concrete yet, the franchise has said that the episode will be funded through Minamishimabara City’s hometown tax. The city has already begun the program for the fundraiser and aims to raise 50 million yen (approx. US$365,000).

Minamishimabara wants to utilize the hometown tax donations, and if they reach their goal, then a special episode will be set in the city. If enough money is raised, the city might even help produce more anime episodes.

Coming to the canceled episode 2, the franchise shared its rescheduling details with a key visual. The episode will air on September 10, 2022.

Considering how unlucky the franchise has been in the timing criteria while debuting the anime, this seems like a great comeback.

I hope the story doesn’t clash with another unexpected and unfortunate event in the country this time.
