The new version of the classic masterpiece "Sazae-san" animation has been postponed and was originally scheduled to premiere on May 17

The new version of the animation of the classic masterpiece "Sazae-san", which once won the Guinness record for "the longest broadcasting time of TV animation", has been confirmed to be postponed. The official recently stated that the production of the animation has become difficult due to the epidemic. It was originally scheduled to be broadcast on May 17, and the next broadcast date will be notified separately.

Sazae-san is a four-frame comic book published by Japanese female cartoonist Machiko Hasegawa in 1946. It was temporarily suspended twice in 1951 and 1953 due to the author's health problems. The last episode was published on February 21, 1974. In 2013, the animated version of Sazae-san was certified by the Guinness World Records as the "longest broadcast TV animation". It has been adapted into animations, live-action dramas, stage plays and other derivative works many times.

The official said that due to the epidemic, the production of animation has become difficult, and the new broadcast date will be notified after it is determined. The original schedule on May 17 will rebroadcast old works such as "Husband and Wife Should Communicate Heart to Heart".
