NHK let fans know about a possible delay back in mid-July, which also included the children's series Butt Detective, Nintama Rantaro, and Uchuu Nanchara Kotetsu-kun, all of which air on NHK-E, but confirmed the Paralympic postponement after it was certain the games would go ahead.
Both Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun and Love Live! Superstar!! stream on Crunchyroll after their Japanese TV broadcast.
