| Corona forces Japan to suspend the broadcast of the world's longest animated series |
The company that produced the longest animation announced that it had stopped production due to the Corona virus 19 (Covid-19), forcing it to return old episodes for the first time in decades.
The Sazae-san series, released in Japan over the weekend since 1969, revolves around a typical family consisting of Mrs. Sazae, who lives with her parents, husband, son, brother, and sister.
The 30-minute episode that broadcasts every Sunday is so popular that some people in Japan think the show is their weekend.
The Fuji TV host said the animation series included the Guinness book, the longest in the standard animation series, but the virus boycotted the company when it closed production to ensure worker safety. . It has been announced that the series will not air new episodes starting May 17, but will feature old episodes.
And the TV station said on Sunday: The next show will be an episode that has been broadcast in the past two years and will announce the date of the new episode as soon as possible.
It should be noted that since the economic impact of the last oil crisis in 1975, this was the first time that the broadcaster had to broadcast episodes of the series - so far, 2,500 episodes have been broadcast.
