Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! Delayed to October
Why the Anime is Delayed
Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! was originally scheduled to begin airing in April 2025. However, the latest post on the anime's official X account has stated that the anime adaptation of the fantasy romance series has been delayed to October 2025. The original post was made in Japanese, which translates to,
The TV anime Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! was scheduled to air from April 2025, but due to various circumstances, the broadcast date has been changed to October 2025. We sincerely apologize to everyone who was looking forward to the broadcast. The staff and production committee will do our best to make it a good work, so we would appreciate your patience for a little while longer.
The message was signed by the production company. While no exact reason beyond "various circumstances" has been released, it is likely that the anime is not complete enough to begin airing this spring. Other anime have tried airing incomplete in recent years and had to delay episodes because of it, which puts a strain on those making it along with those watching it. Taking the time to ensure that the anime is ready to be aired seems the smarter move on this team's part.

The Upcoming Fantasy Romance Anime
Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! is a fantasy romance anime based on a light novel series by Kanata Hoshi. The novels were originally published on a self-publishing website in Japan called Shosetsuka ni Narou, beginning in November 2019. Due to the novel's popularity and success, it received a manga adaption starting in March 2021, illustrated by Chika Muzube and published on Kodansha's Palcy website. Kodansha USA has been publishing an English version of Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! since December 2023.
CrunchyRoll (via Kodansha USA) describes the plot of Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! as,
Like any proper noble lady, one must have certain acquired tastes. For Melphiera Marchalrayd, she just happens to crave a rather exotic protein—monsters! But do not judge! Despite its bad reputation, monster meat can be used in exquisite cuisine and Melphiera is determined to change the kingdom’s opinion of it! Unfortunately, since debuting in society, Melphiera has been struggling to find her perfect match…until she meets the fearless “Blood-Mad Duke” of Galbraith!
Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! promises to be a fun, light-hearted fantasy romance when the anime does begin to air. Hopefully, the team will be able to finish it in time for the Fall 2025 season, as they are planning to do. Considering the ongoing pressure on those who work in the anime and manga publishing world, giving the team more time and less pressure in exchange for a better end product may be frustrating for fans who have to wait, but usually results in a much more satisfying end product.
