The TV anime "Dahlia in Bloom" is set to begin airing on MBS and other networks from July 6. Along with this announcement, the second key visual and PV have been released. There were reports that a North Korean production company was suspected to be involved in the production of the anime. The official statement noted that "the possibility of involvement cannot be denied," so the affected parts were re-produced domestically. The anime will air as scheduled in July.

Regarding the reports of suspected involvement by a North Korean production company, the official statement on June 7 explained, "As a result of investigating the staff involved in the production, it was discovered that some work was subcontracted from Typhoon Graphics, which received the production commission from the production committee, to a Japanese production company, then to a Chinese production company, and further to another Chinese production company."

The statement continued, "When we requested the submission of a staff list from all subcontractors to identify the staff involved in each episode, one company did not comply. Therefore, it was determined that the possibility of involvement of a North Korean production company in this work could not be denied, and the affected parts were re-produced by domestic staff for broadcast. We will strive to ensure proper production processes, including for subcontractors, in future anime production."
