Skipped Episodes
Following the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, the anime had been postponed for two weeks because of the provocative nature of the series. The anime's regular timeslots on March 13 and 20 had been replaced with reruns of Yumeiro Patissiere. What was originally to be aired as episode 10 on March 13, 2011 is now episode 13. The episode that was originally to be aired as episode 11 on March 20, 2011 has been postponed indefinitely. The two originally scheduled episodes immediately following these two postponed were aired first.
