Let Me Fix You, the recent anime adaptation of the popular manga, has been officially delayed following a series of serious grooming allegations against Federico Antonio Russo, the co‑founder of Buta Productions. The studio released a statement on its official account, confirming that the staff had no prior knowledge of Russo’s alleged misconduct.

The delay, announced on March 12th, comes after a short account on the anime’s official Twitter page revealed that the production team was unaware of any wrongdoing. Fans of the series were left stunned as the show, which had been slated to premiere on April 7th, is now postponed indefinitely.

Industry insiders say the decision was made to protect the integrity of the series and its creative team. “We are committed to ensuring a safe and respectful working environment,” a spokesperson for Buta Productions said. “The allegations are being taken very seriously, and we have taken immediate steps to investigate.”

Federico Antonio Russo, a veteran producer known for his work on several high‑profile projects, has faced accusations of grooming and inappropriate behavior towards junior staff members. The allegations were first reported by a former employee who claimed that Russo had repeatedly requested personal favors in exchange for career advancement.

In response, the studio’s management team stated that they had no knowledge of Russo’s actions prior to the allegations. They also announced that they would be conducting a thorough internal review and would cooperate fully with any external investigations.

Fans of the anime have expressed mixed reactions on social media. While some are disappointed by the delay, others have taken the opportunity to call for greater transparency and accountability within the anime industry. “This is a wake‑up call for the entire sector,” said a popular anime blogger on Reddit. “We need stricter safeguards to protect young talent.”

As for the future of Let Me Fix You, the studio has not yet provided a new release date. However, it has pledged to keep the community updated through its official channels and to resume production once the investigation is complete.

Industry analysts predict that the delay could have ripple effects on related merchandise, streaming contracts, and fan events scheduled for the original release window. The anime community remains on edge, hoping for a swift resolution and a return to the storyline that has captured the hearts of many.
