Otakorp Inc. announced on Tuesday that Jirō Ishii and Masao Maruyama will no longer be able to attend this year’s Otakon.
Maruyama also sent Otakon a short video apologizing for his absence, and explaining that another producer on the film has been hospitalized.
Ishii is unable to attend due to a medical issue, and Maruyama cancelled due to production commitments on the In This Corner of the World film.
This project was announced two years ago at Otakon in 2014, and had a digital release on August 1.
