Serving as the television anime adaptation of author Hifumi Asakura and illustrator Yamakawa’s original light novel series of the same name, fans are excited to see what the premiere has in store.
Leaks regarding The Daily Life of a Middle-Aged Online Shopper in Another World season 1 are unlikely to come in any capacity prior to its release.

However, this schedule may be altered according to any episode-specific delays that occur.

Per unofficial sources, The Daily Life of a Middle-Aged Online Shopper in Another World season 1 is expected to have a total of 13 episodes. While this information is technically unofficial due to a lack of Blu-ray home video listings on the anime’s official website, the claims come from historically reputable sources.
The anime will premiere on Japanese television on Thursday, January 9, 2025, at 9 pm Japanese Standard Time (JST). Virtually all overseas audiences will also see it released sometime on Thursday, January 9, locally as well.
The expected full release schedule for The Daily Life of a Middle-Aged Online Shopper in Another World season 1, per the Pacific Daylight Time (PDT), Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), and India Standard Time (IST) timings, is as follows:
As aforementioned, the above release schedule is based on unofficial but reliable sources claiming the series has 13 episodes in its first season. A change in expected episode count, as well as any episodic delays, will adjust the schedule accordingly.
In the case of the latter, episode 4 being delayed by a week, for example, will delay episode 5 and each installment thereafter by a week accordingly.
