Why the hiatus hits at the worst possible time for To Your Eternity Season 3

In terms of the narrative, this break feels to be coming at the worst time. The story is about to come to its finale, and some of the most important questions that have been put in the minds of the viwers is: What is the true goal of the Observer? Can coexistence with the Nokkers truly exist? And what future will Fushi choose after centuries of loss and rebirth? To Your Eternity Episode 16 leaves these tensions unresolved, making the three-week gap feel longer than it actually is.
So, it is but natural that fans reaction towards his hiatus has been loud and emotional. They did not take a lot of time to express their concern about expressing disappointment. There was a part of the fandom that had a simple question as to why the broadcast could not have just changed to a different time slot, rather than taking this extreme step of going on a break. Another part of the fandom commented that they would rather watch To Your Eternity Season 3 than tune into Olympic coverage. While the frustration is understandable, the confirmed return date has helped ease some concerns.
