Well I was browsing through net to search for discussions on this question. Some discussions say that probably not soon. Some say this is a Josei genre getting an anime for this genre itself is kinda rare.

Currently this season has got only 3 episodes left. And as all might have already understood by now this show is far from over yet. There are so many things left still- Chihaya's journey to become the queen, Tichi making it Class A and competing with Arata, Arata's matcheswith other Class A players are also to be seen, the love between Chihaya, Taichi and Arata, Oe, Komano and Nishida's tactical plays and their groth as Karuta Players, More team tournaments..... I just hope there will be a second season of Chihayafuru and soon so that the continuation of this awesome anime can be maintained.

What are your opinions?

I hope so but given its poor financial performance I wouldn't be surprised were it just abandoned.
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

I hope for a second season too but the possibilities for another season depends on how successful the anime is doing in Japan.

Not enough moe; not gonna happen.
I think we all knew nothing was going to be wrapped up in 24 episodes though. It's kind of like Koshien and baseball anime - They never get there until their final year of school.

I am sure it will not not get 2 season and not in 2012! but the story is going to end now without Chihayafuru being queen .

This anime serves to boost the sales of Chihayafuru manga. As long as the manga is still ongoing, there could be as many seasons of the anime as needed to promote it.

That's if they consider it needs any more promotion besides just a single season, of course.

So it could have like, 3 more seasons. Or 10. Or none.

Whether or not we get a second series depends on one of these two factors:
1. Has the anime increase the manga sales significantly enough
2. Does the Blu-rays of the series sell well enough to warrant a second season.

I believe the answer to both is a no, so the chance of getting a second season is very small. ;\

I don't agree.

Recently, Chihayafuru was one of the few Josei to be animated that had a bit of popularity then I think there are still good possibility for a second season.

I pretty much doubt it :(

plus it has had terrible sales. Not like other josei's but still bad. But, hey, if the anime did well enough as an advertisement for the manga, then it might get a 2nd season. I'm looking at you Bakuman

I wish it would get a season 2! It freakin' DESERVES IT! (Unlike alot of stupid shows that got a season 2. >_>)

Chihaya is AMAZING!

And I want to see Chihaya make it to Queen! >:D
( And if she doesn't end up with Arata or Taichi in the end of season 1, we HAVE to have a season 2 so we will know if she does go out with one of them! >_<)

Hmm, as someone who loves both Chihayafuru and Yuru Yuri, I'm quite puzzled. Yuru Yuri had around 8-9k sales per volume. Chihayafuru has 2-3k. So yes, shows that pander do well. Surely you aren't forgetting that UtaPri is getting a 2nd season as well?

as one of those who helped YuruYuri to get second season in one possible way: buying it
I find this thread a bit weird... you want it to get second season, help in it.
How else they would do it? By reading some forum :D come on... they are sometimes dumb but there are limits to it.

you know all the people dont have the resources or the money to buy expensive stuff but still want to watch good things that are around. I think the internet with free stuff all around helps for them in some manner.
Plus this thread was opened just to know what the predictions of the people here are. People here have been watching anime since many years (atleast from what i have seen they have watched more than i have) So I dont get what's weird in asking?

there is nothing weird in asking - I was simply refering to that quote
YuruYuri sold well, this one not.
YY will get second season, this will not - unless they are doing to boost manga sales than maybe.
and no saying that this was amazing series will change this - BTW and I admit it was nice if you cut parts with Arata.

You know, the whole "no money" thing doesn't really change anything. Unless people buy the volumes (both DVD and manga), the producers won't see any value in investing in a second season. If you truly want a second season, the answer is to support the series financially and show the people in charge that there is demand.

Considering how the Japanese were the ones who produced Chihayafuru, it's quite rude and inconsiderate of you to insult them by calling them all "retards and virgins." By saying that, you're also insulting Yuki Suetsugu herself.

Well, I really don't think that those who aren't bying the manga or the DVDs have any right to complain. I'm one of the ones who are penniles, I don't have enough money to buy myself a lollipop, what to talk about a DVD, but a good chunk of non-Japanese Chihayafuru watchers DO have money, they are just too stingy to spend it :/

So, yeah... I don't think we have the right to complain. Those who have bought the DVDs can, but everybody else...

How much would you pay for a second season? Maybe if enough people gather and make a kickstarter for it, they will consider a second season. I know it sounds impossible but I just want to know your answers. For an example I would be willing to pay 250 dollars if i knew that is the only way to get chihayafuru until the very end but thats me and thats not much for me if im gonna get a 25+ more episodes.

If we assume one episode costs around 130.000 dollars than they would probably want a kickstarter as much as 4-5 episodes worth. That is clearly impossible and people wouldnt give it without any physical return ^^.

I call your 250 dollars and raise another 250.

I really wonder what is needed to persuade the makers into making a second season. I'm not much of a (manga) reader and I don't really buy stuff like anime/movies/tvseries, because I am not interested in having a box with a bunch of CD-roms and whatnot. I tend to watch shows only once and especially don't care for the shipping costs, marketing and tax, etc.

Will be a shame if this series will not have a second season!

I mean, removing the sales part and other things, this series has had great success with the public overall, at least in Occident, and in Japan the manga sales has reached the top place!

95% of the people here have enjoyed Chihayafuru. Well I can say not bad for a Josei anime.
