Season 3?

There will be a season 3, the question is when. The first two seasons have covered the first 8 Light Novels, which catching us up to what is published. At 4 novels a cour, and 2 novels published a year, it would be at least 2.5 years before a season 3 (2 years for the books, some time for production). That is a LONG time between seasons. They may go the ova route with side stories as a bridge, or they may do a reboot in the future.

i am not too knowledgeable about light novels, but i feel like the author should put out volumes a little faster. they can't expect us to wait 2-3 years for another season.

I voted yes, mostly for I'm guessing/hoping for a season 3.

There was clearly a lack in a final end to the story. So I'm hoping it doesn't go way of School Rumble where it just ends :(

I guess they're going to sell Blue-rays to see how the production goes, i hope they dont decide just to make a 3 episode ova that sums up Yozora's route and ends it... That would suck :<

at the end of the episode it went to the End then it changed to next, so im gonna pretty much guarantee a 3rd season based off that + plot-holes in the finale that need to be filled.

It looks like there will be another season to me because episode 12 didn't really feel like a finale

Duma said:
IMO. There will be s3 for sure, minimum 1year of wait.
I dont think Kodaka wanted to accept Sena's confession. For me it looked more like he wanted to stay friends but then all of them got the mail from Yozora saying to not look for her. But all of them probably thought about the opposite, they will look for her in s3.
Thats just my guess

The series is apparently only 1/3 done according to the author.

it's also been said that the author was sick or something and so volume 9 was delayed.

90% sure there will be season 3 by 2014 or 2015 (hopefully the former)

also with a live-action film planned to be released sometime this year or next (?), there's much more to come for Haganai.


hoping the series ends with Kodaka x Sena though

Where'd you get that info? That according to the author the series is 1/3 done?

a live-action movie? Are you talking about a movie about Hanagai or a movie that the studious that did/are doing Hanagai are currently working for that has nothing to do with Hanagai itself?

Also, most of you, if not all mentioned, either a possible 3 season or OVA's but why aren't you guys considering a movie, K-ON style?

Yozora said she's on a journey now, that, for me, hints at a big adventure of getting her back to be the Neighbours club president. A plot for a movie to end it all?

Also the fact that Sena already confessed her love to Kodoka.. how'd they going to keep a series when this is out there? Will Sena say that she was only lying for such and such reason (of course we all know she wasn't lying) so we can continue with the N. Club activities like nothing happened?

Anyways, I'm happy that this season ended with at least Rika and Konoka realizing AND saying that they're friends. From episode 1 it was pretty obvious that they all would become great friends but no-one would say it/realize it. I was pretty tense that they didn't even consider themselfes as friend. Luckily we have Rika, she's great.

im pretty sure that they will have a season 3 because they ended season with yozora going on a "mysterious journey" and kodaka meeting the girls from the student council. why introduce this if its really going to end with a few ovas? i really hope they make season 3 soon because it was really cool seeing the club treating each other as friends instead of just clubmates

I would like a 3rd season, but it is an anime so I say that depends solely on sales. The blurays for NEXT have been delayed twice I think (maybe more) so the final volume doesn't even come out until December I believe. I think that might hurt sales, but maybe it would improve them perhaps it is even a delay because of some sort of ova in the works? Volume 9 come out this month I think.

Let's not forget there was a 2 year or so delay between the first and second seasons. It hasn't even been a year and there hasn't been a new volume released until hopefully this month. I also read they were having issues with Buriki (original illustrator) doing the jacket art. I don't know what that was about. I don't know what all he has on his plate, but they haven't done a volume of the light novel in a while and I don't know how many pictures are really in it so I wouldn't think he was that busy.

And someone asked about the movie. I read there is a live action movie in the works. There was a casting call posted at an university for it. It would be distributed by Toei and produced by Times-in I think. Hirasaka (LN writer) said no because the story wasn't intended for live action (which personally couldn't agree with more), but he changed his mind due to the "crisis in the light novel industry". Which in my kind of English boils down to money if you ask me. Though he will have a completely hands off role. That may bode well for a 3rd season though. If he would agree to a live action despite being against it. I would think that means his wallet is getting thin. I guess it could be to drum up interest in the LN, but I think that would be more harmful than good especially if it's horrible like other live action adaptions. Besides I would assume a movie would bring more business to the anime or even mange rather than the LN. Though it maybe different in Japan either way I guess some of it always goes into his pocket. I got most of the details of Wikipedia so take it with a grain of salt. But I have read about the casting calls from several sources though with movies that is subject to change on a whim.
