| Let's hope for another sequel .. 🙄 (most of us love the anime but I doubt I have the time to read the LN) |

| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
Aruhaya said: they can do fucking blue rays but not a season 2 ? Well yeah, that's simply not comparable... Doing new Blu-rays doesn't cost nearly as much as the production of even a single episode. Aruhaya said: Keeping in mind the reason they gave were "We don't think we will be able to reach the quality and art style of season 1" . That's a very valid reason. Producers are investing money in the project. If the project flop because it doesn't hold its ground against the previous installment, they'll lose money. A successful adaptation boost the sales of the source material, but in the opposite, a bad one might not do any good, and can even easily damage them. With, on top of that, the Light Novels nearing their end, there is absolutely no need for Kadokawa to risk anything... In the end, Animes are merely complementary products, they are not a replacement. If you want the continuation, you have the Light Novels available. |

| Funny thing about this that if by some chance, there would be a second season, I wouldn't watch it. 10 years is too long time and I loose my interest in series quite quickly if it's not continuing fast enough. The series was mediocre for me so would not have watched a new season anyways. But I hope you'll get what you want. |

Alexioos95 said: Producers are investing money in the project NGNL figurines sell for 10-20 times more than regular and they sell even ten years later like there's no tomorrow. Making S2 as good as S1 was for sure won't be cheap. But, if done well, it will pay for itself. No, really, NGNL figurines sell for $300-500 while most others can't sell even for $30. Even dalkimakuras sell for $150-200, which is insane. They are making tons of money even 10 years after release. |

They are making tons of money even 10 years after release. That's one more reason to actually not to a 2nd Season. What you are talking about is merchandising, and the producers of an Anime Season are not all the same as the ones for the merchandising. For the ones who are not profiting from the merchandising (like AT-X), they win no money, but have to invest some in a Season, and see if it works... but if it does not ? They'll lose a lot of money, that's not really a risk worth taking for them (which is probably why we got new Blu-rays, so that they can still get a return from it). As for those who are the same (like Kadokawa), if without touching the Anime you sell that much of merchandising on top of the Novels, why would you risk to ruin the popularity of your whole brand by making a 2nd Season potentially not at the level ? Edit : That's what happened with Star Wars and the latest trilogy... and the sales of the merchandising crumbled at around 60% of what they were with no Movies for 15+ years. Even if the 2nd Season is as good or even better than the 1st, nothing is guaranteeing that it'll actually sell. That's a risk, and Kadokawa is in a position where they absolutely do not need it to make money, which is their prime goal. |

| @Alexioos95 Just because another company makes figurines doesn't mean that they keep all the money. They have to pay for the right to make and sell these figurines. Same goes for making series, it's not the studio nor the television who decides what anime to make, it's the rights holder and it is the same entity that gets all the fees and royalties for making figurines. There sure is a huge risk to ruin this gold mine by making something bad, but there are lots of positive examples when another season was made ten years later. To be honest, it wasn't even in the neighboring universe of quality and fun as NGNL, but the principle is clear: you have to make something that is at least as good. Sure making something as good as S1 won't be cheap. But my point is that it is clear that it's the right thing to do. Bonus point is that it's a great risk anyways and we'll have to wait for the merch sales to stall before this happens. So probably another twenty or thirty years, sadly. What happened with the star wars was just one more indicator that executives at disney studios are complete utter morons who can't even count. It was clear as a day that they can't do anything right and they just confirmed that one more time. No, making something better while already being popular is the guarantee that it will sell. This is why continuations and remakes are in such abundance and this is why rights for this stuff are selling as well as they do. Every single time anyone does any part two that meets or exceeds expectations of a successful part one, they make a lot of money. This is, sadly, often a factor why executives decide to make part ones as cheap as possible. |
