According to Sneaker Bunko, the release of Dantalian no Shoka OVA was canceled. It was supposed to be bundled with the ninth volume of the original novel, but the release of the novel itself was also canceled. Kadokawa didn't reveal the reason of the cancellation.

Updated
The novel author Mikumo Gakuto explained the reason of the cancellation is that there was a disagreement about the continuation of the novel series. The author and the editors had once reached an agreement to conclude the series by the eighth volume, but the editors suddenly asked the author to elongate the series to this Spring with nine volumes. The author turned down the proposal and the ninth volume was officially canceled. Mikumo said there has been no antagonism between Sneaker Bunko and him and that the OVA had nothing to do with the cancellation of the novel.

Do novels get OAV, too? Is that not a lot of work and pressure, considering the new character designs and artwork? What is this novel's story about, anyway? I have never heard of it. (Then again, I do not really read novels, so . . .)

Nope. It won't be that. If you read the OP, the novel it was going to be bundled with was cancelled too, and novels are exempt from that particular law.

Plagiarism and author related problems (illnesses, suddenly quitting out of the blue) are far more likely reasons for the cancellation, in this case, anyway.

The law is vague enough that it can still effect things like that if they want to.

That, and if it's him, he would try to find/create any loophole he wants.

The Japanese aren't quite like they are anywhere else, after all "you are always guilty even when you aren't over there. So Apologize because I said so." Is kinda a theme...

But is Dantalian no Shoka even all that ecchi?

If it was Ishihara's doing, then why would he pick Dantalian no Shoka over R-15 (the one about the underage porn novelist) or Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi (the one which was had its trailer removed from Youtube due to panty shot overdose and naked loli vampires)?

Ishihara didn't do this otherwise Baby Princess would have been cancelled as well due to incest and toddlercon. Besides novels exempt from the ordinance, I wonder if Plagiarism or a dispute caused the novel to end abruptly, talk about being screwed by both the studio and the publisher.

I'd bet nothing. Because there's absolutely nothing about Dantalian that would flag it for application of the laws. The law is awful but people need to stop acting like it's the source of everything bad that ever happens to anime/manga. The update to the OP confirms it had nothing to do with that.

Anyway, a shame. I'm finding Dantalian to be one of the best shows of Summer, and absolutely love the interplay between Huey and Dalian. Ono D and Sawashiro Miyuki (playing a role she doesn't get too often), yes please. I'd love to import it, if there wasn't so much competition this season already. A shame... it's good enough for it.


I would too but Idolm@ster is the absolute must buy this season (not counting Ro-Kyu-Bu or Ikoku Meiro no Croisee due to those two being licensed by Sentai and I just pick those up later)

Yeah, I'm already going to be importing four Summer shows, which is quite enough. In order of importance: Yuru Yuri, Usagi Drop, Natsume San, Idolmaster. Dantalian is riiight on the cusp... the only chance it has is if one of the others falls apart, but since three of the four are one cour I doubt I'm going to change my mind at this point (plus I already ordered them). I guess Idolmaster could still take a turn for the worse, but after the first few okayish episodes it has been nothing but perfect since, like, ep 4 or 5. I don't foresee anything terrible happening to it.

I want to try to avoid importing 5 this season because I already am doing that for Spring (and two are 2 cour), and had 4 in Winter, and fall is going to be killer too... argh. I'd probably jump on it if it were as cheap as Usagi or Natsume, though.


On Idolm@ster are just getting vol 1 as BD/DVD or the LE of the game with everything?

Fall for me will be a break, only planning to watching 6 or 7 of the available anime.

So, there is an anime version of this? A mysterious girl in a library? Now it is starting to make sense. *Laughs* "Loli detective shows."

Well the problem with Kujo was he was the Watson to her Sherlock.

The problem was Watson was actually a genius doctor.

That and he was the brawn to her brain.
He shows he's capable in terms of endurance and skill, but he jobbed to people with more experience.
It's not like he's incapable, but he's far from top tier.

Meanwhile Hugh has an adult stature and a capable brain.

While you're talking about Gosick I thought of something I don't quite understand. Even though the light novel won't be released, there could still be an OVA, right? They could just add it to the blurays or DVD's and there's no problem at all.

If they so wished, they could release stand alone OVAs not packaged with the novel.

It could but what they lose is incentive. The point of releasing an OAD with a manga or novel is to greatly boost the print volume's sales. If that print volume doesn't exist, it doesn't gain them much. The Dantalian anime is unfortunately looking to be one of the lowest selling of the season, so animating another episode for that when it's only going to sell to maybe two thousand hardcore fans per volume regardless is perhaps not worth the cost.


I wonder why but with Idolm@ster and Utapri on the loom I can see why it doesn't sell even though most sales of vol 1 of Idolm@ster will be game sales like you stated before, but Vol 2 will outsell it by miles. The least preordered title is Nekogami (what a shame, it's actually refreshing)and Itsuka Tenma is second.

Idolm@ster is making the otaku save up of course the fact that 2nd vols and up cost 9980 yen ($130) a volume pretty much is proof and the game bundle is over $300. It's killing some of the good titles in the process.
