So is there any future for this anime at this point in time or is it set in stone that there will be no season2?
There is not enough material for season 2 anyway, regardless of controversy or not, so you are posting in the wrong thread anyway.

Actually you are wrong. There were only 4 of the light novels covered and there are nine soon to be ten that are out. There is plenty of material there.

A bit later on but...

No publicity is bad publicity!

If this kid can't take a joke, then he's gonna kill himself if the critics don't like him.

Anyhow, I expect it's all forgotten now, and frankly who gives a shit?

The series ended. It got a extra 4 episodes. What really hurt them was the manager of the artist that did the first opening. They had to change it because of that. Still a bad joke but still loved the series. This was the first big anime these three had done in a while and it got to their heads. No excuse but they got penalized and as I always say "karma and Murphy will come to bite you in the ass later".

I'm so pissed off right now. I loved the series. If the staff had been a lil bit more mature, maybe we would've gotten a 2nd season, specially considering that there's more than enough material for it... instead, they had to screw everything up.

SIGH.

Bullying happens all the time, sad that there was a huge uproar over this even though it gets ignored every other time.

I just read about this here: http://wakarimasenlol.com/2012/09/04/the-kokoro-connect-bullying-incident/

Well from what I can tell, people still love the anime but just not the VA's and the studio.

A smart studio right now could take advantage of this and ask the author for the rights to animate a second season. They would get the support of the fanbase who are pissed off at the original studio for the pranks and people won't complain about the change in new VAs.

Also, maybe its because I've been dehumanized but it didn't seem to bad. It seems more like the media has blown it out of proportion. While the prank was quite stupid, I don't think it was that big of a deal because first of all, it said he was trying out for a minor role anyway. Instead, he ended up being the head of PR, which it seems like they were making him originally.

I would believe being the head of PR looks better on your resume than being a VA for a minor character. Plus in an article someone posted earlier, the "victim" himself said that the media was misconstruing the information to make it look worse than it actually is.

But this is all just my perspective.

The heck?! now, it all makes sense. i just finished watching the whole thing (17 episodes, including 4 special episodes), wondering why they just stopped the show there. it was going very well. you know, the plot was totally intersting, sound tracks were really good, and all these made me to think about adding it to my top 10 animes, so why they just stopped producing such an awesome work. it was weird seeing an end in episode 13, and right after it, seeing a next episode title. usually, they don't stop a show at episode 17. it's always like sth 12 or 13 episodes long or 24 eps. beside it all, there were much remained story to be told in light novel, so i was deeply wondering why; and totally hoping they would make a second season for it.

Now i'm seeing this whole thing, the joke cast made and the immature act they did. alright, i do care for the poor guy (eventhough i think, after this long time, even he must have forgotten about it, or at least stopped being upset over it), but why shoud they blame the show for it?

Seems like everything got discussed already, so i just wanna say that i deeply wish for the show to get continued and get another season, in any way possible. it was one of the greatest animes i've ever watched and so many guestions in the show are left unsolved.


Note: Maybe i would go read the light novels. @__@

I remember hearing about this just after the whole incident was uncovered, absolutely disgusting. Can't believe they'd do this - especially as they should have known that it'd be met with a large backlash what Japans history with humiliation and the like... Was so upset about the whole incident that I've only just decided to watch this. A shame because it seems like a reasonably good anime - guess I'll check if the LNs have any translations after finishing the anime - instead of supporting the staff by buying the anime, might look into getting the LN's if the anime interests me enough.

well actually the anime ended before this whole audtion fiasco. so no you're wrong they ended it on a good note but it would have been nice to see the other members and Taichi's sister and more inaban and tachi's couple like relationship to be animated.

Well, it's 2 years later. And outside of a minor role in Another, Ichiki has been blackballed out of any VA gigs whatsoever.

Classic Japan though. If something Negative happens get rid of the negative thing, Ichiki, instead of the people who caused the negativity, the pranksters.

I didn't know anything about this controversy, and honestly I still don't care. Whatever childish shit they pull has nothing to do with the series itself, and anyone who judges this series based on the immature behavior of grown adults outside of the series is just ignorant. So they pulled a nasty prank, so it hurt some guys feelings, what the fuck does that have to do with this series? Oh, they were working on this series when they did it? So, if they had been working on some other series, no one would have said shit about the fact they did this series at all then, right? It'd be whatever other series they'd been working on, but since it was this one... Do you see how stupid that sounds when I spell it out like that? Grow the fuck up people, damn. The behavior of the VAs has nothing to do with the series itself.
Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again. However, if you are interested in intelligent discourse, feel free to message me.

I watched all 17 episodes of Kokoro Connect. It made me cry so many times. This was a really good anime, and I checked some from around the same season. This was the best out of all of them. They actually did this type of anime correctly, where most people got the ending they wanted. If he picked Lori, I would have been angry. But since it was Inaban I was glad.

They should have NOT boycotted the series because it's not the series fault. They should have given the anime to a new company and go bankrupt. :/

Yeah seriously. Why boycott the series. Sue the asses that pulled this retarded prank. I was so hyped too for Inaba x Taichi. And when they finally get together....BOOM they end the series. If news of a season 2 don't come out this year I'll rage but if anything I'll settle for the light novel. Volume 5 of Kokoro Connect is coming out in an english translation on October and volume 5 is the content after the anime so......yeah I advise my fellow english speakers who are fans of this show to do the same.

13EP+4OVA'S was complete season cause they planned 17EP but time was up so they had to release incomplete story, anime with a cliffhanger cause what Iori said at the end was a cliffhanger cause that raised again the question Will Tai & Iori be together or not it was like her finger is on reset button when it comes her relationship, they finished & released the 4final EP later as OVA'S

my point OVA'S arn't extra ones they are part of main series that was lefts out due time ending so pp should always count them, its same as anime has 24EP & ppl count only12EP

the anime is complete over there wont be any S2, unless they start with new chars like New season1, i think this is what is called spin-off

they ended anime, made proper ending so that made it impossible to do S2, at least impossible to continue their story
