Little Witch Academia 2 on MAL
myanimelistllcMar 25, 2016 5:52 AM
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

It was a fun 20 minutes, but maybe they could invest in a 12 episodes anime so we could get a bit of plot/character dev. and all that..

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Great to hear. Enjoyed the first ep. Had a Disney feel to it.

I'm hoping a sequel means a full-fledged 12 ep series or maybe even a movie. Either way, this needs a production committee ASAP and turned into a franchise :D

Fuck this, where's my INFERNO CUP~PEH season 2, Trigger? For great justice.

In all seriousness though, I'm hyped for more LWA.

The special got so many fans and it was merely 20 minutes. I'm extremely glad we'll watch more of it, and totally hope for it to be at least a mini anime series with 10-13 episodes. Absolutely looking forward for more info. :)

I'm willing to back the project if it gets to Kickstarter. That would also be the first project I would back.

Please let it be at least 1-cour or a bigger movie, not just another episode ;_;

Your story is about "crowdfunding". Mine is about the decision to make a sequel (without having the means of obtaining funds attached as a precondition). Anyway I am asking my colleagues to take a look at your submission.

Nachtwandler_21 said:

Well, the news is from America, right? I guess people in the west are more knowledgeable about what happens in Anime Expo. I myself would wait to see what the "important announcement" they have in a Japan event. The situation in Japan is similar: Blogs and forums are not treating the news as definitive and prefer to wait for conclusive announcement in Japan. Anyway, I am also asking my colleagues to take a look at news submission about PP S2 story. If they decide this can be posted I would be fine too.


EDIT: I saw a post in Psycho-Pass subboard which has more details of what actually happened in the panel and I made a reply to that. I'd just copy and paste it here:


TallonKarrde23 said:
It says they "confirmed a season 2" but I was there (made sure the guy who they used for a 'source' was tweeting it from the same panel already) and all he did was confirm there will be MORE Psycho Pass and that they are working on the script. This was in response to a question that was asked like this; "if there is a season 2, ova, or a movie or something will it show more of Kogami's past?". He never said season 2 - this retard who works at Funimation they are using as a source assumed a season 2 on his own.
This is precisely what I fear and why I decided not to start a new thread about it in the News Board. Fans in Japan are skeptical about the news because such an important announcement usually comes from Japan first and there is already a planned event for some "project announcement" in September for Psycho-Pass. I just fear that some people and some websites may take some vague reference and hint from those staff from Japan and jump to conclusion that it is firmly about a "season 2". If it is just more "Psycho-Pass" it could be anything from a game to more novels. Anime is of course a possibility but that does not necessarily mean it will be a second season.
