OVA of Dantalian no Shoka Canceled [Update Sep 7]
Source: Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko
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.

Mm, to be honest, i don't really mind. I expected so much more from this anime, but i'm really disappointed.
Same here. The first episode was quite good, and with that ending sequence I was hoping for something epic too but... Yeah, now I'm only watching it for OnoD and all those "Yessu's". All the characters act like nothing special is happening around them so it doesn't really have many intense scenes (except for a few scenes here and there). So if there isn't an OVA, that's alright. If they end up making one, that's good too.

Dalian doesn't know the meaning of "no" though...
YESSU.
Kind of a pity. I've only watched one episode, but It was pretty fun. And the NicoNico comments were funny.

what the HELL man it's one of the good shows that i'm enjoying watching Goddammit
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.

As long as the manga continues >_>
I really hate the anime's character design anyways...
That's next for the chopping block unless it's not an adaptation of the novel.

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.
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.

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.

At least its something; would have preferred a full season though.
