Yeah, being adapted to an anime might end the story. if so, there could be a final vol 8 of the novel before ep24 of the anime will be aired.

But i HOPE i was wrong... i want more of this and I want to expect season 2..
IF and only IF it was translated in english, i will really buy all the volumes... but even baka-tsuki translation is really slow.. T_T

I guess its time to learn Japanese..

It can't end with volume seven's ending, I sure hope not anyway! Would be dissatisfying to say the least...

So 24 episodes, great! I Gather the anime will probably finish up the story, similar to Toradora?...

Golden Time novel 7 (main story) comes out October 10th so I dunno... being two cour there is time to get to it but Sakurasou only barely got into its 7th novel and I don't know if 7 is the last one of Golden Time so this might be yet another one we need to read to find out the real ending, sigh...

It's a similar situation with Toradora, where the LNs are still being released. In that case I'm pretty sure the anime end was the same as the LN end. But I'm not sure.

8 discs, 3 episodes per disc, 24 episodes just like Sakurasou. And with just 6 main novels plus a few novels of side stories done so far I think they can finish the main 6 novels in 2 cours like Sakurasou which snuck into the first chapter of volume 7.

There are EIGHT volumes of BD/DVD, meaning it will be TWO COUR in length !!!

Cover art for vol.1 is already out too!

I'm not sure how I feel about this so far, I think I'll give it a three episode test to determine if it's worth my time or not.
It looks kind of interesting, but I'm a bit on the fence.

I feel it'll be LindaxBanri and MitsuoxKouko. The whole Banri and Kouko is just a phase in the story for Banri and Kouko to reconcile with their past, about Banri's missing memories and the incident that happen with Kouko and Mitsuo that has cause Mitsuo to avoid Kouko all this time. At least that's what I think. It'll build to where they grasp their past, where all these feelings return for Banri, that he forgot. Likewise with Mitsuo to reconcile whatever happen that either forced him to avoid Kouko for all this time, and why he lied in high school about staying.

It feels like a puzzle. Once they reconcile, the puzzle pieces will fit together and Linda will be with Banri, and Kouko with Mitsuo. But this is just my opinion.

I hope this one remains as pure romcom series till the end and not degrading into harem on the way

Just jumped onto this series by reading a volume of the light novel myself.

It's a nice change to see one that's not based in a high school setting. Looking forward to the anime adaptation as the novel seems promising so far.

This alone was a draw for me. Mind you the characters are only a few months out of high school but the scenarios will be slightly different. Good to see this.

The "Golden Time" club is up if anyone is interested....

Can't wait for it. Especially since the LN is written by the same author as Toradora, my utmost favourite anime.

It really does. Pleasantly so I might say.

So, J.C. Staff confirmed. Very interesting (and expected?). Getting some high expectations over it now (that previous image turned me off to be honest...).

Kayano Ai and Kido Ibuki are really popular these days...

The ladies aren't to my taste, I'll respectfully pass on this.
