My backlog demolition continues. This show was absurdly wholesome and heartwarming. Starting to hate shows that last twelve episodes though, they just leave me wanting more.

That episode was awkward to watch but I'll give it that it established the cop and some of his relationship with Satou-sensei.

I think Episode 7 would've worked better if they'd left Kurtz out entirely for his own arc down the road when the manga gets to him/they get to that point in the manga, and focused solely on Satao and Ugaki's relationship.

I think it really helps that the characters themselves are so very :kimchi: themselves. Here's to hoping for Season 2!

Takahashi's journey to understand his Demi students was a sincerely heartwarming. Between this and Maidragon, it was a good season for supernatural slice-of-life anime.

Unfortunately, it's pretty uncommon for a SoL anime to get more than one season. Off the top of my head, the only ones I can think of that did get more than one season are Hidamari Sketch and Kiniro Mosaic.

Kirara series tend to be merch powerhouses, so more seasons = more merch. I doubt this is the case for this series sadly.

Aw gently caress, really? That's a kick in the gut. Surely they can try and sell stuff overseas, right? I can certainly see this going down better than Pantyshot Isekai Harem #69 on DVD sales everywhere that isn't Japan, at least.

You're missing quite a few :v:

K-On, GochiUsa, Non Non Biyori, Aria, Working!, New Game has one coming up, and someone mentioned Yuruyuri.

There's probably some I'm forgetting too but I don't really think it's that uncommon, especially if the show is popular.

Hot drat, I stand corrected. Maybe there is hope for more Demi-chan! :pray:

All that being said, though, there are still plenty of good & popular SoL shows that only get one season. Shows like Nichijou, Flying Witch, A-Channel, & Nichijou were all consigned to having only one season.

Maybe it just says something about me that I think more about the shows that should've gotten more than one season.

Flying Witch was just last year, I wouldn't necessarily count it out yet. Unless there's just not enough source material to go with or something. And Nichijou was at least 2-cour (though of course I would love more).

The biggest problem with another cour of Flying Witch is there's not much content left after what's been covered. The first season covered the bulk of 4 Volumes, and there's only 5 completed. It's a similar situation with Demi-chan, now that I think about it.

Flying Witch sold like trash. It's never getting a second season. Sales is pretty much the only thing that matters in determining whether or not a show continues.

Yeah. It doesn't necessarily have to be sales of the anime (I think) but sales of something has to go up a lot to justify another season (though sales of the anime is generally a good indicator regardless).

I think that's the main reason we haven't seen more of nearly all of the series being lamented; there isn't enough material to adapt.

I don't know if I want another season. It won't be the same without Marble performing the ed, and more importantly, without Matsuki Miyu to voice Yoshinoya-sensei.

I know what happened with Matsuki Miyu, but what would stop them from having Marble perform the ED, did they break up?

I figured I’d check this out since I’m not really watching much this season and I can whittle down my backlog a little. I usually don’t binge watch series unless they’re really good. This one I finished in four days.

I really like this series. Tetsu isn’t a giant horny pervert or a complete idiot. There’s a good balance of humor and serious moments. There’s a sprinkle of fanservice that doesn’t dominate. It was really heartwarming.

Now if only Nurse Hitomi would get an anime.

Ignoring that it is already just called Nurse Hitomi's Infirmary because that title requires no interpretation.

I love how the best praise for this series is by defining everything that it's not vis-a-vis other "monstergirl" genre franchises.

A lot of people I know don't hate anime, but hate all those parts (dumb/perverted/one-note characters that bust on to a scene to hit their note, fanservice) so I understand describing shows like that.

Alice and Zoroku this season has been hitting those same notes for me. It's about the world's coolest grandpa wrapped up in some paranormal bullshit that he's too old to have time for. It's also been heartwarming and without any creep.

I had a distinctive feeling that this was going to be like an episode for the fans, like the Nadesico movie:

  • Bring back all characters for a cameo appearance
  • No real unusual character development... everyone is just a bit older but with the same general flaws
  • Show off all of the endearing qualities of the cast
  • show off a super secret new character that will simply remain a mystery for the end of time because the series is definitely over and no new animation will be produced

Yes, I know that there is a manga. My curiosity for the story does not extend quite that far

You have to balance out possibly creeping people out wearing clothes that still has gaps and just being a ghost that people can hear but not see.

The main issue is exposure to the elements. Going to and from school especially in Japan you have the risk of rain storms and then being freezing during the winter.
