| 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. |

| Hurray!! My wish came true. Can't wait for it |
What was my signature again? |
| So it's like Haganai and IS all over again in that they'll burn out all the remaining source materials? That's just... you know what, forget it. Complaining won't get me anywhere. Bring it I guess. And time to continue reading the LN. |
 |
| Yes! This is terrific news. I would love to watch more Date A Live. |
 |
belatkuro said: There is one crucial difference: the two seasons of Haganai and IS were much further apart. This is more like a pre-planned (or at least planned when 1st season was aired) split cour. Anyway, I guess "Strike when it is hot I guess" can make sense.So it's like Haganai and IS all over again in that they'll burn out all the remaining source materials? |

| It wasn't good, but I loved the OP song.. gonna watch s2 |
 |
| Excellent news. My second favourite anime of the season, and I intend to buy the light novels in the next couple of weeks too. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
phoenixalia said: It is also possible that they made the decision only after 1st season started to air. If it is a split cour from the beginning, we should have been told the airing time of the second season as well. So it is hard to tell.So it was planned to be two-cour from the beginning. |

| Nice!!!! Can't wait. |
 |
| Hell yeah, can't wait. |

| The one show that I could not get through more than 2 episodes of this season is getting another cour. I guess if you slap together every cliche into one huge mess it's good right? |
| Ok™ |
| That last girl(miku iirc??) could pass as patchoulis cousin |
| Hell yeah! Despite the bad start, Date A Live is one of the series I liked this season. Definitely not bad. I'm excited. |
symbv said: Same difference. The source material is only 7-8 volumes in number, the first season covered half of the available volumes and now they're going to adapt the rest which will burn them all out.belatkuro said: There is one crucial difference: the two seasons of Haganai and IS were much further apart.

Though like I said, no use for me complaining as I can't predict what the producers want to do. I'll just accept it as it is. I still have to watch the final episode so laters. |

| I saw this news couple hours ago. More Kotori is a win :) |
 |
| Hmm... |
 |
| I approve. |
 |
| Oh yes please, the anime felt incomplete and now it is rectified and all is better. |
 |
| Nice. I shall watch whenever it airs. Did the LN get a sales boost from the anime? Maybe the BD+DVD preorders were enough to announce a 2nd season this early if it wasn't planned to be a split 2-cour anime in the beginning... |

belatkuro said: In terms of extent of consumption of stock, yes, but my point is that because the two seasons of Hagani were far apart, the actual rate of consumption is not that high compared to consuming everything in 2 cours that are close to each other. Same difference. The source material is only 7-8 volumes in number, the first season covered half of the available volumes and now they're going to adapt the rest which will burn them all out. And if you want to complain about burning out, I think burning out too much stock in one cour is actually more a concern - Date A Live consumed 4 volumes in one cour but OreGairu burnt 6 volumes in one cour. |

| Ehh, there are other shows better off with second seasons. I wonder what FUNimation is gonna do about it. |
This topic has not been locked and is still available for discussion. |
| Good that means I wouldn't have be left with question after I finished watching the first season |

ThangLong said: You couldn't have seen the news a couple of hours ago. Because the actual announcement was made only less than one hour ago. Perhaps you heard about the speculation because the official anime twitter asked all fans to STAY TILL THE END OF THE TV BROADCAST and don't even go to toilet lol. Fans decided that announcement of such importance has to be a 2nd season and so the speculation (and hypes) began. I saw this news couple hours ago. More Kotori is a win :) |

ainky said: Hmm... Yeah well, the creator of that died, so there will never be another season. |

| It was to be expected, stil, YES! |
................................................................................. |
| I'm not actually surprised by this but .....well, the Twins will definitely make a debut and likely more spirits from the LN. Sadly, I haven't read that far but will look forward to it. Oh and then there's the OVA. |
 |
| I was surprised that I actually liked this show and another season would be welcome. |
| Fantastic news! |
Hoppy said: Oh yes please, the anime felt incomplete and now it is rectified and all is better. Pretty much this. Same way I felt as well. |
|
| Wow. I'm surprise they announced it already! But that's great news to us fans. Too bad it's gonna be a long wait. I'm finally going to see the twins and Miku, and also...more KURUMI!!! YES! |
Ejc said: From the past LN sales thread, I could find the following. Before the anime was aired, after a month Date A Live v4 sold 48663; After the anime was aired in April, v7 sold 71179 after a month. Did the LN get a sales boost from the anime? Maybe the BD+DVD preorders were enough to announce a 2nd season this early if it wasn't planned to be a split 2-cour anime in the beginning... I also guess that preorders may be quite good for them to make the decision of 2nd season so soon. As I said "Strike when the iron is hot". |

symbv said: That's why I said same difference. Also, Haganai and IS both had those issues with the LN releases that stalled the output of new volumes, and thus made me question why they would make a new season despite the lack of materials available.belatkuro said: In terms of extent of consumption of stock, yes, but my point is that because the two seasons of Hagani were far apart, the actual rate of consumption is not that high compared to consuming everything in 2 cours that are close to each other.

That I didn't know as I haven't touched the LNs yet. It sure didn't feel like they covered 6 volumes though. Though again, I can never really predict what the studio and producers will do so I'll just accept whatever it is they do with the show and materials. So yeah. |

| Awesome , loved the anime , waiting forward to it. |
 |
| Still don't get the title, but loved the anime :D! |

belatkuro said: I still don't understand what same difference you are saying. I know Haganai and IS and Date A Live are same in using up the stock, but I have explained what difference I meant - how far apart the two cours in terms of airing time. And here Date A Live is different. So what is the "same difference"? That's why I said same difference. Also, Haganai and IS both had those issues with the LN releases that stalled the output of new volumes, and thus made me question why they would make a new season despite the lack of materials available. Also I don't see why you are so unhappy with anime adapting more of the LN. As I said, if the adaptation is too rushed that the feel of the LN was lost, then it is a cause of complaint, but it seems that your complaint is not how rushed the adaptation is but how much the LN stock is used for adaptation. Stark700 said: Plenty of people are surprised as they are concerned BD/DVD sales may not be good enough.... At the end even good sales may not guarantee a 2nd season, just look at Denpa Onna for one example.I'm not actually surprised by this but .....well |

| I can't argue with more Kotori/Kurumi, great news since it was one of the most enjoyable of the season, my day can only get better now if they announce the VN is going on PC (I wish). |
| Hell yeah!! |

Tohka_Yatogami said: If they could adapt 4 volumes in the first season, of course they can also just adapt the remaining 4 volumes for the second season. There is no need to wait for more material.Can't wait for second season. But it won't come out at least in Spring or Summer 2014 because they needed more materials, so they can animated it. |

Tohka_Yatogami said: I'm not surprise by this. They are going to do 5-8 volume of the light novels for sure. I think they will 4 volumes of LN again. Volume 8 is out? I thought there were only 7 volumes published so far. |
|
| awesome, I can not wait to see it :D |
 |
| YES YES YES I knew it all the way. |

However, there are indeed 8 volumes because there is also the Encore too.Tohka_Yatogami said: I'm not surprise by this. They are going to do 5-8 volume of the light novels for sure.
