WHAT? You have got to be kidding me! The first volume of the anime was just released and it sold like less than 1k! Granted, when we get the BD list later it'll probably come to 2k but all the same!
Unless this was meant to be split cour from the beginning?
Did they really think that the anime would sell so well that they could make another season?
Ah there's also the manga sales to consider. I haven't seen it on the Oricon though...
Poor Kadokawa, I hope this doesn't turn out to be a loss for them.

Great. They've got to finish the whole story anyways. And Shino didn't get man-raped yet. Not to mention Hamaji and Oosaki's OTP was not shown. Will look forward to this.

Oh, I'm happy. Recently I've seen too many (really, too damn many) crappy anime getting a second season, I was terribly annoyed. Well, Hakkenden it's not a masterpiece, I mean, but it totally captured me. The atmosphere, the characters... well I don't know, but that's it.
At least I have something to look forward to...

I thought the pace was too slow for only 13 episodes... well, I don't like the first season that much, but I guess I'll give the second one a shot.

Usually for such quick announcement of a 2nd season, the assumption is that it is a split cour decided before the first season was aired, in which case poor sales would not come into the picture. We already see something like this as recent as in, say, Hayate 3rd season for example.

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.

I'm sure they already had a second season in mind when they were doing the first, because there is no way in hell that they could actually make a decent ending out of this 13th episode with so much story left untold.

The 1st season finished without a conclusion so it was kinda obvious that there would be a 2nd one. Yay, will certainly watch.

Well then you should read this, the rules I.6 states "Please report rule violations to the moderators using the Report links or this form. Do not attempt to address or correct the situation yourself."

Oh wait, now I'm doing it.

OT: This is nice, it's not a bad show. I've been enjoying it and it wouldn't have been able to finish by next week.

I agree with you.

It didn't start out really great but it got me hooked by the last episodes and of course the news about S2 makes me happy. I haven't read the manga yet, but I hope they will adapt it well.

More attention should be paid to other series and their potential sequels. I'm not interested but I guess those who are can consider themselves lucky.

Adding to what symbv posted about this decision being made a while ago, the manga sales for this author likely influenced this decision. She's had BL titles land in the top 25 ranking, something that occurs only for the likes of Junjou Romantica etc. Hakkenden has more mass appeal than Super Lovers with its questionable themes, so they likely considered the split seasons from the beginning.

This is the best show that no one is watching this season.

It has surprisingly gotten better every week for me.

Yay! I'm really glad this is getting a second season. I'll definitely watch.

First episodes were a little dull, but since then it's been getting more and more interesting and captivating -- not to mention, I like the art and the animation's pretty good. Haven't seen many ~~QUALITY~~, derpy moments.

It was probably 2-cour from the start, though, considering the sales and whatnot. There was no way they'd be able to wrap up the series in one episode.

Yea, it had to be a split cour decision. but even so...it seems kind of risky to do that...
