I noticed for the past 12 years that there isn't any hint for Hyouka to receive a second season, and I always find that confusing.

I know it's a big meme to be like, "Haha, most popular anime don't get sequels" but for the convenience of Hyouka, it's just a bit weird. KyoAni is very well known for making many second seasons for popular franchises (Hibike, Chuunibyou, K-On, Clannad, Free). I just find it odd that they left out Hyouka, given how popular the series is on this website, and I have no doubt it's even more popular in Japan.

So that's why I'm wondering.. why no season 2??

There’s a nice show running right now called Shoshimin which is as near as you’re ever gonna get. Same writer, same general theme. It’s good, try it.

I think it’s partially due to kyoani not working with Kadokawa anymore for licensed adaptations. It’s the same reason for no Haruhi s3.

It was said that a complete fallout happened between Kyoto Animation and Kadokawa (apparently, because of how Kadokawa treated the animators), and therefore, they'll never work together again. Kadokawa could have produced a 2nd Season, and given it to another studio, but maybe they thought it couldn't be as good as what KyoAni did (which could hurt the sales) ? There is currently not a lot of content left to adapt, and with the state of the Novel, they wouldn't benefit much from it either, anyway.

I don't usually write anything on MyAnimeList but since no one here is Providing any good answer I will be the paragraph guy

being a hyouka fan is a Nightmare, there isn't enough content to make a Season 2 of hyouka, the season 1 had 23 episodes (ova included) and it adapted 4 novels of hyouka and now we have 2 remaining, but I think it's for the best the first season covers all of the first year adventures of our gang and the second year content isn't completed

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

A fun fact those 6 volumes took 15 years to make and there is no volume 7 till this date (the author said on his Twitter that he is working on a volume 7 in 2019 and we haven't heard from him about the hyouka volume since) so yeah the future of hyouka is not looking bright. One more thing hyouka Novels real name is "koten-bu series" and they have never been officially translated in english though they do have a very solid English translation by a fan I heard they are on point so if you are that in need for hyouka give it a shot

A LITTLE GOOD NEWS

Hyouka does have a manga which adapts the story from the Novels and it is currently releasing the content of the rest of the 2 Novels which means the content after the season 1, and just to spice things up a little THERE IS A FIFTH MEMBER JOINING THE CLASSIC LIT CLUB NOW. Again this too doesn't have an official English translation but a very decent fan translation of it.

so enjoy my fellow hyouka fans, but I personally prefer to consider the season 1 the end of the story since it ended on a bitter sweet open ending and I am not sure how the rest of the two Novels would give me a better ending than that.

It was meant to end after the first season.

KyoAni doesn't work with Kadokawa anymore and Kadokawa hasn't given this to any other studio.
Possibly Kadokawa doesn't think this would be profitable if they give it to another studio, considering a very likely big downgrade in quality in that case.

Nowadays KyoAni only does shows they produce and they don't own this one.


Also in the case of the content, there would be enough for 12 episodes, but yeah even the novel isn't much further than the anime. Only 2 unadapted volumes.

The gifted Hyouka's director died during kyoani attempt so a second season won't have the magic of the first season.

@Hombre7Electrico I don't think that would necessarily be that much of an obstacle. Takemoto was already replaced by Tatsuya Ishihara midway through Dragon Maid's second season after his passing, and they always could get one of Hyouka's episode director/boarders to replace him too, like Taichi Ishidate or Taichi Ogawa.

It’s been a while since I’ve watched but I remember it ending with a pretty satisfying conclusion. Now I’m not sure if there’s more content in the light novel after the events of the show, but I think the story was wrapped up nicely in one season

True, but we can only enjoy what’s there. Wishing for miracles is pointless.
