At the end of the final episode 12 of anime "Date A Live" which was just aired on TV in Japan (it was broadcast earlier on internet via Nico Nico Douga), it was announced that the anime will get a second season. The airing time is not known yet.

Date A Live 2 on MAL

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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".

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.

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.

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. I'm a little unhappy that the first season of the anime rushed a little bit too much and skipped a lots of detail of the light novel.

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.

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"?

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.

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.

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.

There is no vol.8 yet (but may be out by the time the anime is made). However, there are indeed 8 volumes because there is also the Encore too.
