One thing that's making me a bit sad lately is that there's almost assuredly not going to be another full Hidamari Sketch series until 2014. I'm actually going to miss these characters. =/ That's why I've been purposely going through these last few episodes of Honeycomb really slowly, instead of one a day like I'd planned. Sure, we'll probably get the Sae/Hiro thing this year, but I'll be shocked if that's anything more than an OVA, or MAYBE two episodes like SP was.
I'm almost certain that Hidamari won't stop until Yuno and Miyako graduate, though, so I'm sure we'll get another full season eventually (again, probably in 2014). How they handle Nori and Nazuna's story from there, though, I'm not sure. Maybe a flash-forward?
