wait! Chuu 2 S2 is a real thing?
Don't you ever get tired of just being a contrarian all the time instead of actually enjoying good anime?
How is he being contrarian?

I like what I like. I am not a contrarian. Most people don't even like Tamako Market to begin with so I really don't understand how my views on that show would fall under that notion.
He does this shtick all the time, jumping in the thread to say "screw [show animeGAF generally enjoys]" and then jumping out without actually discussing anything. It's just driveby trolling but whatever, I'm done falling for his instigation.
You and me both man, you and me both.
If it happens I hope it's a pure SHONEN HAAATO anime.

I agree! I want swimming anime and more Haruhi, not more delusions adolescents with chuu.
Isshiki needed more screentime.
Any announcement regarding Hyouka won't happen now since it's a Kadokawa property.
This is too funny.

KyoAni needs to tap that Fujoshi market!
There is no "last novel", the story remains episodic and continues slowly as the author isn't dedicated to writing the series. Hyouka won't have another season until there's more content much later. There's no point making a movie for just a few short stories about the new school year, and there isn't enough content for a new series.
It's not like there's some super exciting development in the novels which hasn't been adapted. All the best stuff were already in the anime. Most of that was written years ago.

... Am I wrong for thinking this is what is going to happen?

I was recommended Tamako Market.
I still need to watch it.
I get the feeling that I should feel bad that it isn't doing swell.

I was hoping it'd kind of be something else.
I had heard the rumors going around that they were doing only 2 films. They'd need at least 3 to do the story any justice and not make it seem like a huge rush job.
Honestly, really not looking forward to these films. Likely, this means the beginning of Index undoing (read: Ruining) Persona 3's great ending.

AnimeGAF is more than one person. But I guess you wouldn't think that since your views are the only ones that count in all of AnimeGAF.
Your bullshit is really offensive honestly. I like shows that other people like, just looking at examples from last year I really enjoyed Fate/Zero and Humanity has Declined were great shows. I didn't enjoy Hyouka but I respect it. Theres literally nothing to respect about Tamako Market.
Sorry if that offends you.

If KyoAni doesn't deliver, I'm sure the doujins will.
The fujioshi market is a very safe bet though. Maybe they're looking for a backup plan in case people get tired of cute girls doing cute things.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
!!!Utah's lost chuuni childhood friend who is in love with him appears and becomes Rika's rival. I'm not even joking.
D:!!!
Same basic pose.
Nah. KyoAni4lyfe.
Gotta pander as widely as possible.
Well, but Hyouka aired much later than Nichijou. And they probably had Chuu2-2 in the kitchen even before Tamako started airing.
I didn't like Chuu2, but what makes me sad about this development is that there's nothing new; same old staff, same old (bad) visual style, same old material. In a studio with as much talent as Kyoani, it's sad to see the same 3 guys direct everything with Ishihara doing much more work than the other two.
You don't understand, it's not the different opinion that's the problem, it's only saying stuff like "LOL that show sucked I'm glad no more will be made" and then not backing it up before running out of the thread that's annoying and trollish.
This is factually untrue.
Tamako Market is literally "cute girls doing cute things" except it is an original work. It has failed. Previous KyoAni adaptations have never been "moderately popular" works aside from Key and Haruhi. Those are also far from "cute girls doing cute things" and are the opposite of their slice of life works. K-On was not a "moderately popular" source material before it was adapted into an anime. Not much more than Nichijou. One succeeded, the other failed. Chuu2 is a completely unknown light novel before it was adapted into an anime, and it wasn't even sold in many book stores originally. It is now one of their most popular works.
There is no pattern to what KyoAni makes being successful or unsuccessful. They make many different things and some are more successful than others. The failures do not follow any strict pattern, and neither do the successes.
Tamako Market, if anything, was viewed as one of KyoAni's "safest" works in years. Maybe that contributed to its failure. Maybe not.

You say that like the success of Tamako Market would have led to anything different other than perhaps more original material.
If the drama is anything to go by, will watch.
It's great.
Tamako has too many gross boys.
