sayonara-zetsubou-sensei-exposure.jpg

An apparent leak reveals the possibility of a new series of sublime if abstruse parody anime Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, which would bring the successful franchise up to its third season.

The source goes so far as to offer the date for the airing of the show as being July.

The particular board this rumour emanates from is apparently inhabited by at least one industry insider, whose numerous leaks have mostly proven correct. Thus observers are happy to consider the probability of this rumour being true to be quite high.

You can see the track record of the mysterious source below:

Zetsubou Sensei from July Unknown
Negima continued by Shaft Unknown
A Certain Scientific Railgun in 2010 Actually due 2009
Fullmetal Alchemist cast to differ substantially in new series Correct
Munto to be 9 episodes Correct
Basquash air details Correct
Strike Witches II due 2010, to be based on light novel Correct
Haruhi to be broadcast as mix of new and old episodes Unknown
Shangri-La (Range Murata anime) to be 24 episodes Unknown
Asura Cryin’ to be broadcast as two seasons over spring and autumn Unknown
Seitokai starts July Correct
Omamorihimari to be animated in 2009 Correct
Seiken no Katanakaji produced by Manglobe Unknown
Hetalia air details Correct
Spice and Wolf second season starts July with 12 episodes Correct, but episode count unknown

It would appear the leak is highly reliable.

    Well, it was inevitable, after all. There is still plenty of source material, and both seasons have been breakaway hits, they would have to be insane to not make a third after the OVA's.

    Wait a second. How is it even possible? Akiyuki Shinbo is doing Bakemonogatari for summer season. Don't think that he is capable of doing 2 series at the same time.

    Yeah I kind of doubt it due to Bakemonogatari.

    Of course, it's easy to see what my response is:

    I'm replying to myself. The Negima continues with Shaft is I think, 100%. Akamatsu/Shaft did announce OAD 2 (4 parts) not long ago due to great (240,000) OAD 1 sales and they keep saying that a movie/3rd season is possible.

    I don't really see the series changing studios anytime soon.

    The first Negima! OAD was already done by Studio Pastoral for the most part, the second OAD already credited the animation production as Studio Pastoral & SHAFT.

    Before this "corrected" leaks, the Negima! line was "Negima! OAD will change from Shaft in the final episode" and this correction comes after the studio announcement.

    Partly related, this same guy also said Dance in the Vampire Bund will also be animated. MoonPhase posted the news saying it will be done by Shaft but later they realized it was "2ch jokes" and deleted the article.

    Shinbo did THREE series at once back in 2005 with the first Nanoha, Cossette and Moon Phase, all by different production studio. Doing two series at once is nothing to him, but it will surely corrupts Shaft's own schedule, like Negima!? and the first Hidamari Sketch.

    this source seems pretty well inside the industry so i would think most of his information to be accurate.

    No additional comment on "mix of new and old episodes" for the Haruhi broadcast?

    I'm... not too enthused.
    Season two was mediocre to good, not quite as excellent as season one, but the OAD practically made me explode with win.

    All in all, I have pretty mixed feelings for a season two. There are plenty of excellent manga chapters left unanimated, and some of their original stuff has been good, even updating a few of their jokes in the anime versions has proven excellent.

    Of course, though, this means more Maria...

    ...I'm sold!

    But just a question. A Omamori Himari anime was confirmed?

    Now we need a report on Maria†Holic. You'd have a feeling of Zetsubou while watching it due to Shaft.

    I'd call it FAKE.

    They have Bakemonogatari in July, which can't be failed since the project itself is a certain raiser for a bigger Kodansha-Aniplex project. Failing this will only worsen Shaft's relationship with Aniplex, thus killing their second-most (and potentially the most) profitable anime series: Hidamari Sketch.

    If they have some brains, they won't take the risk. Or maybe they will, but outsource all the damn episodes.
