Legendary production controversy anime Minami-ke is apparently finally due a second season, much to the delight and scepticism of fans.
The announcement states a new project is in progress, with a formal announcement in the autumn:
Debate rages online as to whether this is a second or fourth season:
“So it’s getting a second season?”
“There was one. Face reality!”
“Is this even true?”
“Kana’s seiyuu tweeted about some ‘happy news’ coming, so presumably that was the 4th season.”
“There’s already a second season, you old fart.”
“There is a second season. This will be the third.”
“Strictly speaking there are now 4 seasons, though amongst fans this is another issue entirely.”
“At least recognise ‘Okaeri’!”
“So the second season is finally coming?”
“Give it a rest!”
“The first was good, the second and third were rubbish.”
“There was no second season!”
wtf, it IS the fourth season, and I hope it is as good as the 2nd and 3rd
I can’t wait to see Hosaka and all his manliness.
2nd season animation was fail
3rd season animation was fail disguise with fanservice(some of it)
OVA was still fail
It’s hard to tell what might be the outcome of this new season…
but expect Trap and Hosaka lulz
It’s like with the Tsukihime anime (just kidding, there’s no Tsukihime anime).
Super Minami-ke 2 turbo X ???
They can only call it a second season if the studio working on it is the one that worked on the first.
I frankly don’t give a shit, as long as the quality remains as good as the 1st or 3rd seasons. More Minami-ke is always a good thing.
“They can only call it a second season if the studio working on it is the one that worked on the first.”
What the hell are you talkin about, you nut?!
As you don’t include the 2ed season. What was so bad about it? The storys were as good as the storys of the 1st and 3rd seasons. It just had a bit more fanservice.
Yeah, I was so sad that it ended with the first season.
Great news.
Now I have an excuse to watch the first 3 seasons..or one?
First season was SOOOOOOO Awesome~
Talk about FUNNY~~!
triti
Next time on Sankakucomplex:
Tsukihime “Will Get Anime Adaption”
Please, man… Don’t give this motherfucker any ideas. And if you do, don’t fall for them. 😛
they already made an anime of it.
I’m glad I don’t notice things like drop in animation quality.
i wasn’t really that bothered by it either.
lucky us that we could enjoy something other people can only whine about i guess
I don’t really care if this is the first, the second, the omega, or whatever. Just bring me more Uchida.
“I don’t really care if this is the first, the second, the omega, or whatever. Just bring me more Mako-chan.”
FTFY
I knew dropping it mid third season was a sign. I didn’t realize it at the time but what I DID notice was that I really enjohyed the first season where I just couldn’t wait for the next episode to come out… barely managing to finish the second season, feeling as if I kinda fought my way towards finishing it not being as enjoyable… and as for the third season dropping it somewhere right after the pool episode…
Would be nice to see what hooked me in the first season return… also go back to season 1’s art style, 2’s and 3’s failed… badly…
2ed Season’s Art was nice. The “Black”-People in the Background were the problem in my eyes. If the “Black”-People wasn’t in the 2ed Season it would be the best one so far.
Ups, I forgot to log in. So:
I’m a little confused:
* Minami-ke [13 episodes) – 08.10.2007 till 31.12.2007
* Minami-ke Okawari (13 episodes) – 07.01.2008 till 31.03.2008
* Minami-ke Okaeri (13 episodes) – 05.01.2009 till 30.03.2009
* Minami-ke Betsubara (OVA, 1 episode) – 23.06.2009
there were 3 seasons. People are denying the existence of the 2nd and 3rd season, much like people do with Star Wars(caugh* episode 1 *caugh*)
SHIT! This is going to make me youtube the “curry song” and now I’ll never get it out of my head AGAIN!!
Imasara garamumasara…..ugh, NOOOOO!!
I hope this will be just as enjoyable as the first.
I haven’t gotten down to watched the series, but this doesn’t make sense. On many sites the sequels are liked just as much as the first. Are all the haters subconsciously drawn to this site?
You’re forgetting this is Sankaku Complex, a site run by a 5 year old attempting to act like he’s an almighty figure in the anime fandom.
What fucking sites are these? Sites where people have shit taste, obviously.
Anime News Network, Anime Planet, My Anime List… Actual popular websites, where thousands of people have rated. Okay, so the second and third seasons got a little lower scores, but a difference of 1/2 a point doesn’t make something bad.
So I was right. They were liked on sites where people have shit taste.
the only person with shit taste here is you
well i love Minami-ke but fail to see why this is second season. second and third seasons may be not as good as first but still enjoyable to watch.
I only watched the first season.
Are the other two any good?
they’re fucking awesome. these haters are mentally retarded.
Nice. More Kanna~
I liked Okaeri personally. Okawari sucked balls though.
Awesome. I wonder whether someone will eventually make a Tsukihime anime too.
I can’t wait!
More Minami-ke = win, that is all.
Fuck yeah!
Lol second season by Daume
only the first season was following the manga
the second and third seasons are fillers and done by another animation studio.
In terms of canon, only Minami Ke season 1 exists,
the rest are filler and non canon
…I don’t know if I should laugh or cry to this…
I am Boss
Minami-ke
Minami-ke Okawari
Minami-ke Okaeri
Minami-ke Betsubara (OVA)
Now they’re telling us there’ll be [u]second[/u] season? O_o What’s going on?
Okawari and Okaeri? what’s that?
[Jedi Mind Trick]
Okawari and Okaeri never existed.
[/Jedi Mind Trick]
finally,
i started to suffer from teardrop-mouths-and-leaf-shaped-ahoge withdrawal
can’t wait
My concern is what production company is going to do this “second” season. As we all remember the issues when the first second season came out.
2nd season ?
Minami-ke
Minami-ke Okaeri
Minami-ke Okawari
oh wait… 2nd ?
I was thinking the same thing…
Okaeri? Okawari? Nope, not related at all.
not related but similar
“So the second season is finally coming?”
I didn’t watch this series.But this can’t be a second season as it already have three season already.it should be the fourth season
Nope. 2nd season.
Seasons 2 and 3 never existed.
I must have no taste, I enjoyed all the seasons >.>
What the hell is this about? I have all three seasons.
http://myanimelist.net/anime.php?q=minami%20ke
i enjoyed all 3 series too.
I enjoyed them too but they were done by other directors So this would count as a second if done by the same as the first
BTW Kana is awesome <3
Yeah, you have shitty taste.
MINAMI HARUKA! ahaha-ahaha-ahahahaha
Make it, meirei da ! Ne, oyabun ?
So S4?
I’ve been waiting so long for a second season! Minami-ke was great!
mfw I wasn’t logged in when I said that.
There has been only one season of Minami-Ke.
there is minami-ke,
minami-ke okawari,
and minami-ke okaeri …
(and even minami-ke betsubara…. )
the graphical style change for each one, how can those 3 can be only one season ?
1st season was brilliant.
the bits were nearly verbatim to the manga, with some nice angle shots and animations. extras like screaming the manga title every skit and sensei & ninomiya-kun made it even funnier.
2nd season was atrocious.
they did nothing close to the manga. i think they did one chapter vaguely. scenes were very serene and dark, it did not match very well with kana’s energy. they threw in a random boy who eventually left at the end of the season. should’ve killed him off.
3rd season was an attempt at 1st season’s style with 2nd season’s studio. stories were verbatim to the manga but still something was missing.
I hope they bring back season 1’s studio.
first season is best for sure, but i got the feeling that the okawari was trying to follow, i have not read the manga, so i wasn’t expecting anything precise , therefore i like 🙂
3rd doesn’t meet so much expectations ….. but enjoyed anyway :p
I thought second season was tolerable because at least it remained a comedy. The third season was just very, very dour including one of the most dour secondary characters ever, Fuyuki.
Also, the reason why the seasons felt off was because the director changed and so was the animation staff. The first season had everything going right and it had a veteran director who knows how to do comedy.
Because Im pretty sure they didn’t follow the manga at all from what I remember? and asread just ruined it. Okawari and Okaeri are like Persona Trinity Soul. They don’t exist. Period. I do hope StarChild/Duame or someone not asread and reliable is doing it.
were thay that bad, its been a while sense i watched it, i dont remember them being tsukahime levels of it never existed.
But that was actually decent while Okawari and Okaeri was FUBAR.
That’s like saying original FMA anime didn’t exist just because it deviated from the manga.
Finally a second season!
at first I didn’t get it but now, I see, I see what you did there XD
WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT>? haha
Glorious Bossu pantyshot
If I’m a Decepticon, I’ll be pleased to scan and reformat myself as a chair or as floor tiles and continue slacking in a classroom filled with schoolgirls. (Cute ones, of course)
Something that appears when you sit down but disappears when you stand up…
Oh you got to love Haruyama’s pantsu-showing artworks.
Haruyama: A true Rule 34 Master.
Give him any anime with cute or decent looking girls from any era. He’ll pick any scene from the show and turn it a into panchira masterpiece.
It’s especially funny with Haruyama since he does panty shots of totally non-sexual, non-genitalia-wielding cartoon characters and even American cartoon characters.
what is this news? wrong typo? trolling?
I’m confused…
ahh delicious Kana pantsu *saved*
Mm.. kana pantsu~~
I can see Kana’s armpit from inside her school shirt’s sleeve~
*saved*
She exposed her armpits so much in the first season’s early episodes…
What are you talking about? It’s news of a second season of Minami-ke; I hope it will be as good as the first.
Why the confusion? There haven’t been any other seasons. They never happened. Just like there was never a Tsukihime anime
but there was a tsukihime anime
tsukihime anime proof here:http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=1015
Never heard of it, Carnival Phantasm is the first time we’ll see Tsukihime characters animated, although in a slice of life kind of setting…
Would be good if they (ufotable) did make a Tsukihime anime…
There wasn’t a Tsukihime anime. Don’t ever say there was. If you continue to make such disturbing claims, Kohaku will put cyanide in your Rice Krispies.
I’m a little confused:
* Minami-ke [13 episodes) – 08.10.2007 till 31.12.2007
* Minami-ke Okawari (13 episodes) – 07.01.2008 till 31.03.2008
* Minami-ke Okaeri (13 episodes) – 05.01.2009 till 30.03.2009
* Minami-ke Betsubara (OVA, 1 episode) – 23.06.2009
you are right, but baby whiners like to nerdrage
So its remake of second season?
This franchise is just the victim of the inequality fallacy, which states that if A is not as good as B, then A must be singularly bad. Such fallacies are distressingly common in the anime fandom, e.g. “This English dub is not as good as the Japanese dub, therefore it sucks.”
We may as well pre-emptively declare this fourth entry not to exist either, because there’s no way it’ll match up in fan imagination to the first season, which was produced by the same studio that brought us legendary series like DearS, Brighter than Dawning Blue, and Hanaukyo Maid Team.
I see this a lot. It’s annoying actually. Companies are in a lose-lose situation when they make long awaited sequels. It is nearly impossible most of the time to meet the expectations. Many sequels are poorly received even though they are just as good as the original.
hmm well thats strange are u telling me:

all these episodes belong to same season ? confusing
No, technically there are three seasons already but the second and third were considered to be complete failures (to say the least) and so now they’re making a ‘real’ second season which is technically the fourth season but among (most) fans the second season. Me included. I haven’t even finished the third season.
I couldn’t even reach the third season. I stopped after a few episodes in the second season.
To add to that, the production company changed in both of the seasons and it affected the quality of the series dramatically in a bad way.
if u still considering to finish the so called “3rd season” please watch only the last 2 epsd. at least you will still enjoy the show
“The first was good, the second and third were rubbish”, thats true… >_<
