Kyoto Animation has amazed many with the announcement painfully few expected – a new iteration of top cockatiel anime Tamako Market is in the works.
Since there is as yet no confirmation of what form the “new work” will take – the obvious options being a second season, a film or an OVA – there has been a great deal of speculation as to what KyoAni has in mind.
Speculation – and incredulity, as the show has generally been the subject of moeblob mockery and suffered what detractors maintain were deservedly disastrous sales:
Volume 1: 4,676
Volume 2: 3,853
Volume 3: 3,790
Volume 4: 3,278
Volume 5: 3,198
Although likely better received than the inevitable second and third season of Free! will be, more than a few have been complaining about the studio holding out on them for the final K-ON! instalment they so earnestly hope for.
What’s wrong with a second season of “Free!”? It’s way better in any aspect than Tamako was. And if KyoAni is milking something to death that’s Chuuni2.
Anyway, KyoAni has clearly taken the route of only animating their own franchises, so that means no more Haruhi, FMP or K-ON! for now.
I’m not sure, but heck at least it causes less shitstorm than the other show…
Eh, with their new LN line, Chuu2 and Free going to make bunchas of monies, Kyoani don’t careeeeee. KnK’s a bit of an unknown tho
I’m curious about how bad Nichijou’s sales were if this is getting another season.
More tamako market anime probably also means more people will draw hentai for it which is the only positive thing for it.
