    Full Metal Panic! needs a fourth season.

    Kare Kano needs a second. (It only barely covers the first third of the story, and the story as a whole is really good.)

    Now one that definitely needs a third season (discounting the OVAs) is Genshiken. The manga has been gloriously revived and they haven't even made it to the end of the first run~!

    I wonder how many of these are not based off of manga? I wonder if that has any sort of impact?

    Manga was revived, but to tell the truth i find it less interesting then it used to be. Still good stuff, but probably not anime worthy.

    Agree , but FMP?Fumoffu is more like a spin off, So the third season applied here.

    From the Begin of COMO, FMP get more serious so is still good material for another season

    Yeah, it did. But the manga is going slowly (I think; read that somewhere) so it will probably be awhile. And I also heard that the series is in danger of ending or something... but I guess you hear that about almost everything.

    K-On for me is over. It ended very well, it had a strong sense of closure. A third season would infact lessen the impact of the final episodes.

    I suppose. K-ON was a story about Yui, front and center. All other characters have their own significance but Yui was central for all of them.

    And Yui has graduated from school. As much as I wanna see her move into a more Beck-like story, showing her college life would mean that it's not K-ON anymore because the very title suggests a highschool club band, not 'bands' in the common industry sense.

    In the manga, Yui and the other graduates have joined their college light music club. They could do a new anime about that.

    First let me say that I'm not a K-On watcher so I got no idea how it ended.

    But couldn't a next season focus on the new group?
    Recall something about the 4 main ones graduating, but that new members have joined since then.

    on the contrary
    i think another season showing the girls in college would be an enrichment to the franchise
    no matter what people say but character development is a strong point of the series and i would really like to see how they develop further in college and also how azu copes with the loss of the 4 girls

    Azu-nyan has Ui and Jun plus some new members and friends like Sumire and Nao. As for the HTT girls in college, they have a fellow band called OnNaGumi and it consists of Akira, Sachi, and Ayame. With this, season 3 of K-ON is totally inevitable.

    Another Season of K-On could be pure troll. All the K-On Girls get boyfriends in college which would destroy any sacred virginities that they might've had or will have. If the K-On girls end up having lives of their own it will be over.

    K-On probably needs new people kind of like Genshiken.

    No idea, VVayfarer's Yuri Alter Ego.

    Like I said, I'm not a K-On watcher myself, that type of show I personally find rather boring.

    But, I do know that others DO enjoy it, so I step outside of my own interest circle and step into theirs for a moment and look at what is possible, so they'd be able to get what they want.

    A similar situation with Sekirei, Sangoku Basara, or Gunslinger Girls shows I do enjoy, I simply see some serious obstacles in the way for another season.

    So I'm not quite sure how the makers could pull it off. Doesn't mean I don't want them to prove me wrong. Quite the contrary really.

    Just that it's not an open and shut case, unfortunately.

    Heck, someone mentions GitS below and I agree with them, that show deserves another season as well.

    So does Chrome Shelled Regios, seeing how rich the background of the created world is.

    And as I also mentioned, Strike Witches still has that damned Big White Elephant in the room, with regards to Miyafuji's old man, and whether or not he's really dead, as the whole letter routine and having perfected an engine he was still working on, when he supposedly croaked, seems to suggest otherwise.

    Not if they make it like a whole different series. Like with new characters that re-create the Light Music club. And the original light music club members try to show them the ropes or teach them how to play or something. But even if Mio, Yui, Ritsu, and Mugi graduate, Azusa will still be in the club because she's a freshmen when she first joins.

    The K-On manga is still ongoing so there's really no reason they can't do another season in a year or two.

    Kuroshitsuji II threw a lot of fans off track (Especially me) and sucked with all the new characters. I mean, seriously.

    K-ON!, Strike Witches, Shinryaku!? Ikamusume, Tantei Opera Milky Holmes, To Love-Ru, Yuru Yuri, Seikon no Qwaser.

    A lot of my favorites are there, especially Ika Musume. Ika-chan deserves to have another round of invasion.

    Boring does not mean bad. Case and point, have you ever seen Mushishi or Texhnolyze?

    @EndlessGr8

    I see that k-on has fucked up your brain. If an anime is boring, it is fucking bad because people watch anime for entertainment and being bored = 0 entertainment value.

    Comment by Anonymous

    Are you suggesting Texhnolyze being boring?

    I guess different taste apply.

    And arguably lots of the shonen shows where you can guess the plot by knowing what's usual for the shonen themed shows, it get quite boring. Or if you've read the manga and know all that happens it's boring. Yet if could still be good.

    Indeed,Fumofu was spin-off so it has only 2 real seasons. Talking of which Haruhi and K-On have only 1 season each. Minami-ke on the other hand might qualify for this list.

    Haruhi's second season is the one with endless 8, and K-on! 2nd season is called K-on!!
