2nd Season Announced? - CLANNAD AFTER STORY
 

Well it looks like there's a second season coming our way, Here it says that "the staff and cast will not be changed and that Dengeki G's Magazine (May 2008 Edition) has an interview article with the series director and storyboarder."

OK

AS offical information

http://d.hatena.ne.jp/moonphase/

we can stop the talk about if there is AS.

It is mean "Season 2 have already be decided,The detail is in G's magazine Vol.5 2008"

woot! :)

Does this mean Huruhi's next? Oh why can't May come any faster... :heh:

now we have two questions

1- when will the sa releas? is in the end of june as some info said
2- how many eps will the sa consest of ? is it 13 or 24

it looks may too far from now

I'm expecting it to be a 1-cour season, as do many others. It is my belief that 1-cour will be fitting enough to cover the events in After Story.

The other problem that may arise now is how it will be scheduled in regards to Suzumiya Haruhi Season 2.

so will we have after story after the tv series? or they will have a break and do -insert SHnY 2, FMP, etc- then continue with after story?

Here... have a pic:

So they really decided to make CLANNAD span more than 2-cours. :) Too bad it's not consecutive, or I would have brought up one of my earlier prediction posts. :heh: More despair for FMP! and Munto fans though... since SHnY at least has a next season confirmed. :heh:

With After Story, this will make CLANNAD KyoAni's longest running series. :)

Cheers.

Nothing against AS, but I hope it just airs after FMP3 and Haruhi2.

There is little to no chance for FMP3 to be animated anytime soon. The current plot in the novels prevent any possible open end at all, even with 24-26 episodes time span.
Hence, it will certainly end like a cliffhanger, thus they have to either make a new end (which is hardly KyoAni's habit) or they have to wait for the end of the novels (which is the most likely).

As for the order, just wait for the announcement of After Story, it would save time and meaningless debate on "which is better to make another series".

As personal opinion, Clannad has so many things to add that it has the biggest "sequel worthy" point (not about preferences) compared to the other 2. FMP TSR is nicely open ended, and Haruhi is "at first glance" (don't take it as a solid statement) that it is episodic/not really getting any much continuity (which is of course false, by reading the novels, but that's the state they leave with Haruhi 1).

Well, wait and see.

FMP has 3 seasons, and seems to be endless. Haruhi is very slice of life, self contained inside each light novel, at least until book 7, which would probably not be animated. Clannad is connected, so delaying the resolution for series which have no resolution written and would probably not resolve within one season is just wrong. Everyone is in the full Clannad mode right now, let's not dampen it with another story and then slap us with Clannad again.

This is so exciting! Season 1 was very impressive, so I'm excited to see Season 2.

I'm told by one of my sources that the second season will likely be in October (like when CLANNAD was originally announced a year ago), but we'll know all the gory details as early as this weekend.

In any event, I think we'll know a lot more very soon. *gets excited*

I find it funny how the After Story announcement spread features the Fujibayashi twins on page one when we all know that Nagisa's going to be the one and only female protagonist.

just saw this on nico... I believe this was the trailer shown at the end of episode 23...
