IIRC, HSI Volume 1 has sold over 10k DVDs/Bluray, so that's definitely a commercial success imo. Also, HSI characters raped Japan Saimoe Preliminary rounds with 3 characters going through the main stages.

Because I'm got quite a few Mangas in mind that could use their godly animation and as long as you follow the source people wouldn't complain about the plot.

This is a good point. Perhaps P A should take an adaptation route so they don't "fail" so much with pacing and consistently but still maintain their excellent animation quality. Still going to need a good director/series composer to make sure they adapt it well though.

And Canaan was originaly presented as adaptation of the game "428" until it was revealed it would be completely original story.

I heard that it was the sequel to that Type-Moon game, so in a way it's an original story and in a way it's not. But hey, at least it's MUCH better than DEEN's adaptation of Type-Moon's work (See UBW
)

PS:I actually really like Hanasaku Iroha

I actually like it too (though probably not as much as you), but I'm just more bummed that it did not reach the potential I would like to have seen. The first two episodes and the Satsuki/Tokyo arc really showed how good HSI can be if it tries.
