Yeah, maybe this will turn into a long-running franchise.
Season 0: Prequel series covering the Super Peace Busters' childhood; the last episode concludes with their dissolution after Menma's death (Up through Menma's death five years or whatever before the series starts)
Season 1: AnoHana (2011)
Season 2: Like Enzo suggested, this will be AnoHana, the college years (2014-2017ish)
Season 3: The Peace Busters all find love and get married (Jintan with Anaru, Yukiatsu with Tsuruko, Poppo with some girl he meets during his travels) [2018-2020ish]
Season 4: The Peace Busters all have kids and contend with the various trials and tribulations of early parenthood (Early 2020s)
Season 5: This season covers the Peace Busters in the thick of family life, with their kids all in elementary school or middle school (Late 2020s, early 2030s)
Season 6: The Peace Busters' kids all leave for college or university, the gang having to come to terms with the loneliness of an empty nest :[ (Late 2030s, early 2040s)
Season 7: The Peace Busters' golden years. The first episode centers around them all quitting the jobs they've held since around season three, with the rest of the season consisting of them going with Poppo on some of his worldly travels, Jintan, Anaru, Yukiatsu, Tsuruko, and Poppo spending their post-retirement years traveling and partying hard. (Mid-late 2050s)
Season 8: The Peace Busters' twilight years. The group is in ailing health from their advanced ages; Jintan has Alzheimer's, Yukiatsu suffered a stroke and is confined to a wheelchair, etc. Episodes 6 through 11 each focus upon the final days of a different Peace Buster, each of whom dies at the end of their episode. The series concludes with Jintan himself dying after a lifetime of peace busting, the era of their group of friends fading into history. (Early 2070s through early 2080s)
That is the future waiting for the AnoHana franchise, imo.
