I do suspect that they might go for the otaku half of Noitamina since they need to build up funds since Nichijou appears to be a flop when it comes to DVD sales.

My guess is they tried the same with Nichijou, but went a bit too far in trying too please non-otaku so they lost their main audience on this one. I'm sure Nichijou would have worked fine in the Noitamina slot. Still, I hope it won't end their attempts to do something different.

But I'd be happy just to see them adapt more things that are safe for Golden Time. More widely accepted animations that aren't about fighting or magical girls or have to do with decade-long family series. It could help open up other genres to more general audiences.
