isn't necessarily KyoAni's "biggest cash cow" anymore.
K-On! sold way better in 2009 than Haruhi 2009 did, and I think that K-On! sold better than even Haruhi 2006 did.
I'm certainly not saying that I
like this, but it's the facts, and it's facts that KyoAni themselves have to be considering.
Haruhi isn't
necessarily KyoAni's flagship title anymore... and if it isn't, it only makes commercial sense for Kyoani to focus more on K-On! (unless Season 2 exhausts all possible material there, of course).
Also, one thing I
strongly dislike is...
1) How some Haruhi fans talk about KyoAni "trolling", and...
2) Talk about this like it's a
good thing.
I think the "trolling" argument is overstated.
Viral marketing may very well have been something that KyoAni was guilty of, but I'm not sure if I would call that "trolling", per se.
Also, given how incredibly long Volume 10 has taken so far, I'm not sure how 'soon' its arrival will be.
Chances are there
will be more Haruhi anime material, but if there's one thing that we fans of this anime/light novel franchise should know by now, it's to be very cautious, and to be very patient. And to not assume anything.
