Anyway, independent of the amount original content to be animated, the main factor defining if one or two cours are appropriate is the person responsible for the series composition, even more so than the director. In Tari Tari its the same person, and even worse has never worked in either positions for a TV anime.
The director/series composer is the same person who directed the Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva movie, which had a significant amount of "mainstream" appeal since the Nintendo DS game franchise is pretty huge. And when I mean mainstream appeal, I mean outside your typical "Otaku audience".

Not many people know this, but Professor Layton is actually PA's most successful anime, not Angel Beats, which this movie kicks the shit out of it in financial success. It made over $6.2 million USD in theatres worldwide (Japan and some parts of Asia at the time) in 5 weeks, which for an anime that is not Ghibli (or K-on) pretty damn impressive. In comparison the Dissappareance movie made $6 million USD and had a much longer airing period in theatres. Somewhat explains why visuals are always strong for the studio - $$$. Even Another, which most definitely is the worst looking series PA has done, is at the very least above average for TV standards.

Plus, *ahem clears throat*, no Okada to sabotage the series with her fetishes!
