It could have been bothersome for many reasons to end all the novels in one season of 24 episodes. Cost are the first one obviously but ...
... Honestly, if it's to wait 3-4 years to have the second season I prefer 3 volumes per season but one by year. Well that's only my opinion. Well Index was also already at volume 16 when season one began, and JC Staff can switch between Index and railgun which is a good compromise. |

As of right now, the biggest names in Light Novel are (In no specific order) Haruhi, Index, BakaTest, OreImo, Durarara, Bakemono series, Sword Art Online, Boku wa Tomodachi, and... Infinite Stratos (>.>) Most of these probably got their boost from the Anime, with the exception of SAO and Boku wa Tomodachi which doesn't have Animes yet. JC Staff only had three Light Novel adaptations that have 24 episodes; Shana, Toradora, and Index. As of November 2009, Shana had sold 7.5 million copies. As of July 2009, Toradora sold 3.2 million copies. As of October 2010, Index had sold 10 million copies. And before you point out the obvious, I can't find what's their numbers before the anime came out. Aside from these three series, I can only remember two other adaptation that got a two cour season, Durarara!! and Rental Magica. Hmmm... Perhaps I should retract my earlier hasty statement; rather than looking at the total sales- the mark of a popular Light Novel series is the sales per volume. Looking at it from that point of view, a series got to hit 100k on opening week I believe...

SAO's big? Nice. Does that mean we can hope an anime soon?

I don't know much the anime industry but from what I can gather, in my opinion, it's just popular enough to get one massive Light Novel advertisement but not popular enough for a full adaption.

The original material is not really at fault, I have started reading it and found it quite enjoyable. The problem is that the execution of the anime range from bad, but not horribad, to just good. The fight in episode 4 showed what good it could be if the director have actually gotten his shit together. Otoh, that running scene in episode 7 and how they treated Jeanne vs Himiko with like over 30 seconds of lol talk and lol flashback... I really have no words for it.

I found this at the TBS anime website
【TBS】6月23日(木)の放送は休止となります 【TBS】6月30日(木)の放送は#11深夜1時40分~ #12深夜2時10分~となります It looks like they won't air episode 11 at 23 June but will air it together with episode 12 at 30 June. To be honest, I prefer it this way since I probably will want to watch episode 12 immediately after finish watching 11. Also, over 2 millions in 9 volumes is quite a big sale actually. I am sure after the anime this season finished airing, the first DVD/blu ray and 10th volume come out, the number of sales will increase largely. If DVD/BD sales will be good as well, I am sure we will get another season. |
