Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.

Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?

One of us! One of us! One of us!

Already one of us? Make your presence known:

Quote: I was too lazy to upload them to Imgur (I don't go to 4chan, I just had the links). And uploading them isn't working. Meh. Woah Slash, you can't just leave us hanging like that, especially if it was yuri-related.

Like I said. If the series is finished then it's not getting adapted anymore, since LN adaptations are mostly for advertising the LNs. Spice and Wolf still has greater than ten books of material to work with iirc, but won't get a season three because the series is finished.

That's not what I heard. But either way, this article sums it up: http://ultimatemegax.wordpress.com/2013/06/20/the-reasoning-behind-a-lack-of-haruhi-s3/ Yeah that article is wrong. There was only ever going to be 10 books from the beginning, I believe (ten ended up running long and so getting split). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Haruhi_Suzumiya_light_novels Tenth book came out in 2011. It was finally translated to English November 2013. I know, because I bought it and read it (own entire set woo). So it's not like it wasn't still being released in places/could've been promoted. That blog article's thesis seems to be "no new novels are being written so there's no cross-promotion," despite that they also noted sales weren't as good for book ten. And the anime itself is a huge driver of sales (Haruhi sold very well). So with more than half the series to go and spinoffs continuing, there's not really a good business reason to stop. At least one of the spinoffs is getting an anime adaptation, even if it's generic romcom. EDIT: Ooooh, interesting. Is that always the case? I mean... why adapt something that's finished like F/Z, or based on a visual novel like F/SN/anything Key? I mean, not that I care, since I read the novels.

This is @Slash too. It obviously isn't strictly the case, Type-Moon with F/Z and KnK is an obvious exception, another obvious exception being LoGH. However, I think it's a general rule. It's the reason I see thrown around for S&W not getting another season. For what it's worth the S&W manga is still ongoing so that may not be the reasoning at all, but the manga is also written by the original author of the LNs. I think it has a lot to do with the companies and authors involved and whether it seems like a good business proposition, to fans it may seem like it but fans don't always have the whole picture and don't always think the same way companies do.

Because TM loves making money off of Fate and because Ufotable is full of TM fanboys. They begged Nasu to let them adapt KnK even though it was a flop (that is, the original novels flopped) just because they liked it.

All the quote really said is that the Toaru series is "currently paused".

Clannad opted for exploring (almost) every single route from the original VN before actually getting into After Story. It's technically Mei's arc.

heart-under-blade Posts: 36,354 Group: Iris Member #2 Joined: March 20, 2005 Gender: Male Country: #0# True Name: Saturos Theme Song: https://youtu.be/mh5vyvMGhqE	Spoilers for the Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya At the end of the movie Kyon talks about how he'll have to go back in time and save himself, but that he wants to have Haruhi's hot pot first. So that was a future version of himself who saved the past version. LOL TIME SHENANIGANS The whole going back in time thing is procrastinated on in in the LN series; I think they finally get to it in book six or so?
