krpalmer | Wild Continuation Wishes (Reply)

The Otaku USA news item emails I haven’t got to the point of unsubscribing from do keep dragging me to the different point of following a link every so often. A “survey of what anime series Japanese fans would like to see sequels to” (sourced from a different site that did the actual translation) would seem to have as much to do with who contributed to it as anything, and yet for all of the titles in the list that I haven’t seen myself it did get my attention when the number three pick was Bloom Into You (picked by about sixty-six voters). Its anime adaptation did just sort of leave off midway through, even if a part of me wonders if a particular part of the manga’s conclusion, in appealing to my skewed tastes, couldn’t get on TV. On a less sensational note, I also have just enough of an understanding that Adachi and Shimamura is a “girls’ love” title to ponder it being the number four pick, and can in any case admit my own “hopeless hope” for a continuation hit on Harukana Receive. The manga’s art has improved somewhat from its beginning as I approach its conclusion, but its anime was done well enough I can still suppose it turned out more appealing.
