To make matters worse, it was only done digitally with no physical prints.

* PopCultureUrbanLegends: There have been plenty of unconfirmed rumors regrading Kirara's future anime throughout the years, including the likes of a new ''Manga/{{Yuyushiki}}'' OriginalVideoAnimation, a second season to ''Manga/KillMeBaby'', a fifth season of ''Manga/HidamariSketch'' or a ''Manga/SchoolLive'' animated film.



** There were rumors of a second season to ''Manga/KillMeBaby'' being developed in the late 2010s (including an infamous fake image leak in February 2021), though it seems nothing has come out of it if it was ever actually considered by Kirara or JC. Given the manga is still ongoing, it isn't too unlikely to think it may have been considered.
** Likewise, rumors of a fifth season to ''Manga/HidamariSketch'' occurred during the mid 2010s, though it seems it may have been mistaken for the 2013 SeriesFinale OVA. The unfortunate death of main cast member Creator/MiyuMatsuki in late 2015, alongside the declining popularity and infrequent release schedule of ''Hidamari Sketch'' likely prevented another season if one was ever planned at the time.

* ExecutiveMeddling: As mentioned by the authors of ''Manga/UraraMeirocho'' and ''Manga/StardustTelepath'', Kirara's editors have plenty of control when it comes to the manga that run in their magazines, and they have more interest in reusing certain character archetypes and dynamics that follow a similar formula. An example of how old their meddling is dates back to ''Manga/HidamariSketch'', where Creator/UmeAoki wanted Hiro to have been revealed to be a WholesomeCrossdresser, but this was rejected by her editors.

* SequelGap: Most Kirara adaptations usually take 3-5 years from their manga debut to become TV shows. The fastest was ''K-on!'' in just two years from its 2007 debut in 2009, while ''Manga/ThreeLeavesThreeColors'' had the longest from its 2003 manga release to its 2016 anime premiere.
