The author didn't even understand the characters he had written himself. Like Olba? Lucifer? kidnapping Chiho while she was unconscious meant he could use her insane jealousy as a power source, but then like one volume later the story was like "Normally Chiho would never get jealou-" No, stop right there, how do you not get what her defining characteristic as a love interest was?

The anime didn't mention the part about Chiho's jealousy being so absurdly directed and powerful, incidentally. Didn't mention she was part of the problem during that big conflict.

Seems like he came with a very good premise, but then fumbled the execution. Sad really.

The whole magic shortsge thing if I remember was something they added later too if I remember right.

I remember all of the rumors that the Anime were Chihiro fans because of how much attention she got.

The anime was actually nicer to Emi. She's quite unpleasant in the LN. Hataraku had a fantastic director. He made such a good anime out of such a lame LN.

So I just heard the news of the second season.

-sees last page-

And apparently this series end like crap. How nice.

Continuously reading, studying, and (hopefully) growing.

Maybe the second season will only adapt the good parts and not reach the supposedly crappy ending parts.

It won't get far enough to get to the ending of the series. The first season covered two volumes and the series has at least, what, twelve? I am personally hoping the director does a good job at (re)writing Emi in season two.

Wow this is a huge surprise.

With it being so long and the L Ns over it seemed impossible to get another season.

Is there some spin off or sequel series that this is advertising?

[up]x5: Huh? (*looks up earlier pages*) That ending's...less than ideal.

(Maybe they let the LNs and manga run their courses before figuring out where to go with the anime because I don't know?)

PV video:

(Monkey brain want more Emi in swimsuit real bad. The anime really got the short end of the stick when it came to fan art and magazine scans...)

[up] I literally have no clue. Maybe they'll elaborate more on the "what took so long" later on.

Cuz the director got accused of being a Chihiro fan and making Eri look bad.

By the way, did this show ever get some kind of artbook? I keep looking it up and get bupkis...

Heh. Four years ago, the original LN author was fairly certain the anime wasn't getting a season 2.

Talk about your irony of ironies, am I right?

EDIT: Upon closer reading, the article is more about the author saying it isn't up to him when a new anime season happens or not. Still pretty hilarious that we ended up getting a second season at all. (*internally cries about Panty & Stocking still not getting a second season*)

Emi is an unpleasant person. The anime focused on the Sitcom Arch-Nemesis aspect a more if I recall right.

I’ve pretty much tuned out everything of the books except for the basic plot lines as the first season is the best thing to come from this story.
