Star Child sounds a lot like they’re making negima season 3, and Akamatsu has been hinting again in his diary. Actual details will be announced at the negima event on the 11th of Feb probably.
Also a big announcement is coming soon for Ore no imouto.

Your sister is making a big announcement? Shouldn’t you be worried?

@Nosgoroth: Wow.

Re: Negima - At 240,000 OADs (~80,000 for each) sold, that wouldn’t be a surprise. (Wasn’t it 100,000 for a 3rd season? ;p)

“Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii” ?
Gonzo still has more plans?

>Nosgoroth
I should be if she is! I’d be more worried finding out that I had a sister out of nowhere though!
>Pachael
Akamatsu actually said that they’ll consider a 3rd season if the sales for the first ep of the OAD exceeded 100,000, so technically the target was not reached
>Avisch
Ore no imouto ga konnani kawaii wake ga nai. Yeah.

This looks like every year ever since 1999.
Not like that’s an altogether bad thing.

I’m willing to bet an arm and a leg that Frontier Works is talking about Umineko. It’s so obvious, it’s not even funny.
January 30th, 2009 at 4:40 pm
Well Umineko anime should be a tad bit more then just planning stage by this point :)
Very interested how they gonna animate some of the scenes this time, specially a few in ep 2…..
