Hey guys first off, let's all agree on something here: Sakurasou no pet na Kanojo has been a phenomenal ride. It made us smile, laugh, depress and even cry. <---Anything that can accomplish that is hands down amazing.

Now let's cut to the chase. I can rant on all day about how much this needs a second season but tl:dr, there are two factors that contributes to creating an anime.

1. Sales drive production: Signing petitions will have little or next to none impact to the developers decision of producing a second season. Let's be realistic, creating an anime (24 episodes long) costs on average 3-4 million AUD! They need people to buy the DVDs and merchandise to cover the initial cost + gain profit. 20000 DVD sales will promise you a second season not 20000 signatures on an online petition.

2. Resources to adapt for the anime: Here's the good news however, Sakurasou has an adequate amount of LN volumes to adapt to for a second season. The anime finished at the end of volume 6, leaving V7,8,9,10 to adapt. Presuming they continue at 6 volumes for 24 episodes, if they do make a season 2 we will only have around 16 full episodes. This means we might see a 1-cour (12-13 episode) second season or 2 or 3 OVAs. Don't cry yet, a chance of a full second season is still closer to possible than impossible. There are side volumes such as 7.5 and 10.5 that JC staff might decide to use and convert them to episodes as well.

Sakurasou Season 1 has left numerous loose ends and open hints that can easily be lead to a second season. Let's hope that we will see Mashiro in action again <3 (for all you mashiro lovers <3). Each night we sleep is one night closer to the second season, never give up hope.

Hey, what colour do you want to be?- Mashiro (How this incredible anime started)
