Hanasaku Iroha

Although with Tohru it would depend on the position he had advanced to. He might not want to return to be the second cook if he had already gained a higher position elsewhere (that didn't suck as a workplace either).

Ah, that won´t be a problem, though, since he´ll be busy running the household and looking after the children, while Minchi, the mother, works as a second cook at the inn, which wouldn´t be a problem for her. :P:P:P

The wraparound jacket band on the first volume of Jun Sasameyuki's Hanasaku Iroha Green Girls Graffiti manga announced on Friday that a new Hanasaku Iroha anime adaptation has been green-lit for next year.

The production committee of the Hanasaku Iroha television anime series had announced in October that it was producing a "new visual work" of Hanasaku Iroha next year, but it did not specify if the new work was animated or not.

Hanasaku Iroha Gets New Anime in 2012

Ho... I'm not complaining, though I wonder what's going to happen in it; the first season ending was somewhat conclusive for a show like this. Will the story take place years later and they are reopening the inn?

[Buffalobiian]

Hah.. no idea. As long as the main cast is returning, I don't think I'll care much neither. Might get that 2012 Hanasaku Iroha tabletop calendar after all...

Hanasaku Iroha the Movie - Home Sweet Home - Hatsuyuki

At first I got scared with the flashback of Ohana's mom, thinking the whole movie is going to be about her, but fortunately that didn't end up being the case, and in fact I quite enjoyed the revelations about her history. Other than that, it was largely a "more of the same" story, taking place during the series' timeline. Jolly good in any case. Watching this refreshed my memories nicely of why I liked the show in the first place.

[Buffalobiian]

I liked the focus on Satsuki. She's got the energy of Ohana but is able to direct that somewhere. She's kind of like a cross between Minchi and Ohana. It's a given that she's good eyecandy as well.

I didn't realise that Ohana's dad died though. Maybe they talked about it really early on in the series, but it was never something that they focused on. It was indeed "more of the same", both in that it was the same Hanasaku Iroha that we've been watching, as well as that even though the characters "learn" something new or adopt a new outlook, they usually perform the same tasks the day after anyway.

I wouldn't mind a sequel if they could come up with a decent conclusion to the events of the anime. I think Kissuisou was closing down or something because of financial losses.

No, it was closing down because the grandma considered it her and her late husband's project. As big a slave driver as she was, she still didn't want to bind the others to the inn after she's gone. Though a financial situation is always a big concern with such enterprises, and the place wasn't any gold mine. Furthermore, I reckon it would need some expensive renovations (they might have even said it in the show, I can't recall).
