Awwww.
 I loved that series and would have loved to have seen more since I don't believe the manga has been licensed here in the US. Although, I'd be thrilled if it got licensed here, it got taken off of CR a while back and it's pretty short to boot. Come oooonnnn Nozumi!
Yep, it'll be on the noitaminA channel this winter, I doubt it'll do any better but fingers crossed that it's good! |

I liked the series, and it's sad to hear it won't continue, but it did suffer from what a lot of people describe - slow pacing and a lack of spunk. Sasameki Koto was basically Aoi Hana only with a lot more cute energy interjected into it. SImply put, the series lacked moe, and this, it lacked sales.

I have not seen Aoi Hana yet; however, it’s a shame that a second season will not be made. I am a huge yuri fangirl (for obvious reasons) and I really hope that Sentai ends up getting the license for Aoi Hana and Sasameki Koto so that way I can watch them!

This was even on the table for a second series? That last episode wrapped things up as neatly and positively as an ongoing manga story could, so I figured there wasn't much chance for more from the start...
Too bad. A second season would have been nice. Then again, I think one of the things going for Aoi Hana was that it had such a good, lean story (no fillers). The manga needs to play itself out a bit more before I think it would be even ready for a season 2 treatment. |

Well, since I wasn't expecting another season, it isn't that much of a loss, but the lack of DVD sales is kinda sad. Aoi Hana had some really beautiful artwork, but the story really wasn't there, and there wasn't much value in rewatching the series (which might explain the lack of sales).
Also, look at the competition. Airing in the same season were two other yuri-tinged shows: Kanamemo (male-oriented ecchi yuri) and Canaan (action with yuri overtones). Plus there was also Spice and Wolf II, which would have stolen the serious anime crowd, Taishou Yakyuu Musume, aimed at the female demographic, as well as a little show called Bakemonogatari. Just looking at the summer 09 shows, I personally would have put Aoi Hana fifth or sixth on my priority list, and it looks like most of my Japanese counterparts had similar opinions. My sympathies to the fans of Aoi Hana, you were doomed by bad luck and market forces. |

Though Aoi Hana was mysteriously taken off Crunchyroll (maybe the same problem of not enough viewers?) you can still watch Sasameki Koto there. Since the chance of a license is slim I would watch it soon (incase it too vanishes). I liked Sasameki more than Aoi Hana since it (oddly?) felt more realistic to me. (I enjoyed both though!) |

Fuji Creative had simulcasted it on CR (with a large set of allowed countries too iirc). They know exactly how popular it is with outside audiences. |

I don’t watch anime online…including crunchroll. I am just hoping that an R1 company will someday license these two series on DVD/Blu-Ray.

I've only just got into scissoring videos so it's a shame there won't be anymore as I've grown a taste for it. I always had trouble telling the difference between this and the other yuri series that out at the around the same time who also had a girl with long black hair and glasses... what was it's bloody name?
Stopped watching this series when it started on the "romeo and juliet" play story line with the girl who looked exactly like a boy, couldn't see the point in watching the show when you can't tell the couple are gay until they get their fannies out. |

@Gentry:
*face palm* Anyway, in the civilized sphere of anime viewership... honestly, I did like the first season, but that's because I like the manga, not because it blew my socks off. I wouldn't have bought the DVDs either. While it saddens me that more of this excellent series won't be brought to the screen, there's still the manga -- and I would like very much if someone would license it, please? Otherwise, I for one will be buying Wandering Son by the same author to show that there's an audience for this kind of work. |

10 most popular that season was (Dengeki online) (excluding Haruhi S2, due to it being unexpected): 1. Bakemonogatari 2. Saki 3. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood 4. CANAAN 5. Umineko no Naku Koro ni 6. Valkyria Chronicles 7. GA: Geijutsuka Art Design Class 8. Dragonball Kai 9. Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 10. Phantom ～Requiem for the Phantom～ That's biased to otaku stuff obviously, but that's what sells disks. Saki already had the "traditional" seinen yuri crowd hooked. Aoi Hana didn't make the top 10 for shows people were anticipating before the season either. Personaly dropped it due to feeling realy slow, and there was pleanty else that season that I enjoyed more. May have survived if it was in noitaminA, but simply had no presence/hype by itself. |

what about breast, panty, butt, rip clothes and sexy show like high school of the dead, oriemo, To Aru Kagaku no Railgun, To Aru Majutsu no Index II, Occult Academy, Motto To Love-Ru and Strike Witches?
Is yuri popular in America? |
