The first LN volume got an honorable mention at the 4th KyoAni Awards. The same award is given to Chuunibyou, Kyoukai no Kanata, and Free.

Free didn't get an honorable mention, High Speed did. The former is just a derivative work of the latter.

There is going to be a plot twist. I'm pretty sure Kyoani is planning a season 2 for this. I don't know much about the light novels but I do know that Vol. 2 is really different from Vol. 1 and it takes place in a whole new setting and it's a huge twist. So if Kyoani is planning to animate that, I think it's worth looking forward to.
The problem is that this season covered only Volume 1 and plus had so many filler episodes. I felt like it would've been better if Kyoani had just introduced the plot twist/vol 2 around episode 7 or 8 but I guess they didn't want to rush things and wanted a whole new start for a potential Season 2? It's just that I feel like because they dragged out the anime, they already lost quite a few regular Kyoani viewers...

I kinda just want a Season 3 of Haruhi already. Maybe they aren't doing it because of the issues Aya Hirano had? Idk...

On Haruhi season 3, I personally found this an interesting read: https://ultimatemegax.wordpress.com/2013/06/20/the-reasoning-behind-a-lack-of-haruhi-s3/
Can't say they're right, but I do wonder if some of that is why we may never see more Haruhi anime.

On topic, while I enjoyed the characters in Phantom World, I was disappointed by the ending. I do hope for a 2nd season, as I want to see more of Mai and co, but I can't say that the way they wrapped up the series is why I want to see more.

Personally, I enjoyed the "monster of the week" formula they used over the final 2-parter they gave us. And, while some are saying that this is one of the worst KyoAni shows they've seen, I personally rate it higher than Eupho. Seeing as only one of them consisted of 13 episodes, where I didn't enjoy the first 8.
