No Second Season for Aoi Hana

Fuji TV producer Kouji Yamamoto has publicly confirmed that last year’s Aoi Hana television series will not get a second season due to poor DVD sales of the first season. Yamamoto said, “We made an extremely high-quality anime called Aoi Hana, but the DVDs didn’t sell so a second season hasn’t been made.”

While not entirely surprising, this is a disappointing confirmation, as Aoi Hana was one of last year’s finest anime (see my best of 2009 picks). Unfortunately, as has always been the case, thoughtful, methodically paced, dramatic and artistic anime has never been as popular as stylish, fast paced, exciting and humorous anime.
