Kaichou wa maid-sama will not have a 초 season. Why? Because it did not sell well in Japan. Yes, JAPAN. For a japanese anime, it doesn't matter how 인기 it is outside japan. It could be 인기 in the US, Canada, Spain, Philippines, 당신 name it! BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS, if it sells like crap in Japan, like Maid-sama did, there will be NO 초 season. Maid-sama averaged 800 copies per volume. That is a MAJOR LOSS.
For an 아니메 to at least not be a loss, it MUST sell 2500-3000 copies. 초 seasons are considered only if it has 6000 copies 또는 more.
While international popularity is good, its the japanese popularity which matters the most.
Ironically, most of the time, other than big titles like naruto, stuff which sells in 일본 doesn't sell well in the US. ^^' Yea weird.
If 당신 really wanna know, 당신 know 나루토 and One Piece? 당신 know how 인기 나루토 is in the US and One Piece is in the sidelines a bit? One Piece sells 2 million copies per volume now while 나루토 only sells 800,00 copies per volume.
Now, a little word of advice. 다음 time 당신 like an 아니메 , instead of only watching it for free, buy the ORIGINAL DVD from Japan(yes, its possible 당신 can buy from 아마존 일본 which can be viewed in english) and SUPPORT the author. Spread the word! Yea, sad. Wish there would be a season 2 too though :/
