That would definitely be nice, but I rather doubt it. There's only the one novel, which was serialized in a magazine for an absurd amount of time before it was finished (I want to say between four and six years!). The author has talked about writing another novel, which would probably serve as the base for another season of Another (see what I did there?), but we don't know for sure.

Of course, we've seen other anime take off and depart from the source material (such as the brilliant second season of Full Metal Panic! which had absolutely nothing to do with either the light novels or the manga), but there are also times when this is a serious misstep, such as the third Jurassic Park movie.

I really enjoyed this series, and the thing that more than anything has kept me from watching the OVA is that it's a prequel and not a continuation of the story (which is what I really want). The only other way we can keep up with Another is through fan fiction, but those (I kid you not) seem to all be the same (Mei and Kouichi get married, etc...), and in any case I usually prefer the real deal to cheap substitutes.

It'd be interesting to see season 2 as contemporary (or maybe, say, 2008), with the survivors from the 1998 class having grown up but still more or less involved in the curse in some ways, or at least some one-shots to touch bases. I'd like to know where everyone is and how they're coping with things.

What would you like to see in a season 2?
