Hmmm I wouldnt call it a sequel... alternate retelling? Spin off? The main character will be another girl unknown from the previous series.

It's a spinoff TV series, not a sequel.

Spin-off?? So that means the male protagonist isn't here?! What a letdown Sad... I bet those Harem Romantic Comedy-type watchers are going to be disappointed.... Especially the patronizers of the MC.

So is this like Soul Eater Not; mostly concentrates on the girls with some interaction of the original cast?

The school has some interesting touches which wasn't covered by the main series but I'd rather have a continuation of the same characters because it has a premise and a plot.

im not expecting a sequel to the main series, wasn't it pretty much confirmed there would be none because the sales were too low?

The sales were kind of average as I recall. It didn't bomb, but not instant renewal numbers either. However, with all these things, video numbers aren't everything, if it did enough to pump up light novel and manga sales, and they need a further boost another series could be made. There's all sorts of things to consider before writing future installments off, lots of which aren't in the public domain.

Maybe if it'll raise the LN's sales figures enough, then a 2nd Hidan no Aria season is possible?

Yet Sora no Woto is still only one season and two OVA episodes.

Pretty unlikely. The original anime sold hardly any copies. Might mean they do another season of this if this sells well though.

They were bad enough that the author made a comment about needing higher numbers if there was going to be a chance of S2. Sure, its not like it was the worst selling show ever or something.

A spin-off? I guess I will watch it but I am pretty sure I will still prefer the main story.

For those of you quick to point out low sales of the first series, why the hell woudl they green light a spin off, Railgun is an aberration not the norm, most spin offs are all but guaranteed to be worse and sell worse than the original, so clearly if they are going to do a anime of a spin off, then there was something there.

The original anime didn't sell badly at all, which is why some questioned the author's claims. Sales weren't fantastic, but they reached a level (>5000 copies per volume) that's normally good enough to justify continuation. Source material received a decent boost, so it was a solid run overall.

The numbers didn't compel anyone to rush out and produce a sequel, but that doesn't necessarily imply failure.
