I can't wait to start watching this! I recently bought all of the Ranma 1/2 re-releases, so I've been slowly but surely making my way through that series. I'm like 1 season set short of a complete Inuyasha series too, and already rewatched like the first 100 so episodes. I miss the days when anime was expected to be at least 24-26 episodes. (Or it just seemed that way because of only watching them on adult swim/toonami and those were all longer running series) Takahashi's formula tends to be predictable and even repetative after a while, but it still works somehow.

I've already given up on figuring out the logic behind NHK-E's habit of renewing low-selling series, so I'll just be thankful that this pleasant show will get a second season. What I'm really hoping for, though, is that Baby Steps gets a third one.
I actually find the show's overall production quality quite nice, and comparable to Sunrise's work on Inuyasha. Having talented people like Hideyuki Motohashi, Takuro Shinbo and Yasuyuki Noda as part of the regular animation director rotation definitely helps.

I hope we'll also get to see Shoma and Kurosu, Right and Left, Kuroboshi, Matsugo and Anju.

I've been enjoying the show, but I'm still immensely disappointed it's streaming in the UK & Ireland.
It's streaming on Crunchyroll with English subs in the US, CA, AU & NZ, and Viewster have a bunch of weird European territories that it's been given English subs in, surely they could have persuaded either of those two to take it? |

Takakashi's UY is arguably the first prototype for the harem manga.

I think that another possible reason for the continuation of the RIN-NE anime, and manga, is the fact that Rumiko Takahashi has a huge catalog of previous work.
It would be good for her and her publisher to keep her name visible and make sure that new manga fans are aware of her. There are always new people coming along who are potential customers for the older books. Of course that makes sense only if those older books are still in print. From looking at Amazon Japan I can see that just about everything that she has written is available for sale, but I cannot tell how many of those are used books. Does anybody know if the older books are still being published? |

No idea of the accuracy of this, but it seems like UY at least got a new release in 2007. And, looks like InuYasha is currently being re-released, where these new editions began in 2013.
That is one series I'd like to watch/read. It'd be a long undertaking, but I do want to see what it is all about. |

It's funded by taxpayers, so I'm not sure if the producers are even supposed to pursue the project for an obviously commercial purpose (although it's fine as a side effect). As for a rationale for continuation, it's funded by taxpayers! The show was ostensibly greenlit for "educational" or "cultural" purposes (this kinda applies....as you say, Rumiko Takahashi is mammoth in the realm of manga), so NHK has nothing to lose. In fact, it's less work for them if they simply renew a show for multiple seasons instead of trying to scrape together something new each time. |
