What are the chances of a third TV anime season?

There have been OVAs, theatrical versions, and other anime developments, but the TV series has not been produced for more than six years after the second season aired in winter 2014.
However, the TV series hasn’t been produced for more than six years, with the second season airing in winter 2014. Under such circumstances, what are the chances of a third season?
First, let’s examine the stock.
As is the case with other 4-panel manga works, the anime of “Seitokai Yakuindomo” is composed of short episodes from the original work, not in the same order as the original work.
The latest OAD that comes with the limited edition of volume 18 includes episodes from volume 16, but there are still enough uncompleted episodes from the original work to last for a whole school year.
Therefore, it is possible to make a third season if you want to, but …… it is unlikely that a third season of Student Council Member Kyo will actually be realized in recent years.
The main reason is that the OAD development has been a success and there is no reason to change the current course.
The first season of the TV series sold an average of just over 6,000 discs, and the second season sold about 4,000 discs, while the limited edition comics with OAD sold around 20,000 copies each time.
After that, the sales are considered to have dropped as expected, but even so, it would be more profitable to make one school’s worth of OAD than to make one school’s worth of TV series.
That’s why even the disc of the movie version, which should have been sold separately, was included in the limited edition of the 16th volume of the comics. (It was released separately a year later.)
The limited edition with OAD of Seitokai Yakuindomo has a long history, and has been released without fail since volume 5 released in 2011.
The limited edition with OAD has a long history and has been released every single time since the 5th volume was released in 2011, and will continue for the 19th volume to be released on September 17, 2020.
If it wasn’t working, there would be no point in continuing to this extent.
A similar example is “Strike the Blood”.
Since the first TV anime aired, this work has become so well established that four OVAs have been produced, and it has maintained a very strong popularity, but the second TV anime season has not been produced for seven years.
However, the second season of the TV anime has not been produced for seven years, probably because the OVA development is going well and there is no need to make a TV series.
The same situation seems to be true for Seitokai Yakuindomo, so I must say that it is difficult to plan a third TV anime season now.
In what kind of case could a third term be possible?

As mentioned above, it is unlikely that there will be a third season of Seitokai Yakuindomo, but that does not mean that there will be none.
It is possible that the series will conclude with a TV series.
In the case of popular and hit works, there are rare cases where the conclusion is produced after several years when the original work comes to an end.
In the past, it was “Inuyasha”, and in recent years, it has been “Tokyo Ghoul” and “I knew my love comedy was wrong”. and so on.
However, it must be taken into consideration that these works were in a situation where the sales of the original works were so great that it was easy to secure production costs.
Although the original work of “Seitokai Yakuindomo” was also quite a hit, with a total of 4.25 million copies sold, the aforementioned work is an order of magnitude higher.
It’s hard to say whether the anime will be able to complete the story in the same way.
In recent years, it has become popular to secure funding by signing up with Amazon Prime Video or Netflix and selling exclusive distribution rights, and there are more options for making sequels than there were six years ago, including crowdfunding.
Nevertheless, there is also the issue of whether fans who are accustomed to the extremes of the OVA (such as the lifting of restrictions by beeping sounds) will be satisfied with a highly restricted TV series now ……, and it is estimated that it will be quite difficult to go ahead with a third season.
Summary
Seitokai Yakuindomo’ Association has always given the impression of being a work that is all about the bottom line, but in fact, the percentage of the bottom line has been decreasing little by little, and in recent years, there have been times when the majority of the stories have been heartwarming.
I can’t wait to see what will happen next to this work, which has already passed the 500th issue mark, making it the second oldest series in the magazine after Ippo!
