ひだまりスケッチ 沙英・ヒロ卒業編
Hidamari Sketch Hiro/Sae Sotsugyou-hen

At the Hidamari event today it was announced that the "graduation story" for Sae and Hiro will be animated. Format (TV series, special, movie, etc) not confirmed.

This is going to be fucking great, but oh man, so, so many tears are going to be shed. ;_;

At this point, can Hidamari Sketch take whatever amount of time they want? Hidamari Sketch SP took 50 minutes. Can the Graduation story take 100 minutes, that's equal to four tv episodes?

We're focusing on Hiro and Sae, but what about Natsume? The door will close on her...FOREVER!

The main reason I want a lot of time for this, at least half a cour worth, is that while Honeycomb did a good job depicting the struggles of graduation from Hiro and Sae's perspective (though there's still much more that can be done there), it's still rather abstract for their kouhai. Yuno, Miyako, Nazuna and Nori know the third-years will graduate, but I don't think they really understand just what that truly means yet. I don't think they've come to terms with how profoundly that's going to change their world, how it will change Hidamari-sou.

We're focusing on Hiro and Sae, but what about Natsume? The door will close on her...FOREVER!

I could easily watch a whole cour about nothing other than Natsume's emotional struggle to come to terms with this. It would be one of the most unimaginably heartbreaking stories ever animated, but my god it would be amazing beyond description.

Screenshots at the first link, second video at the other is the PV though hell if I can get it to load right now.

But PV already makes it seem guaranteed it'll just be a short special (special on the website doesn't mean "tv special" though, it just means bonus stuff on the website). ;_:

I was definitely hoping for more than that... ;_;
