I enjoyed the first 2 OVAs of this, would like to see more. Though, this did catch my eye.

...and also said that he would like to speed up the pace on animation production from episode four onward.

The animation for the first 2 OVAs wasn't good...at all. It didn't detract from my enjoyment of the story, so I do like the sounds of more than 4 episodes.

Also, is Hori-Miya a spin off? I was under the impression that it was an alternative version of the original story. Rather than being a mostly comedic 4-koma like Hori-san to Miyamura-kun, Hori-Miya has comedy but some more romance than it predecessor.

Would like to see either series come out in the west.

It's kind of a remake of the original 4-panel manga, with higher quality art and not written in 4-panel style.

Oh, I hope it could just be a full series anime instead of OVAs already.
The first two OVAs were pretty bland, but I'm hoping a lot from this third one.

^^ That. It is a re-telling with a different artist, not a spin-off. I very much prefer the manga version as opposed to the original 4-panel web version. The art is really good and the story concentrates more on the romance than the 4-panel, which has more of a humor emphasis, from what I have been able to read. (Not that the manga version is not funny...)

I wasn't impressed with the first two OVAs, but I like the the comments about "episode four onward". Very promising.

However, I would really love to see Horimiya turned into a TV anime... (With art based on the manga version, not the 4-panel web manga, that is)

Yeah, I found the use of spin-off to be a strange selection.

I seem to be the only one who has posted that enjoyed the story in the first 2 OVAs. Laughing

Thought they were funny/cute, even though the animation was poor.

Sought out some Horimiya, looks like a manga I could get into. Will wait to see if it ever gets big enough to get licensed. Laughing
