I received a email telling me that my account in BAF is dead. Well, in spite of the situation of my account, i will post a mail to reactivate my modest participation here. As i said, i am moderator in Goddess Project and here i got troubles to access and to get level to access to info that i wanna see. That´s why i don´t write here, because the moderators don´t wanna say me anything about how i can get a better level of user here.
Well, i will post relevant information of the third season as i posted GP few days ago, for your information. I hope to not generate disturbing to us.

This time, i´m gonna talk about facts, just facts.
First: the sales in Japan are steady and AMG always has good sales (that´s the reason why on 22 will sale the game and the 23 will sale the new episodes)
Second: as we know through Pixiebell and Goo.net, the only obstacle to do a third season is Hidenori Matsubara, he got too many job with Evangelion and other projects (Red Garden actually) Godha can return without troubles but Matsubara is the responsible of the animation and the series is not the same without him.
Third: The new director of the episode 24 (Hiroshi Akira) and the new director of painting (Jun Watanabe, colaborator of Matsubara in the second season) are trying to fit the style of animation to the manga style, we don´t know if the new team of production are ready to do a third season in this moment, it would depend of how well received is the new episodes between the fans, the critics and the animators. In this case, as pixiebell said, Matsubara only will take the supervision and the project would be alright.
Fourth: the ratings of AMG this year were not good bcause there were some elements against the series (the soccer world cup, the competence with Fate/Stay Night and the time of broadcasting), other element was the sense of the timeline of AMG, the love story and the script of the episodes (in some cases, very near to the manga or very bizarre to the manga). The team of production tried to fix this trouble with the episodes 21 and 22 but it was late to do it. The new team are proposing with the episodes 23 and 24 give an equilibria and new sense to the story.
Sometimes i feel like Keiichi-chan (very positive to not to do a third season) but i was looking the statistics of sales and i wonder that the series sells good with this low rating. That´s a reason to recreate the series into a third season, but now is a risk that the new team of production must to calculate to do it because they have fear to do it bad.
The decision is now on the mind of Matsubara, not Godha. TBS wants to air a third season but the team of production have doubts and Fujishima and the team of production of the series must talk to coordinate the activities towards the 20th Aniversary of AMG in this days.
