I figure if Kimagure Orange College can lurch back to life after
God-knows-how-long between episodes (wasn't that originally considered one

part of Ta'averen 1/2 out.  (Stop gloating, you two.  And you know who you
are.)

Oi, oi...KOC does a lot of things, but "lurch" wasn't what I had in mind...:-)

So what was the sign of apocalypse?  KOC ending or restarting?

KOC (and BSSR) got put on hiatus for basically the same reason Ta'averen did;
a 100hr/week job that I held for about a year before quitting.  It also took
me some time to spin back up, even after I left that company.  And like you, I
always had the occasional letter asking for the series to continue.

Good luck on restarting.  It's tough; I know; I've been there.  I don't think
KOC has (or ever will) regain the recognition it had before it went on hiatus
and I lost many good pre-readers during my hiatus.
