This is a classic question, which has been discussed many times over the centuries. I thought I would again pose this question in order to supplement the opinions I have already read.
 
Well, aside from the obvious reasons 
Machine translations Incoherent sentences that distract from the story Poor word choice Lack of knowledge of the language(s) Do you prefer complex word choice? For example I have heard complaints about the translation of Sharin no Kuni, which I thought used a pretty wide vocabulary. I can admit that the comedy was impacted by the colorless language, but I still enjoyed the story overall. 
 
Here are a few quotes to get you thinking
 
"Regarding rating translations, I'm not sure. On the one hand, it would definitely help people looking to play vn make decisions about what to play, and how to interpret what they are playing. On the other hand, I fear it could lead to a sense of elitism, which is exactly what Fuwa tries to avoid. Maybe I'm just being overly pessimistic, but I can see it becoming a kind of hierarchy, which would push out the 'not as good' translators and not give them the chance to improve" (meru).
 
"When you’re translating (especially if you’re fairly new to the activity), you’re likely to spend too much time hanging out in the part of your brain that learns foreign languages, makes rational decisions and does math. ... It’s really hard to make simultaneous use of the writerly and rational parts of your brain, as brilliant translation requires" (http://www.asymptotejournal.com/blog/2014/11/17/the-tiff-what-makes-a-bad-translation/).
 
A few threads from the early days of Fuwanovel covered the same concepts.

If you haven't read these topics, you might want to. They are worth a good read.
 
And don't even get me started on Moenovel 

i'm pretty sure you can trust zeno on this one

Have you actually seen his profile? I see you didn't. Just because she's into fems doesnt make her a dude.



Uh? Ew, no! That'd hurt! I won't let you do that to my precious body!

Those are gross males. 

I never denied this fact.
I'm well aware everything in the love live universe, and most anime in general, is for the sole purpose of milking money out of people's pockets. This shouldn't surprise anyone.
 
But there's more subtle ways of milking money, and endless seasons is a terrible way of doing it for both the companies and the viewers.
I'm mostly arguing why it's terrible for the viewers and why it would turn whatever joy the initial seasons had into complete and utter crap.
Of course in the end, the final decision is dictacted by money, but if we go by this logic most anime discussions are pointless because in the end sales always do the talk and that's kind of a boring outlook on it.
So my main point in this whole thing was how a sequel would give this show bad continuity.
 
Just because an entire series is based off a money making machine, doesn't mean that money making machine can't be done right. It doesn't mean it can't have substance to it.
And introducing a new cast is basically the best way to keep the machine oiled instead of wearing it out until it can produce no more.

This thread is fantastic. starlessn1ght, please never leave this site. You're exactly what we've been looking for

This crap comes out but no K-on! We live in a mad world

It's going to be shit because it ruined something great. That's what makes it shit.

If only Hotaru were with her 

I played Saya no Uta and Yume Miru Kusuri with my ex when we were dating. I got another girl to play Saya when I first read it too, and she liked it although we didn't play it together. everybody likes some Saya

*obligatory 404 girlfriend not found*
On a serious note, I'll only probably do that if I'll be reading something like Rewrite. Reading something like Yume Miru Kusuri with just about anybody else would be kinda awkward. Then again, we wouldn't be together if she isn't weird or isn't aware of my weird hobbies.
 
. . . All this hypothetical thinking is making me want a girlfriend. I have enough already anyway in the 2D world ;-;

I am planning to read something short, like Phenomeno or Narcissu. If I ever get the chance.

Of course I have, she's right on the screen.

Well she's like super cute so...

For reference: She's 3 years younger than me (she'll turn 21 this year), about 1.5 feet smaller than me, she's pretty, blonde and she has a nice figure. Did I mention she's freaking adorable too?
 
Confession: I wanna post her picture but I probably should respect her privacy...

speaking of Non Non Biyori, why is this song so perfect

Kyouma's route continues!
