Any More Specials In Fumoffu?

Are there actually only two specials in Fumoffu--the bread-selling one and kidnapping one? My friend--who has a friend who lives in Japan--told me she saw several more 'hidden' special episodes, but I don't remember them all, since I haven't seen them myself.

Until I actually SEE this mythical ep, I wouldn't put money on it.
Maybe it was a doujinshi-created work... or a short that should
NOT have been released, but still managed to make it out.

Oh, Kaname hater? Report to the 'We Love Tessa' thread

We can
use more of you there!

...after that it's a run-thru the BBQ... don't worry, it's paaaaaaainless

I don't think it's a doujinshi. The stuff seems to me like it's distinctly by Gonzo or whoever made it. I've never heard of doujinshi anime. Wouldn't that be hard and tedious to make? And what about the voices and stuff? Yeah, you could change your voice with some programs on a computer, but it'd be a huge bother to make, even if you were a diehard fan. (Though if fans were to actually make an episode, I'd think they'd make it on Sousuke/Chidori fluff instead.)
This is just one of the hidden specials. The other ones are all random Sousuke/Chidori humor and their blooming 'romance' and school adventures.
I heard there are actually 48 episodes in all, both seasons. That means a lot of unaired, not-so-great specials from Fumoffu that somehow managed to make it out but were probably badly made or drawn so they decided not to air them.
Too bad. I wanna see more FMP...

Did you see these hidden episodes, or were you just told about them?

I haven't been paying alot of attention to the Fumo DVD releases and I'm getting them as I can pick them up used, but on the 2 DVDs I have now, there are no hidden episodes, no special extras, no indication what so ever of more animation that was made but unreleased.

Think of it this way.
It costs GONZO money to produce a single episode. They can't just whip em off cheaply or quickly, and they want a good return for their work.
If they aren't going to get paid for an episode, they aren't going to make it. They aren't going to 'hide' episodes, if they have alot of episodes that nobody has seen yet, they would make a huge deal about it so people will pay money to see them.

As I said, until I/you/anyone else actually gets their hands on an
ACTUAL copy, it's all rumors to me. This kinda stuff always crops
up, where so-and-so says 'oh, there's an extended version of this,'
or 'they made much more of that,' etc.

BTW, Gonzo was only involved in the first 'season' of FMP! (first 24 eps),
they had nothing to do with the second (Kyoto Animation).

Yeah, I was walking upstairs just now and the Gonzo thing hit me- Gonzo didn't even do Fumo... it was Kyoto.

Good points. And no, I have not seen them, but someone I know who's seen all of them told me about them. You're right, they could be doujinshi. And so could that horrible episode 14 from the first season. No, I'm just kidding.

No, I think they're in Japan right now. Or in some other city. I forgot where. I'd like to see them myself, too.
