From what I heard Sasmeki koto didn't catch on, so they never finished it. Damn.. I loved it though!! Apparently, Girlfriends didn't sell well enough for it to become an anime.. which is insane. They could have at least given us 12 eps. T_T
Loving this pic!

I actually dislike the way Sasameki Koto and Aoi Hana anime were made.
Not the animation or plot difference - but they're basically made anime only for the start of series. Including Girlfriends in that list, all of those mangas are pretty slow, they start with atmosphere, and relations, and ...there's not much plot happening. So having "first season" anime with hopes of later continuation is a bad approach.
If Girl Friends got 12-episode season, it would mean it's the only season it gets, period.

The only one of these things that got a PROPER treatment was Maria-sama ga Miteru, really. And that was a miracle. It even gave the ilght novelist creative control, and consulted her illustrator, who also drew the manga, for animation design. Ironically, the last two seasons of Marimite were Yumi and Touko, which is not even 1% as compelling as Yumi and Sachiko, AND it wasn't a novel-like series like Aoi Hana or Sasameki Koto or Girl Friends. Plus season four had a pretty desperate opening, really. In all 3 cases they should have given them series, said to hell with first-year ratings, and set themselves apart going forward. A solid 3-season commitment and lots of promotion. Look at how Suzumiya Haruhi pissed away half of its second season. It's not like anime never takes chances for artistic reasons. Of the 3, Aoi Hana is the most nonsensical to have given only one season. Even completely eliminating the little theater of whatever and little women things, you don't really get anything from the two main characters until the last third.
