Kyoto Animation have finally confirmed that Chuunibyou de mo Koi ga Shitai’s second TV season is in production, much to the relief of desperate Rikka fans everywhere.
The announcement comes by way of an early issue of Newtype featuring a pin-up proclaiming the advent of the new season, which was soon followed up by official Twitter confirmation:
Given that the conclusion of the first season effectively removed any point to a continuation of the original’s “rescue Rikka from chuunibyou escapism” plot, there have been some understandable doubts voiced about the viability of the second season for anything other than sheer moeblobbery or gag value – although from the perspective of its main fanbase, this may well be regarded as an improvement.

I am 100% sure that even if KyoAni were to announce the next season of FMP, the comments would still be full of whinging.
... I will not whining, as long as they keep the original art, and character for sure.
Especially if it is Fumoffu 2.
Kabaddi kabaddi kabaddi kabaddi kabaddi *flop*
paaji? O.O What are you doing here?
We all knew it would happen...So...WOOHOO :) I like this one, can't wait for the next season.
Well, not everyone. Many plebs are too lazy to read the light novels let alone bother to look for translations.
Why the hell is her eye yellow? Fail on the animator's part...
it shows that you didn't watch the first season.
I'm glad they will be adapting the second book. I'm looking forward to seeing Sophia Ring SP Saturn VII animated, and more of Kazari Kannagi. The books were not about "saving Rikka from her chuunibyou". That part was anime original. The books were about Yuuta and Rikka dating.
KyoAni became the ultimate troll studio ever. Instead of giving us another season of FMP, Haruhi or Lucky Star, they insist with this moeblob shit and, even worse, fall to the next level with that gay swimming anime. What's next, a genderbent Tamako Market?
So you are saying that Haruhi is good... and Lucky Star isn't moe "shit"...
delicious brown queen looking for male marriage candidate...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Lust bitch...
Or Gluttony. Or what have you.
They also happen to be working on an anime adaptation of Dark souls. But it will be written by the same writer as K-ON so the plot is about Slice-of-life of being an undead in Lodran.
Uncute warrriors doing cute things...sort of.
You serious? That won't work. Now, a Dark Souls slice-of-life featuring Priscilla would work very well.
Funny enough, KyoAni has been busy animating Haruhi Novel 7 for years already. Fans will know that can't even begin until lose ends have been tied up in a third season.
They'll be a huge amount coming all at once, just wait a little while longer.
i guess the later half of FMP is too serious for them.
Haruhi and Lucky Star can be justified with Aya Hirano quitting being seiyu. But FMP...
Actually, Hirono is reprising her role as Konata for the Lucky Star spinoff.
What was the whole deal with her being "banned" from doing any voice work?
Hooorrrrrayyyyy.
FMP can be justified with not being nearly as lucrative as their later shows have been - and that was back when it was new. For KyoAni to go back to FMP now would be like saying "We decided to stop making money". It would be stupid of them to do so.
Then why did they make Tamako Market?
That's not what Tamako Market and Nichijou showed.
Why did they make Tamako Market? Because they didn't know it wouldn't be a hit, obviously. Most people can't see the future. Don't be an idiot.
lol "instead of Lucky Star, they prefer this moeblob shit"
i know Lucky Star ain't a shit, but is sure as hell a moeblob too, but on the better sides
I am not into the super-moe art direction, but the comedic plot made it worth watching.
Fuck off hater, just because they won't please you doesn't mean that they've turned for worse. Have patience fucktard.
just face it, kyoanus is the most overrated studio that can't be successful without relying on moeshit antics. Now Madhouse, that's a true quality studio that makes lots of good anime right there.
Even as a Chuuni fan, I feel this is unnecessary. The series ended on a completed note and there are a number of OVAs to add more to the fun and show more of the characters interacting. Honestly, it will be nice seeing the cast come back but the fear is that it will just be a season filled with nothing but "comedy" and that will end up defining the show as exactly what people think at first glance: A moe show with no depth and stupid jokes. Praying that KyoAni don't take it down the sequel-ruining route.
But on the other hand, I feel there is a chance here to develop the main pair's relationship and actually solve their issues little by little, instead of going "fuck that shit lol BANISHMENT DIS WARUDO!"
Sisyphus route unlocked.
Without Tooka this show is trash
they actually didn't include another main character from the light novels, they'd probably put her in the mix.
Well it's loosely based considering the fact that Dekomori is an original character for the anime, meaning she doesn't even exist in the novels
On that note Rika's older sister Toka and Kumin are anime original too. but yeah it's weird they created new characters for the anime and left out Satone from the novels
>A moe show with no depth and stupid jokes.
It's not just that? The fuck? Is it the next bible?
The Bible - The Anime...
Banishment, this world!
Let me correct your grammatical mistake:
Banishmento dis waraudo!
will she finally be sex fantasy this heaven?!
reporting in: high amounts of headache.
This pleases me. As long as we get more Dekomori, I'll be very happy.
Nibutani is my need. Hopefully she will continue to make the world a better place and find true happiness for herself. One of the best minor characters ever.
I don’t know, if i’m excited or not.
Ahh what the neko, i’m going to look forward to more Deko x Nibutani.
They had trouble with Tamako's sales. They went for the safe option of a proven IP. Chuu2's sales were one of the best in the last few years.
Safe option would have been FMP.
Safest option would have been Haruhi
And neither of these two IPs are for KyoAni to decide, but the original rights holder (Kadokawa in Haruhi's case).
Umm, the teaser for this aired at the end of Tamako's last episode. This has obviously been in the pipeline for a while. They didn't just decide this now because Tamako underperformed. These things just don't happen that fast.
Probably 'cause people were surprised at how much depth it actually had for a KyoAni big-eyed show.
