To be honest, I don't really think there's going to be a second season. I'm not quite sure how fans would handle a new cast taking over (especially if they haven't read the manga). It's also been three years now (two years since the OAV), and I wonder if the hype hasn't died down.
And of course there was that weird Gainax ending of the OAV, which made me wonder if that was the studio's way of saying goodbye to the series. But I could be wrong, and I hope I am this time.
