I'd be really surprised if this doesn't get a second round - especially considering the amount of material remaining and to come (think positive for the mangaka). The "buzz" is often more important than the nature -- and the franchise definitely has buzz.

Unlike some series, the reference gags were held mostly in balance so thumbs up over not trainwrecking the material totally in favor of short-lived gags. Years from now, no one may recognize just whose karaoke session Jin stumbled into accidentally but the episode will remain pretty entertaining (much like half the gags in a classic Looneytoon are totally lost on the modern generations yet the overall cartoon remains funny).
