As it is, in the eyes of many anime only viewers, Medaka Box is tainted goods, and to them, Season 2 might as well be full of the same "Love-Comedy cum Slice of Life BS" even if we manga viewers know that Season 2, unless they somehow butcher it in a spate of amazing creativity this Gainax B team has never displayed yet would be even more classically Action-Shounen than the Unzen Arc. But some of those - many infact, who stuck around would be going : Where on Earth is my Slice of Life/Comedy/Student Council Hijinx fix? This isn't Medaka Box. This is just another action Shounen.

They could put smiling Anshin'in right in the first ep of season 2 saying "Hey if you're getting bored wait till we get to the Minus arc". I'd totally be dying from laughter.
Or on a more serious note, they could animate Good Loser Kumagawa as an OVA at the end of season 2. By then, Abnormalities - and maybe Minuses - would have already been introduced, and it wouldn't spoil anything but All Fiction, really.
