Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. Zoku (Oregairu S2) [Anticipation]

[Pellissier]

Slightly anticipating the big announcement that was planned for April 18th, it's been confirmed that a second season of the anime "Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. (My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU)" is currently in production.
The announcement for the series, which is also most commonly known to as Oregairu, appeared on an advertisement poster for the series’ publisher Gagaga Bunko.



Not too much has been revealed for the second season of Oregairu, including whether or not the animation studio Brains Base will return.

Well, it's expected it had good sales and the novels keep doing well too.

[Tenzen12]

Even though there are only two new volumes, both of them contain bigger arcs, another volume is comming. So before it start be actual there might be four volumes plus it can be padded with some side story ommited from first season.

It might actualy work, though ending of whole things is supposed be around volume 12(plus minus), which means if Watari doesn't decide give closure bit sooner we might not get any this time either.

[Birdway]

Wait, are you saying the novel series is ending?

[Tenzen12]

Not anytime soon, volume six (final arc of anime) was called by Watari as mid-point. Now we are on volume 8 with v9 nearby.

Well, if ending was eleventh it might just make it before second season...

Wow. That came out of nowhere. Do you think this time they'll include some of Hachiman's finer moments?

[SuitUp]

Well, this was a no-brainer for the studio, the sales for SE1 were more than good, and the show was clearly produced on the cheap, I'm just curious to see what they will adapt, besides the latest volumes, since well, they rushed through 6 volumes in one season, the side histories, maybe?

[Guy Incognito]

happy day . so i guess they will not cut as much or it will be a really short season.

[com_gwp]

Not surprising news, but this came earlier than expected. What do they have, like 4 volumes to go on at the moment? You'd think they would wait for more material before a season 2.

[Nachtwandler]

They have 3 full volumes and a bunch of side-stories 2 volumes worth. Plus 1-2 more volumes will come before anime aires.

Well, that's enough for one-cour series.
Btw, i've just started to watch the first season. And it's truly epic, especially protagonist.

[R.LocK]

Truly best anime year.

[II Maestro]

Looking forward to this Season 2.

[tsunade666]

Good news indeed. Though I wish they will put more effort into it -_-

I remember almost a year ago now when they said a s2 is highly unlikely since the first season covered almost everything in the LN.

more 8man is always good though, hope the quality doesn't drop

I don't think the quality could drop any further than it was in season 1. Probably episode 1 and 11 were the only decently animated episodes.

That said, I'm looking forward to the roller coaster of emotions from volumes 7,8 and probably 9 animated.

I think they meant second season was unlikely to be out soon since the first season covered up to vol 6 and there were only 7 main volumes out at the time. I think it was mentioned the LN will end at vol 12 so maybe the second season will cover vol 7-12 and the anime ending will coincide with the LN ending. If this is true then second season will come out next year.

[Shadow5YA]

Three volumes is more than enough for an adaptation, even if the first season adapted 6 at a breakneck speed.

The only question is whether volume 9 will have a "good" stopping point like the school festival arc was. People do like their "happy" endings.

[RPG_Fanatic]

Yes. Loved the first season. Can't wait to see what happens next in the story.

[Kanon]

I'm all for more 8man. This is the only "love comedy" where I like the male lead better than any of the girls.
