So much better than a compilation movie.

~Squee!

I'm pretty excited tbh. I can't wait to see Chamber in this assuming he makes a return.

Dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmn! I dislike these news. But I truly hope the production makes me eat my words, and I end up liking this sequel.

I'm quite surprised but I don't mind at all. Hopefully it'll be on CR.

I wasn't blown away by the original, but it was enjoyable enough for me to be happy about a second helping. The first series was a self-contained story, for sure, but there were enough intriguing elements put in play for me to be curious as to where things will go next.

I hope the sequel is more focused on the war, the first one went off the rails near the end.

Turned out to be a sequel after all. Ah well, I'm excited to see where this will go either way!

Very curious to see where they take this. I can't see how they can just pick up the story where they left off, as it seemed all sources of conflict had been subdued. Perhaps a prequel or a story focusing on a side character's backstory? I really enjoyed the first season, so I'll at least give the sequel a chance.

I thought the first season ended fine. I'm not sure what this would be about other than random shenanigans. Personally I would have preferred this be a two-cour show that added more stuff prior to the spoiler[reveal of the other future person] and more stuff from that point on until the final confrontation.

So excited for this!!! There is still plenty of ocean, treasures, factions, and internal political gamesmanship left unexplored that I think they could really get a good sequel out of it.

I sort of hope he doesn't. It'd kinda ruin his somewhat awesome spoiler[final words] if he does return.

Very much looking forward to it. One of my favourite shows this year (though it was a tad weak in places) and had hoped for some kind of sequel as I feel there can be a lot more to cover.

Don't know how to feel about this, really.

On the plus, more Gargantia.

On the minus, the story felt pretty closed at the end, so I feel like anything else added would be more of a stretch.
