Cool, I 'll definitely watch. The ending of the first definitely had some loose strings so this is very welcome news.

I did not expect that. I had heard about a possible short continuation to elaborate upon the ending. That would have been good, but this is better.
Gatchaman Crowds was another surprise treat that I took to late in the season, but I'm glad that I did. Something with real thematic ambition and a protagonist who's appealing and admirable in a quirky way deserves to exist in larger quantities. I was surprisingly content with the finale, but it would be no trouble to continue thence. I really hope that they'll take this opportunity to challenge their own message at least a little and be the rare work that stands for something, but is responsible to drag is through the mud when it merits. This could also offer a chance to expand upon the other characters. I came away from Gatchaman Crowds feeling like the supporting cast hadn't been given as much attention as I'd like. That said, I look forward to more Hajime. We've been getting a lot of damned good news lately. |

I liked this show but Japan didn't seem so impressed with it. Count me surprised honestly.
An OVA might have been expected but a whole new Season is very surprising |

;D Yay! A second season! I can only hope it'll continue where the first season left off. I'm curious to see what happened to everyone. There are a lot of unanswered questions of who's still here and who isn't here anymore.

This is brilliant news!
Gatchaman Crowds really surprised me and I enjoyed it a lot. However, the ending felt rushed and some things were not resolved and explained well at all. Hopefully this second season will put that right and answer the unanswered questions we have! I can't wait to watch this. |

With the ending the way it was, I expected a continuation of some sort, but not necessarily an entire season. So I'm a bit surprised. But hey, this is certainly good news! It wasn't my favorite show in the world, but it was a whole lot of fun to watch.

This was probably my biggest disappointment last season as I really expected it to get me through a pretty weak IMO Summer season, but I just did not like the characters or much of anything at all and ended up dropping it after 4 episodes. Good news for the people that liked it I guess though.

Totally good news. Like everyone else hoping they address the issues with the final episode of season one.

I was hoping for an OVA to wrap up the ending, but this is better! (^^) This was a really fun show, looking forward to more.

Oh thank you thank you thank you. I would have just been happy with an OVA that wrapped up some of the big, glaring errors of the final few episodes. I probably wouldn't be so harsh on the ending - because it did wrap up several threads pretty well, thematically addressed one of its biggest, and kept it very interesting - but the prior episodes were just so good that the ending was a bit hard to swallow. As I mentioned in the series thread, the lack of emotional catharsis was really off-puting, and is one of the biggest offenses for me in terms of a poor ending.
Don't make us care about certain characters and then give us no resolution in regards to them. In other words, spoiler[throw us some sort of f***ing bone in regards to OD. Dead? Alive? It doesn't matter (though I'd much prefer if he survived), but wrap it up and wrap it up well.] |

This is exciting news! I hope we get to know the other characters better this time.

I'm not one of the folks who was super-duper impressed with the first season (I liked Hajime, but felt that she was really treading thin Mary Sue ice, especially towards the end; and the only other character I honestly cared about was Joe, and he only got sporadic screentime), but it was interesting enough. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens in the new season.
