There's no surprise here, it was already quite dubious as to how little they care about their recent titles (KnK and Chuuni 2 being prime example).
It's no surprise they were already preparing for the "main dish".

I was expecting this, of course. Rolling Eyes
Still, quite chuffed that it's official!!! Anime hyper
BTW @Detrimont this series definitely "deserves" to continue, like many others. What a weak & back-handed comment to make... Confused Whatevs!

I was expecting it but seeing an official announcement is pleasing all the same. Laughing Laughing

Given how the blu-rays regularly topped the chart in release week, this is hardly surprising. It's one of the most popular (in terms of actual sales) series KyoAni has made in years.

"In other news, it has been confirmed that Christmas will once again be held on December 25th this year."

Translation: Free! getting another season is probably going to be this year's least-surprising news story.

Well unless they suddenly decided that they didn't want to make money this was pretty much a forgone conclusion.

I'm so shocked I could pee....

I loved this show though, so I'm happy. But seriously, who didn't see it coming? Last episodes ends with "See you next summer!".

I was expecting a season 2 announcement, but I wasn't expecting to hear about the apparent fujoshi brawl.

Traffic cones were thrown, apparently women lost their shoes, and more.

I watched and enjoyed some of it, the animation side of things were brilliant in some parts(other parts were lacking, also, the complete change in body types in some scenes was kinda strange), but it's story wasn't that good(characters were so-so)... just being honest.
I'm fine with it getting a second season, but so many series with better storylines haven't gotten 2nd seasons...
