Assuming the new series streams in English, I worry about whether it will be hard to follow because we never got those two movies after the first season (and WUG! Zoo). I had hoped that Sentai would get the movies out here, since they did the pilot movie and the first series, but obviously no such luck.

I rather like GUNP's take on the character design for the manga. Glad that we'll be getting more WUG anime as well. Here's hoping the transition to a new studio and director still maintains WUG's charm.

The 2 movies finish the storyline of s1 so Im not sure entirely. Maybe they'll make it easy on us and recap some of the events.

I generally liked the first season, and hopefully this new season is streamed. I suppose I need to hunt down the two movies we never got.

Just wanted to let everyone know: the two film sequels with English subtitles are now available out there in the net (but no official release yet, unfortunately).

I absolutely loved their songs Shoujo Koukyoukyoku and Beyond The Bottom from the film sequels... It's really rare to see the music and the lyrics reflect the stories that they create.

It's also awesome to see WUG being active as a seiyu group (performed Scorching Ping Pong Girls ED and Love Tyrant OP).

Here's to hoping that WUG continue to shine into the second season!

I didn't really love the new take on the designs originally, but they are growing on me. Really looking forward to this. WUG was the first idol show that I actually liked, really. And the music is absolutely phenomenal.

WUG! was really good at Anisong World Matsuri at AX. I saw a few tweets saying they won the night.

I was at the first part of their 4th live tour yesterday in Osaka

The girls said that it is both a sequel as well as an introduction to WUG for people who never watched the previous series

We were the first to hear 7 Senses and Shizuku no Kanmuri!

Oh, we also got One in a Billion surprisingly (no May'n, but MayuC did her best to cover)
