Wow this series must be really popular in Japan for it to get a continuation immediately.

Tonight... we are young... so let's set the world on fire, we can burn brighter, than the sun...

I laugh at this. The anime isn't good enough for a sequel. It looked promising but quickly dropped its expectations. I'll watch the sequel, though. I don't like unfinished business.

Yawn. Maybe if they'd actually explained how the puzzles were solved, it might have been interesting enough to stick with. I genuinely didn't realise it was this popular.

They do, though most puzzles are Japanese so most people who watch that can't understand their language won't appreciate this show to the fullest.

Oh God, why?


My thoughts exactly. But it makes me even more glad that I decided to drop it after 11 episodes. But whatever, next season already has a lot of very promising shows anyway.
I probably regret this post by now.

The series thus far has been a bit disappointing and underwhelming and yet it already had a second season in the works? Looks like someone got ahead of themselves.

I wonder what's the reason? It's original so no bust for manga/novel sales. DVD/BD pre-orders are extremely low too(about twice less than Chihayafuru had). High TV-rating? Large sales of other related staff? Or smth else?

Phi Brain is a great comedy series if you don't take it seriously.

That said, I was kind of hoping it would have an ending after 25 episodes, and not last forever.

With the time were taking on Rook, I dont think they would have been able to address the Gods Puzzle in the remaining episodes.

I agree that the series isn't that great to get a sequel in my opinion.
There are a lot of other series which could need a second season much better than Kami no Puzzle...

I enjoy this series, but don't think it is suited for another season. I mean, they feature a new type of puzzle in almost every new episode, there aren't that much kind of different type of puzzles to be introduced. They should just wrap up the story about Rook and Kaito and then end it like so.

I'm surprised people hate this show. Maybe some people are too stupid to comprehend the puzzles used in the anime? *shrug*

I'm happy about this news. I happy to LOVE this show.

a perfect example of how the Japanese people treat their shows is entirely not dependent on how we like them ^^

Oh, I forgot it was original. That is indeed very weird then. The DVD/BD sales are going to be virtually zilch so I simply assumed it was some popular manga seeing a big sales boost. But apparently not.


Its a daytime anime (5:30 PM on Sundays), so i guess its selling toys and getting ratings? Maybe?

it looks like they don't want to waste time waiting for the second season, probably because they have to hit the steel untill it is hot

Some people just want to hate and Some just want to say it is bad because others called it bad, otherwise they will call him weird.

When a show unpopular like this get a sequel people say "What is this I don't even..." but when a show like Madoka get a recap everybody, their dogs and their cat called it "Awesome!"

I didn't expect this... well, I'm not either happy or unhappy about it (It's pretty much 'I don't care' XD). It's a good series, but there are a lot better ones who deserve a sequel. But I'll watch it...

Yeeeeeeeeees, now that's something I didn't expect. It will probably be a whole new plot, since the current story seems to be reaching it's conclusion. Anyway, more puzzle time is always appreciated. Also... Gammon has a sister? Oh boy, things will likely get even more interesting.

I do have to wonder why the hell they decided it would be a good idea, though. Toys and other collectibles, maybe?

the show fits the mold so the show gets the sequel. this has been the practice of how anime gets sequels for years. The shows dont even have to be good anymore. I have to admit, when i first was reading about phi brain i was very much into the hype of it. From the second episode on it continued to fail and not meet my expectations.

there many other good shows that have been not even completed, without getting second seasons, without getting a second look. examples include beck, claymore, and so very much more. Its not only an injustice to the mangeka that provide this amazing material but an insult to all that use anime and manga as entertainment. They think we all fit the mold. Well we all dont fit the mold. Start giving us something new and interesting to watch.

Once I've started something, I don't drop it. No matter how bad it is. So I'm watching the first season all way through. And now THIS? REALLY?
25 episodes were way too much already for this horrendous trash.

I actually like the show so i will conclude with:


If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card).

I like this. Gammon's hilarious, so more comedy will be awesome.

I'll be ignoring the "there are better series to have sequels for" posts, since that's said on pretty much any anime sequel announcement where the anime isn't ridiculously famous. I never had any expectations, but I've been pleasantly surprised. Seems like anyone who had any expectations can't stand it, though.

Happy dance!

Though in my year of anime following I never saw a show get a second season as soon as the first one ends...
