That's kinda unexpected but I'm kinda glad. The show has not super excited me yet, but it's a nice watch each week with an enjoyable atmosphere and such. Will be watching season 2 when it airs.
I probably regret this post by now.

Its sad, that the first 2 eps are boring but then it gets pretty sweet, funny and lovely. You guys who didn't want to watch it and loves shounen ai don't know what you're missing.

Its the sweetest shounen ai i've watched :3

I'm really happy that it gets a second season
My life is nothing without my dearest guys in pain.
Love it, whatever it's a Banana made with Fish. It's BANANA FISH. My biggest favorite due to the pain. Pain is good when you want it to go away from your own pain~

Then there is Yaoi. Oh yes, Yaoi.
- Yaoi is best when your watching it in HD! xD

The anime isn't shounen-ai, but there are hints there.

There's some jokes about it but I have yet to see two males in a romantic relationship in this show.
Do point them out for me because I have no clue as to what you've been watching all this time.

My heart is delighted after reading this. Yes for more of a show I like. Not that I started watching, but I know I'm liking it already. And not that we get a show like this very often, I'm happy. I especially love this mangaka's art and I wish Hakkenden could get more popular. Her other works could get more attention and a boost in sales and maybe a chance for anime adaptations.

Wow I honestly never expected it and I'm pleasantly surprised. I actually enjoy Hakkenden, it's pretty underrated. I'm glad it's getting a second season.

i watched one ep and dropped it, is it really good enough to get a second season so quickly?

I am not amused. This seriously has to stop. Why are all these below average second seasons getting announced?! There's so many great things with open endings that could benefot from a second season... But oh well, such is the life of the otaku, you will never get what you want.

The first couple of episodes are a bit slow, but then it gets much better. It gets funnier, and there're more plot developments (especially in some of the most recent episodes). I can confidently say that Hakkenden is very underrated.

I see most people were turned off by S1. Not really sure why with all these "Dropped it on Ep1" posts. Even with all the shounen-ai vibes I still enjoyed it. I can't say I cared much for a second season, but since it was announced, that'd be good news in my book.

That's great news :D
i was pretty sad thinking that there was only one episode left to watch ...besides, after watching ep 11 it felt like there wouldn't be a satisfying final
now i'm really excited, can't wait for the second season to be aired!

Maybe I'll pick it up again and finish it after all.

Or maybe not.

It depends if I get bored enough.

Yes! I had a feeling there was going to be a second season, since the preview for this week's (last episode) didn't seem like it was going to be an original ending. I'm looking forward to seeing the next 6 volumes to get animate ^^ Granted, Hakkenden isn't the best anime ever, but it's not below average. I'm pretty sure that they were never going to make it just 13 episodes when the production company decided to animate Hakkenden...there are 13 volumes out already, and there was just no way they could've tied everything off even with an original anime ending in only 13 episodes. Anyways, I'm glad it's getting a second season because I love the manga, and they've done a pretty good job with the adaptation ^^

Abe Miyuki does it again! I'm so happy she's getting a new season.
This show was pretty slow at first but it ended up being very enjoyable. There's just something about her works that keeps me hooked.

This.
I never expected to like it as much as I do now, because the beginning was very confusing, but every single episode got better and better.

Oh wait, now I'm doing it.

OT: This is nice, it's not a bad show. I've been enjoying it and it wouldn't have been able to finish by next week.

I really love the first season. The art is gorgeous and the story line really picked up after the first few episodes. After seeing eleven episodes of season one I will definitely watch season two once it's released. The bits of shonen ai were subtle enough to where even people who hate the genre will be able to enjoy this wonderful anime.

Why do you guys even bother commenting about the S2 when you dropped it in the first place? This news has nothing to do with you.

Anyways, this is a great news for me. It's not lame as everybody says. It's pretty good. I'm looking forward to the next season.

I've really been enjoying the second half of the first season and was sad about the last episode airing this week, so I'm definitely looking forward to the second season. I can't wait to find out when it airs! And I hope we get to see a reunion between Hamaji and Dousetsu.

Guys, you're kidding me, right?
If you haven't watched it and you don't plan to, or if you're not even interested, then why the hell are you even commenting???

Anyway, this news makes me so happy!!!
Hakkenden was/is awesome.

Of course he didn't seen it! It's better to complain without reason! Maybe he's just frustrated because he's waiting for some second/third season (Haruhi/FMP??) ^o^

As for me, I'm happy! But I knew it before watching the 1st season!
And the manga is now official shounen-ai since it's now, since 2010 re-published in a shounen-ai magazine! The 13rd volume should be out soon (the 12th was out on December 2012)
Even if it's officially shounen-ai I don't think that the 2nd season will be more shounen-ai than the first since they will adapt the manga probably not up to date and since there is yet no original material published in the shounen-ai magazine (maybe some little differences, but not much if I believe the comments of fans)

Few bishounen anime this summer! yey! ^o^
