Shoulda named the second season New Game+! But seriously, I'm not a huge fan of the way many anime sequels are named, where they just tack on an extra exclamation point or something to distinguish a separate season. It would be nice if the names were at least somewhat creative, just enough so that a newcomer to the series doesn't get confused.

"New Game DLC" isn't really an existing term, not to the extent that New Game Plus is.

And "DLC" suggests a small OVA rather than a full sequel.

Lot's of people have noticed this, but they already went with the exclamation mark motif. I swear there was a second season that went with an exclamation mark and plus sign, it must exist somewhere.

"New Game+" for second season and "New Game++" for third.

You know, in most cases, New Game + means they start the game over but keep their end game stats. It's probably another reason other than the "!" is used...cause it makes no sense if the title literally means to start over.

But it does make sense, because in the first season the team made a New Game, and in the second they're starting over with another New Game, Plus the new responsibilities and demands Aoba has to handle as co-designer. And they kept their stats from the first season - what they learned, and the relationships they built.

It's so perfect it hurts to think about. :D

@TehSnawn I know what New Game Plus means. Starting over making a new game from scratch is a restart as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't need to be a literal Steins;Gate or Re:Zero reset for the analogy to apply.
