| 2017 is looking to be an even funner year x_x So much stuff to look forward to |
    |
| 2017 shape up to be a great year for sequel. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Oh seriously? I think I'll watch it since it was a decent mahou shoujo show. Would love if they expanded on the S1 ending, since that was pretty debated in the forums. |
| Apart from the obvious asspull dues ex machina, I enjoyed season one. 2017 looks to be a good one so far. |
 |
| As much as I disliked how the ending played out, I'll give this a chance. |
| I'M SO FUCKING HAPPY I'M CRYING |
| One of my all-time favorites getting a sequel. Omg, I'm so happy.... I never expected this. 2017 is seriously looking so damn promising! |
  |
| Makes sense considering how much of a success the first season was in Japan. As far as I know it's the only successful Madoka clone there is, obviously they'd make more of it. I have no interest in it, though. |
| Super great news! I have been waiting for this Wonder what would the enemies be |

| Really surprised...Dropped after first few episodes and all i knew was that this had a shitty ending...Had the impression that everyone hated this o_O |
 |
| AHHHHHHHHHHHHH *SCREAMING* YAYYAYAYYAYAY :D |
| the prequel in novel form was enjoyable, so why not. Plus it's supposed to be read together with the first season, so peoples who don't read novels will finally get the informations they didn't had. A bit late, but they'll get it. Also the ending wasn't bad at all, it was hard to get for peoples that -were not attentive enough at small details -didn't read the complement in novel formats.

I have no interest in it, though. It's not a madoka clone. And most probably pretty much every single anime that you can list as "madoka clone" aren't either. Peoples in the west need to figure out once and for all that Madomagi hardly influenced the magical girl genre in anime. The genre pretty much continued exactly as it was. No matter how good Madoka was, it didn't revolutionize anything in the genre, didn't reall ydo anything that wasn't already done before, so there was nothing to change for the genre itself afterwards. It's becoming tiring to see so many uninformed peoples thinking that Madoka invented anything or is some kind of messiah in the magical girl genre. |

YES!!!!! YES!!!!!! FUCKING YES!!!! My hopes for this series getting a 2nd Season was slowly dwindling month after month but I just had a fucking heart attack after hearing this news xD. It took them 3 years but I'm happy to hear that one of my favourite series is getting Season 2. |

| I didn't exactly like the ending to Yuki Yuna is a Hero, but nevertheless I'm pretty excited about this announcement. :D The fact that this series is getting a 2nd Season will hopefully clear up some things and a backstory on Washio Sumi sounds great! Looking forward to it! :) |
 |
| NICE! I always got a feeling that this would get a second season and now it's real. I just hope the 2nd half plot/story won't be rushed since they make it 6 ep prequel and 6 ep sequel. |
| While I didn't really enjoy its first season, a sequel or two is welcomed. Hope they'll expand it more since the first season had many premises |

Give me the goodies now Gokumi |
 |
| Ah, expected this to happen eventually. Having read the novel not long ago, I'll be interested to see how much they'll adapt for the anime. |
 |
| I'm glad it gets 2nd season, i hope the ending will be better than the 1st season. Adding new characters is a bonus. |

| Oh nice! I've looked for the prequel novels to read back when the first season was airing, but couldn't find them. I'll definitely check them out before this new one! |
 |
| Lol. Today's additional season announcements have been quite funny. |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |
| well, looks like now i've a reason to watch this. |
 |
| So much sequel in 2017 yes. |
 |
| Yeeeees thanks Japan omg sjdjdkd |

I think it's completely fair to call this a Madoka clone, cause it does seem like Madoka did something new. Magical Girl shows are generally made for little girls, and the only ones i can find before Madoka that aren't are parodies and/or pedobait (with one possible exception*). Madoka was the first show that adultified all the magical girl tropes in a dark and serious way, and it did it successfully, and three years later Yuuki Yuuna does exactly the same thing. How can you not call that a clear influence? But i definitely agree that Madoka didn't change the genre. The only shows i can think of to call clones are Yuuki Yuuna and Genei wo Kakeru Taiyou (which seemed like hot garbage based on one episode). And i really like Yuuki Yuuna, so so far whatever minute trend Madoka may have spawned is pretty positive. * There was one show i found that does look like something i would call a magical girl show, and looks pretty serious. That is Mahou Shoujo Tai Arusu (2004). I don't think i've ever heard of it before. I think i'll give it a watch. It looks interesting. |
| nice that i started the first season woohoo |

While I think that Zefyris is to radical in his statement that "Madoka did not make anything that wasn't made before" where were quite enough dark magical girls shows before it and magical girl shows that oriented for older male audience while not being a "pedobait". It is not so hard to make a list if you research a bit. |

| Ah yeah... The weekend was awesome: one mega announcement after the other...xD I did sooooooo damn it on the continuation waited, because it could not only with a season remain: Because for me did the first season with a open-end ended, where then...xD 2017 will be fucked awesome!!! If Dengeki still fast Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon and Spice & Wolf season 3 before still this year ends announce would, then I'd be unlimited happy for<3!!!!! |
 |
| I enjoyed the ending, and it left me begging to know what happens next. Really excited for more. |
 |
| Makes sense considering the implications in the ending of the show |
 |
| hope there will be the same characters |
| Wow so many amazing announcements lately... |
| More 2017 anime? |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| I was waiting for this announcement. That ending in Season 1 was screaming for another season. |
 "to the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world." -a magnet |
| i love when sequel come out of nowhere, my level of hype is even better than the No game no life movie WTF ??? |
| How unexpected tbh. |
 |
| 2017 keeps getting better and better! |
 |
| Good, looking forward to this. I enjoying the first season quite a lot. |
 |
| First was Mekaku City and now the adaptation of WaSuYu. Nice :D My favorites have been adapted! |
 |
| Nice to see, hopefully I will be able to like this one from the first episode, since I had major problems with S1 first couple of episodes, and then it got immensily better! It will be interesting to see how they will progress the story on the later half, see if the girls will be able to find a way to fight the real enemies! Giving me the shivers~~ |
