| So Yamamoto Yutaka isn't directing? Whats the point of watching this. He is one of the best ex Kyoani staff. I heard they fired him because of jealousy since he has so much talent with Haruhi and Lucky Star. Oh well I hope this new meme director is somewhat good. Teekyuu is cool and all but honestly not substantial. Good for the idol fans. |
| A sequel noone asked for. So here ya go ppl |
| i'm honestly surprised this series is still alive and by the teekyuu director? what happened to yamakan? |
 |
| Quite enjoyed the Tv series and movies but this new visuals ugh dunno kinda look weird. But else happy to see more of it since in my opinion it is a quite enjoyable idol stuff to watch. |
 |
| I just started watching the original series, Now this. xD Should be fun. The art style is very different though. :o |

| well, everything is possible since the sequel of Code Geass. |
 |
| I hate the anime industry so much at times. I thought I was done with this franchise after finishing that awful movie a few weeks ago.... |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
DatRandomDude said: well, everything is possible since the sequel of Code Geass. Yeah I guess ur right :p Then Japan might as well go ahead and make Spice & Wolf 3 :s |
| I thought Yamakan is back the moment I saw WUG getting another anime much to my disappointment and the character design on the PV looks ... meh? Well I hope Itagaki and Millepensee will not butcher Yamakan's masterpiece. |
 |
| Hm, the art style looks, quite upbeat and fun. I wonder how the series will go now, since the idea I thought was to portray the extreme dark side of the idol business. Either way, I'm happy there's a new TV anime, just hope the quality is better than the last series. Also, do you think this will try and carry on from Beyond The Bottom or start afresh? Either way's possible, really, considering BTB kinda rapped up their journey to breaking through and defeating the I-1 Club. But personally, I still hope they stick around and we see more of them. |
Forever wishing for an unrealistic Anime romance. |
| Maybe you didn't, but I wanted one. With the way the stories are being told, there's plenty of things they could do. |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| kyaaaaaaaaaaa I just saw the movies! totally wanting a new season!! |
 |
| This reminds me to watch that other Wake Up Girls movie. Hope the season 2 will be better than S1. |
 |
| Excited to see another season of WUG, as its my favourite idol anime. Different character design looks a bit odd to me but no big deal. Director though.... |

Well, I mean it happens? Though I'm not really complaining. At least this is better than the Berserk Sequel announced for Spring for me I guess. In the darkest timeline this, Berserk and Ledouche S3 air at the same time... |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| I'm not a fan of WUG or something, but I watched TV series and movies, so I will watch second season too. And this trailer looks so much better than the movies, especially character design and drawing style. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Pertaining to the original series, is WUG more "serious" compared to iM@S or rabu raibu? |
 |
| Damn, this series just WILL NOT die. It just keeps getting new stuff. I have yet to see the two latest movies, but I don't think the series was good enough to warrant another TV series. I'm not particularily happy, but I'm not annoyed either. However, there are much more deserving series that will sadly never get a second season, yet this does... I'm interested to see how this goes. The new animation looks a a bit odd though... |
 |
| Can't wait for WuG S8, I-1 spin off and Katayama Minami spin off. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
SymphoniacTippy said: I like Wake Up Girls but I don't know about this change of director much. As for the staff, it looks decent, although the director... I'm not gonna lie I still have somewhat of a grudge for this guy because of Berserk 2016 (yes he directed that adaptation which was the worst adaptation I have ever seen in the entire year, no show can top this off with adaptation wise) but I won't say that he should stop directing, and despite how I'm not the biggest fan of Tekyuu I do see his directing style could work into this honestly, but we'll see how it goes from there. Agree with you I still wonder why berserk committed choose him as director for berserk 2016? |
 |
| I worry about a change in tone, WUG is a serious idol anime and one that's good unlike Idol Memories which would've been alright if full length, the anime is darker than WUG but it doesn't have the episode duration to be good. The designs are going more towards typical idol anime especially Locodol. |

Im@ster: producer is a god who can easily make an idol out of any girl he sets his eyes on reason for idol: "it's our dream" Love Live: self-produce idols...it's cute girls doing cute things type of show, except the girls are idols (that's way too much of an oversimplification, but hey i described im@ster with one line) reason for idol: "to attract more people to study here and save our school from closing" WUG: producer is a loser working on an almost bankrupt agency with an irresponsible manager. his ability as a producer falls below that of an average kid in high school and is very gullible and is often taken advantage of. the girls he rounds up are nothing special, either...at least at first. the extreme lack of even a modest budget is evident in the movie (not giving spoilers, just see the movie) reason for being an idol: "because we're dirt poor" |

| i was happy WUG still having new season but when i saw the trailer dare? ahaha |
     |
| I was hoping for something like this to come along. WUG is nothing spectacular, but it's always just warmed up a corner of my heart to want to see more. I just hope that's not the official art. It's lighter and seems more cutesy but it's not even good in comparison to the original. |

| Shin Itagaki coming to save anime once again. |
