| Genuinely shocked. I didn't think UniteUp! did well enough to get a second season. But I'll definitely watch it. Just need to finish the first season. |

RobertBobert said: You don't need to. Your question simply didn't make sense. If I thought the anime itself was "weak" and/or wasn't good enough for a second season, I wouldn't be interested in watching season 2, which is clearly am.Yudesei said: You directly call this anime "a show that few people watched", but are you surprised that I don't know anything about it?

Yudesei said: Weak is a very loose concept and there is a difference between "it was weak, I didn't like it" and "it was weak, so I didn't expect it to get a second season". Likewise, the show could be a big hit and "obviously" get a second season, but I don't like it much.RobertBobert said: You don't need to. Your question simply didn't make sense.

And, again, I'm interested in watching the second season. It's safe to assume that I like the first season. At least enough to watch its sequel. I clearly don't think of the anime itself as "weak". The "didn't do well enough for a second season" is directed towards its performance, hence "unnecessary question". |

| I tried to watch first episode. Not for me, sorry, although I enjoyed Hypnosis Mic and waiting for the second season of it. |

| Can't believe that they actually announced S2 so fast!!!! We got to know every character on S1 so I'm very excited to know about PROTOSTAR's career in the idol industry. Everyone worked so hard for the irl live, I'm super glad they rising up! <3 |

@Memore as a fellow hypmic fans sure the genre is different like almost 180 degree
and not gonna lie the first episode didn't seems enjoyable too. But i have this 3 episode rule and bam i'm caught with the songs.
