Needs more battles anyway which a split cour (sounds like it from the abrupt announcement) would do.

Thank you Momoneko-sama!

Good to hear - it really started as rather bad series (not to mention how it looked like just another advertisement) but turned out to be very good.

Great news :D

The 2nd season is about AKB48 general election.
It said on the site.
http://akb0048.jp/

If you guys don't know what the general election is..it's an event where fans vote for the top AKB girls to represent the group, since there's way too many to know who to promote at one time. It gave the fandom alot of amazing moments..and some lulzy ones..It was originally a small event but grew to the size that even Google streamed in english, and many major national TV stations start airing it. The last election got a 18% rating with the highest at 24%

Maeda Atsuko (Acchan) regaining her crown in 2011

Turn on CC for sub

Sato Amina in 2009 election (she voice Yuka btw)

7990 is pretty good. It's only a few hundred lower than Hyouka.
Tho yeah..for an AKB stuff it's pretty low.

So it will be mostly slice of life and music like Idolmaster, should pan out well.

No I think there's going to be mystery about Sensei Sensei, Acchan's mystery, and DES as well so it won't be slice of life

There's going to be hell of a lot more drama just like AKB election :3

According to ANN, theres no announcement of a 2nd season... just that it'll return later. Could be a movie, 2nd series, ova, whatever. But seems we're jumping the gun a bit.

Watch it and decide it yourself.
It's cliche and some moments are like WTF..but honestly it's just so dramatic and entertaining.
I read some people cried during some ep...:P

You don't really need to know about AKB to like this, but there's TONS of references, from small things to actual scenes in the show that mirrored real life situations that happened in AKB. It's probably more enjoyable if you know the group but it's fine if you don't.

AKB is too busy to accommodate the schedule probably
Or the long wait could be for a movie.

quit talking about the sales and take out credit card-sama lol
Vol.1 retailed at a unusually low price.
the other volume is in-line with the price with other shows.
seeing the last episode, there is slight foreshadow on who will be the next Acchan.

I would say there are
more in the climate of Marimite than Yuru Yuri... but even with weak filter of yuri googles one can find it here and there.

At the end of episode 13 (raw, seeing as the subbed isn't out yet), it says that they'll see you in 2013 (something along those lines, my kanji isn't very good), so I'm presuming there is going to be a second season if it was mentioned at the end of the anime.
