| No I won't make make the same mistake again and watch Bocchi content. Learned my lesson to not trust hype for this kind of anime from the first season |
| The time has finally come! Staff changes can be tricky but I have faith. π€ |

| @Softhenic03 considering they rotoscoped some of Sono Bisque Doll, it'd make sense if we don't get that for another year or so lol |
     |
| It was obvious, but I was surprised that it took relatively so much time. |
 |
| best news in a long long time |
| YESSSS! BEST NEWS I'VE HEARD THIS YEAR! |
| Sony was more worried about combating piracy and making DEI sjw woke slop, than giving this show a second season, so that's why it took so long. |
 |
| For how immensely popular the first season was not only in Japan, but around the world, I'm floored it took so long for a second season. But at least we're finally getting more. |
| Aww it's a shame Keiichirou Saitou isn't directing for s2, presumably because he's busy with Frieren. Suffering from success fr. Still hype though. |
| welp this is back. just have to wait and see if this'll be as cringe as the first season but i can already imagine the inflated score. |
 |
| I am so glad this got a second season; I haven't been this excited by anime news since 2024. Anyways, WOO!O!O!!O!O!!O!!!! !O!!O!!O! Bocchi is something special for sure. Does this mean we'll also get an English dub of S1 soon? I know several people who are interested in Bocchi but don't want to watch subs since they don't watch too much anime. |
| After 3 years of waiting. WE ARE SO BACK! |
| For fuck sake Sony better make a dub of the first season now. |
| Those recap films were worth it. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| If they stopped at just the recap movies, that would’ve been a serious loss, so I’m glad they finally back! |

| Am I the only one who kind of has lost interest in this series? I enjoyed the first season but having a 3 year break on a quite good enjoyable series before new season announcement, it kind of makes one lose interest. It'll probably be a year or two until this season start. I might watch this, who knows. |

| @Softhenic03 Yeah no. The new director said they haven't done anything yet, no arrangements no animation, nothing. He also explicitly said making anime takes a long time. We won't see this before 2026, maybe even Summer/Fall 2026. |
 |
| Typical K-ON style boring-moe show, but it got overrated to death because of the herd mentality of the this new weird generation. These people give scores according to instructions of YouTube nerds. So, it's not surprising to see that it has this high of a score. It is only about hype now. Back in 10-15 years ago people would be ecstatic about the batch release of the shows like JoJo part 6 because they can binge watch it, but nowadays these weirdos grieve over it because they can't talk about it weekly on twitter. Anime or other mediums are just reduced to a mere tool for their weird TikTok videos and pseudo friendships. |
| Nice, first season was really funny, hope this one delivers as well. |
Yui_Suzumiya69 said: @SDA0 It was already announced in Jump+ back in December that it's getting a 2025 release. what bocchi 2? Where, I listened to the radio show which was published with the release (https://youtu.be/P0ifdqZm8wo?si=96xBI_xy5Z-4dOXk) where the new director said they haven't done a thing and that animation takes a long time, I highly doubt this airs in 2025 Edit: did you miss-quote me? are you talking about dress-up darling? |

@EcchiGodMamster My Dress-Up Darling S2 was already announced for 2025 back in December.
| @Yui_Suzumiya69 that doesn't mean anything lol do you know what rotoscoping is? |
|
| Thread cleaned. Please try to stay on topic and behave yourselves. |
| So hyped! I read ahead and I'm super excited to see the next couple storylines in animation! Now I just gotta wait from Frieren S2... |
