This just in by way of SDS and WG @ 4chan: according to a compilation of Comiket 69 news items posted to the event’s official site, Media Factory has announced a second season of the Genshiken anime set for UHF broadcast in October, 2006.
Holy crap.
HOLY CRAP.
Saki provides the only appropriate reaction to this news:
…2006 is going to be a great year for anime indeed.
[EDIT] As of June 3rd, 2006, there is no further news of a second season of Genshiken airing in the fall. A season of Kujibiki Unbalance has been announced, however, and should be taken as superceding the Genshiken series announcement (unless notice to the contrary comes in at a later date). I’m sorry for the confusion this post may have caused.

wau~
At least they got the link right, if not the actual site name. Oh ANN and your liberal spelling interpretations…
I’m the guy who submitted the info to ANN. As soon as I read it here I knew that ANN needed to know so that the rest of the Anime crowd could find out the good news. Hope nobody here minds.
Not at all, sir. Please feel free to do so again if you find anything else here that you consider to be of enough public interest to submit to ANN; I’ve thought of pestering them myself in the past but I’m pretty sure that would involve more than a bit of conflict of interest.
[...] According to Heisei Democracy, Genshiken’s second season was announced at Comiket 69. The second season of the Media Factory anime, based on Shimoku Kio’s manga of the same name, is set to begin airing in October 2006. Commentary: Honestly, I’m pretty excited to see it come back. While they did a decent job ending the first season without pissing me off, I just wanted more! They have a great place to pick up from and it should be really interesting with the looming introduction of new characters from the manga. The originality of the characters keeps me from worrying that the show has enough character to keep it seperate from other, similar shows such as Comic Party, especially considering the sort of plot similarities that are sure to be drawn to any doujin-centric story line.

can’t wait to see “them” again….
