Good news for fans of Gargantia On The Verdurous Planet as the series, which aired this past spring, has gotten approval for a sequel season to go ahead. The details are of course pretty minimal at this time as it was announced by the official Twitter account, which you can see below, but it’s expected for a 2014 broadcast. The series is one that is getting a second airing in Japan at the moment on Tokyo MX TV, as noted by ANN, which also ran a commercial for the announcement as well, which you can see below.
The first season was simulcast by Crunchyroll in multiple territories around the world and Viz Media announced this summer that they picked up the home video rights for it.
