Will «Accel World» return for season 2? Renewed or cancelled? New episodes coming?

The Japanese anime series «Accel World», directed by Masakazu Obara, premiered on Tokyo MX at the beginning of April, 2012. It is based on «Accel World» light novel series, written by Reki Kawahara.

Right after the final episode of Season 1 broadcast, the creators were asked about the possibility of «Accel World» Season 2 production. The release date for the new episodes is still a secret, since the rightsholders haven’t announced it officially yet. On the Japanese forums the fans of the series are discussing the possible continuation of the show in October, 2013 (was not confirmed), but the given data haven’t been confirmed yet.

It is believed that the creators aren’t going to renew the series for Season 2. However, in spring 2013 they will air the second OVA-series called «Hot Springs. Onsen». Also it is said that there is no money to produce the new episodes and the phrase «no funding-no Season 2» appears on the forums more and more often.

And have you been waiting for a season 2? Would you like the anime TV-series to be renewed?
