If you recall about a week ago we ran a story featuring some rumors on the as of yet unconfirmed Akibaranger Season 2. Well we’ve discovered some more new info but file this story under rumor as well.

The same reliable 2ch poster that brought us the original news of Season 2 has let out information that the season will begin in April. And that Zukun Lab, the animation studio responsible for the shows CG, has already begun work on the new season! IF this turns out to be true that means we are now only 6 months away from a new season, and perhaps only a month or more away form the reveal of that season officially. Of course with it being April, this could become one GIANT April Fool’s Joke. True or not this rumor is sure to excite fans of the series. Join the discussion and let us know what you think.

Hey! Have you heard the hot rumors about Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger the Movie: Treasure of the Maid Empire? Well that’s all they are! Rumors of an Akibaranger feature film were actually fabricated by the shows production staff! It was an elaborate gag that began as a joke on twitter and played out quietly at Tamashii Nations 2012. They even went so far as to produce fake movie posters, tickets, and an Akiba Red giveaway mini figure!

However, don’t let this get you down as the rumor mill has begun churning again across the web. A certain reliable poster on 2chan is letting it leak that Toei is secretly filming an Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger Season 2! Think this could be too good to be true? Well this individual has leaked very reliable rumors in the past relating to Kamen Rider Fourze and the Eternal V Cinema. There’s a chance my delusional brothers and sisters that this is happening! A chance for more of the fan favorite, critically and commercially successful, series to return! Stayed tuned for more info as it becomes available.
