The official website for the TV anime adaptation of Kumanano and 029's Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear light novels has announced that the anime is getting a second season.
The anime's first season premiered in Japan on October 7.
Seven Seas Entertainment publishes the novels in English, and describes the story as:
Fifteen-year-old Yuna prefers staying home and obsessively playing her favorite VRMMO game to doing anything else, including going to school. When a strange new update gives her a one-of-a-kind bear outfit that comes with overpowered abilities, Yuna is torn: the outfit is unbearably cute, but too embarrassing to wear in-game. But then she suddenly finds herself transported into the world of the game, facing down monsters and magic for real, and the bear suit becomes the best weapon she has!
The special recording of the ending theme "Ano ne. -loved ones ver.-" will be available for purchase on various digital platforms, and features Maki Kawase (the voice of Yuna) and Azumi Waki (the voice of Fina).
