ef - a tale of melodies, sequel to the popular anime ef - a tale of memories has been approved for production.

Personally I'm a huge fan of ef after having watched ef - a tale of memories. This came to a shock to me as I thought that they covered all the character storylines within the short 12 episodes. I think what they'll cover in this sequel is the story of Yuko, the girl who appears to give the protagonists advice in the first series, and Yu, Chihiro's guardian.

Discuss.

As to be expected from the soundtrack for melodies. This preview pretty much confirms that the story will be both a prequel and a sequel to ef - a tale of memories. Nagi Hirono is Hiro's sister who he used in the creation of his pen name Nagi Shindo. I'm kind of surprised how they already have a preview in such a short period of time.

Woooow awesome. ^___^ I really love Ef - A Tale of Memories and to think that they're doing a second season (ish...). To be honest though, I hope that Melodies is good... For me, Yuuko and Yuu's story never seemed to interest me much. Who knows though, maybe I'll be surprised with this as well~
