I’m always curious when a manga I like gets adapted as an anime. Sometimes I even prefer the anime version. I liked the anime version of Ouran High School Host Club a little more than the manga. I think Skip Beat is more suited to animation than most shoujo titles because of some of the visual imagery used. Kyoko’s unconscious desires are expressed with a horrifying grasping hand coming out of her mouth, and her targets of hatred are frequently surrounded by mini-Kyoko flying devils. Here’s the trailer for the anime, I hope someone picks it up for release in the U.S.
Although I think the anime looks interesting, I’m even more intrigued that Skip Beat is also going to be turned into a live action drama in Taiwan. But it hasn’t started filming yet, so there will be a long wait to see what it looks like.

No official news of a second season yet, but i truly believe there will be one. the ending was very open-ended and instead of answering questions, it actually created new ones…(like who was the young boy with moko-chan?) besides, if the producers only wanted one season of skip beat, they could have easily come up with some bogus ending that would have RESOLVED EVERYTHING…but instead, a cliff hanger is used…which for me means that they want to continue the anime in order to answer all of those open-ended questions…YAY FOR SEASON 2!

I agree there needs to be a second season, but from what I read of the manga the boy with Moko chan, was a young actor she was working with in her on tv drama. Wonder why they did not throw it in with this story.
