Possible Second Series.

[Starwen]

Just Noticed this on Wiki. Maby its Nothing but they could actualy be a Second Series sooner or later. If Funimation has announced that the license to Utawarerumono Has gone to them. Makes me Think why would they take the License? if there isn't any new Series to come. Cos it seems kinda Pointless buying somthing that isnt going to do anything. See Qoute below*

***The American rights to the Utawarerumono anime were initially held by ADV Films, who completed a full DVD release of entire series. In July 2008, Funimation announced that the license to Utawarerumono (and other titles formerly held by ADV) had transferred to them.***

It would be cool if there was to be a second series or somthing of Utawarerumono.

At this moment, I would say no.
Funimation also received the right home video, broadcast, digital, and merchandising rights in North America and other regions (supposedly English speaking regions) for other anime that clearly have no plan for second seasons.

Here is the full list according to Anime News Network:

Rights in North America and other regions. The complete list of transferred titles is as follows:

• 009-1
• Ah! My Goddess: Flights of Fancy
• Air Gear
• Air movie
• Air TV
• Blade of the Phantom Master
• Comic Party: Revolution
• Coyote Ragtime Show
• Devil May Cry
• Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor TV
• Jing, King of Bandits: Seventh Heaven
• Jinki:Extend
• Kanon
• Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora (once titled as Shattered Angels by ADV Films)
• Le Chevalier D'Eon
• Magikano
• Moeyo Ken TV
• Moonlight Mile
• Murder Princess
• Nerima Daikon Brothers
• Pani Poni Dash!
• Project Blue Earth SOS
• Pumpkin Scissors
• Red Garden
• Sgt. Keroro 1st & 2nd
• Tokyo Majin
• UFO Princess Valkyrie
• Utawarerumono
• Venus Versus Virus
• The Wallflower
• Welcome to the NHK
• Xenosaga

I do believe it would be extremely unlikely that Kanon will have a 3rd remake in the near future (Although, that would be really nice if they successfully did it)

Funimation indicated that the new titles from ARM will be significant to its efforts in "social networking, the FUNimation Channel, and Internet VOD."

I am presuming Funimation is just trying to collect up American Anime distribution, in attempts to revitilize anime distribution in English speaking nations.

No. There would never be a second Utawarerumono. We don't need it. And there never was a second Utawarerumono game anyway. Utawarerumono was a game released by Leaf in 2002 and ported to the PS2 in 2006, also the same year the anime aired.
