I'd guess they're showing the first season's 14 episodes, which would take 14 weeks/3 months (ouch) before finally showing the 14 new episodes from season 2.

Talk about milking your franchise...this MIGHT be worse than Square-enix milking the FFVII franchise with all its spinoff games and movies/ovas.

Meh

edit: just read the other link. I can't really say which I myself would prefer, although if the first episode that was aired was the chronological first episode (and not the weird re-ordering chronology), there still MIGHT be a chance that we'll see a few new episodes in between story arcs, since a few episodes from Season 1 were taken from later novels, such as the baseball game and the Day of Sagittarius. I still think it's unlikely though.

Season 2 is supposed to be the focused on Book 4: the Disappearance of Haruhi, right?

Well they can milk it because they know that Haruhism has spread wildly across the world and the Haruhists are willing to go through this as long as it means there is a 2nd season. I mean, I'll wait as long as it means a 2nd season and I know I'm not the only one.

Considering this was a news on the 2nd of April, it most likely is not an april fools joke. If it is then Japan sucks and "yourdoingitwrong"

Just for the record, no one should blame KyoAni or call them trolls. The stupid shit being pulled is completely in Kadokawa's court, KyoAni just draws it, they don't publish it.

I promised I'll finish my profile page "before Haruhi 2 airs". Crap. It's only about few weeks from now :P I 'll probably have to change it to "before Harhui 2 finishes airing" to give myself a little more time...

What in the hell is happening over in Japan? Are they showing the 2nd season after the first, mixing in the 2nd season, or are they going to show the first in chronological order and broadcast order right after?


My guess would be, since the first season's 14 episodes was split in two parts: 7 episodes of the first novel and 7 single episodes from 2 (or 3?) later ones.
Now they have produced another 14 episodes, maybe in the same manner with 7 covering the novel about the "disappearance".. and they are airing all 28 episodes in a chronological order, so it's like:
7 ep of Haruhi1 - some filler - 7 ep of Haruhi2 - some filler ? ("filler" is not correct, but they cover only short side stories)

That would mean we should wait 7 weeks and see what comes after the first arc ;)

So Sankaku was not just trolling after all. Either we will have Haruhi 2 at last in summer, or it can be mixed with the Haruhi 1 for utter madness. Having no preview in the episode makes the latter likely, but it's unlikely to begin with, so...

It would be absolute hilarious if the first episode was Season 1, and the second episode was the first episode of season 2. Then just rotate like that to piss everyone off.

But, these assholes love trolling EVERYONE. So frankly my dear, I just don't give a damn.

That wouldn't be funny at all and I have a very loose sense of humor. I wouldn't be pissed, but frustrated because then I have to wakes 2 weeks in between each new episode. The sad thing, though, is that I would wait like the dog they want me to be because I am an idiot/haruhi addict.

Well, they did air Season 1 in a different order. And this is Haruhi. Normal? I think not. They're probably doing something weird with the airing like they did when Season 1 aired for the first time.

Personally, it's interesting to know the difference in the attitude toward this news between Japanese and non-Japanese anime fans. This news is the biggest topic of the week (or of the month) for Japanese and reported by many news websites but a good number of MAL users didn't find it even newswrothy. Maybe because MAL users are already tired of dancing with Kadokawa's trolls?
Western anime fans obviously have less patience than the Japanese ones. Also, Haruhi has a lot of haters over here.

28 episodes they say... two re-airings in a row? :)

However, J-Cast suggested that we must stay alert until the new episode is actually aired considering the previous trolls of Kadokawa.


I absolutely refuse to believe anyone about Haruhi season 2 anymore. Doesn't mean I won't rage, though.

Holy shit.

I'm assuming re-airing is not normal in Japan for anime or something right? I wouldn't mind if the second season was thrown into the first, I read the books and it would make sense, (that's if they're doing the 'Dissapearance of Haruhi Suzumiya') if not who knows what the hell is going to happen.

I'm pumped for this! Thrillinggg oh yesss.

Ah, that can easily be solved with taking a good dose of Sodium Pentathol or better yet, administer a good dose to Haruhi.

Personally, I think that they're going to show both the first and second seasons at once, and show them all in order of the novels. Which is why I think Episode "0" wasn't shown first.

well ignoring season1, there will be 16 new episode content (hopefully)
confirmed content will be the entire disappearance novel. the others will probably lead up to it + extras

I think Kadokawa executives bet someone they could create 1000 news stories on Haruhi.

I mean seriously, there's new news every week (most of it contradicting the earlier news).

On a more serious note, I'm ecstatic.

Let's see what's gonna happen after the very first 14 eps :P

I hope they are not going to mix the apparently new season episodes with the older ones. That would be just a mess and make you wait for all the episodes every week, just to see if they are new stuff or not.

oh wait, that sounds like an amazing commercial plan. Oh god -_-

When i heard this i wasn't sure what to make of it, as there is clearly not much on it, but i'm now wondering if they will show the second season straight after. To be honest it wouldn't surprise me.

And whats with this "filler" malarky anyway? There has been no filler whatsoever with Haruhi so far, all has been canon, and the short stories have fairly big affects on the storyline. Best chapter to back that up with is "Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody", heck without that disappearance would end completely differently.
