Online magazine Gigazine inquired from TV Saitama about the "reairing" of "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" and confirmed there will be 28 episodes. The staff of TV Saitama didn't know the order of the episodes and when the new episodes will be aired.

Source: Gigazine

J-Cast also interviewed TV Saitama and reported that the new episodes will be aired after the final episode of the first season. However, J-Cast suggested that we must stay alert until the new episode is actually aired considering the previous trolls of Kadokawa.

=============
The first episode of "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" was re-aired on Sun TV channel on April 3rd. It was the episode 1 in the chronological order "Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu I". The animation of the main story was switched with the DVD version. The OP and ED animation were the same as the previous airing.

The name of Yamamoto Yutaka remained in the credit as the series organizer.

Well, there's also this: http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/04/02/haruhi-second-season-airs-with-rerun/

Don't blame me if this is just another troll.

Was it broadcast in some sort of HD?

Me neither...

Why would they rerun it in chronological order, the only thing you get then are 6 more or less mediocre story episodes followed by 8 useless filler episodes.
Not that that is any different from the non-chronological order, the only thing is that the filler and story episodes are a bit jumbled around.

You don't know hom many flame posts, speculations, etc. has this reairing started right? This confirms that it is indeed a simple reairing with no important changes.

Yes, I want to be optimistic as well. I've been waiting for that f*cking 2nd season for like 3 years now. KyoAni isn't the one who's trolling. It's Kadokawa and their bad marketing strategy.

I can't decide if I still care or not. On one hand, I loved the first season. On the other hand, all this back and forth news regarding it is driving me insane. Interspersing the second season with the first seems like an utter mistake, so I can really only hope that Summer brings us good news.

Blah. Let's just hope Kadokawa doesn't Nice Boat us again.

Honestly I dont much care for the chronological order, because there are like 3 episodes in a row that just blast plot at you. But when the order is mixed up, you dont get punched in the face with so much plot. Its easier to watch out of order.

This new haruhi season will be 28 episodes, the 14 from the original broadcast, and the 14 is probably new episodes that make up the 2nd season.
Personally, i think this 28 episodes with new 14 episodes is true.
And i think they are airing all 28 episodes in random order like in the original broadcast. Maybe its a new way to see the Haruhi "world."
so the next aired episode might be episode 20 in chronological order or something

Sanakaku Complex....and On April 1st...the air is thick w irony.THICK.

KyoAni is milking whatever it can get from the franchise's imminent demise. The last 2 Haruhi games were also dismal, dismal failures. Make of that what you will. The NA book is a joke, dumbed down for the English speaking public...Haruhi is like "totally" a valley girl.

Season 2 is on semi-permanent hiatus due to negotiation breakdowns between Nagaru and Kadokowan over licensing and royalty rights.

V10 of the book is on semi vacation due to Nagaru either having
1. Written himself into a corner *read v9 and youll see it.*
2.Writers Block *lol*
3. Has it completed but due to royalty negotiation breakdowns....
4. or Nagaru being a %$^%$head *possibly due to 3.*

Oh... I thought they were going to air "Densetsu no Mikuru" but it appears that they aired episode I instead but why...? I would understand if it was aired on April 1st but..

I have no idea why Kadokawa decided to do this, hmm...

So, there will not be a second season... And there will not be a second episode.. Now what?

Why is anything news? Because people care about it. You may not care about it, but others do.

The reason people care is that Kyoani/Kadokawa/whatever have been teasing us about Haruhi season 2 for about 2-3 years. Some people thought this episode might be a new episode of Haruhi, i.e. season 2, earlier reports indicated another episode from season 1 would be reaired. Now that we know for sure, it's only natural to report it. If you don't care, ignore it, just like you ignore everything else in the news you don't care about.

Bottom line: This is definately news, even if it is for fucked up reasons.

Thanks for the clarification. There had been so much fuss over the outcome of this "re-airing". There could have been a total remake of the first season, new OP and ED sequences, change in the credit, or another shuffling of the episodes etc. etc.

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?

===============
Another guy inquired from TV Saitama and received the same information.

Getting realistic? Taking the chronological episode 1 into account, they meant airing of the DVD version by "remake".

Its hilarious the hype they are creadting around Haruhi... Now they troll all fans with the Re-Air in Chronological order... Like saying "Yeah you can't put it in chrono order so we hype a bit about S2 make you all happy and then SHAZAM! S1 in Chrono order".

Since i never though Haruhi as a big deal, its cool for me but all my friends that are die-hard fans for haruhi had literally their balls falling off...

why are people complaining about this not being newsworthy? i think it is, and i also think it's interesting to note the similarities and differences. kyoani are such trolls that changes like the one dtshyk reported above can give clues about the elusive second season.

Ryuukishi, you are fortunate not to have been exposed to Kadokawa's nasty trolls. They'd never called this series a "reairing" (rather called it "Aratamete" meaning all over again) and shut out any other information from the media. So some TV companies designated it as a new series.

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?
