According to the latest commercial for anime rag Newtype, which had previously announced its announcement, the new TV series of the Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi will begin airing in April.
Fans are in shock, and are understandably having trouble accepting this news, but it seems genuine enough.
As you can see from the caps shown, the CM, voiced by Aya Hirano herself, introduced numerous images of the issue, showing off Haruhi related interviews and the like.
What is of interest to us is the cover above, which bears the (small and yellow) text:
4月からTVアニメ放送開始
TV anime broadcasts commence in April
Elsewhere (top), in much bigger lettering, we see more ambiguous wording to the effect that “The Haruhi TV anime is finally underway!”
This CM has been confirmed by a number of viewers.
Now, Haruhi marketing being what it is there is much scope for scepticism, but it is difficult to interpret such unambiguous wording as anything but a rather anti-climactic revelation regarding the release date for this incredibly highly anticipated title.
We will know more on the magazine’s release, by the 10th of February at the latest, but in the mean time it appears the prayers of Haruhi fans have finally been answered?
Or will KyoAni bring down a torch bearing mob upon itself by revealing it to be airing in April 2012? Or perhaps by announcing a rerun of the original “Haruhi TV Anime”. Surely not? It is for reasons such as these that nobody believes a word they have to say anymore.
One final piece in the puzzle is that Aya Hirano apologised in a recent blog update for not being able to update as she was working so hard on something she couldn’t say anything about, but would love to tell us…










Is this a troll by KyonAni?
More than likely yes.
If not
WHAT THE FUCK!!!???
For troubled souls with Nico access: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=p7Z1hq_wGbw
IS THIS FOR REAAAAAL????????
I'm recruiting people for the mob, any interested just go to KyoAni building and bring your torches and sickles... if this comes to be just more #$%&@ from them.
Count me in!
I'm in.
I will bring the dogs.
I got a few extra pitch forks and some torches from my last Dungeon Crawl, but I don't think I have enough for everyone...
I will have the some alcohol bottle with tissu for coktail molotlov. :)
I'll bring some KKK mask I had from that Harold and Kumar filming and maybe some weed too.
I don't know if NPH could come though...
Ill bring the black people thell see the kkk mask and in rage kill any one in site:) And for my self ill bring my flamethrower my rpg and my dessert eagle. Extra fire power to help back up my freind Anonymous:)
I'll bring some baby powder, So i can bitch slap all those bastards at kyo ani for this cruel April Fools Joke.
I'll bring the minigun. Someone else bring the ammo.
Natascha?
Indeed, don't want them running away on us now do we?
i got the potato peelers, lemons, and tar....you don't wanna know the details
Agreed.
I've been waiting ages for this. If this is just another lie I'm gonna be mad.
Remember this?
http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/02/02/korean-death-threats-made-against-hetalia-author/
Yeah, you're no better off.
I'll bring a pen and a death note, and write down whoever comes out of that KyoAni building. =P
I'll bring a pen and a death note, and write down the names of whoever comes out of that KyoAni building. =P (well, that is if I wished for the shimigami eyes fast enough)
im in ill bring my guild of about 200 guys and we will tear down the building with molotives and stuff
is hard to believe that after the long wait between also I remember the news last month that says even the production didn't started yet, I don't believe this change of events of Kyoani, we just need to wait one month more to know the true behind this
That was the production of the chibi anime.
YES YES YES YES YES.
THE GOD-EMPRESS HAS RETURNED.
OUR PATIENCE HAS BEEN REWARDED!!
ALL HAIL THE ONE TRUE GOD, HARUHI!
ALL HAIL HARUHI!!!!
FUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Our god has decended upon us once more!!!!!
HIP HIP HURAHI! HIP HIP HURAHI!
Haruhi with long hair :D
just you wait until this is revealed as yet another troll...
It's hard not be cynical about this.
I'll wait and see if this isn't just an April Fool's joke by KyoAni first before I get excited.
Damn, now I'm really going to be skeptical of its release.
the comercial:

Thanks!
didn't expect it to come out next year
I mean, they have a lot to live up to. They can have all the time they want.
"SURPRISE! We meant to say Lucky Star season two."
That would be just as fucking awesome.
Konachan X Kagamin = Haruhisama in awesomeness
... I second that
I would kill them in the face. Twice.
Sounds good to me, I'd much rather have that even...
do you watch code geass? I love that show, too bad lelouch died.
Seriously? That's even better... muh huh huh
That would just totally be amazing.
I'm pretty sure we're all skeptical about this Haurhi2.
LS season two!? oh yea
Not as good, but I would be satisfied.
I can see it now, April 1st comes around Haruhi is about to air. Then nothing. April fools!!!! Nice boat all over again.
God, I can now picture that happening.
Well, Japan /is/ looking for some way to get all the Hikikimoris out of their rooms... Storming Kyoani headquarters would definitely do the trick ^__^
I'm not going to get my hopes up until I actually see it aired. After giving up being cock blocked by KyoAni, I have grown to enjoy how Haruhifags rage over being played by them.
maybe they're hoping Haruhi will create a new universe in which the show is finished in time
OH SNAP!
Wait, I can see it coming....
Sorry due to production related issues Haruhi season 2 will be indefinitely delayed.
April Fool? Well, would make sense. The first episode (TV Version) of the first season was after all funny in a similar way. Only that it wasn't funny and I don't like the first season at all, if it wasn't for Haruhi.
There will be HELL TO PAY if this's a troll, KyoAni! HELL. TO. PAY.
LOL3YEARS. Brace for shitstorm of disappointment.
Oh yes !
YATTA!!!! HARUHI!!!!
And just when I was worrying that K-On! would be Kyoto Animation's spring project instead of the series everyone was truly waiting for... Of course, knock on wood that they are not refering to April 2010. I guess Haruhi-chan airing in February can be seen as promotion leading up to the real series coming back in April?

...and then some more
I sure hope they know what they're doing, now they have to release it. Personally I don't really care about Haruhi (except for Kyonko), but knowing the fandom if the next thing they say is "LOLOLOL WE TROLL U" they better invest in some security guards for their animation studio. Lots of them.
Security guards, hell. They better hope their company systems have been adequately secured. Torches-and-pitchfork mobs are easy to disperse - a few gunshots into the air takes the wind out of them. A retaliatory attack against the company's infrastructure? Naaasty.
Mere security guards cannot hold the power of RAGING OTAKU..
Those overweight otakus would run over them in a heartbeat, then the assault team would begin picking off KyoAni staffs one by one, bringing them to a huge bonfire made beforehand.
I want to believe it... I really do... ='(
Aw! I like the Nagato Yuki cover! <3
Btw I need to see it AIR first before I believe.
I think this rush of people to check out this piece of new the whole RSS feed.
I'm not going to hold my breath. But I would be very happy if it was true . . . . The return of Mikuru in a bunnysuit . . . .
the pic with asakura + glass Nagato is definitly a scene from the 4rth volume of the novel, which is supposed to be the main story of S2 ; so I'd tend to believe it.
FINALLY! Please be true please be true...
My waifu...
April?!
I thought it would air in the winter season! xD
Heh Lucky me... I just had to wait 9 months (watched the first season in August of last year :P).
Say, if this is really a troll as some of you think, maybe they'll be a vigil at night outside their studio with people protesting while waving fluorescent sticks ^^
I swear to God if this is another of KyoAni's trolls then I am calling a full boycott of their crap. I thought it would be July at the earliest but as long as it isn't rushed(which it shouldn't be unless they have been fapping to the money they've been making) then bring it on. I hope it's 26 episodes too which would be even sweeter.
Trolls made by KyoAni?
What happened?
i knew it!
damn i´m so fucking happy right now....
lets also hope for the 10. Volume of the novel series!
as i said before:
YES WE CAN!!!
YES WE FUCKING CAN!!!!!
Guys, seriously, chill out... I loved the show and it is one of my favorite titles but why are you so hysterical about it?
Some of you are reacting the same way a stupid teen girl would do for an encounter with her favorite singer. Grow up already.
(I know many of you will say I am a troll but whatever. Remember, don't feed or follow the hype)
Oh and I don't want to be a party pooper, great news and I am really looking forward for another awesome Haruhi season.
It's more that, after being trolled for years, something actually concrete is really really nice to have.
And, besides, ALL HAIL THE GOD-EMPRESS!
I'm guessing you weren't around for the first season?
YES THEY CAN!!
We'll be getting more of the same doujins. Only this time she has longer hair. I do actually like Kyonko better than the other girls though.
1st episode of original Haruhi aired in Japan on 2nd of April, 2006.
The new episodes of 2nd season will start nearly exactly 3 years after that.
Kyo Ani are a bunch of jokers. They PLANNED all this!
It being released in April is just too damn fishy.
WTF SERIOUSLY!? Gotta run to the store and load up on lube!
GODDAMMIT KYOANI!!! ><
if this is one of trolls again...i'm srsly going to smash your face with a shurvel...THRICE
WTF!! THat's great :D
but really.. wtf!!
I hope this isn't an April fools joke.
GLEE
WHAT THE FUCK
"April 2012"
I lol'd
Well people, don't despair! It won't be in "April 2012"! I just checked Moonphase, and it's on the list of anime to premiere in April. And if it's in Moonphase, then it's going to fucking air in fucking April! (unless some random Korean dude get's it cancelled for no reason =S)
My bad, it's on the list, but not in April. I guess they will put it once the Newtype's March Issue comes out. Anyways! Don't despair!
If the Koreans jump into the middle of this and cockblock Haruhi Season 2, the wave of pure unadulterated hatred and bloodshed will make all earlier rage threads seem like harmless daydreams.
Personally, I don't think they're quite THAT stupid/suicidal.
(Of course, leave it to some asshole over there to prove me wrong... and someone will)
I feel a disturbance in the Force...
Troll. They should've at least released a PV for it by now, it's already February. If by next month KyoAno doesn't release a PV, then all this Haruhi hype is bullshit.
Because putting "Haruhi will air in April" on the cover is a troll announcement, yeah.
They're not that stupid.
Duke Nukem Forever is coming out soon? Awesome!
My joke was that the current temperature in Hell was -40 Celsius, but hey.
It's time people get over this fanatical business.
I'm not anticipating this unless i see a actual anime preview of some sort.
but would be awesome if this was really release and not a April fools thing.
agreed
YES.
i hope we are not being trolled... i don't know how much longer i can wait for the 2nd season.....
i really hope this is real...
I DEMAND MORE HARUHI!
ALL HAIL HARUHI!!!
Wat?....w8...wat?? :D
I hope its not trolling...
Well actually, I do hope its K-on airs if this news is fake.
K-On looks awesome. It doesn't matter who animates it.
HARUHI!!...see this would be the stuff of Legend- if they kept a series this Hot and anticipated under wraps just to 'spring it' on people. It's exactly what Haruhi would've done!
Or maybe Haruhi missed having an Anime Series...so she simply 'wished for it' and suddenly it appeared...as Koizumi might say. Alas, the return of the Queen MOE! - Haruhi!....when are they gonna make a Live action Movie with Hirano already!
I'd love to see Haruhi comment on all the Animes that have become popular since her debut.
Haruhi:"Hey Kyon- watch out or I'll write your name in my notebook as a slacker!"
Kyon: "Knowing Haruhi that person would would die of a Heart Attack if Haruhi wished it so....wait, what am I saying? those things only happen in Animes right?"
Nagato: "Not if Haruhi deletes their 'special data; fromt he matter stream with her thoughts".
GOD Bless Haruhi....or Haruhi bless herself.
Please don't be a faked news! I want a season 2 really badly
LIESSS~!!! LOL april.. fo sho~ This is an April Fool Joke...
guess we just got to wait 6 days to find out if this is true or not.
I can only pray to haruhi that its true.
the Goddess is back!
a+ troll. Would rage again.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
it will be the end if it still trolling
Hate Hare Hare Yukai
HEY GUESS WHAT PEOPLE ????
IT WAS A FEINT
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-02-04/kadokawa-shoten-reportedly-says-april-haruhi-is-rerun
I think it's time to burn down newtype and kyoani...
lets wait with that untill the 10.feb
Oh man, if I were Kyoani, I would troll Haruhi fans too. I mean, it's so easy.
(on the other hand, I would also have to get their money once in a while, so a second season would be a good idea by now)
Geez, I just started reading the manga yesterday and haven't yet watched the anime yet as of now and the new series is going to start this April.
How time flies...... xD
*faints*
OMG I love this anime!!! hope its true about the new season,
:D
Im in!!!!! Ill bring my m249 SAW, Glock 18, and my AK-47!!!!!
oh wow we're all so impressed at your non-existent weapon collection.
no big deal, I will spend 8 months worth of time to charge up my twin satellite cannon with microwave......
