Newtype’s Shocking Haruhi Announcement Unveiled

Anime rag Newtype’s announced announcement is finally with us, arriving slightly early, and it is sure to shock such expectant fans as still remain after Kadokawa’s marketing abuses.
The rag breathlessly explains that the long awaited repeat of Haruhi season one will commence in April; fans will doubtless be delighted to hear that they will once again be able to watch the show on TV, only a few years after it originally aired.
They are even kind enough to provide important details of the production of the first anime, in case it proved hard to remember from so long ago.
Fans will be glad to hear Newtype devoted its carefully ambiguous cover and TV advertising to this important news, as there is no new information regarding the second season at all.
There will be no back-to-back broadcasts or otherwise, and Kadokawa have gone so far as to categorically deny announcing anything at all relating to the second series, which now appears to be on the same timely release schedule as Duke Nukem Forever.
What they do mention is that music anime K-On! will indeed be produced by Kyoto Animation, just as we heard previously, albeit unofficially.
The Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi indeed… For those who remain, it is time to move on and leave this franchise to die.

Haruhi fans are the abused girlfriend of animu. No matter how much Kadokawa and KyoAni whip them, beat them, bruise them, and stomp on them, they keep coming back for more.
Your point is immediately illustrated by the comment after yours.
props for Duke Nukem Forever reference
no! I bet they're just going to air second season after everyone has caught up watching season 1 again and it will be like a suprise party except the suprise comes after the dissapointing birthday cake like SUPRISE and everyone will be delighted even if the second season is not actually a party.
right guys? right?
:(
Whipped.
The cake is a lie...
Noooooooooooooooooooooo
Screw Kadokawa!...angry Otakus (and fans) should literally burn or destroy any useless or old Haruhi stuff they own (or want to get rid of) and send it to Kadokawa or NewType! saying "Thanks for jerking us around!" I am sooo over this guys crap! Whatever anime or project he makes after this should be 'Black Listed' or avoided just on general principal- He obviously Mocks and probably despises his 'silly Haruhi fans'.
You gave him this power fans...You can take it away!
When and if his new season comes - It should be Ignored & shunned- You know it'll never be as good as you've hoped- it's been too long and built up too much anyway.
Meanwhile Asuka (from "Evangelion") has a new movie coming out soon!!!- Horo has "Wolf & Spice" s2 - Back to basics! Hell, Sailor Moon will return before Haruhi!...wanna bet?
Look, when the new season comes, just watch it normally, just dont buy the merchandises
New season of Sailor Moon? Dear Sir, I take your bet!
the re run is gonna have 24 eps.....and...........
THE SECOND SEASON WILL COME THIS OTAKU WILL NEVER STOP BELIEVEN!
that would mean only 10 episodes for season 2 then
Don't we all wish...
To die? No thanks, it's not as if I don't have other things to keep me entertained until its eventual release.
"I mean, totally! KyoAni/Kadokawa can change! He loves me so I just have to give him some time. Everyone has a bad habit or two, you know?. True, the beatings can get bad, and I've been to the hospital half a dozen times for broken bones, but it's okay because I've got health insurance and I like hospitals too. Plus I get a lot of attention from the nurses and social workers when I'm there. He just needs more time. He loves me. He'll change... I know it.... he'll change..... right?"

RIP
Now I'm reminded of Schoolgirl in Concrete for some reason.
ugh... why must you remind me of that title again... orz
I'm fine with waiting as well.
Hell, its just an anime, when it finally comes out, I'll enjoy it.
No need to stress over a cartoon, its just entertainment after all.
It's not a cartoon DAMMIT.. It's an ANIME.. Know the difference!!
lol anime = animeshon = animation = cartoon (because anime is 2D). Anime is just the Japanese for animation/cartoon. Just as manga is the Japanese for comic book.
I never understand why people get so annoyed over it.
I too can't understand why christians get annoyed when I mistake them for muslims. Both are religious, no difference there.
That comment was presented by Ironiy.
Irony, for a better laugh.
Except with Muslims and Christians there's a few thousand years of difference. With Anime and Cartoons there's... uh... Anime has more boobs?
Amen to that!
ROFL
Whatever.
In Haruhi, We Trust!!! >:D
You mean thrust, don't you?
rofl
I lol'ed
Long live Haruhi-kami-san!!
I'm really looking forward to K-On!.
NewType has no shame.
It's like having "Cure for Cancer Found!" on the front cover of a medical journal, and nothing like on the inside. It is shameless exploitation and misleading the reader.
It's called trolling, lawl.
K-on will most likely have a ridiculous dance on the opening that will make you guys forget Haruhi, proven by Lucky Star.
I think I've seen that issue before... XD
You do realize that cancer has already been cured, long ago, multiple times, don't you? There are multiple treatments out there that have been proven to have a 100% success rate in curing any form of cancer in a human patient, as well as prevent any future recurrence of cancer.
Oh hi Mr. Troll. How's the trolling today?
Very well my friend. Though it isn't actually a troll. It is a fact that cancer has been cured before. There are many such known cures in existence. Of course, none of them are used.
I've read many such articles from many many news sources on different cures that have been proven to cure cancer in human patients. I will only point you in the direction of one of the many cures (as I'm not your medical encyclopedia).
Here's a link for McGaf.
http://www.thenhf.com/articles/articles_792/articles_792.htm
If you search enough, you can find many other treatments which are proven to cure cancer.
Why aren't these cures used? Simple, just like the article implies. Money. Greed. Do you realize just how many BILLIONS upon BILLIONS are made yearly on selling cancer treatments that don't work, or merely prolong life a few weeks or months? If you introduce such a cheap cure, the health care systems would crash. Many hundreds of thousands of jobs gone.
Oncologists don't give a crap if you die, they just want to keep their jobs. Do you have any idea how much money they make?

yeah... to hell with the hippocratic oath and helping patients and other nasty revenue biting advances like cures for cancer.
Some grains of salt for our dear silverbulletist friend Anon engaging in his tinfoilhattery:
http://scienceblog.cancerresearchuk.org/2008/12/03/cancer-cured-for-good-gc-maf-and-the-miracle-cure/
Practically all forms of "disease" have "cures" for them, but you won't find them in Human medicine. As has been pointed out by anonymous originally, doctors DON'T make money on healthy people that don't come back to them after all. I disagree with the idea that they don't care if you die because if you die then you won't be coming back to them to give them money. If we treated our animals like we do us then everyone would be forced to be vegan because our beef, chicken, lamb, etc etc would cost so much that only the rich could afford it ever. That one "cure" doesn't work because it's just not enough to replace what's missing from our food. Indeed "to hell with the hippocratic oath and helping patients" because guess what, doctors are not allowed to tell you ANYTHING that is not "the Standard of Care", including ANY herbs that can for example, relieve chronic headaches better than any pharmaceutical drug without ANY negative "side effects". If they do tell you any real options that aren't the company line, the least they have to worry about is getting their license pulled. As for "other nasty revenue biting advances like cures for cancer." you do realize that animals can get cancer too right? Yet you don't hear of any of that kind of news...why? Because farmers can't make a living off of animals that die before they are mature enough to slaughter and sell for a profit. And it is in veterinary medicine that all "cures" for our "diseases" exist.
For those that wish to read more on this, you should look up Dead Doctors Don't Lie, for those that think this is all just "tinfoilhattery", kindly keep this to yourself, then look the book up and give it serious consideration.
I'm sorry, but the amount of woo contained in that last reply made my brains hurt so badly. I might have to sue for damages.
lol sorry man, I get carried away too often on certain subjects, this happens to be one of them.
Oh yea it seems I've heard that this rerun is KyoAni's beef against Yutaka Yamamoto and they are pretty much trying to cut any links he's had to their company.
I doubt anyone would forget what he had done for Haruhi.
Eh, can it really be better than his work for Kannagi? Shit was awesome.
mehhhhh
I give up.
We'll see if anything else happens I suppose.
wow this is a big disappointment
It makes no sense to release in spring/summer, it's definitely a winter series. Reap all the holiday sales, they're just teasing us to hype it up... more.
You don't really believe that do you?
This is Haruhi 2's planned release schedule:
- Pigs fly
- Hell freezes over
- Duke Nukem Forever gets released
- Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya gets released
http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s194/Prodigal_Priest/hell.jpg?t=1234095122
It should've been released then already by THAT bit of logic.
This situation gets funnier and sadder at the same time.
The Haruhi fundamentalists (yes fundamentalists) sure must be jovial right now.
Yeah. All the newcomers (followers? in two meanings) can be shed easily, but those of us who were there from the start will continue to like the first series whether there is a second one or not. True fans have already read the novels anyway, and most probably consider the novels to be superior.
I was there from the beginning but im glad I got off the train before it crashed into the Tokyo tower.
Haruhi is Dead.
Hey, at least we'll be able to hear Minoru Shiraishi's wonderful voice again.
I really don't understand them. If Haruhi is so popular and a HUGE success, why not continue the cash cow with another season?
This scenario appears repeatedly with anime, video games, movies etc. Why on earth are they denying themselves so much money?
Perhaps for the (most likely) first time in history, the creators fear the outrage if they would f**k it up.
Its like the Terminator series, 1 and 2, awesome. When the third was released I was sad, if they had only left it alone. The story goes on with sequels all over the world, in all sorts of media...
No sequel is both a blessing and a curse. You have something to hope/imagine/wish for, and you wont have it ruined by a failed attempt.
another problem is, they mainly aimed for the fun parts in the 1st season. If that hypothetical 2nd season is indeed on the 4th novel's story.... it would be... much less funny. 'cause it's totally SERIUS BIZNIS
The headline pic was the most surprising part of the article. Any word on a source?
Hahaha!
All fear a drunken God and her drunken powers!

02/04/2009 - the day Kyoani became godlike trolls. NEVAR FORGET!
Why would any one be exited or satisfied over a TV repeat... I've re watched it three times since it first aired, years ago, and I'm over it.
You can watch a fourth.
We can do that right now, without a re-run on TV. Who even has a TV aerial connected, aside from the people who are ripping the raws? :-)
I'm still raging from what they've previously done!
I don't care anymore
Every last shred of hope in me is gone. No haruhi season 2, new president elected, economic downturn and the history channel broadcasting programs about armeggedon must be a sign. In a few more years we'll probably all be dead. So i guess we should give up our meaningless lives, build a bunker and watch anime til the end of days
Please, do NOT bash KyoAni for the marketing of Suzumiya Haruhi. They are NOT the trolls. Blame Kadokawa.
Sorry, we're all ripping KyoAni for being big trolls.
and a fifth...
but where will the anime come from? all the creators will be dead mr last-man-on-earth. face it ur best bet is to stick with nicholas cage, its the only way u'll survive.
too much talk. . . and delay.,. . . .
i think. . . i should leave haruhi for a while
where's FMP new season kyo-ani??????
Get over this shit already. Haruhi's era is over. The new HOT topic now is Noramimi... Oh wait.
Huh, who is Haruho?
Oh, K-On! better have good music/dance scenes and openings, seeing as it's centered around a band. (Maybe this is the band "that girl" was going to start.
Maybe they'll include the DVD extras in this rerun.
I may just keep tab on this, just to see if they're trying something. Even different animation warrants attention.
Haruhi-sama is not your typical girl after all.
Well they're not saying anything about season 2 and they may not have even started it yet, but it would make sense to show the first season again so that they can get as many viewers as possible for the "eventual" release of season 2. It might not be that far off. If I was KyoAni(which I'm not) I'd make a big deal about a re-airing of season 1 to get previous non-haruhi viewers interested so that they can snatch them up for the new season. Of course this is all just wishful thinking but if this is what they have in mind, then well played KyoAni.
keep dreaming...
I've said it once, twice, probably even three times.
I still hold faith.
Now your just in denial.
Why is he in Egypt?
you will be rewarded with your faith in the year 2012 when they will air the Rerun for the 3rd Time.
Sarcasm, its a good thing XD
but seriously, F***, for the love of god stop TAUNTING US!!!! DAMN YOUU NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH COMMITTEE!!!
I'm still calling a frantic scrapping of S2 in order to produce a Kyonko centered season.
And even though (if?) this isn't true, Kyonko fans are producing everything short of a new season as it is, so I'm pretty sated.
I'd be completely satisfied with the franchise's dicking around if they produced a 3 episode Kyonko OVA.
The Japanese edition of Newtype can eat dirt for even printing this.
Here's my rendition of these recent news, based on a post I made and one of my favorite songs. Please, don't mind the horrible grammar... and I know, I suck at poetry/lyrical stuff adaptations/blah... and the last verse is jut pure bullshit, please don't mind it... really xD

Crap I messed up... it isn't "At hypocrite's" but "A hypocrite's" xD forgot to spellcheck
this reminds me... i wonder if it'll be cool to convert the 3rd verse from an old song called "Stan" by rapper eminem and make it to something like fan-kyoAni
this' probably gonna be lame but.. i'll just try anyway, if anyone can think of a better line that would fit it... well whatever
Dear Mister-i'm-to-good-to-show-the-2nd-season-of-Haruhi-to-all-my-fans,
this will be the last package i'll ever send your ass! it's been 2 years now and still no show! i don't deserve it? i know you got all my postcards and fanmails now, i send them to your office personally.
Hey KyoAni, I drank the 5th of vodka, dare me to drive? you know the song by Hirano Aya the "Hare Hare Yukai" where all the guys and girls dances around like crazy, and everyone was smiling and everyone was lauging... that's kinda how it is, we coulda dance together like happy but now it's too late, i'm in a 1000 downers now i'm drowsy.
And all wanted was a lousy preview of the show, i hope you know i ripped all the haruhi pin-ups pictures and posters off the wall. I loved you KyoAni think about it! You ruined it now! I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it, and when you dream I hope you can't sleep and scream about it! I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breath without me!
See KyoAni... shuddup b*tch i'm trying to talk... hey KyoAni, that's my Haruhi figures and hug pillow in the trunk... see i didn't shred them up i just tied her up, i ain't like you... cause if she stays like that the prints and paints will break and they just get ruined too...
Well, I gotta go I'm almost at the bridge now... oh sh*t i forgot... i'm suppose to send this sh*t out!
the hare hare yukai thing.. can't think of anything good XP
crap.. i left out the "so this is my cassette im sending you i hope you hear it...." part before the 5th of vodka
sorry.. well nobody cares anyway XD
lol gg
hopefully nobody's gonna say something like "My grandpa wants to atleast watch the 2nd season of Haruhi before he dies" or something like that...
since we don't really know if they are even gonna air it or when it will happen... i don't even know if we can trust what they're saying... fans should probably just "stay put and distract yourself with something else while nothing is happening" or "stop looking forward to it"
then incase they finally, magically show the 2nd season, everyone can just go "Finally! Our prayers have been answered!" or "Woah! ...it's on... better tape it... gotta watch it next week too."
my grandfather loved this show hes already dead his only regret was not being able to see the new season.
I'm still awaiting the follow up to FMP:TSR. Meh, troll or no troll Haruhi S2 would be nice, but at this point I don't really care. I suspect a lot of people are with me on this too.
fuk yeah fmp the third raid. me wants now. fuk kadokawa! fuk kyo ani! fuk the author for being pussy! fuk haruhi too!!
Indeed, needs moar FMP!
take a long hard look at your surroundings think about how you feel take a deep breath. this is what hell feels like. its just all reruns....
I lost a whole of faith in Kyoto Animation a long time ago, ever since they started "trolling" about a possible 2nd season of Haruhi. Now the first season of Haruhi is airing just to get back at the director who got fired after episode 4 of Lucky Star? How immature can animation companies get?
This kind of behavior is a disgrace to the industry as well as Anime as a whole.
Correction: "a whole lot of faith"
This is what I called "Disappointment of Suzumiya Haruhi".
facepalm.jpg
Truth be told, I'd rather have another season of FMP than Haruhi.
"fans will doubtless be delighted to hear that they will once again be able to watch the show on TV, only a few years after it originally aired."
Haruhi must be the Powerpuff Girls or Cow and Chicken of Japan.
They must not have youtube there either...:P
It looks like The Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi is the Duke Nukem Forever of the anime: always be announced that it will be released soon but the release is always delayed for the sake of another new anime release.
Well, at least I found what it will be my April's Fool Day joke for this year (I always make one every year on a greek anime forum where I am moderator): the release of The Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi at May 2009! Lol. I wonder if anyone will fall for this...
assholes.
Is it just me or is everyone other than the haruhi cultists saying K-On will be the greatest thing slice bread :P
My Haruhi, It's s seems like the religion of mio is taking her place.
FIGHT TO THE DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am very disappointed of how they treat their fans. I was really hoping for a new season to be air but no luck it's just a rerun T_T
Well, they technically didnt lie, so its ok, i think it was the people that jumped to conclusions :p
Bait and switch. Baited everyone expecting a new haruhi season with info on an announcement of an announcement on an unknown anime. Switch was of course when they revealed what it actually was going to be. I can't say I've been eagerly waiting on new Haruhi specifically, but I am waiting for them to stop piddling around and decide to get to it and/or new FMP.
i'll go with it if they show some extra footage in season one if they not,some people including me gonna kill the goddess and her franchise.Death to Haruhi!!!
i'm a little annoyed. the sad thing is that i'm still going to watch k-on even though kyoani is pulling bs right now in addition to newtype.
Still LMAO @ the case of Haruhi Withdrawal Syndrome going around the 'net. Anime industries around the world are having trouble right now, and the main host is no exception. Be patient, chill, watch some moar Haruhi MADs and re-runs, and avoid pwning yourselves. She will bless you with her presence in due time. Remember, "nothing ever happens the same way twice."
figures, doujin, and good fan art will keep me fappin anyways till the 2nd season.
the second season will be air in the year 2021 xD ,Hugo Chavez said that...
haruhi
I won't lose faith to Haruhi but I've lost faith to KyoAni's marketing trollin'
It is so difficult to find a new dance?...
Who thought that such an announcement was worth Newtype's frontpage? Or, maybe more accurately, who paid for it?
Oh yay it's on TV again, it's not like I could download high quality episodes from the net and that they should actually be releasing the second season or anything....¬_¬
kyon and haruhi got married and rule the world as god and goddess...
KyoAni and Kadokawa can suck Eric Cartmann's balls, I'll just look for a new goddess whilst I await Oharuhi-sama's return.
LONG LIVE HORO! (and Tsuruya...)
all Hail Horo!!!! Sig Horo! (Horo!) Sig Horo! (Horo!) I am soo going to make one of those "Downfall" movie parodys where Hitler doesnt like NewType & Kadokawa's news of No second season for Haruhi. You've seen them on YouTube? Hitler hates Blu-Ray, Christmas, The new Star Wars movies...people re-write the subtitles to make Hitler look like an ass.
Which is just what Kadakawa is....and ASS!
If Haruhi is 'God' then technically who is the Anti-Christ in this situation?...who is preventing the "2nd Coming" of 'God'?...is it Kadokawa?
Sig Horo! (Horo!) Sig Horo! (horo!).
maybe..just maybe...all of these shenanigans are part
of a well weaved plan by the marketing group behind season 2...they would want to stress out that haruhi has indeed "disappeared" XD
Will try Duke Nukem Forever when it comes. So I think I wait for the 2nd season. Every company needs to make money, so why don't go with something that a majority of the people want!
Seriosly....FUCK THAT....
It looks like Haruhi second will be aired after my death
Whatever it is, Haruhi is still my GOD! :D
where is your god now?
Well, I see this rerun as a double edged sword.
They actually may decide upon making a second season by measuring the numbers the rerun of the first generates.
IF it performs poorly, they can go like: Yeah, we knew it there wasn't enough viewers.
But IF it performs well, they're obligated in making a second season to milk the cow.
Your decision. ^^
Meh~, it'll be produced at some point. I'm a patient guy, I could live with them doing K-On, Little Busters, FMP 4, and whatever before Haruhi 2.
K-On looks fun as well, it should keep me fairly entertained. This spring has got a nice line-up of shows.
waited...
on 1 april 2009, "the rerun of suzumiya haruhi" aired..
then bam!
it is actually the second season
on 1 april 2009 2nd season aired??? Oh i forgot it's april mop so kadokawa not aired it. Damn it
Cool. Now I can watch Code Geass!!!!
=D
;_;

Link incredibly related.
Meh I don't care even if it is the first season. I will still like Haruhi series even if they never release the 2nd season. I mean just because something doesn't have a sequel doesn't mean you should hate the first one all together. Besides I have the novels all though I want to know when the last book is going to come out.
I think people may need to consider the old proverb, "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me". Sure Kadokawa are dicks, I've tried to tell people that for a long time and not to trust Newtype whenever they hype a coming issue, but anybody who bought it this time really should consider blaming themselves a little too.
Where exactly do they breathlessly announce this? I can't find it in my issue of Newtype.
For reference, this is what I found:
http://img18.imageshack.us/my.php?image=haruhi1ct4.png
"朝倉涼子: キョンの同級生。委員長で優等生の美少女。長門と同じマンションにすんでおり、ときどき手料理を差し入れているようす。きょうはおでんだ。でも彼女が、なぜここに？"
"Asakura Ryoko: Kyon's classmate, a beautiful honors student who happens to be the class representative. She lives in the same apartment building as Nagato, with whom it appears she occasionally shares her cooking. Today's menu is oden. But, how can she be here?"
http://img6.imageshack.us/my.php?image=haruhi2pu9.png
"長門有希: 北高で唯一文芸部部員。静かに読書をしているのが好き。突然、おでんを持って現われた朝倉涼子に戸惑っているようす。彼女が見つめている人物とは、いったい...誰？"
"Nagato Yuuki: Northern Municipal's only Literary Club member. Likes to quietly read books. Appears to be a bit perplexed that Asakura Ryoko suddenly showed up with oden. But ... who is the person she's staring at?"
Obviously, this scene is content from The Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi, even though the title of the new season is indicated to be "The Melancholy." Are we supposed to believe that this actually happened within the time frame of 1st season?
Though obviously, this isn't definite evidence that it won't be a rerun, has it occurred to you that perhaps they're doing a second season with the same title as the first?
Seriously, I don't find any "breathless announcement" anywhere. All it is is vagueness with serious hinting at Disappearance content.
Could anyone confirm/inform this?
And in fact, has there been any precedent of a Newtype frontpage for a rerun?
It's just a Haruhi true believer clutching at straws. There are whole threads of them on 2ch still. Every single credible source I have seen accepts that this is just a grotesquely marketed repeat.
Truly credible?
There is no scan in this thread that explicitly indicates a rerun. There is nothing in the magazine that explicitly indicates a rerun. As I noted, all there is is vagueness -- not confirmation or denial.
The rumor of a rerun is being propagated by misinformed individuals who can't actually read Japanese and rely on similarly Japanese-illiterate blogs and other news sources for their information.
To be honest, I don't even really care if April is a rerun. The only reason I'm posting this at all is that the size of the misinformedness is getting to be disgraceful.
Every single source I have been reading has been in Japanese. None of them have interpreted it as anything other than a rerun. We hardly ever use non-Japanese sources here so you have no case. Go and read some of them instead of trying to show off your Japanese.
So show me an official Kadokawa news release with text that explicitly references a "rerun" for the April season of Haruhi. You previously linked a J-Cast article where the reporters profess not being able to get a confirmation of content from Kadokawa.

Can't you read?
TVアニメ「涼宮ハルヒの憂鬱」、改めてテレ玉ほか独立U局などで4月から放送開始決定
I like pie.
I bring forth a good reason to keep hoping. *if there are any Brits here they will know this but just keep quiet till the end*. A good series can come back even after years, want a example? Red Dwarf (for those who dont know what this is your a smeg head). After years of waiting and asking it has returned.
Quality isnt the issue here tbh everyone here wants a resolve (I want MOAR Nagato but thats beside the point). Newtype dont lie often so have faith. With that said the only thing other than wait we can do is spam the hell out of the producers.
