Haruhi Second Season Airs with Rerun

TV stations have now not only confirmed that the “new” season of Haruhi will start with a rerun, but also that it will amount to 28 episodes, finally confirming the “new episodes mixed in with or ont the end of the old episodes” theory.
Fans rejoice at the news, although they must by now be wary of unpleasant surprises…
As usual Haruhi-based news arrives in spurts: first, we heard that the title of the first episode aired would be the same as that from the original broadcast.
Now we hear that unofficial confirmation (it seems possible Kadokawa has ordered stations to hold back details) from TV stations, Saitama TV and Chiba TV, suggests the show will air in two “cours”, or seasons, and constitute 28 episodes, being treated as a “new” programme.
With the original coming in at 14 episodes, the only logical conclusion (not that logic has much place in Haruhi marketing) is that the additional 14 episodes will be the newly produced second season, and will either follow directly on from the broadcast, or be interspersed with the old episodes.
Via your friendly neighbourhood otaku.
This all seems an astonishing way of marketing your top franchise…

I don't believe you.
lol, at least this is something good to hear
I knew my supposed "naive optimism" would pay off eventually. Finally, time to enjoy something new.
k, wat?
k-on and Harihi and same time, hmm cant believe, but waiting
Haha, fools. I know if I gave a damn I wouldn't patronize them, but I didn't in the first place, so whatever.
That's some dammed screwed up marketing.
Carelessness? Or an intentional hit to the already crippled fanbase? Take your pick.
What's this? 2 KyoAni anime airing at the same time? Hmmm...
...Hurray?! :}
It is not the first time for KyoAni to air two titles simultaneously.
Mu-chan, yoshi yoshi...
(let's see who gets that...)
pretty sure everybody gets it, considering how much coverage SC has given to it.
What?
Suzumiya Haruhi-chan no Yuuutsu.
Incredulity of the Troll:
But a Troll, one of the Anonymous , called Anon, it was not with them when Haruhi was present.
They told him, the other Haruhist's:
--We have seen new chapters!!--
He said:
--If I don't see in my tv the sign of the SOS Brigade and I put my finger in the place of the rec button, and put my hand in the new episodes on the screen, I won't believe.--
Eight days later were another time their haruhist's inside, and with them Anon. Haruhi arrived, being the tv turned on, she was among them and said:
--Are you retarted.--
Then she said to Anon:
--Can't you tell? It's my SOS Brigade emblem again!
Then Anon said to her:
--My Lady and my God!--
Haruhi said:
--Because you have seen me, Anon, believe, blessed are those who are not Haruhist's and yet have believed.--
Gospel of Lulz 20:24-29
HELL, ITS ABOUT TIME!
good, now i can see haruhi in hi-res
There should be a new dance craze for this or I'm not watching it XD
Will they're be Gundams? IS SETSUNA IN THIS?! XD
Great if its a new season, but ill believe it when theirs fansubs
Yes. Now watch!
IN BEFORE CLIP SHOW
Bullshit. After all we've been through, I HIGHLY doubt they are going to release the second season. As somebody else mentioned, two reruns, one chronologically.
WTF.....eh, might as well enjoy it
This, a thousand times this. I don't give a fuck about Kadokawa's insanity; if the show's good, then it's good. If it's not, it's not. It's not like they're somehow hurting me personally with this ill-advised mind-screw marketing.
YATTA!!! HARUHI BANZAI!!!
I'll believe this when, and only when, I have the first episode of the new season subbed, downloaded, and watched. Even while downloading I'm still going to be half expecting it all to be a lie.
Only makes me dislike Kadokawa more. What is WITH them?
None of their idiotic marketing schemes are remotely interesting, they should just produce and show the shows like everyone else does. I mean, who the hell do they think they are?
*Bangs forehead on table repeatedly until the 15th episode shows up*
Another rerun -> *Repeats procedure until all 28 episodes are over*
Bah, screw Kadokawa.
I'm boycotting the new season, IF there is one (...for as long as I can until my willpower gives in).
Actually, they'd like that, since I have to download each episode to watch it anyway...
...So, I'll watch it downloaded, but I won't buy the DVDs then!
April Fools?
My birthday's this month. God's second coming is this month or so. Best time of my life (not sad at all).
You guys do realize that if this turns out to be true then more than half of the "trolled" instances were really just information leaks that they covered up because they wanted this to be a surprise because it's fucking Haruhi. Meaning no body was really trolled at all.
Oh wait, what am I saying? It's cooler to hate on things, right? It's what everyone else is doing so I have to join in. Please, forgive me. What I meant was...
LOL HARUHI SUCKS. I can't beleieve peoples still watch this horrible show. It wasnt even good to begin with. It was horrible. That's why it wa sso popular. Becasue popular things are the things that are the suck. That is the lrogical conclusion. LOL TROLLED I HATE HARUHI I"M BURNGING MY NOVEL AND DVDS FUCK THIS TUCK FIROLL.
Here's to hoping it isn't epic fail.
SO AWESOME!!!!! FINALLY!! <3333
I want to believe!
the truth is out there...
bad move.They should've done this eons ago.
lol so much distrust around here,where is the love-love for SOS-dan guys?
Seriously i really like to believe in this new but it seem kinda of hard after all trolling we have been though

would it be that sighs 1-4, boredom, and someday in the rain are also new works?
Boredom and someday in the rain aint new, but sighs 1-4 indeed are
but thats only 26 episodes
Nope, sorry, not trolling me again.
but i wouldnt want to watch it as haruhi-chan, that shit sucks. they'd have to make it normal...
So where's the source of this news? Even on Haruhi's Website they are still saying it is still 14 episodes and the fanclub news mail haven't sent me anything about it...
Haruhi
wait and see, I'll keep my enthusiasm at sea level so if this trun out to be a hoax,it won't backfire much.
don't get your hopes too high. it'll just make the fall more painful.
you people really gonna believe this load of crap?
seriously???
So... does this mean Kadokawa and Tanigawa settled?
I was under the impression Tanigawa wanted his royalties under his old contract increased due to the popularity explosion of the series. Was this resolved?
with all the negative publicity prior, i somehow can't get excited with the fact there is indeed going to be new haruhi episodes.
the way they kept fans guessing if the airing is going to be a re-run is like the worst possible marketing strategy ever.
if they were going to show the old eps alongside the new ones they should have dammed just announce it normally.
I bet my ass that Kadokawa ist going to reair the reairing so...
old season (14) + old season (14) = 24
kthxbye
I lol'd at this
14 + 14 equals 24 now? Wow.
this would make no sense at all, at all
he said before that a second season will air, everybody was expecting airs in the schedulled date, but instead he says the old season will re-run, he didn't lied, the second season was already planned.
Gigazine & J-Cast: 2009 Haruhi Will Be 28 Episodes Long:
The Gigazine website: (http://gigazine.net/index.php?/news/comments/20090403_haruhi_2nd/) has updated its article about the ongoing "renewed" airing of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya television anime series to corroborate reports that the airing in Japan will be 28 episodes long. The original 2006 Japanese airing of the anime was only 14 episodes long. Gigazine contacted the Teletama broadcasting station, and a representative reportedly told Gigazine that "we hear from the client that it is 28 episodes long." The Teletama representative also told Gigazine that the station does not know the details of the episodes' content — just that "it is 28 episodes long."
The J-Cast news website: (http://www.j-cast.com/2009/04/03038834.html) also contacted Teletama, and a representative said that the station heard that "renewed" airing will include new material because of the planned 28-episode allotment. The 2009 airing began on Friday with the episode "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya I" ("Suzumiya Haruhi no Yūutsu I"). This is the first episode chronologically in the science-fiction comedy storyline, but the second episode to air during the original 2006 broadcast.
Wtf this makes no sense why in God's name would Kadokawa market their franchise like this? If it's airing it seems that they would want as much publicity as possible.
Nice....
... boat.
Well... I'll only think it's true once I saw it !!
Fugly trolls... >_<
^^ wat
Nice April Fools
Fuck Haruhi. Seriously, when will you people get over that pathetic excuse of a franchise. It doesn't even have any lovable characters beside WAWAWA WASUREMONO and the spin-off Nyoro~n.
Even the author has stopped churning out books.
"WAWAWA WASUREMONO" Lucky Star, lol?
+ you forgot 'bout Yuki, but yeah, she's better in "-chan"...
You would do well to re-watch the Haruhi rerun and lookout for "WAWAWA WASUREMONO" because that appeared in Haruhi first and then KyoAni self-referenced it in Lucky Star.
Thanks muteKi, but right after posting I remembered that scene >_<"
(look@reply time)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjVwNe64yao
What he's talking about
Oh, sowwy, THAT "WAWAWA WASUREMONO"...
*wa-wa-wa wasuremono~~*
Is it not dangerous to troll against Haruhists? And you probably don't like the characters because they are all extreme stereotype personalities. The one I liked most was Yuki but there is other characters with her character type that I like much more. Also Mikuru absolutely destroyed the show for me.
The only reason I watched that show was for Mikuru.
"Also Mikuru absolutely destroyed the show for me."
Quoted For Truth
The show is friggin' over-rated. It's nothing special at all and I don't understand how people can get so agitated over "NO SEASON 2"
And remain loyal for so long after the show ended. Goes the same for Evangelion.(which has even worse cases of fanatics)
"So by watching a show I enjoy, I can piss off some guy I’ve never even met? That just makes it better."
If you like the show thats fine, now if you only like it just to fit in with the cool kids or because everyone else says it's good then you deserve to gouge your own eyes out.
"now if you only like it just to fit in with the cool kids or because everyone else says it’s good then you deserve to gouge your own eyes out."
The fact that you even desperately think about bullshit like that makes you a sad, sad person.
My god, don't you pieces of shit have anything else to do than thinking about why people like this and that show?
So by watching a show I enjoy, I can piss off some guy I've never even met? That just makes it better.
BAWWWW PEOPLE LIKE AN ANIME I DON'T LIKE
HOW CAN THIS BE?? I DUNT UNDERSTAND DERP DERP
They'll most probably mix the 2nd season episodes among the rerun ones, that way they force everyone to watch the whole thing.
so in other word we must wait for 13 weeks after first season rerun than go to 2nd season... correct?
I'd believed it when I saw it cause it's, for me, a bad marketing campaing
Fake
It's quite simple.The second Haruhi season will likely be Koyoto's Summer anime offering and likely air(and continue the story)from season one of Haruhi.Kodokawa likely has alot planned around this which likely means heavily promoting Haruhi season 2 during the rerun of the first 14 episodes.
I can see the light...
It's a train's light. Going right to you. :(
Sounds believable to me.
Gives people the chance to get back into the Haruhi fever and also lure in new fans.
Still, there's no way the 2nd season can live upto the hype so it's all going to be one big anti-climax in the end, and you have Kadokawa to thank for that.
Yay~ Haruhi~
Off topic:
Artefact, I had a dream about you last night. The dream started out with me sat on MSN and some random person added me. They didn't tell me who they were they just started asking me questions about where I lived and stuff like that. I assumed that it was you and I asked why you were contacting me. You said I was one of the 'chosen'. You told me that the world would end very soon and you would save a select few of humans to begin the human race again.
At the point my dream jumps to a scene at my local park.
I was sat on the swing just staring into the sky when a huge car pulled up about 10 meters away for me. An old guy came out of it and pulled open the back door and a masked (the mask was similar to the one Sadakiyo wears in 20th Century Boys) figure stepped out and began walking towards me. I knew that it was you and hopped off of the swing. You told me to watch the sky. We both looked up to see a huge missile come through the air headed towards a random tower in the town centre. You shouted at me that it had begun and you vanished into thin air. You were suddenly in a huge Black mech (Like this: http://www.starstore.com/acatalog/israfel-alpha-vinyl.jpg) and you were chasing the missile. other mechs appeared similar to yours and I was grabbed by one.
Again my dream jumped to something different.
A huge tornado of water was demolishing the town that I live in destroying everything, you and a group of the other mechs were pushing it back trying to stop it. You did something and a large symbol came up in the air (your avatar) and the water died down. All of the mechs landed into a wasteland where I had lived and you exited the mech. You pulled off the mask to reveal your face. You had short-ish blonde hair and really deep blue eyes. Quite tall and very thin.
And I woke up~
Back on topic, can't wait to see the new Haruhi season :D
From what Iread until you started talking about the mechs. I was reminded of that horrendous piece of shit of a movie I saw which was Knowing.
SCREW YOUR RELIGIOUS UNDERTONES/OVERTONES YOU WORTHLESS EXCUSE FOR A F**KING PIECE OF SHIT MOVIE.
This has the makings of an anime of at least reasonable quality...
Haha, maybe. It's a little empty. I wanna know why the world was ending...
And how the crap did someone like me become chosen?
Artefact, you inspire my dreams.
this has potential to be true!
We have a thread about our San*Con and anime dreams in the forums too.
Holy shit...
> And how the crap did someone like me become chosen?
Hmm... Maybe the "chosen ones" are people that visit sankakucomplex and somehow he tracked them...
¯\(°_o)/¯
SUCCESSFULL TROLL IS SUCCESSFULL
FUCK KYOANI
This is either the ultimate troll or the ultimate marketing ploy . . .
14 episodes of Yuki-chan please.
Cake: it is a lie
But it could be delicious, so the fans wait and hope for it anyway.
I wonder what will happen after is the second season is aired?
World end?
for sure the world will come to an end. i said this after kadokawa trolled the shit out us that time, or was it that other time? the world will end after the second season is over, and ill be happy =P
Probably a good idea for the world to end so that we won't have to wait 3 years for the 3rd season XD
Trol!!
still rejoice???
i would be laughing my ass off if its another joke from KyoAni... (or maybe the rest of the eps is Suzumiya Haruhi-chan)
It's Kadokawa that's trolling the fans, not KyoAni. Get your facts straight...
