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'm with the nice boat theory. 14*25 minutes of boat footage set to classical music for the latter half of the run. The new "series" will be titled "涼宮ハルヒのいい舟 - The Fine Watercraft of Haruhi Suzumiya." DVD sales will still top the charts, if only because of retailers' "No cancellation of pre-orders" policies.

    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.

    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 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"

    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.

    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

    Sun Television, the broadcasting station in Japan's Hyōgo Prefecture that is Japan's first station to run The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya anime's "renewed airing" in 2009, has begun its run with the episode "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya I" ("Suzumiya Haruhi no Yūutsu I") just after midnight on Friday. This is the first episode chronologically in the science-fiction comedy storyline, but the second episode to air during the original 2006 broadcast. Yahoo! TV Japan had listed another episode, "Mikuru Asahina's Adventure Episode 00", ("Asahina Mikuru no Bōken Episode 00"), as the first episode for another station, Sendai Television (OX).

    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.

    14 episode divide by 2 = 28 episodes

    i think he means that they will divide each episode into two parts, thus make 28 episode...

    Come on people. They're obviously going to animate Endless 8 and show it to us 14 different times.
    But we can always hope for 14 episodes of Kyonko.

    This person knows whats goin down. They're going to cover the content in the novels that the first season skipped past (there was a lot of good story in there too so it would be a shame if they just followed on from the end of The Disappearence of Haruhi Suzumiya arc.)

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.--

    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.

    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.
