In a few hours, it will be known whether the latest episode of the Haruhi rerun will be a new episode or not. But it seems the prospect of waiting days for the episode to air in their own region, or having to wait hours to see it by other means, is just too much for Haruhi otaku.
We hear this from a 2ch denizen:
“I work in a Saitama business hotel. Since yesterday we have been having all kinds of calls asking whether the hotel has reception of Saitama TV [which carries one of the earliest airings of the episode]… I laughed.”
Truly, missing the look on their faces should this turn out to be a jolly Kadokawa marketing ploy would be a tragedy…

I can't believe that there are still some who still believes despite of past Kodokawa marketing ploys
I voted for the troll option....but I'm willing to be pleasantly surprised.
They expect for the worst and hope for the best.
The otakus are singing.
Never gonna give you up, Please do not let us down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Pleas do not make us cry, never gonna say goodbye
Because if you tell a lie we will hurt you
lol
This made me laugh so hard. +1 internets for you!
Why won't the fans make a daily demonstration around Kadokawa Shoten ? Seeing 100 people outside their work screaming HARUHI OR DEATH should give them a nice motivation. Or sending threat letters "Give me new episodes or I will kill that kitty !" They should know not to mess with fanatics...
Kinda glad i'm already 80% converted to Mioism (never was a Haruhist, actually, i'm more like a Nagatoist) or else i'd already rage on this one. I only wait for Haruhi S2 to see more Nagato, Tsuruya and Ryoko (if she's still alive).
*Brace myself with Kyun Barrier from Haruhists' attacks*
How long more till Zero hour?
One more hour.
30 minutes more. Can someone get on 2ch for some updates? I wanna be one of the first to lulz.
The number of comments on this post shows a lot. I can't help admiring the devotion of Haruhists. How about paying $200 to stay in a hotel on the off-chance you might see an anime episode a few days earlier? For their sake -- and the sake of the anime business -- I hope this is not a cheap trick.
It's not entirely devotion as much as curiosity.
Srsly, i just wanna see whether the guys get trolled or not.
Brace for some epic lulz.
im waiting for tomorrows headlines.. otaku all over japan raged kadokawa for false hopes!!
this will be kyo-anis greatest gift..
or its greatest trollage.
either way an hour from now will see some great discussion allover the web
"Then shit hits the fans" I'm used to all this new Haruhi season news by now, hopefully this one is a new episode
Waiting for Angry Mob...
NICE BOAT, KADOKAWA. :D
I think we should start a crusade against Kadokawa if this is a fake again. WHO IS WITH ME!? FOR HARUHI!!
See? The prime minister was right. Otaku tourism will save Japan!
She is back, she is back, she is back.
I can only say...
HEELLL YEEEAHHHH
New ED and Bamboo leaf in one episode, they're going to run out of material fast. There'll be no Haruhi 3 for another 3 - 5 years i'd bet.
Also hated the fact that they dropped/marginalized the Kyonarrations. I mean i heard less narrations and witty comments from Kyon today.
Because it knew there is an article though it is Japanese
http://up2.viploader.net/pic/src/viploader1024899.jpg
This news is just to much. I'm going to need a new pair of pants and a truck load of tissues.
sheesh took long enough
If it's really real.. Then this will be the best Birthday present i ever had, right on 21st of May~ X3
Oh wait, it's already 22.. :(
HA! :D
Oh, nope.. I believe they air it right on 21st but internet articles came out right on 22nd in the midnight.

New Haruhi Suzumiya Anime Episode Airs
posted on 2009-05-21 11:50 EDT
"Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody" is 1st animated episode since original 2006 run
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 aired the first new anime episode in almost three years on early Friday morning. The 2009 airing has been running its episodes in the story's chonological order, and "Sasa no Ha Rhapsody" ("Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody") is the next story chronologically in Nagaru Tanigawa and Noizi Ito's original science-fiction comedy light novels. However, this episode was not animated during the anime's first airing in 2006.
CONFIRMED.
Fuck this i've got better things to do.
Ha ha! Someone's mad because he didn't get his epic lulz.
Hell yes i am.
Kadokawa = now offically lulzkiller
http://dec.2chan.net/24/res/3664791.htm
WTF?
Wooo.. those look pretty convincing.
*Slowly turning back into a Haruhist*
Uhhh....2chan is either re-creating the entire of the supposed new episode in photoshop, or it's a new episode. I'm betting the first one.
Can anyone else hear the 24 beeps or is that just me?
okaaay... so
its the new scenes ne..
i wonder how many subbers will do this
http://dec.2chan.net:81/24/src/1242921363118.jpg
she looks pretty angry
OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!
Seriously, it'll probably be all of them. But there'll be some troll subs first of course...
SHE IS BACK!!!!!!
Despite this new episode, I still don't feel safe rejoicing since I've read about Kadokawa's trolling. I'll celebrate when they show more than 4 episodes total. I just don't trust that Kadokawa is going to air more episodes at this point, since they seem forever set to cock tease their viewers.
I'm glad I'm only a recent addition to the Haruhi fandom. I've only been in for a month (though, watching form afar since about christmas...) and this constant "will they?" "No, it's reruns" "Dual airing" "YES NEW SEASON" "Oh, wait, both chronologies." "fffffffffffffffffff" crap would have driven me insane over the long term.
The fans that are still devoted after all this crap deserve better treatment for their loyalty.
CONFIIIIIIIIIIIRMED!!!
no comment
5 hours from now will be the greatest event in the history of anime. ALL HAIL HARUHI
5 hours from now will be the greatest event in the history of anime. ALL HAIL HARUHI
One way or another.
Truly but dangerous words... u_u
FUCK OFF
no u
no u
Moar Haruhi goodness now. pl0x
It shouldn't be anything special or extravagant if no Kadokawa, or Kyoto Animation flags are seen burning, people carrying torches and pitch forks, speaking in old english. . .
Haruhi = shit wanna cfd 2 season >..<
that hotel should doing promotion during the first air of haruhi in their region... preparing one big screen tv for them and charge them with a package... all otaku will fly there to watch first aired haruhi...
but if the haruhi that will air one is the old one that hotel need to prepare the rising of otakus rage...
Yes, they would make a killing in money... and in the middle of the big screen tv would be a count down to when Haruhi actually airs.
PLACE YOUR BETS! PLACE YOUR BETS!
New episode, or the final nail in the offin?
I'm going in with a positive view, and say new episode.
WILL OUR GOD RETURN?
Best case scenario: first few minutes are new footage, then it goes to an old episode.
That picture is so moe I cried.
Also: I'LL BE WAITING EAGERLY
Ugh... I do hope it is a new episode. Wouldn't want an angry mob to suddenly arise.
And LOL at the hotel thing XD
Haruhi-ism!
Haruhi? Who is she? Am just waiting to see Yuki.
I will cry in tears of happiness if my Goddess actually returns...
I too will also cry manly tears
AMEN!!!
ALL HAIL HARUHI-SAMA!!!
"Gods, espers, time travelers and aliens" will always be more interesting than "lousy guitar playing"
Just give up.
The K-On anime is far too shallow to be a stayer.
It just has pretty moe girls.
Mio and the K-ON phenomenon will quickly diserpate after the show ends, in a similiar fashion to Toradora.
This kind of expectation towards Haruhiism will never be equalled, not even by Mio. If this is truth then K-ON's popularity will be left in the dust.
"It just has pretty moe girls."
MoE girls stayed forever
Haruhi-sama > all. We all know it.
THIS IS BIGGER THAN NEW YEAR COUNTDOWN! Tell me you're gonna post on the new episode Artefact. Be it troll or not.
so would Haruhi x Mio make everyone happy?
I'm sure most haruhi fans are indeed guys. Probably 60% to 70% of fans are. And you can't get through to these people, they've been haruhi-washed. I'm starting to think haruhuism is a real religion. I larger threat to humanity than even scientology.
Haruhi is mediocre. The light novels are a little better, because there's far more in-depth content. Still (the light novels), it was made to sell like water to girls, and not really to be anything philosophical/deep (although some less educated people may think otherwise).
Some1 should make a Haruhi bible
AMEN!!!
ALL HAIL HARUHI-SAMA!!!
Let us all pray in the holy gospel of Haruhi Suzumiya:
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
AMEN!
ALL HAIL HARUHI-SAMA!
manly tears ftw.
I'd buy it ... >_>
ALL HAIL HARUHI-SAMA!
Let us all shed manly tears for when Haruhi-sama OUR GODDESS for when she returns to our grace, and answers our prayers!
ALL HAIL HARUHI-SAMA!
Haruhi-sama works in mysterious ways, after all.
This is because 95% of them have long since converted to Mioism.
I have always been with the church of Horo-ism....
even though she isn't a god.. only considered a god by humans..
although I am also praying that Haruhi will be back.
just...wow...at the gospel of lulz...its almost 100% coherent... anyways am looking forward to seeking greatness once again.
Guess all those calls and this thread of replies answers the question of "Are Haruhi fans still faithful?"
Why NOT an angry mob? it might get the damn thing shown eventually.
True Haruhists around the globe are holding their breath at this crucial moment!
It better be a damn new episode.
It better be...
if not...!1!! all the rage from the Haruhists will crush Kadokawa.
What time will it start?
Thats right RAAAAAAAAAAAGEEEEEEEEEEE!
wow, marketing advantage... must exploit...
Betting on no new episode. :D
I love how now that they get their second season, everyone is all "YAY HARUHI" but when they had to wait they jumped on the "Haruhi is shit" bandwagon.
I hate all of you. Seriously.
I never stopped loving or defending Haruhi. All of you people get the fuck out of the fandom and go back to burning your copies of the book or whatever the hell you did.
anon is an individual entity now
he is no longer anon, for he has left legion. We are legion, for we are many and with this many we are bandwagon.
you're not helping by subtly trolling with k-on.
omfg
You are all crazed.
he also sounds a bit crazed...
