The latest episode of Haruhi brings the start of a new and much anticipated arc, The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya / 涼宮ハルヒの溜息 (- no Tameiki), originally expected by many to air much earlier in the second season’s schedule until the looping of the Endless Eight became evident.
The episode is clearly marked as “Part I”, so a continuation is obvious, putting into some confusion where exactly the few unaired episodes from the first season will be shown in the reportedly 28-episode long broadcast.
Aside from the obvious fan relief to see another multi-part arc commence, sharp eyed 2ch-goers did note one likely in–studio reference from KyoAni: these seemingly Mio and Yui lookalikes in the train near the end of the episode:
Many comments regarding the significant resemblance between the character designs used for the new Haruhi episodes and that used for K-ON! are also circling about, perhaps making this cameo all the more fitting.

KyoAni should've aired this arc in reverse order just to piss everyone off. It would've been awesome. :)
They should've end Endless Eight on the 2nd part, & aired this one instead.
They should air another endless 8 next
They should've aired the remaining 1st season eps before finishing e8. Now THAT would be a troll.
Nah,a better idea would have been alternating endless arc and this arc in total random order XD
Bang yourself in the butthole Artefact get.

haruhi suzumiya 2009 sucked big time yo
Sorry, but does this show only air in Japan?
I happen to be traveling and am in Korea and was wondering if anyone knew whether there was a multi cast since there seems to be an abundant amount of anime shows imported.
thx.
You can always get it on youtube if nothing else. :P
I suppose that's not what you meant, but they have the eps on there.
You can find the episode very quickly as a raw in Google, and within a few hours you can find pretty decent fan subs
thx
IMO, the new art style SUCKS. Bring back the old one, KyoAni!
I think the only real difference is how Haruhi looks in these new episodes. IMO, the others still look the same.
New style? When did it ever change?
Haven't you noticed how different Haruhi looks in this season compared to the 2006 season?
yeah the new art style does suk. Nagato especially looks weird. Haruhi reminds me too much of Yui for some reason. Bring back the old style!
I never lreally noticed till you said that, but you're right. She is rather Yui-ish. (How observant I are...)
hell yes, the old style was much better. haruhi is now a bit ugly whenever she does an expression... stupid kyoani and their money-saving scheme to simply use the K-ON artists.
Yuki has super speed.
Yuki can kick superman's ass.
Superman's ass?! Wha..?
Rule 34.
XD
But only Wesley Willis can whoop Batman's ass.
Especially when he gets on his nerbs.
Kyon should grope Mio... they're on train and it cant' be helped !
Chikan power
WOW! Those 2 girls in the train REALLY do look like mio and Yui. I can't believe thay caught that. That is some eye they have. They REALLLY do look exactly like them. WOW!!
*sarcasm* (=_=);
*sarcasm* Where can I spot those two in the light novels?
I merely report what 2ch (and other Japanese sources) cite, so don't the messenger. ^^
i just dont give a fk about this series anymore
Very few people do.
Well the anime was made into a crap with the last arc, but the light novels are just fine, and way better.
+1
+101
We share your pain.
well why bother wasting your times here and go back to your ordinary life..
after watching EE, fuck i just realize there's really nothing worth to this series anymore, i mean seriously, what could possibly be so significant for the upcoming following series. Story-wise, there's nothing great on it anymore as far as i can see it tbh.
'The disappearance of Haruhi' was a great story where you see next to nothing of Haruhi! So the kyu-tard animators will concentrate on every other character and not revolve around that wench.
Ah, Nagato.. just throw away your inhibitions and completely claim Kyon your own. Enjoy the end of the everything as Haruhi pops a head vein as you cowboy him in front of her!
That seriously is the best comment I've read on this blog yet. Points for style and references.
Agree... and I fapped to the pic of Nagato above... God I want to have wild monkey sex with her just to break her emotionless composure.
Kyo-ani is betting watchers will call the next Haruhi episodes great (regardless of actual quality), if only because it's NOT more Endless Eight!
Anyone heard any of the rumors about Kyoani working on season 4 of Full Metal Panic.Supposably it should be up next or within the next few projects Kyoani has in the works....besides K-ON! Season 2 of course.After season 2 of Haruhi winds up, i don't care if it's another 2 years til we see it again.After the Endless 8 arc, all i want to see in the near future from Kyoani are follow ups to FMP and K-ON!.FMP sorely needing a followup and K-ON! naturally deserving a quick/timely second season.
i heard K-ON season 2 will be made after duke nukem forever will be released.
Well considering it was canceled...
:<
yes. that was the joke.
Stop spreading rumors you cunt fuck.
cunt fuck
funckt
cunt get
cunt got
I heard that K-on season 2 will come out after macross frontier 2 next fall/
It comes out after Spider Man 4.
It comes out after 'Duke Nukem Forever'.
It comes out after 'Dreamcast 2'
About the "Infinite Superiority of Haruhi Suzumiya"
Watching this episode reminds me how much better Haruhi is than most of the repetitive, unimaginative, derivative, cookie cutter crap out there.
There is more story, more character development, more moe, and just plain more pleasure in this one episode than in the entire K-On first season.
Haruhi's 2 songs and brief guitar playing were superior to the entire aggregated K-On performances.
Kyon's sister >>> Ui.
That said, K-On is still better than 90% of all other anime this season.
I don't care about minor changes in character design or animation. I care about story.
O yeah, Mio is my waifu, but Haruhi is my mistress.
stfu with that weeabo waifu shit.
i completely agree to everything you said, especially story over little details.
fmp!?
wonder what testarossa will look like
i mean, they got new animation technique soooooo
the hell
doesn't look like them at all
You need to be a little bit more creative to spot them I guess.
I can make them out.
Itsuki's face in pic no.5 started to show some sign of QUALITY..
And your comment here shows a sign of retardedness.
Stop attempting to start a flame war with your random trolling and go back to bed, Little Jim.
Awesome Kong is not awesome. At all.
MeidoNiac, go suck a elephants cock bitch
samefag^
That Itsuki pic makes me blood boil.I hate the new art style and that picture makes it blatantly obvious that it's not the same awesome style from season 1.
I thought it looked rather good, actually. On that pic, mind you, I'm not watching season 2.
TOTALLY NOT MAI YUI AND MIO. Their skirts are different colors, and the hair lengths are also too short - Yui's hair comes a little more past her neck, and Mio's hair is waaaaay longer. Their heights are also wrong (but then again, knowing Kyoto Animation and that last fiasco with the album and perspective...).
But if it really was Yui and Mio, I'm a little mad. I support more Ritsu x Mio...
They look nothing like mio, and man, what happened to kyoani ? they really dont care about haruhi, this episode looks like it was animated by trainees. Substandart animation, inconcistente character design, and none of the features from kyoani previous animation, gonne is the hair detail of mikuru and haruhi.
/sarcasm on/
yeah that looks soooooooo mio and yui like........
/sarcasm wont stop dammit..../
I miss Endless Eight.
still the designs are not as similar to k-on than that new anime so*ra*wo*to that is truly a k-on ripoff
totally dont give a fuck about this series any more and i have first season on dvd, and an advanced reading of “The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya”
what are they loocking at in the second picture XD
thers gonna be a k-on! ova for sure next january. its possibly that they might make a 2nd season, since all the ridiculous K-on! merchandise is actually being bought.
Me don't like new art-style.
art evolves, you cant do anything about that.
Or in this regards...
Art "DE-rolves" or "Regresses" or "Mutates" or "Debases" or just plain "Awful"
lol @ much anticipated arc
damn haruhi suzumiya sucked big time, and now they're showing this.... this is bullshit
what was wrong with the ep?
thats one evil smile Haruhi has in this ep.
Geesh, for the luv of otakus, there's nothing for the series anymore, the story's just that and that's it.
Sigh... i hope this can repair damage done by endless boredom...
The endless eight is finally over? I...I feel so at peace now.
Haruhi FUCKING SUCKS! I say Mikuru sends them all back to the morning of August 6th ,1945 and watch the beautiful Fiyawerks!!!!!!!! EVERYONE WINS OOHAHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
except for you.
I wasn't born in japan , so I do win dipshit.
U realize that wouldnt end well for anyone.
Haruhi:What was that? Where are Mikuru, Koizumi, and Kyon?
Yuki:They died.
Haruhi:I will make whoever killed them pay. Wiat, why are u still alive Yuki?
Soldier:Those clothes violate the Bushido code, u will be executed for treason.(fires his gun)
Haruhi(stops bullet):What? I can do that? Now I will destroy u all for hurting my brigade members.
Gods second coming, a hundred years early.
Except Kyon is god, not Haruhi. :P
1. She's not god. 2. They all be destroyed in a nuclear blast and if they lived they be irradiated 3. She can't change the past dumbass , if she did she probably wouldn't exist.
Technically, based on the information we have so far, any one of the characters could be god, but the general assumption in discussions unless stated otherwise is that Haruhi is god. And one of them must be god considering that the world, including Haruhi and the IDE, was totally rewritten in Disappearance. Also the reason Mikuru's faction showed interest in Haruhi in the first place is because they were unable to travel back to before Haruhi's data explosion so 1945 does not exist in that universe. And even if Haruhi somehow died Yuki still wouldnt be affected at all. According to Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya she can block anything from lasers to mini-black holes with minimal damage so a pre-fusion power A-bomb wounldnt do much.
obviously you're a fucking loser if you go so in depth of a retarded ass anime. And none can be god because japs originally worshipped many gods,cause they're freaks
post test under way
Now it would be interesting if the rest of the eps being aired are all new ones, and they don't actually bother finish re-airing the first season in between, just to make things more confusing
wont happen according to this timeline:
http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Suzumiya_Haruhi:Timeline
They sticked to the chronolgical order with this new Season. I guess it ends with someday in the rain..sadly.
New animation is a lot more detailed and better looking if you ask me. Look at the old and new side by side and the difference is pretty clear.
lol... finally... i´ve got pretty high hopes for this arc^^
DO WANT!
After reading the novels, I can guarantee that Sighs is an awesome arc. Lots of weird things going on. Oh - and don't forget the talking cat.

2nd line / 1st picture...
These two girls resemble me of Azu-Nyan and Ritsu a little
duh
Endless Hate has pretty much turned me totally off...
I got the light novels, so I might as well just read them and get over with the story.
KyoAni.. I'm dissapointed in you.
Kanon, Clannad, Afterstory, Lucky Star, Haruhi Suzumiya 1st season... K-On.
And now, you think that you'll still have HUGE audiences...?
Cheers;
Nick
The animator of all those hands is still amazing.. but... The faces.
Wow. This isn't the first season by far; what with the spec sheets being utterly ignored in many shots of Haruhi. Since this is the newest episode of the show, I actually watched it thru to.. the... end.....- No I lied!
I lied! I dozed off halfway thru~ I look at those pictures but don't remember nearly half of them! The carter malaise of '~Haruhi' still exists!!!
I am going to drink some More coffee, wait till the afternoon. and Watch. This. Episode.
But back to the first paragraph: Maybe it really means that most of the original animation crew who worked on the first one are not working for kyu-tard.
Outside of that astounding hand animation, the rest -Haruhi the most glaring- is somewhat less then the past.
Hankyu! Kewl.
For the uninitiated:

I, for one, enjoyed Endless Eight. After that arc, I really started respecting KyoAni more. I think Endless Eight proved that KyoAni aren't just doing whatever their fans ask. And that they value being artistic over being rich. Things like Endless Eight is what a show like Haruhi is really all about, really, only the people who started watching it just because everyone else did won't get that.
Anime fans act like they are so damn full of love and respect for their shows their creators. But things like Endless Eight prove just how full of shit they really are. I thought that the arc was an unique experience, and that it was a very brave move for any animation studio to do. The people who didn't enjoy or understand Endless Eight weren't the ones who enjoyed the first season of Haruhi for the right reasons.
I haven't seen the new episode yet, but I'm really looking forward to the new arc. I didn't like Haruhi that much BEFORE Endless Eight, honestly, but now I'm really loving it. So all you EE-haters, get out of this fandom quick so that I can have all of this entertaining show all for myself. <3
About the animation, I can't say that "I hate it" or that "it's bad", but... I saw the leaning towards the K-On! style from episode one of the new season. It's "different", and I don't know if I think this kind of style suits Haruhi the way it did K-On!, but as long as the animation flow and details are good I can't really find a good reason to complain.
..lmao, the last picture got me, where shes carrying a Desert Eagle.
That's not a Desert Eagle it's replica toy,cause Japan sucks . Can't own or sell guns there , instead you can buy BB & Air Soft WOOPTY FUCKING DOO!!
Make Haruhi looks like Haruhi. NOT YUI!!!
in the 10th image... The fourth square... ¿k-on? XD
Haruhi's face looks extra retarded.
hell yeah, more haruhi.....not endless eight
They already destroyed this thing, so NO THANKS!
...the characters look less cute than last season...
I like how the screenshots make it look indistinguishable from any other episode.
The amount of QUALITY in this episode is horrible. KyoAni must of run out of money making the endless eight arc.
MAKE THE EPS COME FASTER KYO ANI!! hell you had wasted 2 eps..you should have had the time to create more eps...
oh man sooo many haters. i thought this episode was great. i lol'd so much, especially over everyones assignments for the movie xD.
2010 haruhi calendar: the same picture for 8 months.
where is Tsuruya-san?
What? No more Endless Eight?? :(
