Newtype’s announcement that “something is going to happen” with regard to otaku exploitation anime Haruhi has been finally made public, taking the form of no less than four shocking announcements.
The announcements run along these lines:
1. The seiyuu for Haruhi, Nagato and Mikuru are recording some exclusive interview for distribution only to Newtype’s loyal rubes!
2. Endless Eight will be shown again on Newtype’s site for a whole day at the end of August! Relive the joy!
3. Fans will finally get to test their knowledge of Endless Eight in the “Endless Eight Cult Quiz”! How many questions will you be able to answer?
4. New information on Haruhi goods for you to obediently buy up is forthcoming!
Incidentally, they chose today to take their server down for (scheduled) maintenance; you can see the announcement in situ below:

Has nothing to do with the actual Issue coming out as far as i can see?
just lovely XD, i can`t belive it, the directors must be part of an anty-otaku organization XD
Newtype is trollin' again lol
brb getting my sniper and a ticket to japan
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyhadddd enuf.... FUCK THIS!
assholleeeesssssss.
Maybe we should send Agnes Chan after Kodakawa.. that'll freak them out..
KyoAni has become a real sadist
Those who abandoned the franchise after this endless eight fiasco, was never true fan of the series.
However, I still believe there still some big fanbase for this series despite their theatrical act of endless eight.
This act could probably be a publicity stunt for otaku and fans of the series to remember for years to come.
This is SO dammed hilarious! I can't come up with a better thought about it, but I love these guys, just for their sheer guts.
Good thing I'm not that into Haruhi anymore, or I'd sure flip out or something ¦3
As for the fanboys (not part of this cult of theirs) out there, too bad.
Fuck the announcement, oshiri no sashimono pwnz.
I've never watched Haruhi, but I've heard alot about Endless Eight.
What IS it, exactly?
The most genius ploy in marketing history. If you think you knew how to make a buck before, rethink everything....
And it's also a stupid title that someone thought was catchy and clever. It's either endless or it's a definite eight, my old math book just got a beef with Haruhi fans....
Yes, but what IS it? Are they episodes? What're the episodes entailing?
Lurk moar! It is never enough.
Thanks for the answer.
Ahh, I see!
Thanks, that sounds fucked up.
Time had got stuck in a loop, so they remade the same episode 8 times, but slightly different each time through. Also the 8 of Endless 8 is a visual pun on the symbol for infinity.
Hey you guys half willing to sacrifice yourself should pool your money together for an assassin or letter bomb or whatever.
Break a few legs or destroy a few sinuses or give tinnitus to Kadokawa and Kyoani.
Well, this is obviously some kind of joke. It's not even vaguely funny of course, but I've often found some aspects of Japanese humour to be quite impenetrable to the western mind. Because no-one gives a flying fuck about Endless Eight except to vilify it and only the most retarded troll in existance could fail to realize that by now.
You know, they seem to truly think acting Haruhi-like on the fanbase is really funny. They should take a hint from their own Konata Izumi ('That kind of thing is charming in fiction, but just annoying in real life...').
If they were producing Zero no Tsukaima instead, would they whack the fans with a lash and call them dogs?
Yes. Yes they would.
"Relive the joy!" <--- LMFAO
Hilarious...
Seriously though... will someone sacrifice themselves?
I want to see detached Kadokawa and KyoAni limbs.
Send Beatrice after them.
wahahahhahah
ha ha ha ha in your faces harufags!
This Endless Troll is caused by the Endless Witch Beatrice.
Haruhi is the real Beatrice. No. Kadokawa and Kyoani combined are Beatrice!
...
assholes
Their...kidding right? ....right?
*thumbs up* picture itadakimasu!
They're trying to play it off as a joke, but I'm not amused.
ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?
Shocking indeed. I am shocked over some people's sheer genius.
As much as I want new Haruhi (and nothing to do with Endless Eight), I can't lie. This is actually quite entertaining. The show has already went down in history for it's story and characters, but all the stunts they're pulling is going to make it something no otaku will ever forget.
Yeah, I will use it as torture for my children one day when they too become the Otaku of the future. If they talk back to me, I will make them watch all 8 episode in a row before they can do anything else. The first episode will be something they enjoy until they figure out that I am pulling a KyoAni.
kadokawa just likes to fuck with what's left of their fanbase, that's all.
There's actually some left?
"4. New information on Haruhi goods for you to obediently buy up is forthcoming!".
They know some have sticked around.
Almost had me until I realized this has nothing to do with Newtype 10'2009 issue and is related to Newtype Anime web channel.
Incomplete truth is the best troll, good job.
Oh, and apparently what will be shown on Newtype Anime Channel is a RECAP of Endless Eight.
Well, that's awesome, seriously.
Good that it's not any of actual episodes. :D
Devotion has reduced you to idiocy I see:
【情報02】
「エンドレスエイト」特別上映会開催。
特別上映会は27時間限定で開催。
気になる内容は、もちろん“エンドレスエイト”関連。
Nothing about a recap so far. "Special screening."
Translate it. Specially the "of course it's Endless Eight" crap.
Oh. Yeah, right, my bad, misread a couple of kanji.
My first post stand, though.
They can NOT be serious!
Wow those clever trolls.
So basically they want otaku to REWATCH that horrid arc for an on-site trivia quiz? Is there any prize in that for answering? Or are they just twirling villain mustaches?
Maybe if we win the quiz we get new episode?......
A man can dream can't he?
No, if you can answer all the questions correctly, they send you via mail, a bottle full of cyanide or a bottle full of painkiller.
You are both wrong, instead, you get another version of Endless Eight that plays exactly 15,532 times and keeps you from closing the browser or turning your computer off. Loss of power doesn't stop it since it is what Haruhi truly wants.
Seriously... do they ever listen to the fans? They are digging themselves a deep deep grave... -_-
No doubt, Kadokawa, KyoAni and WWE made an alliance..
Can we just bomb the Kyoani HQ now?
Why should we?
"Why shouldn't we?"
*fixed
wow, truly exciting news.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
OH MAN, THIS IS GOING RIGHT TO HARUHI'S ENCYCLOPEDIA DRAMATICA ARTICLE!
And maybe Robot Chicken will do a Haruhism scene like they did an Inuyasha and some Pokemon stuff...
Maybe it'll even make it to South Park.
South Park? You better stop dreaming there kid.
Its not important enough
What a bunch of fucktards.
OH BOY ENDLESS EIGHT
that is some bull
total troll!!!
Koyoani=MASTER TROLLS
kyoani=master geniuses if Japanese otaku buy the endless 8 dvds
Now this is getting really ridiculous. They can't just be trolling since KyoAni is a business, not 4chan. Assuming those translations can be trusted, they are blatantly contradicting the fanbase. What are they trying to accomplish anyway? Do they think this is somehow going to get the show long term publicity like Evangelion? Also does anyone know of anything like this ever happening before?
I´m having an deja vu.....
Rather: Kadokawa = MASTER TROLLS
Seriously, people are ignorant and forgetting that Kadokawa are the trolls, and Kyoto Animation have no choice but to listen to their requests. I mean, have you lot forgotten how badly Kadokawa trolled us all with their lousy announcements? during the last 1,5 years?
First first post post
Kadokawa on their own are not the problem, it's the two brought together that brings on the trolling.
I blame... KADOANI!
so who's koyoani again?
fail
That lame magazine will experience a torrential downpour of Trojans, Malware, DOS attacks, Painware, whatever-ware infections once they finally open up that site again.
Plus the Swarm of outrage and hatred of the monolithic 2ch otaku rage wave that will descend upon them!
Can Not wait for the MAD videos to be made on this stupidity done by that foolish kadoKoward magazine. To think that I collected this magazine for over a Decade!
WTF...
Anyway, kadoKoward has been swimming in shit for over two months now with the BS '~Haruhi' disgrace. So this isn't that much of an surprise to me.
Fucking stupid.
it’s a endless trolling contest of endless proportions.
it's a trolling contest of fail proportions.
TIME PARADOX
kodokawa sucks
behind kyoani is kadokawa and behind that is the koyoani, the master trolls as ldc stated.
you are all trolls for being idiots.
stop arguing faggots
NO it's: Koyoani=MASTER TROLLS and Kadokawa = RING LEADERS get it right next time.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
As if I hadn't enough of endless eight with just two months of broadcasting the very same episode, thank you Newtype!!!
never have I felt so much fail before.
Enjoy your slow troture of Endless Eight!
Ouch
No, this is Patrick!
imagine watching endless eight 100 times
Your math fails, robocop, that would like, Endless 800.
Unlimited Troll Works
endless 100?
no, this is endless troll!
THIS IS SPAAAAARTAAAAAAAAAA~!! XD
Seems like endless eight wasn't endless enough...
The eight was over the endless is not. Now the only thing left is the first word to haunt to my dear loyal ones, and it's endless... endless.. *repeat endless times*
This is a joke right?
That's what I'm thinking. I didn't see a link to anywhere out of site, so Artefact is probably playing with us. I nearly destroyed my computer when I read that stuff until I thought about it.
I just updated the article with the screenshots taken of the update. You can get back to destroying your computer now.
Well said indeed. Being an (ex) self-proclaimed Haruhist, I have now reformed after seeing the error of my ways.
Or rather at the exact moment Endless Eight rolled around. -_____-
Nagi is my only goddess now. (And maybe Yurie, from Kamichu! as well.)
Now I just sit back and laugh at Kadowaka antics and smirk at the remaining Haruhi fans. If nothing else, season 2 will definitely be remembered.
Hoho~ The two Anon above Overt... you guys really cannot see the beauty there is behind endless eight.
Also, how can you say that Haruhists are not the true fans? Well some might be as they went on total rage, though there are some that truly appreciate it, even endless eight.
You guys are just fans, so lay low with your comments, you have no right to troll.
Naive Anons.
I liked the normal episode and endless eight but, I wanted more. This season was more like a short OVA series to me.
Well said, Anon. My thoughts exactly.
Season 1 is a precious memory.
Season two... is a precious object of hate.
You made some good points earlier, but I hardly think a hyperenergetic fanbase is reason for failure. It has its pros as well as downfalls.
@NG
How can a Haruhist, being part of the thing that destroyed Haruhi of any of it's decent essence, be a true fan to the series? Who was trolling, I was just saying, anything overhyped by the fans, mostly becomes an intent of hate or rage by the rest of the populous, but when it comes down to it, Haruhists are not the only cause but a major one of Haruhi's downfall no matter how you look at it.
None whatsoever. Especially for Haruhi fans.
Why? You could have just left me without seeing the surprise, but you ruined my hopes.
Wow... have you no mercy?
Triple Kill!
Monster Kill!
GODLIKE!!
I have officially given up on hope for there being a true new Haruhi season.
I regret that statement Arty, I mean any true fans aren't Haruhists, I just enjoyed Haruhi season 1. I thought it had a good story, and worked well but the overhype (Haruhists) killed the series. Season 1 will stay in my heart where it belongs and endless eight will stay in the bin where it belongs, well done Kadokawa, you trolled beautifully.
Maybe you should pay attention to what you're fed at sankaku before making such a breaking decision, lol.
