The February edition of Newtype promises “big news about the Suzumiya Haruhi TV anime” in the March edition. All speculation focuses on this being regarding the hugely anticipated and much belated second series.
Fans have immediately split into two raging camps, those who regard this as provocation designed to stimulate interest about some lesser event, or perhaps a pathetic tidbit along the lines of Haruhi’s new hairstyle, and those who think this to be the One True Announcement heralding the airdates for the new series.
Given the incredible vapidity of most Haruhi marketing and the unfavourable ratio of gimmicks and publicity stunts to actual news of import, the more sceptical observers do have a point. However, it seems to be “about time” for the anime (that is to say, people are going to start forgetting about it and not caring soon, even the author has stopped churning out books).
Still, it seems they couldn’t get away with, for example, announcing a repeat or some such as being “big news”, could they? Not without bringing a torch wielding mob down upon themselves…
More sly and irrelevant material designed to incite fan speculation and anticpation, or actual news regarding the almost mythical new season?

Episode 1 premier - March 5, 2013
fuck thaaaaaaaaaat
meeh so episode 1 comes out after the end of the world? lol
no, actually haruhi-ism will save the world
the last day will wait until the season is finished..
or because it not aired for a long time, haruhi will rage and destroy the world (approx at 2012)
olololo
Fool, the end of the world was "three years ago."
I laughed........
ROFL
Another Aya Hirano handshake event?
BIG NEWS - wait another year!
i have a feeling that this is gonna be such a troll.
Actually I wouldn't be surprised if they left us hanging like that again, the did it before and the seemingly endless flow of haruhi figurines doesn't look like it'll end either.
SPOILERS!
KyoAni loves to tease and disappointing us >.>
Hmm...that article needs a lie detector test.
Got to say i really like the first picture. And i really hope it is the new series this time as i am starting to run out of good anime to watch!
They have been jerking us around for quite a while now, I doubt if this is actually the real deal.
Probably just more viral marketing, though I'll watch for it anyway, just to see if it's actually happening this time.
Haruhi = long hair. Nuff said, no matter what Kyon thinks and what Haruhi wants to do to him
... The long hair is part of an arc, Haruhi's hair is going to be short for the time being as the novels say.
Oh no worries, Kyon WILL see her in a ponytail in this new long hair... sorry if this is a spoiler for some :P
I love the long-hair haruhi :D
Every Otaku must follow Haruhi, weather its a troll or not we gotta wait and see ^___^
Big news: the second season of Suzumiya Haruhi has been canceled due original novels author bitching over his money!
Big news!!!: The new series is canceled.
O_O
Have a nice day
I really hope this is the real deal
but
by the looks of it , i dont think so :(
nice hair though
well
guess we'll have to wait and see what happens
Burn me once, shame on you. Burn me twice, shame on me. Seriously we have been trolled for so long by Kyo-Ani that I doubt they are just going to release the air date info. The info in next month's is probably going to announce the date for the annnouncement of the air date. The author and KyoAni have pretty much thrown away the franchise. The author by not releasing any books when the franchise is at its peak or even announcing a release date for a book that was postponed over a year ago. KyoAni by having fun jerking us around with viral campaigns with no payoffs. So unless I see solid info, screw them both.
oh, su FUCKING AGREE.
Stupid MF author
Why is everyone so anxious to see Haruhi 2? Haruhi is shit.
Let who want to talk about it, talk about it.
I don't have big hopes about that news, maybe will be an anticipated april's joke
Would be awesome, an april fools joke that's 4 months too early.
Who drew those pictures? Looks almost like Yoshitoshi ABe's style.
Haruhi is and has been passé for a long time now.
And it was severely overrated to begin with...
Could not agree more with you.
Overrated yet still at least, a very good title.
All of the most famed titles, whether in cinema, books, or in any form of the arts are invariably overrated, regardless of how much worth the original production actually had.
It should be fairly obvious upon some reflection that Shakespeare's plays were not in fact the greatest words ever put into text, that not every note Beethoven ever made was a gift from the Muses to humanity, Casablanca wasn't really, truly as fantastic as you always hear - despite that, all those works of art legitimately have a great amount of worth to them.
It's nothing especially upsetting for something to be overrated, that simply seems to be an inescapable symptom of achieving great fame and popularity.
True dat. True dat.
Score: +4, Insightful
I watched it when it first started airing and before it blew up, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I wouldn't say it's God Tier but it's a lot better than Clannaids (excluding episode 17) and the Kanon remake. Don't like the After Story at all. Why Nagisa, why?!? The ending of the first season of Clannaids made me want go *facepalm*
I'm looking forward to it though. Though I'd rather see another season of Lucky Star, FMP, Aria, or Hayate.
I hate most of the Key anime adaptions tbh. Way too much "trying to be moe, becomes stupid instead". You can pretty much pick any character from Lucky Star and that character would be alot more moe than any Key character.
Kanon 2006 was pretty good even though it was too melodramatic, I can admit that. But Clannad was so seriously boring and tried to be way too cute and ended up as ridicilous instead. When I want real cuteness, I watch Shugo Chara.
Don't make me start with Air, I could barely finish it...
It would all be fine though...IF NOT EVERY SINGLE DAMN ANIMENEWB WHO THINKS THAT THEY ARE AN OTAKU BUT THEY ARE ACTUALLY A RANDOM MR. JOE KEEPS EXAGGERATING ABOUT THE DAMN KEY CRAP.
Every time I see someone who goes "oooooh, Key =DDD fukken good animy dont you think guys yeee we real otaku who knows this stuff =DD didnt you cry when you watched Air sooooo sad it was aaaaaw the beach scene mymymymy =(((((" I need to relax with some Chopin or Vivaldi or else I would go out on the street and kill stuff.
With the kannagi stuff I'm more than relieved for not being an otaku.
Even so, Air is very good in animation, story (even if I had to say is a little bizarre), sound, voice actors...
Key should start animating Little Busters without fail, if that happens, I can forgive them. It was 3rd place in the eroge list, and I finished it as well, and I think this couldn't be a bad anime if they keep it okay I guess...
Good god no, ARIA, not AIR.
Ino: The Air part was not me mistaking you writing Aria for Air. It was just an example of disgusting Key anime.
@Narcissist - You're being a little bit overly critical, are you not? I mean, if you have this big a problem with it, why not tell Kyoto Animation or Key/Visual Arts themselves instead of us here on an anime/game website?
I mean, since obviously your opinion is so much more important than the rest of ours, you must certainly have a lot of pushing power.
While I'm not going to argue that Shugo Chara is cute as fuck, in my honest opinion, and keep in mind I say it's my opinion, there are more moments in Clannad that made me flinch due to moegasm than there has been in any other anime in it's genre.
Example, I hate Fuuko, she's an annoying little retard, but the scene where Tomoya switches with Ryou and Fuuko thinks Tomoya became a woman is hilarious.
And Kotomi...well...I think I needn't have to say much beyond that anything Mamiko Noto touches becomes instantly win.
I mean, of course, there is always the chance that you're just one-sided and biased, or you have some sort of bitter grudge against the Haruhi franchise (maybe you knew Aya Hirano in middle school and she turned you down for a date because you had acne, or smelled like spoiled milk?)
But surely you're intelligent enough to know that it's possible to voice your opinion while still respecting the likes and dislikes of others, right?
Hahaha, that must surely be it, right?
I'll respect your opinion on Key's work and their Kyoto Animation produced forms, but know that there's always the chance that maybe you aren't the perfect authority figure to speak on every subject.
I couldn't agree more, or say it better, kageryu. Nice :)
What's wrong with Air anyway?
I always see a number of people hating on it but they never say why. I understand that people do exaggerate but I see no reason to hate an anime due to exaggerations that may be just what a person feels is a good way to express his/her thoughts at the time. Can someone explain to me in short, why the hate?
Because a place of comments if a place to comment, and therefore I comment.
I do indeed have a lot of pushing power, in the matter of pushing lesser peoples opinions down the drain.
And no, I have nothing against KyoAni. As a matter of fact I like some of their works a lot. Key I do not care much for, but I did enjoy their eroge alot more than the anime.
Regarding Aya Hirano, I am actually quite fond of her. While I am not a lesbian, if it is Aya we are talking about I would not mind some lesbian sex once in a while.
And I am quite hot too, so the scenario you pointed out would be rather impossible.
And again, no. I am not fond of other peoples opinions, then I would not be a narcissist would I? I do not believe thas respecting other peoples opinion has something to do with intelligence, but rather worthless ethics and morals that I could not care less for.
Rather, in my world, us who are blessed with higher intelligence, IQ and status than the common crowd have the right, or at least the power, to belittle the commoners opinions if we are inclined to do so.
One should of course not go overboard with it, but I believe that I just voiced that which is quite true. The examples I gave about the random Mr. Joe's are a sad fact and while you might accept that because your conscience or morals tells you that you should, unscrupulous persons like I do not.
Authority figure? I AM THE LAW! (Lol I always wanted to say that :D)
And also, regarding what is wrong with Air, I would like to give a lesser review but I have to leave in half an hour and I will barely have time to do my hair in that time. Timestealing internetz!
I have three fast words for what is wrong with it: The animations, the story and the melodrama. Not to mention the characters, the disgusting beach scene or all the randoms who make threads at forums telling us that they cried from it.
Aaaaaah, time time time...
One of the marvelous things about much of the Internet is that, excepting a few famous figures (Danny Choo, etc.), there are no "lesser" or "greater" people but only usernames and avatars.
Nicely said Quen but you know, a narcissist is a narcissist. They are a higher being than we are and therefore everything that we say is moot to them.
Okay correct if I'm wrong but isn't Key the one that makes the eroges? Last I check Kyoani was the one making anime.
To sum up your whole entire post in a nutshell, I feel as though you try to seem superior from an inferior position. Think a little kid trying to beat up an adult. Or maybe more like a republican? First off what we are all secretly narcissists ourselves? Then using your logic your opinion does not matter amiright? I respect your opinion on this matter but learn to know that there will always be someone greater than you are. And if you are as great as you are why don't you gloat and tell us your accomplishments in life. You surely must have achieved billionaire status by now and are of the most elite of your society, nay, the world.
Unrelated but as Kageryu said, if you have a problem with Key/Visual Arts and you have such an incredible influence on this world, why don't you go change how they do things, hmm?
And last of all you didn't really answer my question, just kind of repeated what you said a few posts back.
