The latest announcements with respect to Haruhi are being interpreted by many as referring to a second season airing in April, not the generally inferred rerun of the first season.
Aya Hirano is quoted as saying “Reprising the role of Haruhi was a pleasure!”
Those prepared to believe anything now largely suspect a mixed broadcast of new and old episodes.
However, this is Kadokawa, so who knows what is going on…
The usual tedious Haruhi marketing continues despite the imminence of whatever is to constitute the broadcast, and ease with which confusion could now be cleared up. The summary:
In a lengthy feature, their careful campaign of confusion continues: above you can see their theme of “renewal” applied to an old promotional image, which has been redone (below).
The comments from several seiyuu, including Aya Hirano, manage to carefully avoid giving any useful information despite amounting to several paragraphs.
Aya Hirano says “Reprising the role of Haruhi was a pleasure!”, which many take as an indication of a new season, though many also think she may be referring to Haruhi-chan and Churuya-san
Some even speculate a mixed broadcast of the two is planned, following the original out of order sequence with an additional 12 episodes, though some wonder how Kyoto Animation could manage this whilst airing K-On in the same season.
We do learn that the show, whatever it is, is due to air in the early hours of April 3rd, so the truth cannot be long in coming.

well, no other choice but to see what's going to happen so..we'll see I guess
I do not buy it. Not one single bit. I've given up on Haruhiism, I'll take Minori~n over her any day.
I agree!...I'm not buying it.
What's that? "Black Lagoon season 3" this summer?Asuka in "Eva 2.0 movie"?...Sorry Kadokowa...You've burned your Haruhi bridge - there is sooo much more to look forward to in Anime than YOU.
Even if it does come out- I'll watch it for free and not comment until it gets an english dub!.
I like taiga more especially after last episodes she has been so deredere.
I believe in cake. They tried too hard with an ugly boat.
oh noes it's a troll!
who cares? where is my strike witches and spice and wolf.
This. Just give up on the garbage that is Haruhi anyway.
I'm kinda surprised you dislike the series, given that you've translated so many doujins from it. At least, if you're the CGrascal that does the translating.
don't care until i see it
Lets wait and see then.
that's a pretty loose indication to go on :s
Haruhi-chan sudden rocketing in quality gives us a slim glimmer of hope.
The scene where Kyon tells Itsuki he loves him...
A+ QUALITY I MUST SAY.
I'm gonna wait but I don't expect anything since it might be a late April fools joke....
Imagine if we got a 52 episode Haruhi saga, you all probably would die for that
i just hope we do... i mean, years of trolling and with the loyal fans remaining— they do deserve a 52 —no, make it more—episode run of the series.
By Toei Animation, and their high levels of QUALITY on long running shows.
This better as hell be a 104 episode season 2! All the way from where they ended to vol 10(if it appears by then that is)!
No...it would only underline the 'douche-baggery' of Kadokawa for stringing people along for so long...for no reason. "The Watchmen" toke less time and has greater quality- lol.
Huh?
"The Watchmen" - the parody short? Well played, sir, well played indeed.
Hey, Kadokawa: Pull the other one.
Yeah right. pfff
Everyone is being a tsundere right? I understand.
Who was Haruhi again..?
And were is my Horo? xD
Haruhi who?
Screw Haruhi. Give me my Little Busters! and/or Planetarian OVA.
You are right, where is my kudo?
THE CAKE IS A LIE
Haruwho?
I see what you did thar.
The fuck happened to the art?
Arthritis perhaps.
...I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually do believe that the 2nd seasons due.
Though given that I'm not a Haruhi fan, I guess I really don't have much of a stake in this either way.
KyoAni:
"Have I lied to you?
...I mean, in this room?
At the end of the expiriment, you will be baked
[and then there will be]
cake. "
Cake, cake, cake, cake! Delicious cake!
Kadokawa* you mean. Don't blame KyoAni, they just draw the shit.
Bleah. Lies.
I'm not gonna get trolled...
Nah, Maybe they lie it's april fool anyway. Maybe they just want to bost haruhi selling merchandise.
It's KADOKAWA anyway.
Wait n see.... I cheer if its real, and nothing of value would be lost if its fake.
Saw the title, read the article, never once, not for a single moment, did I actually even come close to believing this. We can expect Haruhi S2... in, idk, another two years from now? At least the last couple episodes of Haruhi-chan have been pretty good. =] I loved the "Heart in a wall".
I converted to hatsune-ism ages ago.
Screw 2dn season. Where is my 10th novel!!!
So true.
I've been asking the same question for a long time.
Probably going to be released alongside 2nd season for greater novel sales. Which is actually the only reason I care about season 2 at all, at this point.
A live-action movie would be great too I would realy appreciate a funny and mysterious show like the anime was.
I think a second season would be selling good for the company, I reckon the financial times are not the best even in Nippon.
But guys if anyone of you knows the japanese language i would recommend to look for a tv-guide in japanese, these have usualy a programm for a month in advance, so you can search something related with the anime and you can pinpoint the exact date of the airing and of course the truth behind this confusion.
You know what I mean?
No.
to look for ハルヒ(means haruhi I presume) on a site LIKE http://www.tvguide.or.jp/ so you can determine the correct title of the anime (to know if there is a "season 2").
I've tried to translate stuff with an online translator but it's not easy to find something useful in Japanese-Sites when you have no expirience with this language.
The title is given in the Newtype article - it is ambiguous...
yes thats true and I've just found a blog about this topic and the magazin in japanese. The guys on that blog say that's highly probable a re-broadcast of the first season so i give up and wait for news on this site
Nobody knows so it's just a matter of waiting, as Kadokawa doubtless wants...
