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.

Perhaps it will, perhaps it won't. Given their track record, I would not expect too much. It's out early April, just forget about it and watch better animu until then, and when it airs, still do not watch it. There will undoubtedly be a few hardcore retards who watch it, and will post all over the interwebs if it's a second season or not.
If you still believe anything Kadokawa and KyoAni say at this point, you should probably get a lobotomy.
They cant do it a 3rd time right? I mean, that blasphemy. But it is next to April Fools. Maybe they'll pull another Rick Roll and trick us into thinking where going to get trolled......
Ya know... Maybe they WANT you to think that it's a re-run... Only to pop up with the second season and go like APRIL FOOLS!!! HAHA!
Highly unprobable but I can dream can I?
I love Haruhi! Gimme moar! I'm still watching it lol
is it only me or did anyone notice that the new artstyle is way better than the original one...
i smell trolling!!! those bastards....
Kadokawa never directly said it was a rerun, I think there was a giant misunderstanding.
Enjoy ur second season
Not sure if anyone's commented on this yet, but the revamped version of the image has added text to Nagato's sign, instructing people to visit the SOS Brigade homepage for more information. I haven't been following these shenanigans too closely, so I'm not actually aware if said website exists, but perhaps that's something for rabid fans to go scrutinize?
Oh it does exist, I saw it some time last year
It's weird

I STILL BELIEVE IN YOU HARUHI-SAMA D:
Finally, 2012 is going to be a good year.
lol. all of you saying its an april fools joke, a lie, etc. we all kno the second the new season shows up, you'll start worshiping it and saying you never gave up hope and you knew it was coming all along.
well in any case, we'll find out april 3
I think we should just wait to see what airs instead of trying to analyze it every time it shows up in a magazine. It'll only lead to heartbreak if we keep doing this.
God I wish I hadn't read this post, as much as I don't want to get my hopes up they've already sky rocketed >_>
I honestly don't care anymore. When it airs, it airs, and I will watch it.
Lets not get carried away now....
arggh .. just gimme my fumoffu and my little nrorthern wolf please!!!!!
i do not believe in promise. . just give me the show. . .
Wait, what are you guys complaining about? All I see are pictures of bunnygirls...
I think it is just another gimmick. I will believe it when I see it.
I'd like to draw everyone's attention here: http://chaos-th.com/?p=279
Some similar news found in the Hong Kong anime mangazine, Ani-wave, which is apparently reliable for such information.
@anorgasmicloli is Joshi Chugakusei and SHIMAPANはきます!
Oh man I can't help but get excited for this...
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
-Here is my theory:
The wicked minds of Kadokawa forced Aya Hirano to redo their rol of Haruhi together with the other seiyuus for the old series.
It is the original series of Haruhi but with a new seiyuu work.
have a good day :3 .
OMG! What happen to the artwork? Can't they create another artwork out to promote it at least.
Well after so many fakes I dont know what to express anymore. . .
I like this series, I dont wanna see it fall though. . .
Lets just hope for the best, and hopefully it will come out this years\.
...
Yeah, and April 1st is the day.
No... just wishful thinking I'm afraid >.<
I'm taking a wait-and-see approach.
Waiting for this while seeing to completing my gaming backlog, that is.
*goes back to playing EarthBound*
"though some wonder how Kyoto Animation could manage this whilst airing K-On in the same season."
I thought they're doing Clannad and Munto at the same time right now? Or am I mistaken?
Correct - Clannad was a 2-cour season continuing into this Winter season, in which Munto began its run, so both are airing currently.
It helped that two of the Munto episodes were animated already, but I guess they are experimenting with producing 2 anime at the same time perhaps.
My hypothesis is that the worse you treat your fans, the more hardcore they become.
At this point, I think Haruhi fans would still think a 2nd season was coming if Kadokawa raped them and then defiled their mother's graves, and then the apocalypse came.
If they get it out, good for them. If not, not surprising.
Haruhi who?
Who was Haruhi again..?
And were is my Horo? xD
Everyone is being a tsundere right? I understand.
Screw Haruhi. Give me my Little Busters! and/or Planetarian OVA.
You are right, where is my kudo?
THE CAKE IS A LIE
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. "
Kadokawa* you mean. Don't blame KyoAni, they just draw the shit.
Cake, cake, cake, cake! Delicious cake!
...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.
The fuck happened to the art?
Arthritis perhaps.
Haruwho?
I see what you did thar.
Yeah right. pfff
Imagine if we got a 52 episode Haruhi saga, you all probably would die for that
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.
"The Watchmen" - the parody short? Well played, sir, well played indeed.
Hey, Kadokawa: Pull the other one.
Huh?
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.
