TV stations have now not only confirmed that the “new” season of Haruhi will start with a rerun, but also that it will amount to 28 episodes, finally confirming the “new episodes mixed in with or ont the end of the old episodes” theory.
Fans rejoice at the news, although they must by now be wary of unpleasant surprises…
As usual Haruhi-based news arrives in spurts: first, we heard that the title of the first episode aired would be the same as that from the original broadcast.
Now we hear that unofficial confirmation (it seems possible Kadokawa has ordered stations to hold back details) from TV stations, Saitama TV and Chiba TV, suggests the show will air in two “cours”, or seasons, and constitute 28 episodes, being treated as a “new” programme.
With the original coming in at 14 episodes, the only logical conclusion (not that logic has much place in Haruhi marketing) is that the additional 14 episodes will be the newly produced second season, and will either follow directly on from the broadcast, or be interspersed with the old episodes.
Via your friendly neighbourhood otaku.
This all seems an astonishing way of marketing your top franchise…

Nice? :D
No, disgusting.
bad narcissist. people have got what they hpoed for dont ruin it for them
You are disgusting.
Finally.
F*cking Kadokawa, so many f*cks up, but finally!!
Now let's hope for a Haruhi-chan S2 ;D
Or let's wait for them to revise themselves. Possible the thing from YouTube will get in TV, Master Trolls would make it happen...
lol, they do have exactly 28 with 14 from original series and 14 from haruhi-chan... I hope they produce more of haruhi-chan or drop haruhi and make it nagato <.<
yaaaaa! whoooo! :P~
HARUHI!!!
3/10
Trolls get points because they dare to outright lie to us.
I'll believe it when I see it.
You get a 0.5/10
Nice try.
and you sir, get a 0/10
9000/10
Just so i can say its over nine thousand :D
ITS OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAND!
you mean 90001/10, i think =]
thats way over 9000 lol
9000.000000000000000000000000000001/10
That's not too much OVER NINE THOUSAND is it?
wow some people don't know how to math ¬_¬ lol
It's 9000 out of 10, not 9000 divided by 10, everyone but Icy is right lol
Well.. It ain't over 9000 if it is exactly 9000 is it not?
Trol!!
still rejoice???
i would be laughing my ass off if its another joke from KyoAni... (or maybe the rest of the eps is Suzumiya Haruhi-chan)
It's Kadokawa that's trolling the fans, not KyoAni. Get your facts straight...
I want to believe.
hah theyll just say "it's a late aprils fools joke but, we were just kidding".
come on guys, the sign is all there: unofficial confirmation, held-back information, ambigious wording...
i remain skeptical.i shall treat any news regarding haruhi as a lie until i confirm it with my own eyes.
As a great admiral once said, "It's a trap"!
And he knows a trap when he sees one!
Hmm...Must see to believe in Haruhi.
Fawk Haruhi, where's my "K-ON!"? (lol, I know, tomorrow it is!)
BTW, April Fools? j/k
Yeah! K-on! >D
It is still april.. Maybe they got the tradition mixed up.
I'm voting for two reruns one after the other.
Also, great pic.
That would be amusing.
Not impossible. They could air it chronologically right after and claim they're revealing the TRUTH.
or, after they air the first season, they will put a picture of boat and say "sorry folks, it's just a joke"...
I'm with the nice boat theory. 14*25 minutes of boat footage set to classical music for the latter half of the run. The new "series" will be titled "涼宮ハルヒのいい舟 - The Fine Watercraft of Haruhi Suzumiya." DVD sales will still top the charts, if only because of retailers' "No cancellation of pre-orders" policies.
That would be The Ultimate Trolling
That won't be much of a surprise anymore...
I'm expecting that.
... it would take more dedication and energy than I currently have to bring my hopes up for this franchise.
so I wont.
might bring myself to watch the travesty though.
'might'.
love it!!!
just as i´ve hoped!!!
If true, Merry Christmas!
But I am expecting something like double rerun or Haruhi-chan. Ethier case would be fine by me. Everyone else, don't get your hopes up.
Double rerun - first airing order, then chronological order. Nothing to see here, folks.
Disturbingly plausible.
THIS.
THIS.
THIS.
You nailed it anon.
For cryin out loud. When will this madness stop?
Madness?
This is HARUHI!
Tonight we dine in closed space? O_o
ROFL
I wonder what will happen after is the second season is aired?
World end?
Probably a good idea for the world to end so that we won't have to wait 3 years for the 3rd season XD
for sure the world will come to an end. i said this after kadokawa trolled the shit out us that time, or was it that other time? the world will end after the second season is over, and ill be happy =P
