The long awaited second season of the Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi has begun, secreted in the midst of a rerun of the first season, and as revealed earlier is the new “Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody” episode.
What remains of Haruhi fandom has exploded, and 2ch entered into meltdown mode with hundreds of posts a minute.
You can see something of the episode below:
In a few hours, it will be known whether the latest episode of the Haruhi rerun will be a new episode or not. But it seems the prospect of waiting days for the episode to air in their own region, or having to wait hours to see it by other means, is just too much for Haruhi otaku.
We hear this from a 2ch denizen:
“I work in a Saitama business hotel. Since yesterday we have been having all kinds of calls asking whether the hotel has reception of Saitama TV [which carries one of the earliest airings of the episode]… I laughed.”
Against all reason Haruhi fans are still hoping for clarification on the matter of whether the rerun currently airing will actually contain new episodes, and with Kadokawa merrily stringing them along, they are left to glean what they can from third party reports.
The latest such report comes from the recent Wakayama TV listings, and seems quite credible as such.
The latest and increasingly unawaited novel in the Haruhi series, 涼宮ハルヒの / Suzumiya Haurhi no Kyougaku (The Shock of Suzumiya Haruhi), by 谷川流 / Nagaru Tanigawa, looks to have been delayed yet another year, the second time it has been delayed.
It now looks as if three years will elapse before any new release in the formerly popular series…
I am STILL gonna be a Suzumiya fan. :[ Even without a conclusion, it's still amazingly done.... More
Oh, the more recent delyas is down to negotiations over payment, I believe. The publication company is uming and ahing over the amount they should pay for the story. Personaly, I believe they should just pay... More
Just when fans thought they had secured some reliable evidence of the existence of the Haruhi second season, Kadokawa has moved to scotch them.
Now we hear that lynchpin broadcaster Saitama TV is issuing a categorical refusal to comment on the series, after only days ago having confirmed with other broadcasters that the series would have 28 episodes.
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…
TV listings have updated in preparation for the broadcast of the “new” season of the Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi, revealing the first episode to be none other than the very familiar “Asahina Mikuru no Bouken Episode00”, which of course has already aired and is number one in the “broadcast” order.
I live in hawaii ow on earth can I wac the secnd season? lik I mean what station?... More
Guess I'll have to watch the first season all over again since it's mashed in with the second one. How boring... We've waited so long and this is what we get? Bummer.... More
2ch circulates an interesting rumour of uncertain provenance: evil publisher Kadokawa may drop Gonzo as the producer of the upcoming second season of Strike Witches, supposedly as they have no need of them.
The reign of quality publisher Kadokawa continues with the news that both second episodes of Haruhi-chan and Churuya-san have been released quietly without drama or boatwatching; however, fans may be dismayed to note that the main feature is barely longer than its opening, having become even shorter.
Additionally, Kadokawa have seen fit to completely remove the first episodes (update: they seem to have restored them after a significant period of them being taken offline)…
Kadokawa’s grotesque marketing of its Haruhi-chan anime (to say nothing of the rerun of the original) seems to have resulted in such a negative backlash that their marketing department has launched itself into urgent damage control, replacing the “it wasn’t ready” nice boat announcement with a typically grovelling Japanese apology:
^ Nail. Head. The level of hysteria around here makes me think KyoAni could have spent months on this thing, release it on time, and still have it dumped on simply for not being season 2.... More
I can't blame anyone for being pissed off for being jerked around time and time again by Kadokawa - I'm more hesitant, if only slightly, to blame Kyoto animation, which probably had little say in... More
After their jolly little marketing jape to drum up a storm of conversation amongst the sad remnants of Haruhi’s fanbase, Kadokawa have graciously deigned to broadcast Haruhi-chan on YouTube after all.
Fans hoping to see the scheduled broadcast of Haruhi parody anime Haruhi-chan tuned in eagerly to their YouTube channel today, but were instead greeted with a 46 second “nice boat” video announcing that the video had not materialised, and nothing more.
