Another Haruhi second season announcement? After the original series The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya finished airing in July 2006, an announcement for the second season was made in Newtype Magazine’s August 2007 edition, and another set of images came from Newtype’s July 2008 edition. Will someone release the actual anime already??

Our prayers have been answered: APRIL

Rumors have stated that the actual “Haruhi second season” anime announced in 2006 was canceled and started anew as the production studio decided that instead of making a sequel, they were going to do a completely new Haruhi - methinks something along the lines of the three Minami-ke series?


I’m absolutely speechless… and not just because Hirano Aya talks so damn fast

 

The shift in approach makes conceptual sense as the new series is the fourth novel in the Suzumiya Haruhi series, 涼宮ハルヒの消失 (Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu / The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya), in which the world has completely changed:

In this novel, the story takes place from December 17 until December 24, a month after the cultural festival. On December 17, everything is normal—the SOS Brigade plans to have a nabe party for Christmas. However, on December 18, Kyon arrives at school to find everything has changed—Haruhi Suzumiya is missing, and Ryoko Asakura is a normal student. Kyon is the only one who notices anything different. Nagato is an ordinary human, and Mikuru does not recognize him. The only clue is a bookmark left by the alien version of Nagato, which leads Kyon on a quest back in time, where he interacts with the storyline from “Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody,” trying to sort out the mystery and return to his own time line.

Of course, given the previous delays, the KyoAni hype machine is not to be fully trusted, but this is a pretty freakin’ definitive announcement. An April air date is consistent with the new Spring 2009 season, typically when most big-name shows are launched; with CLANNAD ending at around that time, it’s high time for another highlight KyoAni title.

I’m not usually one to get overexcited at this kind of stuff, but OHMYGODHARUHIFINALLYAHHHHHH

Unfortunate UPDATE: J-CAST has confirmed with publisher Kadokawa that the announcement was their sick way of giving wannabe fans a new chance to watch it on TV. In short, RERUN. Like they can’t go borrow the DVDs from their friends. Yea, we (mainly I) got trolled pretty badly here, but dammit, what a bunch of dicks. Gonna go crawl back in my cave now.

lol She’s really cute.


The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya follows the high school life of Haruhi Suzumiya, a young and very active high school girl, and those who are caught up in her antics. While Haruhi is the central character to the plot, the story is told from the point of view of Kyon, one of Haruhi’s classmates.

Kyon is an ordinary first year high school student who has recently given up his fantasies of espers, time travelers, and aliens as he left middle school.[9] When he chooses to speak to Haruhi, he unwittingly sets off a chain of events which drag him into surreal situations; he is drawn further into a world eerily like the fantasies he had just managed to outgrow, with Haruhi at its center.

Searching for a group that interests her, Haruhi joins and quits every club in the school, finding only dissatisfaction.[10] Kyon makes a snide remark about her actions and accidentally provides Haruhi the inspiration to create a club of her own. To help start the club, Haruhi forcefully drafts Kyon, who only stays in the club to protect other helpless victims of Haruhi’s “voluntary arrests”. As the story progresses, Kyon finds that each of these supposedly “helpless victims” has a specific reason to be there.[11]

The first of these new members is Yuki Nagato, a silent bibliophile who usually wants to simply be left alone to read. Without Haruhi knowing, Yuki is in fact a “humanoid interface,” or an artificial human, created by the extraterrestrial Integrated Data Entity.[11] The next member is the shy and timid Mikuru Asahina, who is one year above Haruhi; she is actually a time traveler.[11] The final member of the SOS Brigade is Itsuki Koizumi, who is almost always smiling and more than willing to give in to Haruhi’s strange demands. He turns out to be one of many espers in an organization known as the Agency.[11]

Except for Kyon, the members of the club are secret agents of various organizations who are sent to observe Haruhi. They gradually explain that Haruhi has superhuman control over every aspect of the universe—an ability which she is unaware of. Whenever Haruhi becomes bored or otherwise dissatisfied with reality, she subconsciously creates a new universe—one more to her liking—and attempts to switch over, thus leading to the destruction of the current universe. In order to prevent this, the members of Haruhi’s club spend their time attempting to keep their god-like leader entertained, hold her powers in check, and maintain the illusion of a normal life.

The series never clarifies whether the club members gathered around Haruhi by their own free will, her subconscious, or were simply created out of thin air for Haruhi’s amusement. The question of their origin is a motif seen throughout the series.


What is this series about btw?


I say this calls for a haruhi fan party? ;P


Aya sounds like she’s on speed. hahaha


You HAVE to watch it. It’s so cute and funny. Totally worth it.


I haven’t even seen the first one. :X
