I stumbled into Anime by watching one of those Japanese mash-up videos. I did some research a found Air and Lucky Star. I don’t want to sound like a freak, but the day I found Suzumiya Haruhi was one of the best days of my life. Then I found out about the novels, and have been reading them ever since.

I really do want more, and I honestly don’t care whats going on or what they are telling us, as long as there is progress.

If they were not doing anything, I would despair, but as long as there is even a tiny something, there is hope.

Well, being confused and such, it doesn’t matter to me if this’ll be named “Second season” or a whole new title.

But what does matter to me, is that they continue the Haruhi anime series.
After watching “The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya” and reading some of the light novels only a few days ago, I’m mega obsessed.

It’d be a shame if there wasn’t another “season” or continuation.
But, seeing Haruhi in that picture in the other High-school uniform? There is a very very high chance it’s going to happen.

Not to mention I want to see some Yuki x Kyon action going on.
(With her smiling at him and all.)

Maybe it’s because of the whole not chronological order thing the first season had. Maybe they’re just going to do them in order this time becuase they can’t exactly carry the gimmick over to the next season nor can they start the second season next to the first one without it because then it will be too confusing. That seems the most logical reason that ISN’T profit although that probably is a factor :P.

>Blackadder: “Dudes, please… why would they want to remake something, that was already good and still young ?”

Because it seems to be an unwritten rule now:

1: You “have the monkey.”
2: It transforms into a problematic but entertaining gorilla.
3: Create S&M Parlors based on gorilla.
4: [Censored] PROFIT [Censored]!!

WHAT THE FLYING FUCK…..

That is one HELL of a rumour to generate. And heck, Zepy himself referenced it here:

But the best part about Haruhi is the character designs.

A lot of you guys seem completely confused, and the original article is actually slightly off as well. So I’m here to clarify!

The only thing that is holding up the “second season” is the fact that there have been alterations to the character designs by head illustrator Noizi Ito. This is also the reason the 10th book was held up as well.

In order to conform to the illustrations of the 10th book, KyoAni decided to incorporate the altered character designs into the anime and kind of start from scratch. There have been no conceptual meetings about where to take the story as th original article suggests. Instead, what is meant by “new animation” is simply that KyoAni has decided to essentially remake the first season with the new character designs - this will be called “The Prologue of Haruhi Suzumiya”. This new animation of the first season will also include footage that was never shown in the original animation. The “second season” will then follow the “prologue of haruhi suzumiya”. This “second season” will be based entirely on the fourth book, the “disappearance of haruhi suzumiya”.

There will be no deviations from the book at all. My guess is that they’re making this a 24-26 episode “season”. First, the “remake” (new animation) of the first season will air, then the second season will follow.

The article in the July 2008 Newtype states that fans can look forward to a “Early 2009″ release, and that all of Noizi Ito’s new character designs will be revealed in the December 2008 issue of Japan’s Newtype.

To clarify, ONLY THE CHARACTER DESIGNS WILL CHANGE! The original stories of the novels - both “melancholy” and “disappearance” - will stay exactly the same.

That is the most accurate translation of the original article that I can give you.
