What about S2 ?

[Kagami]

dont know if its the PR department, or more likely the honcho's who control the purse strings. either way, we have had months worth of speculation, and now things have once again, like before, gone quiet.

[Yuuki]

meh.. ¬_¬ im gonna try and stay optanistic about the situation, but im still pretty sure there getting on it ^^'

[Shamisen]

"Haruhi series in April."

... I can't decide if KyoAni's PR department is just incompetent or the most dedicated group of trolls this side of Hideaki Anno. I come back after nearly a year away from all things anime to find this, and I am not amused.

Greetings Stranger You WERE missed...
BTW.. Staff meetings just aren't as exciting when you're not around

Back to Topic.. Me wonders if this a new common thread .. If any body has been paying any attention, the last disc of Lucky Star, has been delayed another THREE months too..

*Conspiracy theory at work*

[Taiga]

Ack... that's pretty crappy! i can't think why that would be done. o-o

Could you not get into all this? Sell them via this site and lafiel. You get to watch them early and we get our own personal DVD vendor! :p

[Kagami]

*sigh*
well clannad dvd's are worse...no such thing as a box set, and the volumes cost biblical amounts. why? why????
was thinking of goin luckystar instead...but no.

[Taiga]

Poor people.

Don't have to worry about these things when you don't even have enough for a cheap DVD :3

Haruhi s2 delay 1 more year *sign

People! We have... something. Maybe.

What seems odd to me... is why would the first s2 episode aired by Bamboo Leaf rhapsody based? That's just strange... even for messing up the order.

[Kei]

I wouldn't get my hopes up.

I'm from Missouri known as "The SHOW ME State." It's time from them to relieve themselves or quit squatting cause the line is getting pretty long!

[Kagami]

well, we'll know soon I guess. I am not getting any hopes up, because personally if I was head of PR at kadokawa, and there indeed was a season two, i would be revving the haruhi fanbase machine till the valves got out and danced hare hare yukai on the metaphorical bonnet.

if you do not advertise for a tv show or for any product for that matter, how can you expect people to sit up and watch it? Since these are all aired on commercial channels, a non-advertised show represents a bad investment because no one will see the 'info-mercials' that make the money.

EDIT: No longer it seems does the channel list any info about what episode is airing...except that its suzumiya haruhi no yuutsu (憂鬱（ゆううつ） ). did i get that right? Found a good website for simplifying kanji.

Via ANN

and Wakayama TV at 25:10...

[Taiga]

That is one hell of a metaphor, Shami.

[Kei]

Indeed... interesting but accurate.

[Shamisen]

Indeed... interesting but accurate.

I've grown tired of the hype... Either give us a second season... Or Go Away..

Those in power are not using it wisely as far as I'm concerned... Two years of this is far in excess of what most normal people would tolerate. There is another anime series that I'm very fond of and it has seen similar nonsense in it's life too.

I stand by my statement above and note; the line is getting longer...

Looks like many ARE holding their breath. Lets hope they don't die waiting.

Otherwise we wouldn't get out angry mob.

[Kagami]

*sigh* 10pm here...only a few more hours. Tokyo is one hour behind melbourne, but I am not waiting up to find out. Then again, keep an eye out, I may drop in sometime over the next few hours...

hang on...aint it airing on the 24th?

[Taiga]

Different prfectures have different airing times. 1am on the 25th was the airing date for one particular channel: The one that gave the title for it.

Or so I've come to understand.

I would, however, suggest that this episode will be aired at 1am also.

However, Sankaku Complex has times at Japanese Standard Time and the artical was posted at 18:24... so it'd hardly be 'a few hours.'

[Taiga]

WE HAVE NEW HARUHI!

For those who are quick enough: >>2chan<<

For those who aren't:


(Click for full size)

That would be a scene from the 4th Novel. Which isn't in the original anime:

Spoiler:

It's where elder Mikuru sends Kyon(John smith) back in time to help haruhi write on the middle school grounds. It's the only time both Mikuru's are in one space/room.

EDIT:

I actually started typing this post before artifact got to posting on the Complex. But here's more info than I could find just on 2ch:

So this is DEFINITELY a new episode.
