A Haruhi Sequel, But Not Really(?)
Posted by: Shin in Clannad, The Melancholy Of Suzumiya Haruhi, tags: News, Rants
Even Lelouch doesn’t know what to make of it.
If that post title doesn’t make much sense, then well, it’s because I didn’t really get what these articles regarding the sequel of Haruhi that was in the works being cancelled and replaced with a new season, really meant. SEITENKAN CONFIRMED! You know what, as long the show stays true to the source material, I’m fine with it. I just hope this doesn’t turn out to be Haruhi: Okawari or something. 
Long hair Haruhi; not sure if want, since I’m much too used to her old hairstyle. Then again, I’m not a sucker for long haired girls, which probably explains the lack of interest. Other than the central character herself, the rest of the cast doesn’t seem to have undergone much change, with Mikuru being as moe as ever, and Itsuki still oh-so fabulous. 
Speaking of misleading titles, I saw something peculiar at ANN:
Being the perv that I was, I went HOLY FUCKING SHIT ARE THEY ANIMATING TOMOYO AFTER??!!!
But then after reading the entire news piece, I went like:
Because it wasn’t what I thought it was, as it was just the DVD only episode. Twice. That’s how many times I got mislead in one night. Damn you, Kyoto Animation.

lol.
At least we know that Haruhi is coming.
And not to forget, Clannad ~After Story~ is on it’s way too..
But no details (airing date) about those shows yet..
They love to tease us, do they..

You know, I got so annoyed after being tricked I had to edit this post like 6 times before I got it right.

kyoani. stay far far away from em!
June 7th, 2008 at 1:16 am
Yea, you thought that it was DVD only so that you’ll see Tomoya and Tomoyo get really freaky, eh Shin? If only it was Kyou though…
Ryou and (weighted companion) Kotomi are welcome too…
June 7th, 2008 at 1:45 am
lol mindfuck.
I really hope they know what they’re doing.

[…] to these sources, who found scans of an un-released New Type magazine, say that Season 2 of Suzumiya Haruhi […]
June 7th, 2008 at 3:13 am
Tomoyo had one of the better routes in the game, so I’m excited about that DVD extra!
@ Ex-Kein: I agree! Tomoyo may be great, but Kyou’s awesome! We need a Kyou After!!

Hey lookie, I got two Lucky Star characters as avatars! ^_^

So I guess we don’t have to wait long for Clannad second season. I like Haruhi with long hair though, and if I reveal the reason behind her long hair, I’d have committed a horrible sin in the form of a ginormous spoiler. So there! Readers of the Haruhi light novel series ought to know the reason, tool. No doubt we’ll be witnessing a new season of mega-class Haruhi hurricanes sweeping across the otaku globe.

Wait, I’m confused. There are Haruhi fans who haven’t read the light novels?
June 7th, 2008 at 6:14 am
Kaisos, I don’t know why that’s a confusing concept. Some folks are content to watch DVDs and don’t go in for that whole looking on the internet for (sometimes) painfully-written fan translations. Licensed english versions won’t happen for another year (hot damn, why are manga and light novels slower than anime?).
That said, I did wreck my eyes reading them on a computer in a dark room, and the hair and uniform make sense.

I dig chicks with short hair too

@otou-san:
The kind of fans who pay this much attention to Newtype announcements are generally the kind of fans who read the source material.
Just pointing that out.
Also, I was semi-joking.

Need a figure of Haruhi with long hair.

I’ve been hearing about the new Haruhi season for almost a year and a half and haven’t seen anything that completely confirms it. Personally I don’t care that much if they make a new season, certainly I’ll watch it if they release it but that’s not one of my priorities.

@karecat
But they brought Kagamin to life!
@EX-Keine
You read my mind.
@LDC
Some usual marketing ploy by KyoAni perhaps?
@53RG10
I would so kill for a Kyou After. Game.
@YinMaster
Thanks for holding back, though I myself don’t particularly mind spoilers.
@Kaisos
Me.
@otou
Oh lawl, I’m being left in the lurch again.
@Danny
Taking that into consideration, they should’ve really given everyone a complete makeover to really make a killing through selling figurines.
@double
Oh you. Well, now that there’s this, Lucky Star 2 and moar Clannad, I’d say it won’t be anytime soon.
@Belela
Honestly, I want Lucky Star 2 first.
@Setsuna
I hate Yuki.
@Hangmen
Can’t argue with that, since I’m an LSFag.
@EvilDevil
They must enjoy the hype generating around it.
@FFVIIKnight
Exactly, I almost lost it when I found out. Well for that side story, I think they’re just going to lift it straight from the game, which isn’t such a bad thing.
@Rokku
Hmm, another light novel reader; I really should pick it up when I’ve got the time.
June 8th, 2008 at 10:26 pm
it’s not canceled! it has “disappeared!”
June 10th, 2008 at 7:37 am
That makes two of us Shin ^_^

June 14th, 2008 at 3:48 am
I was actually making the angry face the moment I heard that they were giving TOmoyo her own god damn episode. Like geezus christ guys can we get to Nagisa and Tomoya having babies already?
