The August issue of Newtype that will soon be hitting newsstands is reporting that Suzumiya Haruhi’s second season has finally been confirmed. The official announcement is set to be made on July 7th, 2007, which also happens to be the day of the Japanese Tanabata festival. That might be significant because certain events in the Suzumiya Haruhi novel storyline occur on that day. As of yet, there are no confirmed airdates, but MOON PHASE’s diary entry says that, according to an industry announcement from back in March, Kyoto Animation’s schedule will be Suzumiya Haruhi in Fall/Winter 2007 and a light novel adaptation in Spring 2008, so CLANNAD seems to have been pushed back until Fall 2008. We probably won’t know anything more definitive until the official announcement is made. But, regardless of what airs when, this Fall season is going to be chock-full of sequels and potential blockbusters (Konata certainly seems happy about this announcement).
I mentioned yesterday that there will be a one-hour special for CODE GEASS airing on the night of July 28th. That same August issue Newtype has also confirmed that that date will indeed be when the final two episodes of CODE GEASS are airing. For those of you marking your calendars, that’s a Saturday, and I can’t wait to have Gurren Lagann and CODE GEASS together on the same blogging day (even if it’s only once).
Speaking of Gurren Lagann, some scans have also popped up of the future versions of the main characters. They’re a little spoilerish, so click at your own peril.

Man U´re joking right? This is too good news to be truth. I loved the series. And U tellin me that it will have 2nd seaseon?
Yay. Volume 2 US edition is already ordered and now i hear about the second season (which will be licensed as quick as the first for sure).
Thumbs up. Curious which stories from the novel they’ll include.
hmm, the magazine page had the words: “watashi wa koko ni iru.” so im guessing their animating the tanibata festival one. pretty sure its the fourth book.
I’m guessing if it’s definitely confirmed, we should hear something about it on Lucky Star soon… or at the end of the series as per Kanon/Clannad style.
I wonder what Kyoani is going to do. They’ve already done the only action-oriented stories. However, I would rather like to see Snow Mountain Syndrome and the time travelling saga animated.
my god…shes back. So happy! Its probably going to air for the winter schedule. I dont think it will come on in the fall..i mean, that would be too soon right? because they just confirmed the 2nd season. Well, i wonder how much eps there will be….really, cant wait. ^^
the 2nd season better not be a rip off like shuffle memories that disappointed millions of fans of the first season. i’ll be on a look out for this be i really enjoy the first one
I just learned this from Jason’s blog as well (which also had a scan of Haruhi sitting with her back turned away from the reader… sporting an ahoge longer than Shana-tan’s, I might add) With the message “I am here.” (watashi wa, koko ni iru) posted on the side. Suffice to say, the events of Tanabata are PROBABLY going to play a part in the upcoming series.
Oh, and LOL at the “Tsukasa does not know who Haruhi is.” bit at the bottom.
This is awesome news! Along with the 2nd season of Higurashi, I have been waiting for this to happen. Also, Gurren Lagann + Code Geass on the same day = total ownage!
AND YEA CAPPS OWN!!!OMG…ALL THIS AWESOME CRAP!!!!I have new meaning in my life now…and Gurren lagann+ code geass…ON THE SAME DAY!!!Thats like giving 50 bucks and an all u can eat-buffet to a homeless wanderer in a third world country!!!!One side note…i don’t get the hype in SHnY…its not that i hate it, in fact i like it a lot, but like GStrike said, i think its a tad too much overrated. Anyways….OMG!!!!THANK YOU O GREAT NEWS BEARER!!
Code Geass 24 & 25 at the end of teh month (one day fater The Simpson’s movie world-wide premiere) and now maybe Haruhi for october or January of next year. This day couldn’t be more perfect…
So by “final” for Code Geass, is it implied that there won’t be a second season? I thought I read something on AnimeNewsNetwork that confirmed there was a second season coming…
I really hope by “final two episodes”, they mean the final two episodes of the first season…not overall 🙁
Hi all, I am new to this blog site. Well i know about this site for quite a while and coming back and forth everyday to read the thread. Just to say you people are doing a nice job blogging.
Anyways back on track, Suzumiya Haruhi’s second season is definitely great news. If this is really coming out in fall then god its going to be a blast. not only this but shakugan no shana 2 and zero no tsukaima 2. Now they have to announce the Tsubasa Chronicle 3 and Rozan Maiden 3 ^_^
Not 100% sure by final of “Code Geass”, you can take it as final of season one because season two is under a different title iirc ( still code geass just not lelouche the rebellion).
I guess I’m the only one who’s crying because CLANNAD got pushed off 5 seasons away.
Kyoani is SO MEAN!!!!! Why didn’t they put the Haruhi 2 trailer after Kanon’s final episode instead of CLANNAD if they were gonna do this?!?
Atleast they could’ve only pushed CLANNAD off to Spring2008 since it’s theme is Spring anyway.
/me *cries*
/me *starts sulking at Haruhi*
/me *probably gets laughed at by Haruhi fans*
/me *Goes off to rewatch Code GEASS eps 2,11,17 in hopes of it cheering me up*
We’re less than three hours away from midnight Tokyo time. I wonder if they’ll put the notice up on the website at the stroke of twelve (unlikely if it’s anything else, but this is Haruhi we’re talking about).
I think the fourth book is our best bet for the core story, with elements from book three and the other short-story compilations. (Judging from the picture, I’m pretty sure Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody will feature in there somewhere.) The second book is also a good candidate if they’re aiming for a bit of comedy, though I personally think it’s a weaker (but nonetheless highly enjoyable) story.
OOOOHHH YEEEEAAAHHH! I’m so f***ing excited! Code Geass + Suzumiya Haruhi 2nd Season + Clannad? And those future scans of the main characters from Gurren Lagann? WOOOOOOW!!! Simon looks so cool and Nia…hm…. 😛 …BOOBIES. But whats with that long ssj3 hair? 😀 Nvm….Btw. Choose between CLANNAD and Suzumiya Haruhi 2nd Season? U R so cruel :'( Wheres the 4th option? “Both” 😀 I’m gonna watch both.
SORRY TO POST YET AGAIN .. but after reading the many interesting posts something dawned on me. LUCKY STAR/SUZUMIYA HARUHI. . . . i am one in the maybe 20% demographic thats not going gaga hype-machine bonk myself onthe head with a banana over these two shows,granted i give lucky star its props for its uniqe seinfield-ish quality “thats pretty original” where as SHny really dosent impress me……….but heres my revelation …tell me if im way of or on the money . . .PEOPLE GO CRAZY OVER THESE TWO SHOWS BECAUSE THEY BOTH FEATURE SOME SORT OF CHEERLEADER-ESQ TYPE DANCE NUMBER..the anime community are suckers for a choreographed dance number …..NOW!…… time to profit off this
LOL. You might have something there. As crappy as the music for the Lucky Star OP is, it still seems to be popular largely because of the dance number. Maybe the next FMP! adaptation can have high-kicking arm slaves in the opening titles. And have Kalinin, Tess, Kurz, and Mao karaoke a different cheesy anime/sentai song each week for the ED. I’d watch it.
When I say the finale, I mean the end of the first series. The second series will invariably have a different name (if even something as simple as CODE GEASS II).
Actually, I’m not too interested in FMP at the moment. I appreciated Lucky Star since it was new material, but it probably worked better as a 4-koma strip than being an anime. I’d be curious if they can conjure up some new material, but Haruhi/Key shows are pretty good announcements at the moment.
Hey Now! Hold Up There! The only mecha series that is allowed to have a dance number in the opening is Overman King Gainer with everybody’s (People’s and Robot’s included) movements all choreagraphed to the music and then suddenly doing The Monkey as imagined in the funny farm known as the great Yoshiyuki Tomino’s brain.
Oh great, that’s a subtle but massive Gurren Lagann spoiler. So somebody else is gone too…
Oh, and I doubt Haruhi Season 2 will be as raved about after it’s shown. The author kinda ran out of brilliant parodies in the next few novels. It’s getting too benign in the last few novels too :/
That coming from a Haruhi-ist.

sounds good
that’s damn good, god really exist or not, anyway this is really surprising haha
Woo! That’s some great news.
disappearance finally! that’s my hope for 2nd season.
we got gurren lagann scans from the future o.0
one word: SWEET.
omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >(o-o)>….
yatttaa
been keeping updated with the novels as well, can’t wait to see kyoani work their magic again.
YESSSSS!!!!!!!
Yeay?
hell yeah!
hmm, the magazine page had the words: “watashi wa koko ni iru.” so im guessing their animating the tanibata festival one. pretty sure its the fourth book.
Konota aproves!!!
Woot! Finally something to look forward to.
I’m soo happy! *0*
Can’t wait ^-^
OMG our prayers has been answered.
God has returned to tell us more.
All is right with the world.
I’m guessing if it’s definitely confirmed, we should hear something about it on Lucky Star soon… or at the end of the series as per Kanon/Clannad style.
SHnY is overrated
I wonder what Kyoani is going to do. They’ve already done the only action-oriented stories. However, I would rather like to see Snow Mountain Syndrome and the time travelling saga animated.
Woo! Woo! Very awesome news. 😀
YES BANZAI i give my thanks to GOD, now i hope they will include the meloncholy of asahina mikuru and the part where they were filming their movie.
Holly crap
This is the 2nd happiest day of my life… the first will be tomorrow at TransFormers Premiere in my country
sayoran: THE CHICK DIES
At last!
She will return and we will obey!
Of course there was gonna be a second season. But wtf, I thought the airdate was revealed was finally revealed. -_-
my god…shes back. So happy! Its probably going to air for the winter schedule. I dont think it will come on in the fall..i mean, that would be too soon right? because they just confirmed the 2nd season. Well, i wonder how much eps there will be….really, cant wait. ^^
I thought it was confirmed a long time ago but apparently it wasn’t. Good news. Hope it’s as funny as the first season.
FINALLY! More of Haruhi!
kyoani has yet to disappoint, i don’t think they’re about to start doing so with their most popular franchise
more bubba figures plz~
I’m filled with joy~ ^_^ YAY~
Lets hope the 2nd series lives up to the 1st one 😛
If not, i can always be happy with just Claymore.
Just: YES!
Woot!! More haruhi goodness! 😀
Glad to know KyoAni answered our prayers ne. And as what others say, let’s hope that the 2nd season will create a bigger BANG than the first. 😀
BTW…. Let’s hope that there will be another Mikuru’s unfortunate moments, like Haruhi biting her ear in the 1st season for instance, kekeke 😀
This is awesome news! More Haruhi goodness!
I’ve been too lazy to read all novels, so this gives more reason to not to, because anime was quite good and faithful.
If I’m not mistaken, in one article, Kyon mentioned about: “Nagato Yuuki no Gyakushuu (Nagato Yuki’s counter attack)” maybe what will be happened.
the 2nd season better not be a rip off like shuffle memories that disappointed millions of fans of the first season. i’ll be on a look out for this be i really enjoy the first one
WHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????????
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am guessing this will probably based on the disappearance of Haruhi suzumiya (the volume of the novel that is after the boardom of Haruhi suzumiya
There is a God!
Thank you, KyoAni. Haruhi was one of the most entertaining and well done series I have ever seen, and I can’t wait to see what else is in store.
And I was going to start reading the novels.. Hah. Probably still will.
Yes!!! More of Haruhi!!
yesssssssssssssssssssss.
Great News!
My Godess returns!
I am wondering…What are the chances of it being a whole season(26 eps)?
I just learned this from Jason’s blog as well (which also had a scan of Haruhi sitting with her back turned away from the reader… sporting an ahoge longer than Shana-tan’s, I might add) With the message “I am here.” (watashi wa, koko ni iru) posted on the side.

I’ll mark my calendar then…
O_0 so… Code Geass will be done after the two episodes? There wont be any season 2? T_T
So by “final” for Code Geass, is it implied that there won’t be a second season? I thought I read something on AnimeNewsNetwork that confirmed there was a second season coming…
I really hope by “final two episodes”, they mean the final two episodes of the first season…not overall 🙁
Oh sweet, this post contains too much goodness for anyone one post to have!!
Great stuff man, thanks for the heads up. Will be looking forward to a bright tmrw 😀
That Gurren Lagann scan is such a surprise! This show just gets better and better!

LJkAze: “they don’t have any plans on airing TC season 3”- NHK
Not 100% sure by final of “Code Geass”, you can take it as final of season one because season two is under a different title iirc ( still code geass just not lelouche the rebellion).
Wow… today must be a lucky day. SHnY and CG being announced at the same time.
Code Geass WHAT hour special? o HELL YA
That is good news indeed code geass and Suzumiya are some of my most enjoyed animes.
Our prayers have been heard and granted.
Regarding Haruhi
Show Spoiler ▼
Never read the novels, but I’ve seen her before in 4chan.
As predicted, there are many blockbuster this fall. I just can’t wait to reach fall season. >0
yeah! HARUHI! ^_________^
have you thought that maybe, maybe the second season of code geass AND haruhi will air this fall???
I have got chills just by thinking about it 🙂
I guess I’m the only one who’s crying because CLANNAD got pushed off 5 seasons away.

Can’t wait for tomorrow to see the official announcement for Suzumiya Haruhi’s 2nd season 😀
rather see clannad, some thing new “fresh” VS. something we already seen
i cant wait to seen grownup simon
man if he is that one from first episode so he will be a real badass who far surpasses kamina
SORRY TO POST YET AGAIN .. but after reading the many interesting posts something dawned on me.

Harui, Code Geass and Guren Lagann in the same post??? do you really want me to die from a heart attack
(Yet I wont before seeing these)
i cant wait to see grownup simon if he is the one from first episode so he will be a badass who far surpasses kamina
this is some of the best news i’ve heard recently! Although right now i’m more excited about eps 24 & 25 of code geass.
Simon, Nia, and what’s-his-face look so cool!! >w
all 3 of my favorite shows on the same musing? …this is madness!
well, i’m happy about haruhi, but at the same time i’m a little sad, this means that my favorite series: FMP will get pushed back even more :'(
i’m soooo tempted to look at the gurren future images, but i’m not gonna, for now
haven’t watched code-geass but it’s on my to-do list so that is good news
Err is just characters design of Simon, Nia and whatishisname … nothing is spoiled.

Omni: It’ll be Code Gease DESTINY [xP, JK]
did a new FMP announced or something
so disappointing that the rumors of more haruhi are true. *sweat* I’m sure there’s far better stuff they could cough up.
Actually, I’m not too interested in FMP at the moment. I appreciated Lucky Star since it was new material, but it probably worked better as a 4-koma strip than being an anime. I’d be curious if they can conjure up some new material, but Haruhi/Key shows are pretty good announcements at the moment.
oh great… another haruhi for me to not understand 1 bit. *marks calendar for code geass final* =D
