Just look at how the majority responded to this episode with the poll above.

My conclusion, kyoani has successfully pulled off a stunt and wowed its audience.
Yeah, a Kyoani show getting mostly positive marks in an online poll? That's quite the feat, the stunt worked perfectly!

For how well this supposed great stunt worked according to you, I'm seeing significantly less interest in this new season when compared to the previous. Bittorrent downloads were pretty low for the last episode, merely around what would be considered normal for a moderately popular series like Toradora, certainly not what the community for Haruhi was back in the day (Even bigger is the drop on Youtube, the new opener doesn't even have a single video over 100k views after a full week. Back in the day a new episode of Haruhi would top the daily charts, that isn't happening this time around.). There's no way to know whether this'll carry over to DVD sales yet (The first season averaged around 42k a disc) but it's hardly a positive sign in enthusiasm.
