It's all about giving the consumers some participation, make them feel their existence is acknowledged. Whatever they want to release is already ready to go, they just want to get some hype from it first. It's also good to collect data on the number of people actually visiting the site.

From what I've read on some Japanese businesses, they want numbers to show that there is a demand for something regardless of how many times it's been done before. It's redundant, but that's how they think. Having the site hit the number in a week and a half shows a great amount of demand for a third season or a new novel (though sales from Surprise would compliment demand for a new novel greatly). There's also the idea that Kadokawa wants to continue the hype going since 2008. We've had many things going in succession:
That's also not counting things like stage greetings, DVD releases of the second season, the lottery figure promotion, games, and other merchandise that were released. They've had something going on for nearly 3 years for us to be looking forward to, so Negai was just continuing that. I'm sure something will be released shortly. That's why I'm not worrying about it not popping up instantly.

Certainly Tanabata also figures into the theme of the Haruhi Negai site too. I am cautiously optimistic about a new anime season since Surprise set a new record in first week light novel sales, and how well they did on sales of the movie. KyoAni also seems like they could be close to being ready to do a new season.
I wonder though if we are in for a new season, will it be known as the third season of Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya or will it be called the Intrigues of Haruhi Suzumiya since the Intrigues novel would be at the heart of a new 1 cour season. Would this sound right as far as the episode titles for a new season? Spoiler for Possible episode titles for a new season:
I haven't been able to read past Disappearance yet, but let me know if that would be close to what a hypothetical new season would entail. |

I can't say on a name because both sides have good reasons for their part to be true. It'll be what it'll be. As for your list, it would easily fit in for a season. The problem is that there are the two longest stories in the series within a book of each other and that complicates episodic ordering. Thus far, they've ended each season with a novel (season 1 - Melancholy, season 2 - Disappearance) so that you have a concluding part. That would lend credence to having Intrigues finish a season. But then you have 2 stories from novel 8 that would take up 4 episodes of a Dissociation/Surprise season that would really need as much time as it could get if done like the other novel stories. It's going to be difficult to have an episode order planned for these next 6 novels (might as well count the extra stories to be another novel).

Spoiler for Hypothetical third season(1 cours without vol 8):
KyoAni could also surprise us by doing a two cours followup that catches up with the novels. Spoiler for Hypothetical Third Season(2 cours):
Of course, Volumes 9, 10 and 11 could take up its own 1 cours season(and maybe even more). I feel like I'm counting down the days until Tanabata. I am also sure that I am not the only one. Last edited by AbZeroNow; 2011-06-20 at 22:20. Reason: spelling |

Why are people so hung up about another movie? I don't want another movie, they take too long to make and come at the cost of the Western fanbase not getting to see them outside of a low-quality camrip for an entire goddamn year.
Besides, Disappearance worked as a film because not only is it a relatively standalone sci-fi romance story, it's also a very fucking good sci-fi romance story. This is gonna sound terrible, but I don't think the other novels even deserve a movie, in comparison. |

Disappearance works well as a film only as long as it's in the context of the rest of the series. Asakuru stabbing Kyon only works if you've seen the original episode where that happened; otherwise she's just some faulty, rebellious mook. Yuki as a timid literature club member only works if you've had some time to get attached to her normal character. Kyon going back in time and seeing about twenty different versions of himself there only works if you know where the other versions come from. If you're watching the movie by itself, you don't have any time to get connected to the characters. You feel no attachment to them. The events wouldn't make a lot of sense. It wouldn't be a romance story at all, because the entire premise of Kyon making a choice between Haruhi and Yuki is predicated on the audience knowing his relationship with both in the first place. Otherwise, his decision would seem like, "Yeah, you're nice and all, but honestly, there's this other girl, so...." That's not a good romance story.

I said that it was relatively standalone and also good, but I wasn't trying to imply that it's good BECAUSE it's standalone or that it's nearly as good if you haven't seen the show.
What I meant was that it's easier to sell to the general moviegoing public than any other story in the series. Also it's really not that suspenseful. The middle part of the movie is quite boring. |

I think the film can basically stand on its own but watching the series beforehand would help establish the relationships between the characters including the very crucial relationship that Kyon and Haruhi have with each other. Disappearance marks a turning point for Kyon. The roof scene shows that the SOS-dan is his Nakama and that nobody, not even a nigh-omnipotent alien entity is going to do harm to any of his Nakama. It also shows that Kyon understands that Haruhi has changed since she met him and that he knows her very well. In fact in Snowy Mountain Syndrome, Spoiler for SMS, Kyon and Haruhi.:
So yes, Disappearance works as a romantic story if it highlights and shows some development to the Haruhi and Kyon relationship. |
