Although Astonishment and Disassociation apparently continue the same story arc and still hasn't even finished?  |
Incorrect.
Surprise finished the story started in
Disassociation in two novels (volumes 10/11).

I think they definitely have enough material for another 1 cour run and possibly a 2 cour run. But after that you're pretty much riding right up the novels behind and considering the pace that Tanigawa seems to be writing them at, I'm not quite sure that's a good place to be in.

Again, incorrect. The original plan was to make a second season with
Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody,
Endless Eight,
The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya, and
The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya (in 1, 1, 5, 7 episodes respectively to make 14). In later 2007, the producers decided to make
Disappearance into a movie, and the stories afterwards rely on
Disappearance to make sense, so the post December 24th stories could not be animated. It was not the fault of
Endless Eight as people tend to claim; but a fault in the stories/movie decision. The amount of material is likely too much for a single 2-cour run as the volume 8 stories leave you with excess story for 28 episodes if you devote the second cour just to
Disassociation/
Surprise. No volume has had less than 5 episodes, but it appears
Rampage could be the first (excluding the 7 loops for
Endless Eight) if
Snowy Mountain Syndrome gets 2 as everyone expects.
Here's how you could fit everything (barely) in two-cour minus a couple short stories:
