As some have noted in the Haruhi forums, KyoAni and Kadokawa virtually had a PR coup. How much advertising was actually done by the audience through viral means or word of mouth? Also, how much did the companies themselves spend on promoting the second season? Magnificent guys we have here.

I'm sure everyone is expecting a second season of Haruhi, especially those who read the novels.
Its just that these people have no patience at all, I didn't even feel that these 3 years was long for me. I even think time passes too fast, I've never had enough time.

People thought that Kadokawa was trolling them, but in reality they've been 'trolling' as a way to keep the pot warm. People stuck to the news and rumours expecting to see a new season soon, but they just don't have that patience and faith to wait.

My NEET time is way lesser. I enlisted in Feb 17, 2004, and got out on June 16, 2006. The Uni starts in August 2006.
Anyway, people are already claiming that the director who left is causing the show to suck slightly. While that may be true, if a company builds its reputation on only one director, we have a problem.

Time flies faster the older you get or so it seems like. Just the other day I was talking about the Barcelona olympics with a colleague and went, crap, has it really been over 15 years.

Good planning/execution, but it's not something that'll work well with something else, although the studio itself is building a rather cult followership so who knows... |

Its hard to judge whether the director is good or not after just 1 episode.
That director who left is the director who got sacked after the 1st 4 episodes of Lucky Star, for not 'performing up to standards'. He was the one responsible for a good amount of greatness in Haruhi S1, and even better known for the Hare Hare Yukai dance animation. His love for dancing then carried on to Kannagi's OP. Because he has left, we do not have a dancing ED this time round.

The hype of the show and the discussions following it had such massive impact that it affects people in different ways depending on when they watched it. The dance itself was the mother of all memes. Usually memes are short events, a phrase or something compact. But Hare Hare was a meme that's an entire dance, soon people posted videos MADs and even danced to the song themselves. The new age of memes truly took over when people saw the incredible dance after the incredible episode 1.

For myself, it was simply the amazing attention to animation quality and detail in that one little ED. I can only speculate that such a well-articulated dance gave the energetic fans something to work with at conventions.

Pretty much. You have to wonder how many people are really there for the shows based on overall consistent quality so much as they are there for the shitstorm of memes, trolling and hype that always spawn out of them. People insist it's the former, but every year that goes by it feels more and more like it's really just the latter.

We still don't know much about why the second season was postponed. Unlikely it had anything to do with Kyoani, unless their order portfoilio was filled years in advance, which I doubt. My guess is that the marketing people at Kadokawa tried to keep the fans busy with viral marketing while the company sorted whatever issue there was in the meantime. The quality issue is different, Kyoani is producing more and with fewer intervals then they did during their time on say Haruhi and Kanon. I wonder how big of a trade off they had to make in terms of quality. Alternatively, due to the crisis there may be less money available per project and Kyoani is just delivering what they are paid for by the production committee. |

I think it would be epic if Kyoto Animation did an anime adaptation for the Phoenix Wright series. They've had experience in adapting visual novels and Phoenix Wright is kind of like a visual novel plus they paid homage to it in that episode of Haruhi.

I say any Anime production of Pheonix wright is long overdue, I mean it has a manga so why not give it an anime adaption? I'm unsure whether or not KyoAni should do it. But with the murder scenes I think maybe a studio who excels in that area should do it.
I noticed that KyoAni have no releases for summer from the early signs of the summer anime list. I wonder what I'd do without a KyAni production for the new season.

I don't know if there are any other more current threads than this one, but..
since Full Metal Panic has now got an ending that they could put into an anime and I know there is a demand for another season of it.... Haruhi also has lots that they can animate, however Book 10 still hasn't been released and we've only seen a preview. Haruhi certainly has the ratings to justify a new season. Which do you think KyoAni will give a new season to first: FMP or Haruhi? |

Haruhi is still relatively fresh in people's minds when compared to FMP, which is around 5 and a half years old. Haruhi is probably more popular too and I wouldn't exactly say there's a 'demand' for a [third?] season of FMP either; rather people would welcome it. |
