Just saying, not out of the ordinary for them to do that ;P - Though you're right.

Hopefully we'll be able to tell on Sunday. I really hope they put in a preview at the end of Lucky Star.

Disappearance requires Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody to be adapted as well, and if they're going to adapt something from that far back in the time line (BLR takes place in between Boredom (the chapter, not the book) and Mystérique Sign), they might as well adapt other stuff they left out of the last season. I can see the 2nd season possibly being 24 eps, and if they do go with that amount then they will have plenty of space to adapt both Sighs and Disappearance and any surrounding stories.

And I certainly don't see them not following the "Kyon/Haruhi" anachronic/chronological order again.

Hum, but if they do a 24 episodes season (please, oh please let them do a 24 episodes season) they won't be able to be quite as all over the place with the episode order as in season 1. For exemple, showing ep.2 as ep.20 or mixing episodes from Sighs and Disappearance would take the anachronic order from 'fun' to 'confusing'. So yeah, I'd expect them to mix up the episode order, but not too much (if that makes sense).

Without a doubt they will need Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody. And I am sure that Sighs will be in the series as a 2 parter. However, I only see it as a 14 episode series again, as it is the only way to have enough material for a 3rd season. My thoughts are that this wil be anachronological again, but Bamboo leaf with be considered part of the Disappearence segment.

I think that, as tradition for many Anime series, a movie will be released for Suzumiya Haruhi. What I think the series will do is cover the novels 3-8 in the series then have 9-10 possibly covered in a movie. Only a wild theory though.

Don't think so, because anime movies that get made from anime series; either have a made-up story like something extra or have a recap of a couple of ep with some new material.

I could see Snow Mountain Syndrome being made into a movie. It's pretty long and involved, and might do better on its own as a movie or OVA than mixed in with another series.

[Raptor73]

Whether a movie is made or not, I'm going to be very interested into how they manage to produce novels 9 and 10 into an Anime, as having 2 separate time-lines is going to be hard to implement. They could always just show time-line 1 then time-line 2 in separate episodes, but then where's the fun in that? plus I think that would take away some of the impact of the story.

Hopefully they'll come up with a cool solution, I mean after all, they got away with airing the series completely unchronological

Season 2 will be hard pressed to talk about novel 5 as it talks about Disappearance, given the sheer amount of plot in it. Admittedly, KyoAni is taking on a task even more ambitious in that they're doing Clannad in 2x episodes (according to Moon Phase in 2 installments and letting Haruhi2 take the stage in winter). I would lean to let KyoAni focus itself on doing a marvelous job with Disappearance than covering more ground atm.

I have been very much anticipating this.

After reading a lot of the light novels (translated, I can't read enough japanese to read them in their original language), I must say that there are a lot of stories left for them to adapt.

Personally, I really want to see the Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya as the "anchor" story, like Melancholy was in season one. If they go for another 12-14 episodes, that should be fine. They can throw Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody somewhere in there, and a couple other stories. If they do that, I think they can do the two different orders again. Most likely, if they are going off the novels, then they have to bring in stories that fall between season one's episodes anyway.

However, if they go for 24 episodes, like we all seem to be hoping they'll need two big story arcs. In 24 episodes, they really could exhaust a lot of the source material. I'm excited to see what happens.

I can't wait for the next season (hopefully start airing after Clannad), i would prefere they took it kind of slow but it doesn't bother me too much.

A 24 episode of season 2 would be great, i like to rewatch the 1st season from time to time so rewatching a 24 episode season would be great for me.

[gunyu1]

2nd season?!?!? can't wait for it!!! heheheheh

Summarization: Discussing what will be in the second season. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya was based off of a series of light novels, so the second season will do the same. People are guessing as to what part of the novels there will be, how they'll do it, and how many episodes it will be.

Will there be another season: Yes, after Clannad finishes.

When: Around winter, after Clannad.

I hope that helped.
