Someone’s been playing too much Persona…

Wow it seems that I had missed something big in the last few days while I was busy with my Idlelogy forum. (Off topic- please do come and join us at the forum. We have an anime & manga section as well. We’re also looking for a few moderators, so if anyone is interested, please contact me.)

Word is all over the blogosphere that KyoAni dropped Haruhi’s sequel, and in it’s place will be an entirely new Suzumiya Haruhi. Apparently, the original season 2 was scrapped off because of some vague reason that they couldn’t just do it so they scrapped it for an entirely new Suzumiya Haruhi series.

Honestly, it all seems very vague and twisted and I won’t be surprised if it all came out as nothing more than a marketing ploy. It’s Suzumiya Haruhi, after all. She thrives on the buzz this kind of announcement creates. Remember last year’s video on tanabata?

For all we know KyoAni is just trying to lead us off track and suddenly surprise us when Haruhi gets aired next month. I mean, it’s possible. They don’t need to do any real promotion for it and like I’ve pointed out above, Haruhi lives on buzz so it might actually be better to keep all hushed up about it other than a few pieces of controversial news like this.

Gawd… Kyonko is freaking hawt!

But it wouldn’t be too bad if KyoAni really decides to drop everything and completely remake the series if they take the gender reversal route. In fact, I would love it very much – Kyonko is never a bad thing XD

Haruhi with long hair… mmm… delicious!

I can’t remember where I actually got this image from, just that Haruhi’s long hair and seifuku is very similar to the ones in the Haruhi scan that’s been going around with this announcement.

True to the nature of Suzumiya Haruhi, there’s been quite a discussion over the 20+ minutes live action video that was released at http://haruhiism.com/ yesterday. Those “in the know” would argue that the teaser was excellent while everyone else would complain that they had just wasted their time on it.

The teaser shows the viewer (me and you) a live action sequence that took place 3 years ago, from the view of the various security cameras around the school Haruhi attended 3 years ago. Taniguchi mentioned in episode 2 that Haruhi admitted to drawing some huge pictograph with a chalk dispenser back in middle school. This is what the video is all about.

Let’s have a brief walkthrough of the video –

Haruhi appeared at the front gates of school, followed by a boy who was carrying another person on his back (presumably Kyon and Mikuru). They broke into the school compound and headed for the storage room and after throwing some equipments on the wagon, took off to the field. The footage for this next part takes up pretty much the rest of the video, as Kyon is seen to be “drawing” something on the field under Haruhi’s instruction.

Regardless of the reactions from fans, KyoAni really went through a lot of trouble to prepare such an elaborate video, on the actual day that the said event happened in the timeline of Suzumiya Haruhi.

Haruhi supposedly got her powers on 7th July 2007 (07/07/07), which was yesterday, when the video was released. So, as far as the story is concerned, the world as we know it might have just been created yesterday after a series of reincarnation by the mind of Suzumiya Haruhi.
