Anime Vice is reporting that they've gotten a sneak-peek of the upcoming cover of Newtype magazine, and it says that Season #2 of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is due to begin in April. Is this for real?

From the looks of it, it's true.

It might be an adaptation of The Vanishment of Haruhi Suzumiya. Although that's mostly speculation I think. That information can be found here.

Well, unfortunately, Anime News Network is reporting that it's actually a re-broadcast of the first series. Of course, the only way of knowing anything for sure is for someone to get a hold of a copy of Newtype and see what it actually says.

BTW, you wouldn't believe (or maybe you would) the rabid attitude of some fans to this latest news. Maybe I haven't been around other anime fans enough to know what they're really like.

I was pretty excited when I saw this news ... it seems like it's been forever since I finished watching that series.

Yeah, too bad though. But at least it doesn't necessarily negate any possibilities that a second season is in production. There's always a chance that it'll continue, and with the popularity of Haruhi, I can definitely imagine one already being made. If not, then I guess I'll just have to start buying the light novels, the first volume will be released April 1, 2009 by Yen Press here in the US. Although, I really do hope that it'll have a quick release schedule.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to the first novel release as well. I read the online translation of the nine published novels, but would still love to see them in print.

Here's an article by Canned Dogs about the March issue of Newtype. You can draw your own conclusions, but I think it means Season #2 is on the way.

A Japanese man has recently proposed and has also petitioned that he wishes to marry a 2D character. The character in question is no other than Mikuru Asahina from THE MELANCHOLY OF HARUHI SUZUMIYA. Why would someone do this you may ask? Well the man has stated that he wishes to be part of the 2D world. The world we live in is apparently too boring. Unfortunately since transdimensional technology is not yet possible and according to Futarama, won't be until after the year 3000, he wishes to legally marry a 2D character.
Ain't this just nice...? Oh Japan you never cease to amaze us.

You can find this petition on the internets.
