The TV previews were replaced by Yuki's version, while the TV versions (with Haruhi and Kyon) were placed in "extras."
If so, you would loss the opportunity to hear Yuki doing the preview.  Why not have both versions at a small price of disc switching?
The episode sequence is not chronological in later releases of R2 DVDs either (IIRC from the 3rd one). |

That wasn't by any chance made by the same people did that Cardcaptor Sakura and Rozen Maiden crossplay video, was it? Just wondering... |

Thanks for the info. If it does get licensed here I don't care how they release the episodes, but I hope they also include the original previews in some way, even as extras. And now that I think about it I would also like to see the remade previews with Yuki. |

Or they could release it twice. A nice duel release of the series with one release in broadcast order and one in chronological order. They could even have different art for each version. It'd let them use more of the original Japanese art from the DVDs, right? The broadcast version could be the Haruhi set, with menues and extras geared toward the craziness of Haruhi. The chronological version could be the Kyon set, with everything laid out logically with sensible extras. Go ahead and EVA it! |

Woah shizznit... and it all falls into place mentally 
I had wondered why on earth they would release a chronological order set...  duh, to make more money by selling the preferred set by most fans again later to try and get them to buy both! That's diabolical... good call Richard J.!

*is also interested in hearing the Yuki previews*
One alternate idea is to use dual-sided discs, similar to what Pioneer did with the now-discontinued Sherlock Hound to accomodate the different episode lengths in the English vs. the Japanese audio. So, let's say they do a 4-disc release: (numbers are broadcast/Haruhi order) Vol. 1 Side A: 1,2,3,4 Side B: 2,3,5,10 Vol. 2 Side A: 5,6,7 Side B: 13,14,4 Vol. 3 Side A: 8,9,10 Side B: 7,6,8 Vol. 4 Side A: 11,12,13,14 Side B: 1,12,11,9 You'd still have to buy all the discs to get all the episodes, and they could easily distribute extras across both sides to fit everything in. That would make the release uber-cool. |

I just know people would watch all of the episodes on each disc if they released it like that... even if they were out of order. It's not really wanting to have the option to watch them in that order... it's wanting for whoever's new to the series to watch them in that order, since I feel the anime has a greater effect if you view them in the broadcast order. Of course, this may also be because that was the order I first watched it in... But after watching it chronologically, it just didn't seem nearly as interesting to me. It was still good, but I just felt it was missing that extra touch...
No, you'd be able to skip Vol. 2 and still have all the episodes if they released it like that. I am still strongly for releasing it in the broadcast order (even if the Yuki previews were left out, I would still prefer it). Richard J.'s idea also seems like a good one to me. |

Hey all.
I apologize if this has been discussed already (because I can't search this 74-page thread), but I have word from an insider (www.moonphase.cc) that there will be a second season of Haruhi Suzumiya due Fall 2007 at the earliest, accompanying Zero no Tsukaima.
There has been no official confirmation whatsoever for either series, but this insider has been known to track dozens of series before they even reach the press, so I'll give it 80% trust (significantly higher than that trailer fluke, right?). |

Moon Phase is one of the most important, if not THE most important, websites to spot new anime projects. The one you quoted is its blog; another page contains gigantic tables with proposed schedules up to 2008. Some of them may not be materialized, though. |

Yep! I love that site. I hope there's more than one person maintaining it, because the amount of material reported there is staggering. |

Okay, I made my sister watch the first four eps so far, and we were both laughing. She likes especially Mikuru, who seems to be one who can't really so no to anything. She does want to know however (I'm sure this has been asked), why spoiler[Haruhi cut her hair in ep 2,] which I wasn't really able to explain to her because I'm somewhat stopped on that myself.

I think spoiler[Kyon said to Haruhi in Episode 2 (air order) that he thought Haruhi would look better with short hair, and then Haruhi shows up to school the next day with her hair cut short. This type of "Kyon slips in a comment, Haruhi reacts" routine will happen a lot more in the series, and is speculated to mean something...] Not completely sure on this though, as I don't remember the series too well. To tell the truth, I've not watched anymore Haruhi at all after following the series and then rewatching it once in the chronological order back in...July? |

I think that might be it, but I thought it was more of the fact that spoiler[now that someone found out her purpose in changing her hair every day to avoid getting recognized by the aliens (that was her intent in changing her hair, right? I watched the series in August, so I don't really remember), it would no longer work. ] But, your explanation is a little more abstract and seems to make more sense. |

I always assumed thatspoiler[ she liked Kyon from the time he talked to her since no one in the class room would igknowledge her existence. She wouldn't admit it though but she liked him which was obvious from that point foward, which is why she did alot of things he asked her to do...like frentymon said "Kyon slips in a comment, Haruhi reacts" happens alot.]

 ), but I myself prefer to agree with you that Haruhi probably spoiler[just likes him. The ending (broadcast order) with her ponytail would demonstrate that; and her jealous reactions at poor Mikuru  ]
