Hah, nice catch. 
As a moderate completionist, and a moderate fan of S2, I'll of course be buying this. Thanks for biting the bullet Bandai, and godspeed. |

Great news! I'm perfectly happy with the episodes as I have them now, but I'll gladly support the industry by buying them on DVD. It'll probably be a boxed set, which is a much better model for releasing anime, and I'm one of those bothersome loons that really enjoyed "Endless Eight" anyway.

I'll buy it too. It was the way the series was visualized.
I'll be happier if the ONAs were released and we get a BD release. |

I'm bored of Bandai's games...
The Japanese side just mess them around and ruin their stunts anyway, I'm not going to be following all the source code and crap this time, last year was painful enough and hardly anything has actually come to fruition of it... Just license a show and release it Bandai... |

Well I for one can't wait to buy season 2 on DVD when Bandai releases it. It's the one reason I haven't bought a copy of season 1 yet. Because $5 says there going to release a in-order boxset with both seasons for one price.

Make it so. This is their one hope of profiting on the series, IMHO. They could first release the new eps subbed and probably not lose money. But a BD release of this caliber would end up on any Haruhi fan's shelf eventually. With that, and then a BD dubbed release of the movie, all would be forgiven and forgotten. |

Cool, can't wait for a dub, if that's what is planned. Unlike the others, I actually loved E8 (I love teh artsy stuff)

I love artsy stuff, but E8 is one of the last things I would attach the label of art too since it's pretty much just an attention grabbing gimmick and not even a very good on at that. Bandai/Kadokawa are probably going to have to rely on some serious marketing gimmicks (no problem for Kadokawa since that's about all they do) and the hope that there are still enough diehard fanboys left out there in order to make any sort of stateside release of this series work. Unlike Japan popular name brand doesn't automatically mean instant success even if the quality isn't there.

Hell yeah, that would be awesome actually, if somebody at the studio had enough of a sense of humor and the skill to rewrite the episode scripts successfully. |

Someone call in Steven Foster. Eric Johnson would be a good one too for his script changes in Desert Punk. |

I actually hate that excuse. Everything, good or bad, is how it was visualized. Just because the creators decided they'd visualize it done this way, doesn't make that way good, or any more acceptable. A good director can visualize a film and still have it come out bad. A good company can visualize a season of a popular season and still have it come out poorly. Just because the track record up until this point has been good, doesn't mean fans of that previous work need to take on apologists stance when a quality drop is encountered. If you like it then so be it, but the "it's how they visualized it" argument is really pretty full of holes. |

Lots of good and bad movies are done. The label of "good" or "bad" is up to the viewer. Either way the titles are released how the production team viualised it. I buy "uncut, unedited" anime and extended version theatricals. All you guys suggesting slicing out a part of E8 are suggesting the release of a "cut" version. So warts and all, I want season 2 in the order it was meant to be seen uncut. I'm not apologizing for anything. I'm stating my buying preference. And since Bandai does nice BDs... *hint, hint, hint* |

*blinks at hikaru004* I'm reading through threads rather fast this evening (need to go get some food) but I just realized something. One thing that Bandai might do with a US release of S2 of Haruhni that would include a dub would be re-release all of the show (both seasons) and put it out on Blu Ray, san Japanese Track
 . On one hand, yeah I'd probably buy that. On the other hand, that would really annoy the Sub fans and I wouldn't blame them one bit. I'm not very happy about the backwards trend of Bandai Blu Rays and audio tracks, though I do understand the market reasons for it :sigh:
