Haruhi Suzumiya Sequel Confirmed (or is it?)

I want to use nyoro~n as a hook in a song.

I'm really, really get a kick of the webshorts. Hope they make a DVD for them down the road or another full out Haruhi series so that the shorts can be included as a bonus.
 
Since these are short, free streaming cartoons I decided to give these a look.
First of all, it's nice that Kadokawa made these available worldwide and even went to the trouble of providing an English subtitled version for foreign fans. However, said subs can often be quite awkward and I noticed in the later episodes that they then took that to just being lazy/error filled.

I'm glad that they seemed to have dropped the cell shading as they went. Japan is obsessed with cell shading/CGI, despite the fact it often looks clumsy and their regular animation easily puts it to shame, as is clearly the case here.
There are some funny gags in both mini shows, but the further I went the more I noticed the creepy otaku appeal elements. Most of these seemed focussed on the purple haired girl (is her name Nagata or some such?) with the increasing jokes of her becoming a shut in obsessive abandoning more ranged interests to play loli hentai games. I think if they'd used it once it could have been an amusing bit of satire but with each passing episode they kept focussing it and celebrating it, seemingly trying to make the character an idol for real folks that act like it. That for me is when the creep starts to set in and kill the funny. However, apparently not content with that, they then started a weird lesbian baby angle with her...wow.

I think clearly this is one of those SD parody shows that is really aimed at existing fans. There are some generally amusing moments (more so in those 'smoked cheese' things) but in general this looks to be swimming in the same themes that kept me away from the main show.
 
I'd say it depenRAB. Trust me, I was just at a convention and there are some very happy fans out there if you know what I mean.
 
"Lesbian baby angle?" Really? It's just a simple mocking of a once-former threatening enemy.

And Nagato was always shut in. She's just switched from shut-in book worm to shut-in gamer, and rule of funny says an Other Being with no worldly knowledge should start with kinky stuff.
 
The initial episode with her reviving and finding she'd come back in tiny form was generally amusing. But the follow up...it's not like they didn't say 'wink wink, subtext' the first time.
 
And now they unload the episodes at us

-Okay you know what? As long as they keep putting these out I don't even care about season 2 as much anymore. They're just too funny.

-That being said, the subtitles are starting to suck hard.

-Kyon: So, Koizumi...
Koizumi: Hmm?
Kyon: I love you
(Koizumi makes a really, REALLY, bishounen, yaoi look)
Haruhi: (Mindf*****)

^^Yes fangirls it finally happened.

EDIT: This is the look in question
 
These Haruhi shorts just keep getting funnier and funnier, honestly I don't even care about season 2 anymore, also I'm surprised Haruhi didn't squeal or nosebleed, too, and the bits with Nagato and Asakura are hilarious

And poor Koizumi
 
It's just the opposite of guys nosebleeding during sexy-girl scenes and what not. Who knows why they like yaoi? We'll talk to Sam about it. She's done her share of nosebleeRAB.

-When is the figure for this going to be made?

And Haruhi #9-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeowXXuP3ig

-So now we know what turns Haruhi on. Really otaku-ish movie scripts.
-I loved when Kyon and Itsuki both realized they also had to wear the maid outfits.
-"Mikuru got confused and stopped thinking." LOL!
-YES YES YES KYON DOES A GAOGAIGAR REFERENCE!
"HIKARI NI NARUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"

(too bad the subtitles translated it as "Become a light." WTF?)
 
These shorts just keep getting funnier and funnier. I'm begining to wonder if the whole Kyon, Koizumi incident brought out the yaoi fangirl in Huruhi (considering that Kyon and Koizumi were going to be the winners xD) Also episode 8 was pure concentrated awsome (poor Kyon though)
 
MoonPhase reportedly says that the "rerun" is 28 episodes in length according to TV Saitama. Another source has claimed that after contacting TVK and Chiba TV it was confirmed that more than one cour (a cour is 12-14 weeks of airtime/episodes) has been reserved for airing.
