If you didn't know it yet, you soon will: Haruhi is back. Currently in Japan, the first season of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is airing in chronological order inter cut with brand new episodes. The first two new episodes have already aired, with the third apparently airing today. The first new episode "Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody" sees the SOS Brigade take on Tanabata festivities, only for Mikuru and Kyon to get stuck in the past! The second, "Endless Eight" sees the SOS Brigade doing tons of summer activities in the last two weeks of the summer break. Both are very good and stick with the high quality of the previous series.
The new series also sees a new opening and ending, which are excellent, but not as fresh and iconic as the first series (what can beat the Hare Hare Yukai??).
So, I'm watching this online currently at the moment, but I'll be getting them on DVD as soon as they come out in the UK, most likely next year.
'Till then, keep the Haruhiism faith!
