Random Musings - Haruhi, Higurashi, and ZnT Sequels Edition December 18

Filed under Higurashi, Random Musings, Suzumiya Haruhi, Zero no Tsukaima by Omni | 44 comments

Before I get to today’s episode of Myself; Yourself, a few quick news items that have come up in the past 24 hours:

  • For those that might not have heard yet, Suzumiya Haruhi is getting some more viral marketing in the form of its website being taken down. ANN has a good write-up on it, and MOON PHASE notes that the copyright for three years (2007-2009) might mean that they’ll be animating two seasons from the fall of 2008 into the spring of 2009. It’s also noteworthy that the director is now Takemoto Yasuhiro (whose previous works include FMP! TSR and the majority of Lucky Star) instead of Ishihara Tatsuya.
  • Higurashi is also getting a third series, according to animate.TV. No further details available yet.
  • Also, to no one’s surprise (at least not mine), the newest MF Bunko J came with an official announcement that there’ll be a third Zero no Tsukaima series. I didn’t think very highly of the second series, but maybe third time’s the charm.

      lol i knew there would be a third of Zero no Stukaima just by seeing how season 2 ended but Suzumiya I knew about it way back turing the summer because they had already announced it back then.

      I wonder how the 3rd season of Higurashi is going to be like…I haven’t seen the last episode yet, so I don’t know if it ended in a cliff hanger or just plan to continue the story.

      Higurashi kai ending was funny, hanyu acting like a younger tessa. Curious about the third season & the horrors, spam of blood/murder and multiple endings ;)

      Damn it, then what will follow Clannad’s end on march?

    6. Wererat42 at 2:34 pm on December 18th, 2007

      Unless they plan on doing the extra stories, like Onisarashi or Saikoroshi, there’s no more story to Higurashi. Matsuribayashi is the final chapter.

      Well seeing the 2008/2009 copyright and the pace Clannad is going at, I really doubt it will end at 24 so maybe the rumors on Moonphase are right.

      Real interesting way to announce the second series. If I only understood Japanese.

      Japanese class for me ain’t going so well. Thanks ANN and RC for giving me the gist of it. XD

      Third time ZnT? zzzzzzzZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz
      Sorry but the second series wasn’t really anything. I’ll go read the novels~
      As for Haruhi the merchandising they do is funny as always. Curious what the second season will be like and what from the novel they’ll animate this time.

      bah……cant wait for haruhi
      read the novel and phew cant really wait

      Personally the announcement for the third season of Higurashi came as a surprise, but as a very pleasant one. Apart from side stories like Onisarashi, Utsutsukowashi or Yoigoshi, they still have the epilogue Saikoroshi, and the alt ending Miotsukushi-hen to work with, so there is still plenty of material, no need to worry :)

    12. mutio at 3:41 pm on December 18th, 2007

      Yay, just noticed that we reported, first time, sth earlier than R.C. :P xD

      The way they programmed the haruhi site seriously PWNS ALL OTHER SITES.
      Check the ann site for more info about it. I like it :D

      ZnT 3 eh, Cant expect that much from them anymore…..

    14. Totali at 3:48 pm on December 18th, 2007

      So many sequels, yet none of them are surprising. Will 2008 be the year of the sequel? ;)

    15. Oblivion at 3:56 pm on December 18th, 2007

      2008 will really be great , I can hardly wait for Code Geass, Haruhi and Higurashi sequels

    16. Story at 4:18 pm on December 18th, 2007

      I’m *very* much looking forward to the new seasons of Haruhi and Higurashi…both series are excellent. Haven’t seen any of Zero no Tsukimaia, though I want to…

    17. Delinom at 4:19 pm on December 18th, 2007

      Hell Yeah! 3rd Season of ZnT , can´t wait for it

      and Higurashi 3 will be arcs of PS2 Game, Higurashi DayBreak and Manga that weren’t animated ^^ I’ll enjoy this too

      see ya

    18. Dea-Sama at 4:21 pm on December 18th, 2007

      Haruhi and ZnT having a second season isn’t much of as surprise … but I had no idea that Higurashi was going to have one too. From what I know, Higurashi ends with the Matsuribayashi arc, right?

    19. tamahome at 4:32 pm on December 18th, 2007

      I really can’t wait for the Haruhi anime… which means more Yuki :D She’s so adorable

    20. Kaioshin Sama at 4:50 pm on December 18th, 2007

      All very very bizarre.

      By the way, concerning the poll, I actually had contemplated this a while back. I think it’s going to be within the next half year, or likely even sooner. Likely thehy even have a Hatsune Miku series in the planning stages already and just haven’t announced it yet. The question now is merely who is going to get the license.
