On 7/7/7 at 9pm Tokyo Time (guess they thought that 7/7/7/7 would just be silly) a video was posted to haruhi.tv which appeared to show Haruhi and Kyon, err, I mean John Smith vandalizing a school field. This had previously announced in a full-page ad in the Asahi Shinbun, rendering the site site badly borked at the appointed time, and the video was only available for about an hour. Nonetheless, frantic refreshing of the site eventually paid off. Diego managed to get in just before I did, and has a thorough write-up available. My take: It’s certainly a very interesting video, and it’s nice to know that they’re going to this kind of trouble to drum up interest in the second incarnation of Haruhi, but boy it sure would be nice if they actually gave us some kind of information with this. Full video available inside.

Instead of watching them one by one, I’m watching 3 at a time. Haruhi is very good at how she walks.
[...] and screencapped. Memento has the links. (Thanks, Garten!) There’s also a YouTube version on Heisei Democracy. (Thanks, Seiya!) Watch to your heart’s content – although as I said below, it raises more [...]
they sure put a lot of effort just to create OH WOW EPIC …
but it would be easier with a jpeg and put HARUHI, August, coming near yuo or some shit =__+
Producers: ” What do you want?”
Otaku: “Information.”
Producers: “You wont get it.”
Producers: “But here’s some nifty video to tease you with.”
Why does this remind me of Metal Gear Solid?
THOSE WHO HAVE READ THE NOVEL WOULD KNOW WHAT THIS IS ABOUT. NEXT SEASON IS BOUND TO BE MORE SERIOUS AND EPIC! YES!
and 7 July is exactly what happened in the novel too.
i think more info were be given out during 9/7/2007 or 10/7/2007..Remember the news article that kyoani came out, or the one newtype came out with? it states the date of the newspaper as 10/7/2007.. but also take note that the whole incident that the news reported took place on 9/7/2007…so, the whole video that you guys saw was pre-recorded and not live. pls take note..they cant have a pic of them in action without them having doing the thing..although i never read the novel, what bjorn said regarding the 7 july thing, was to let people know that it’s gonna “..BE MORE SERIOUS AND EPIC!” haf fun!! ^^ looking forward!!!!!!!! haruhi-sama!!
YEA! They’re starting this next season!!! I can’t wait for John Smith!!!

Well, this is really cool, but if they wait too long to release a second season, their fans will slowly, but surely peel off.
As for the time, let’s not forget that 9pm makes it 17:00/7/7/7. I’m not sure what relevance that might have to the story, but we’ll see.
But, if 777 is a divine number, then it fits haruhi to a ‘T.’ And, she was also seen wearing a shirt with “77″ on the left breast in the manga, so maybe 7 or 17 is her favorite number?
hey munky, the time for 9pm is 21, not 17. 7//7/07, or 7*7*7 = 21. Iunno, something I was thinking while watching video. Yeah, if you read the light books anyone who’s watching would understand more of what the video is. That’s I have a new theory as what the “next” season is going to be about, everyone’s speculating that’s going to involve Vol. 4, which I is probably true, though I haven’t gotten quite there yet. Anyways, just wanted to post to correct, munky.
