Not long after the entrance of the school, Suzumiya Haruhi introduced herself in a strange way.

“I’m not interested in ordinary people. If you came from outer space, or from the future, or you have a supernatural power, come to my place”

The classmates wondered whether she was serious or just kidding, but as our protagonist Kyon finds out, there was way more to this girl than anyone could ever imagine.

Cool for having the 2nd season, but I am not watching those vexatious endless eight episodes again.. -__-

I dont mind watching the endless eight episodes but I have other anime to watch. :V

Uh...I gots a question here...while I may enter the contest, and I'm happy to finally see the new episodes up here, last I heard, didn't the original season 1 episodes of Haruhi have new bits of footage and dialogue added for the airings and release of the season 2 episodes?
