2nd season of Haruhi licensed in US
The North American anime distributor Bandai Entertainment has posted a new video on its ASOS Brigade website, the official “unofficial” site for the Haruhi Suzumiya franchise. In the “Episode 0.8888” video, which is also posted on Bandai Entertainment’s Youtube channel and in this article below, the producer of the English version of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya said that “the contract has been signed” and added that he’s going to “shoot a series of videos to promote the second season DVDs.”
When voice actress Cristina Vee asked if she can have a part in the English voice cast for the second season, the producer replied, “we’ll see about that, you’ll have to audition first.” Vee also sang an English version of “Super Driver”, the opening theme song to the second season of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, in the video.
However, when fellow ASOS Brigade member Karrie Shirou asked when the DVDs are to be released, the video feed encountered “technical difficulties” during the producer’s answer.
On Christmas day, the ASOS Brigade updated its website with a new video, and the main page’s HTML source included an almost endless string of Japanese eights.
