You don’t really want to know.

You want to be fooled.

But you wouldn’t clap yet.

Because making something dissapear isn’t enough…

you have to bring it back.
-Alfred Borden, The Prestige (2006)

Forgive me, it’s a good movie for quotes. And I had to stick in the old image of the now infamous “Haruhi Returns” to fit the theme of the quote.

But, with any luck, this time it should be for real. According to the Animesuki forums, Newtype’s advance copy of its August issue has that picture above that translates to something vaguely resembling ‘the second period/season of Haruhi Suzumiya’, or at least we hope.

The official word is supposed to be out July 7th (Tanabata, as I’ve heard), so, hold your breath for 48 hours or whatnot. But it seems reliable this time; you guys can trust Konata, right?

In any case, I know I want to be fooled.
