Yep. It did happen. No illusions. No holograms. No hypnotism. Real deal. Deal with it.

After what seemed like an agony of time after the ever-talked about Suzumiya Hauhi no Yuutsu finished 3 friggin’ years ago, coupled by an endless cluster of season 2 false alarms along the way, well FINALLY every fan’s wish for three consecutive christmases for a second season finally came true.

Yes. Season 2! Let me do my victory dance. But as I’m doing my victory dance, enjoy these pictures from the episode, which are only Haruhi.

Ok. Finally done with the victory dance.

Yes. Delicious Haruhi is in store for all those craving fanboys, especially since long-haired Haruhi is featured on this one.

Short summary for the sake of those who haven’t seen this yet:

Tanabata. July 7th. Mikuru and Kyon go 3 years before. At that time. Haruhi is still a middle-schooler. Kyon meets her, and she asked him to draw a strange sign on the school grounds (which means “I am here.”). Asahina realizes that she lost her TPDD (a sort of time machine), which means she and Kyon will be stuck at that time. Kyon met with the past Yuki Nagato, who connected with her present self to assess the situation. In a room, she asked Kyon and Mikuru to sleep. At that time, she froze the time on that room for three years (which means the Kyon 3 years ago didn’t know he and Mikuru have been sleeping at the next room when he first met Nagato). Brainf*cked yet?

My Nagato-sama is so awesome.

So after 3 years since the first season, whatever happened to the SOS Brigade?

Kyon aka John Smith, still narrates the story, awesome. Haruhi still does what she wants, and is still SOS Brigade’s QUEEN OVERLORD. Nagato is still awesome, and is still Are-Are’s QUEEN OVERLORD. MIkuru, MOE!!!!!!!!! And Koizumi, Fabulous.

As of what I’ve heard, we won’t be seeing Haruhi again until further notice. I’m still thinking how the viewership would spike, considering most of Kyon-Ani’s viewership has leaned onto K-On! So anyhow, until next episode, I’ll try some Touhou.

For some reason, I found Mikuru’s crying in this episode very sexy. Kill me now.
