Hello and greetings fellow otaku,
Well before I begin this next post, I just want to clarify some information about a recent post that was uploaded yesterday. Yesterday I mentioned that Bandai Entertainment was re-releasing The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya as part of there Anime Legends collection. Originally I mentioned that this collection was going to include both seasons one and two of the popular anime series. However I was wrong about that assumption, the box set that is going to be released next month is only going to have the original season one episodes and not season two.
But for those who are major Haruhi fans who are wondering when the second season is going to be released, rumor has it that the second season of the popular series will be released on August 17. Now please keep in mind that this is just a rumor and that we cannot officially confirm or deny this information. I am assuming that Bandai will make an official announcement about this later on this week, but I am not going to say that this is an official release date. As always stay with us for the latest developments on this developing story.
And just for the record, all posts that relate to new series and release dates for popular anime series coming to DVD featured on Anime Full Circle have been researched and confirmed by company websites and credible anime news sites such as Anime News Network among other credible news sources. This means that I will only post this information that is considered as accurate information. And with that this will wrap another edition of breaking news in anime. So until next time, remember that there is a ton of great anime and manga out there. All you have to do is find it. Ltrs.
