Why couldn’t the announcement be made (or leaked) at AX while Minori, Yuko, and Aya were in town out here? — which reminds me, I still have yet to write about my experience last weekend. Anyway, the news comes from the August edition of Newtype magazine and Moonphase. Bear in mind that Clannad hasn’t even begun broadcast yet — so who’s to say when everything will air. However seeing as Clannad should fit in within 26 or so episodes, we can say that the earliest Season 2 may debut may be sometime in Spring 2008.

[EDIT] — There are some reports that now say Clannad may be pushed back until Fall 2008 so Haruhi Season2 can begin broadcast as early as Fall/Winter this year. We’ll keep you posted…

On July 7th, the announcement of the new season will be made formal — including on the official website. Click below for scans — beware they are quite huge:
