Good news for you Haruhi fans: the upcoming eighth episode on May 24th is not a repeat episode, but a new episode. The episode title is Sasa no Ha Rhapsody or Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody. Some background information on this episode reveals that this particular episode was written up but not animated in the first run of the Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu series. Until it airs, it's hard to tell whether or not if this follows within events in the first run or the first episode for the second season.
EDIT: This episode chronologically occurs after the baseball game episode, "The Boredom of Suzumiya Haruhi" (ep. 4 in broadcast/Kyon order; or episode 7 in chronological/Haruhi order).
This new episode begins (probably) two weeks after the Suzumiya Haruhi-chan no Yuuutsu and Nyoro-n Churuya-san series concluded with the 25th and 13th episodes respectively on KADOKAWA's YouTube channel. As for me, when I see it I'll believe it.
Update 5/18: It's been retracted, probably. Always good to err on the side of caution when KADOKAWA and Suzumiya Haruhi are in the same sentence. Anyways, the episode in question will air first on the SUN TV channel early May 22nd.
Update: 5/21: Confirmed. First new episode of Haruhi since its first air turns out to be true. Now, was that so hard KADOKAWA? Man, the hype machine is strong in this one. Anyways, it's good to see that there's a continuation for Haruhi - which is most likely based off of the Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya novel. Yes, I've seen this new episode, it's authentic. Haruhi's back for a second season! Next episode occurs three four weeks from now (3rd week of June) with the episode "Endless Eight", after the Lone/Remote Island Syndrome story arc.
