It all depends on the fans. If the merchandise and DVDs sell well enough for KyoAni to make a good profit, then they will probably make a third season... Same goes with the movie. Hehe, also for anime that comes close to The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya; that's a very unique anime with one wacky storyline, so finding an anime that pretty close to that will be extremely hard. But, if you like the School Life/Super-natural aspect of anime (like I do), then you'd enjoy Angel Beats. The main character will remind you of Haruhi, and the story takes place in a School, in the "After-Life". If you want to read the plot, go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_Beats!. But, be warned, don't read too far into the wikipedia article, as it contains spoilers. Only read the first paragraph of the section labeled "Plot". In addition, this anime was created this year, so the animations and artwork are top-notch. Have fun!
