It seems that Haruhi, for some reason, doesn't want summer to end - she has SOMETHING she still wants to do - so, inadventently, her powers cause time to continue to cycle until some factor is changed. And the characters can't seem to figure out what she wants.
However, it's not just a lazy rerun of the same material. The producers are actually re-animating and re-dubbing the whole thing, over and over, with subtle differences in details, angles, outfits, etc. Fans can't understand why they're putting so much effort in something that is being received so negatively, and wasting precious episodes of the second season. Some have dropped the show completely. They say it's "epic troll." Others say it's pure innovative genius.
I would have to say it was genius, but that's just me...
BTW, would love a third season, though the movie was a great continuation of the second season!
