My list of reasons of why the video linked is very freaking wrong.

1) He states that people said that HOTD would return in April 2013, but then says it turned out to be an April Fools Day prank. False, while I will give him credit for actually saying later in the video the April release was in fact the Manga, not the Anime. It was no April Fools Day Prank, rabid fans took the info about the Manga returning and though it meant Season two was coming out. They were wrong.

2) He states that HOTD returns Spring 2013 and the video was posted on August 19, 2013. So I'm assuming he is under the impression that Japan experiences Spring when people from the USA and UK experience Autumn (the Fall). Geography lesson for those who missed this in school.

Japan is in the Northern Hemisphere like most countries of the world, this means that much like most 1st world countries Japan experiences Spring from roughly March to May. Depending on months during that time span you consider Spring.

Like I said I'm assuming he is under that impression, though he could be in the Southern Hemisphere of the world, and that's just when he experiences Spring.

3) He references the bands around the Full Color Editions of Volumes 5 and 6. And shows a picture saying "HOTD returns Spring 2013," once again this was for the Manga return in April of last year.

4) His explanation on the Manga hiatus. While I will throw him a bone on this one because Daisuke Sato is one tough mother f*cker to get any info on. It doesn't excuse him to get info wrong that's been around for 2 years prior to his video being released.

5) The line "With enough manga to make five new season of HOTD" I personally lost it. He obviously never has read the manga, as Season One covers Chapters 1-17 (excluding Chapter 13). So that's 16 chapters used in one season. There are currently 30 chapters out right now, so the the remaining 13 chapters have not been used in any form of anime adaptation, so no there isn't enough material for even a single new season.

6) This is just more of a person thing, but the title of the video itself and he says that he would post a link in the description of the video of where he found the info (he didn't). As for the title, he put "HOTD Season 2 Confirmed September 2014!?" Keep in mind this video was posted in August of 2013. I can't think of a single thing that has had a release date one year prior to it's release and not be fan speculation. Even video games don't do that.
