I know the second series of Kanon comes out on New Year's Day. I saw all 24 episodes subbed and will watch it dubbed. Despite it's based on an H-Game, it's emotionally powerful as well. I cried a few times. I love this anime. The reason why Yuuichi, our hero, looks like Haruhi Suzumiya's Kyon is because of the following:
both were made by Kyoto Animation
both were voiced by the same actor
I personally think Chris Patton will do a very good job as Yuuichi.
