i downloaded a bunch of episodes. i only watched the first 2 and i gave up. i dont know...i guess it's not my kinda anime. :eagletear:

Right, because the premise of the whole show can be summed up in two episodes...

This show is NOT for the impatient who expect to see the whole concept within two episodes. Infact, alot of good anime operate on watching at least several episodes before people can make a good judgement.

This show should be seen as a full package, not just watch the first 2 and go "is this it?"

Especially considering the first Broadcast Episode.

Also, For those who might care, here's a .mkv of the Full Dance Version of the ED: Download

For those who haven't seen this greatness.

That was f-ing hilarious! Thank you! Now I want the midi of that song.

Now that we've reached June, The first US vol came out already so now I need to know if its worth getting so I can wipe the episodes off my hdd. According to ANN , my predictions were right on the mark when I thought that Wendee Lee would work on Haruhi's voice. Im not sure how that job went but I assume Crispin Freeman did a great job as Kyon cause he's Crispin Freeman ;p.

I could stand most of the voices. Johnny Yong Bosch as Koizumi, I liked. I didn't like Mikuru's/Yuki's NA VAs as much. To me, Mikuru comes off more as whiny instead of cute. Yuki has a somewhat more direct voice, or maybe it's just me, since these voices would be perfect to others.
I'm glad the OP and ED were unaltered.

I think I'll end up buying the box set... because I doubt they're JUST selling the DVDs without all of the extras. Plus I'm tired of watching this it on my laptop..it's making everything slower. I've gotten used to watching the episodes in Japanese...so hearing everything in English would be weird... but I've wanted to listen to the dub

Season 2 is practically announced, official announcement ont he 7th of July on the official site.

Konata ecstatic that Haruhi has a season two (and maybe Aya Hirano too as she is able to reprise the role that made her a household name)!!



I can't wait!



:beer:

first the school rumble ova news and now this.
Its great to hear that the series will continue I just hope they don't mix the episodes like last time. It was good for a twist but so confusing

Uh, Haruhi season 2 was announced for this summer season a long ass time ago, people.

What's the surprise?

Was there really an official announcement all the way back then, or did people just assume there would be a second season because... why not?

Yeah I think the second season thing was assumed before but confirmed now.

I ended up buying the first volume. I found Mikuru's dubbed voice bearable but it didn't have to be that high pitched. It's higher than the Japanese version, so I tend to just watch the whole volume in Japanese.

There were assumptions, but KyonAni didn't say or announced anything until the recent scans.

07/07/07 will be the official announcement. I hope theres some sort of trailer.

The fact that they showed a "newspaper scan" of that certain event is probably giving us a clue as to which volume is being adapated as the main story arc as well. (Psss, its the "Disappearance" one)

Almost all the novels(Cept the recent vol 9) are translated into English here:

I'm kind'a confused about the date on the newspaper though....

:confused:

The internet will explode with Haruhism in less than an hour...

EDIT:NewType official site HAD a video relating to Haruhi 2, which depicts a scene from Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody. The video was just taken down,and we speculate it will be on the shows official site soon, but so far, the site isn't loading...

NOOOOOOOO!!!!

The site isn't loading....... :(

Must be tons of people trying to access it now..... :><:

It's Tanabata now..............



:(

The annoucement video can also be found here. Remember this is a scene from Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody shot in LIVE ACTION. If you wanna know whats going on, go read that through the translation link I gave before. If you don't wanna be spoiled, well, just take note that the video lasts for 22 mins like an anime episode. Since the events take place Tanabata festival in Japan, which the date for it is 7/7, it makes sense to make the annoucement on that day. It also hints that they will be adapting "Dissapearance" as the main arc, since Bamboo short story is directly influences events in that book.

Kyoani is thinking outside of the box for this marketting, and I think its admirable.Though there is the fear or alienating people who haven't read the books/translations.

Heres the torrent for the PV:

Hey, just saw this message under Nagato Yuki's profile page on the SOS Dan website. Anybody know what it means?

http://www.haruhi.tv/02order/5.html

Something to do with the 4th novel as well?


:beer:

There has been speculations that there 'might' be Haruhi Live Action in plan (from 2ch). It was some how hinted after the announcement of Negima Live Action by Star Child... I am still looking for the transcription of that interview, so not sure if thats true or not.

But if it is, then I am looking forward to it :)

The 070707 event got the whole Haruhi fanbase excited, also here in Osaka, you can see posters of Haruhi 2nd wave almost everywhere >_< (Especially in the trains)

Thanks for the download.


I didn't know there was going to be a season 2. This is excellant news.

Random images from the live concert the Haruhi cast did a few months ago:

The whole cast here. Key point is: KYON'S SISTER IS TALL.

Oh Minoru, the things you'll do for your craft.

I bet Kyon's (tall) sister would still look cute in a bag. =)
