[Anime] The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

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.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

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?"

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

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 was speaking idiomatically.

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.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

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

FELIPE NO

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

That's fucking awesome! Thanks for the link, Kairi. It's gonna be a great time when this airs, coz already it looks like it'll be great!! The newspaper article alone has me going all giddy:


Supposedly, that is....

Spoiler:

.....3 years previous to the setting of season 1. Kyon hears from Kunikida that there was an incident while Haruhi was still in Junior High, where she made some strange symbols on the field as a message to aliens. Actually it was revealed in the light novels that.......














(close this spoiler if you don't want to be spoiled!!)











..........it was revealed that someone helped her make the symbols (or she stood on the side and made that someone do all the work). Yup, that guy helping her is Kyon, who time travelled with Mikuru Asahina 3 years into their past.

Heh, I really want to see this story animated!!



And this image made me LOL:


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!





Jam it back in, in the dark.

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

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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

What's the surprise?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

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?

How ya doing, buddy?

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

I was speaking idiomatically.

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:

How ya doing, buddy?

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

Spoiler:

...isn't that date supposed to be 2006 instead of 2007? I read somewhere that due to something Kyon says in the anime (some comment about Haruhi's hairstyle after Goldenweek and it being a certain day) it was established that the anime takes place in 2009 - so the "event" which happened 3 years before was supposed to have happened in 2006, right? Or am I totally confusing this with something else?

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

http://www.haruhi.tv/

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...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

NOOOOOOOO!!!!

The site isn't loading.......

Must be tons of people trying to access it now.....

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





There's nowhere I can't reach.

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?




I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

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.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

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.

FELIPE NO

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