This thread is for discussion of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, easily the best show of the season, if not the year!

Bah, I've been wanting to do that since around ep 4. I expect there's some subtle bonus details that rely on continuity.
This thread will now slowly segue into waiting for a second season. Post any rumours you hear in here!
Remembering the stuff you already watched is the same thing. And 13+14 can't possibly go anywhere but the end.
>>102
The director said he will do "Banboo Leaf Rhapsody" and "Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya" if there will be a next season.
Interview with Hirano Aya.

After hearing her normal voice. -> o_O
She HAS to do a duet with Haruko Momoi! XD
Has she voiced any other characters?
I just decided to check out what kind of attention Haruhi is getting on 2channel.
The Haruhi thread was at part 506.
orz
Any plans for a "Signs of Haruhi Suzumiya anime?"
They never did introduce that cat from the first episode. What a tease...
Yep the show should be considered as a commercial film for the original novels. You can't fully understand the story without reading them. Especially "Someday in the Rain" episode.
And yet, the show was perfectly awesome by itself.
sa shi su se so!!!!

There's something about the interview video that I didn't notice at first but surprised me when I did.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=z1Vc7bjCojo
If you skip to the part where she comes out, there's a shot of the audience. It's almost entirely female! When a guest on these shows has a big otaku following like Morning Musume, the audience is primarily male.

>120
The guy who perticipated to the show reported that the TV crew guided female audiences to the front and drive male otaku to backward.
>>122
racism :(
I think you're right. there definately is a lot of guys in the back
>>123
Men and women are seperate races now?
>>125
Can't take a joke.
The noble race of otaku.
I'd eat Nagato too. Though not in the way that commercial is promoting.

Hi I'm from Akihabara now.
Haruhi's seiyuu team is going to record a radio program in front of a live audience today, and massive amount of otaku are rushing to the recording site. The head-count is approximately 1400 for now and still increasing.. No surprises Akihabara is in a panic with satanically long procession. What a crazy scenery... I wish I have a camera lol.
>>130
OH SHI-
Get a cheap disposable camera! How many people usually go to these live radio events? Let us know if it makes the TV news reports.
That's INSANE.XD Wish I were there. Tell us how it goes 130!^_^
>>132
Check the link, it mimics Evangelion episode titles.

If I got the yuki one, i'd fap
If they were leet...
... theu would of done a SOS団 sign virus instead.
Having watched the a.f.k. fansub of the whole 14-part series, I'm a little conflicted as to whether I'd like to see another season. Certainly anything of this quality would deserve a continuation, yet I imagine I'd be quite content closing the book and putting it back to its place on the shelf. After all, with indefinitely many seasons after the first it only turns into a waiting game to see how long it takes for yet another furiously good thing to turn into suck.
Them metaphysical themes though? Win!
>>130
Nationality sense... tingling! There's only one language area where "satanically" is used in that way. [salainenkädenpuristus]
It already has been continued - remember, it's based on a book series, and the anime only covers the first two out of... five? Six? Something like that.
>>143
remind them all you like, people will still bitch about plotholes while mistakenly calling this an "ecchi harem comedy"
>>144
To hell with that, it's a dancing anime.
>>143
Sure. That doesn't guarantee nonsuckitude of future seasons though, if there are going to be any -- we all surely know how many ways there are to fuck up a good thing. This is not to say that I wouldn't totally geek out on the second season were it produced and fansubbed as well as the first.
Really, my point was that the first season was plenty complete by itself, regardless of where the manga (which I've completely ignored) goes. It had a beginning, an end and a bunch of non-arc episodes. Maybe I'm just conflicted here given the expectations that the first season would put on a second.
Not a manga, a light novel series. And remember, the climax of the first anime season happens right in the middle, chronologically - the pacing of the books work out that way.
Newsweek International Article on youtube mentions Haruhi parodies. :3

>>144 calling this an "ecchi harem comedy"
It is though, so it makes sense.
Why did Nagato shoved Mikuru's head on the ground in their indie film? Threatened by the Mikuru Beam?
>>152 Yeah. Nagato put her down and removed the threat (some high-tech contact lens? Mikuru was crying from one eye elsewhere).
This is what I gathered from posts from people who claimed to have read the novels.
>>144
an ecchi harem comedy with a complicated (and sort of irrelevant, from the way it ended up) sci-fi premise. it spends far more time with the moemoe stuff than the sci-fi stuff, though, so i would say that's the dominant genre.
People idolize over Haruhi Suzymiya because she acts like a guy. You ever wish you could have a girl as a friend, just to hang out with like one of the guys? A girl that would have the same interests as you, the same enthusiasm, the same keen observations and sense of adventure? How about a girlfriend that you could just hang out with, have fun with, and not have to listen to her whine and complain and leak. Haruhi Suzymiya is that ideal "hang out with" girl. She has fans because she has all the best traits of a guy friend you can hang out with, only she happens to be a girl. Understand that when people idolize over Haruhi Suzymiya, they idolize over the personality of a cool guy friend in a girl's body- an ideal friend/partner who has the best of both worlds, and would be nearly impossible to find.
>>154
Yeah, well, what do you expect from a most-definitely-seinen light novel. "Light novel", as in what the Japanese call their pulps.
"Moonphase reports and we forget to translate the part that says it's an unconfirmed rumor"
WTF I say.....
The SOS-dan site has been replaced with that http://asosbrigade.com/
site...
What does this bode?
It says the world will end on the 22nd... I guess I'll go back tomorrow ~
They just copied the HTML without fixing it to work right (the counter is broken). They're just playing along.
>>165
The couter seems to be on the same server.
i very much enjoyed this anime, just overall great entertainment.
North Korea thinks that I sell a nuclear weapon to Islam radical group from lack of funds at last
Ok guys, i don't want to be mean/troll/etc.. but i started watching this show because i read it was awesome, large threads dedicated to it, etc.. and i thought to myself that i musn't miss this show..
The point is that so far i haven't watched the series completely (episode 11 so far), and while it's enjoyable i don't find it that it's super awesome/masterpiece/etc like some people said it was, ok the series is very good animated all around, has good effects, and has had really good episodes, but the MASTERPIECE i was hoping to watch isn't there. I'm kinda dissapointed :(... or do i need to watch it completely, or am i being too elitist?
PS: I'm getting it on http://anime.etherchan.org/dl/?dir=The_Melancholy_of_Haruhi_Suzumiya
>>170
It's a good series, should one be able to shut themselves in a soundproof box beyond reach of the insane and ubiquitous overhype.
http://asosbrigade.com/
It's been licensed by Bandai. It seems like they "get" the spirit of the show, but I can't decide if the video on the site is made of win or fail.

A Yuki voice poll is out. I went for the third one. The others don't have the right feeling of detached calm.
Why does Nagato Yuki use SQL to interface with the universe?
>>175
it scales well?
Good one!
>>176
lol
Well THMS is going to be released on DVD March 29th. I can't wait!! There will be also a special edition box. It will allow you to place all of your THMS dvds inside.
Finally I have made a name ^^;
Nobody cares what your name is or who you are.
Sage for viral marketing
sorry I did not know what I did wrong but sorry
Who's going to Fanime? Apparently, they're going to have some Haruhi stuff going on...
I can't wait until the 29th.
THe LE box has some amazing stuff... I really think they outdid themselves for this release =D
OMG. fangirl squeal
Haruhi (Aya Hirano), Mikuru (Yuko Goto), and Yuki (Chihara Minori) are coming to Anime Expo 2007 in Long Beach, California, USA.
I am going to cry with happiness (because I get to go see them).
I am so cosplaying as Yuki Nagato for the concert =D
...Words cannot describe the loud screech of happiness I let out when I saw the announcement on ANN.
Someone had better film that for those of us whose expos usually attract Crispin Freeman instead of any worthwhile guests.
www.anime-expo.org might post a video after the con taken by the official staff, but I'm pretty sure filming and recording isn't allowed unless you're the press or something.
Of course, some fan somewhere will sneak a camera in and post it on YouTube I'm sure =P
They're dancing the Hare Hare Yukai dance at the concert =D
I hope the audience all stands up and dances in place... I really want to dance the HHY XD
Today the official "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" DVD LE and Regular Edition Vol. 1 releases in the USA.
Mine should come in either today or tomorrow (I paid 11.00 for one-day shipping =D)
Let the Haruhiism spread =D
You guys sure are getting hyped for this stuff!
I'm not worried about that right now.
No, what concerns me is that I wasn't able to buy Rozen Maiden vol.1 at ACen.
NOT AS PLANNED. DX
Man, it's been a year now, why hasn't the hare hare yukai fad washed over yet?
Shouldn't you guys be practicing your 汗（Fuu）々（Fuu）の谷間にDarlin' darlin' FREEZE! by now?
A man's allowed to have two or more dances in his repertoire.
Well I posted this on my own thread but it got closed down... For some reason... New Season of Haruhi starts tomorrow!!! Who else is excited?!
Ahhh... Well.
SOS Concert was a disaster. Singing was awesome, but whoever wrote the script for the bits in between the singing didn't do a very good job. Read pretty much any Anime Expo forum topic on the SOS Brigade concert. Concert also started about 2:30 hours late (I was there 1 hour early, 3:30 hours in the sun o_o). They were still filing people in when it started. Techinical difficulties ran rampant.
...The worst thing though?
The timing between what the singer hears and is singing to, and what the audience hears wasn't exact. It was especially obvious when Aya Hirano sings, because she's got such a strong voice. Everyone was singing just a bit slower than what we were hearing, and it drove me nuts.
And everyone in the balcony section (well, my section at least) was a total party pooper, and they just kinda stared at me while I did the Hare Hare Yukai dance. Come on, the freaking translator invited us all to stand and dance >_<
...The autograph session for the SOS. HOO BOY. I waited 7+ hours for nothing. First, AX canceled the session the first day, at about 10:30 AM. 3 hours wasted. Then, AX announced 15 MINUTES AFTER the signing was supposed to start that the SOS Brigade would only be signing posters, and then only 100 of them. Needless to say, I wasn't in the 100. Another 4 hours wasted.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8orMfTGvvns
This video was taken at the line... I'm kinda down in the corner by the person with the red shirt on.
Yeah. If you read pretty much any AX forum topic (especially comments and suggestions) you'll know AX kinda sucked compared to last year.
----------------
Okay. Well, now to get that fangirl drive back. Tomorrow's the second season of Haruhi <3
Can't wait =3
Wait a minute.. Are you sure they're not just gonna announce the date of Season 2 tomorrow/(time difference)today? You'd think they wouldn't start airing the sequel to an immensely popular show like that without at least deploying a trailer. I can hardly find any publicity about it at all on google.
O damn!!! U are right! I just re read it! :(( Un-fair! lol. I had a feeling there was something up with that! >:P It does say that the new season will be announced tomorrow. :/ Here is the report. -Second Haruhi Season to be Announced
Posters on the Japanese 2ch board report that the August issue (officially on sale July 10) of Japan's Newtype magazine has revealed the second season of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. The reported coverage of the magazine indicates that the science fiction comedy anime's continuation will be announced on July 7 (07/07/07). Source: Ultimatum-
Site will be updated 9pm japan time.
