The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya
http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/clubs/4/1033.jpg
Summary:
Kyon, your typical high school student, has long given up his belief in the supernatural. However, upon meeting Haruhi Suzumiya, he quickly finds out that it is the supernatural that she is interested in; aliens, time travelers and espers among other things. When Haruhi laments about the lack of intriguing clubs around school, Kyon inspires Haruhi to form her own club. As a result, the SOS Brigade is formed, a club which specializes in all that is the supernatural.
Much to his chagrin, Kyon, along with the silent bookworm, Yuki Nagato, the shy and timid Mikuru Asahina, and the perpetually smiling Itsuki Koizumi, are recruited as members. The story follows the crazy adventures that these four endure under their whimsical leader, Haruhi. The story is based on the light novels by Nagaru Tanigawa.

The Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi Movie
The story takes place from December 17 until December 24, a month after the cultural festival. (Synopsis contains slight spoilers)
On December 17, everything is normal. The SOS Brigade, led by Haruhi Suzumiya, plans to have a nabe party for Christmas. However on December 18, Kyon arrives at school to find everything has changed. Haruhi is missing, and Ryoko Asakura, who had previously been deleted by Yuki Nagato, is a normal student. Yuki is an ordinary human, and Mikuru Asahina does not recognize him. Only Kyon is aware that everything is different. The only clue is a bookmark left by the alien version of Yuki, which leads Kyon on a quest back in time, where he interacts with the storyline from "Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody", trying to sort out the mystery and return to his own time line.

SEASON TWO WHERE
seriously that's awesome if it's for real.

That would be sweet if true. More Haruhi and more FMA in the same month. :worried:

Been wondering when this would be confirmed since it's been all talk and no real action. Hopefully it will be true, there's just not enough of this show.
And then afterwards, Raki☆Suta Season 2 Please
maxime1007
02-04-2009, 04:58 AM
Nah it got confirmed, it's just kyo-ani at trolling again >.>
It's the re-airing of season 1, they probably want to increase their already insane fanbase before airing the second season -.-.
It have good chance to air in october tough.
Aidan
02-04-2009, 06:30 AM
LMAO @ /a/'s response
epic troll indeed.
personally I'm fine with the one season, it was good.
Charliehsv
02-04-2009, 07:49 AM
Yeah, that's why I refrained from saying it's really confirmed and people were already discussing if it was just a rerun or a completely new season. Especially since KyoAni has had so many projects going on lately...
Well, as maxime said a second season will probably(hopefully) air later this year ^_^
Atleast, It'll give me time to read all the novels :P
Koshka_Goddess
02-06-2009, 12:56 AM
Hmmm. April did seem odd considering that reliable info usually comes out a little earlier. Like as in FMA, reliable buzz about another anime being released in April 2009 came out sooner. But it would be nice if October saw a new season. :yorucat:
Aidan
02-06-2009, 01:06 AM
that would be cool, though you have to wonder if some of it would feel forced, in an attempt to be as successful (ie, trying to make another hare hare yukai kind of thing)
Charliehsv
02-06-2009, 06:15 AM
Nah, I kind of doubt that. The hare hare yukai is so...iconic for this show, they'll probably just keep using it instead of trying to create another theme song and trying to make that one popular.
Mhm, there's also talk around of this being a reverse-troll, that is they'll actually air a second season instead of just a rerun of the first. Damn you KyoAni for making this so...confusing :P
Aidan
02-06-2009, 06:29 AM
lol tbh that would be cool but it sounds like wishful thinking. :P
Charliehsv
02-06-2009, 06:34 AM
agreed, I won't be holding my breath for that. :P
But it's still odd that they would use images from the novels that haven't been animated yet in that TV ad if it's completely unrelated to a second season. Maybe they're going to announce it after the possible rerun or something like that.
maxime1007
02-06-2009, 07:05 AM
No way that Kyo-ani can think of something like a reverse-troll, they aren't intelligent enough to pull it off.
Charliehsv
05-21-2009, 10:24 AM
And it's back with an amazing episode that pretty much had everything which made me love the first season so much. I was completely overhyped about this, and it didn't dissapoint in the least.
Behold the power of KyoAni...

Loli Haruhi was so awesome. She hasn't changed one bit after those 3 years. :D

This is awesome I can't wait till it is subbed. Really want to much the LQ shitty Youtube version but I will restrain and then have a wonderful 20 min time.

also, young Haruhi is cute and awesome. Mikuru = moé overload.
Charliehsv
05-21-2009, 10:57 AM
Did you watch it on http://www.justin.tv/playstation2? If so, yeah, the chat was totally hilarious.
Did someone say Mikuru? (This is a real spoiler btw, don't click if you haven't seen the episode :P). I loved that scene.

They indeed aired the full Bamboo leaf not splitted in 2 as it was expected and that's good
but I really want to see The Melancholy of Mikuru though I bet they won't do it.
I'll just pray...

but hey, I'll take it if it comes.

No need to rush, even more knowing that the next episode of season 2 come in a long time.
Just wait for good sub with the best resolution possible and then go for it :).
Aidan
05-21-2009, 09:53 PM
downloaded and watched it. the subs were actually pretty good. video quality wasn't great, but that's fine. Interesting story... circular causality ftw!
Vergil
05-22-2009, 12:42 AM
Watched it and it was awesome. It is indeed real 20 min of story unlike other anime episodes. Though they made all the characters look smaller. Now waiting for HQ sub version.
Charliehsv
05-22-2009, 04:52 AM
Well, good quality subs are out now. Looks like GG/Coalguys teamed up for this. Time to rewatch. :)
From now on fridays will be labeled as KyoAni fridays! K-On! + Haruhi. Can't get much better :3
Oh and...

In the end I had to go with gg/Coal.
Someone care to provide methis thread with a fansub-comparison?
Charliehsv
05-22-2009, 12:15 PM
I went with the newest mazui subs in 720p quality. Translation is good and the video quality is far superior to the other subgroups.
I'm still waiting for the Yuki subs though, they're a bit slower, but always good quality.

05-22-2009, 10:23 PM
I heard the gg/Coalguys sub was a trollsub...
I might dl the hq mazui later... right now I'm trying to make room to dl spice & wolf, and also watching latest K-ON & Eden of the East.

so it's real??
seiftis
05-23-2009, 10:16 PM
I've read all novels, but it's been years since they're first translated (with my weak memory), so all air-dates speculation cant be confirmed >__>;
'Disappearance' at 12 looks too early though?
Charliehsv
05-24-2009, 05:20 AM
Yeah, that's true, it does seem to be a bit already. Doesn't the dissapearance happen around december?
I just read The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya and it was stated by Kyon in the beginning that it's half a year after the formation of the SOSdan. Since the japanese schoolterm starts sometime in April the events of the Sigh happen around fall - I think it was even stated by Kyon when they threw Mikuru into the water.
TL;DR Having the Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya after the Vanishment makes no real sense, so that list is probably a fake? I'll stick with the one in the first post then.
seiftis
05-24-2009, 06:47 AM
Disappearance does indeed occur on December.
Gah... I don't feel like checking all the novels again >_>
Disappearance and Snow Mt. Syndrome are the two I await most~
Charliehsv
05-24-2009, 08:11 AM
Everyone keeps saying how good the Dissapearance is...I can't wait to read it, really hyped out that volume right now. :o

05-24-2009, 09:49 AM
Ya I didnt read the novels becuase I wanna be surprised ^^. I thought the new episode was pretty good. Though with K-ON airing I think they should have waited until that was over. Where all hooked on the cute Mio chan right now! lol
Vergil
05-24-2009, 10:10 AM
Yep, Haruhi with ponytails will be so cute :)
seiftis
05-24-2009, 12:39 PM
Everyone keeps saying how good the Dissapearance is...I can't wait to read it, really hyped out that volume right now. :o
It's just one of the volume where Nagato-sama has more roles on. I'm so tempted to drop spoilers here So for me and other Nagato-sama worshippers, banzai~
IIRC, it drops more hint of Nagato x Kyon hahah
Charliehsv
05-24-2009, 02:06 PM
Yay, more Nagato is always good although I'll always prefer Haruhi XD.
Oh, I've heard about that. I'm not really a fan of NagatoxKyon but I'm really curious as to how everything plays out. I guess I'll start to read the 3rd novel tonight.
Also - a.f.k have released their subs of the most recent episode. Too bad that it's in .avi.
seiftis
05-24-2009, 05:57 PM
Is it any different if I throw a.f.k's season 1 version (the unchronological order) to fit this so-called S2? In the end, just re-arrange the episode numbers. None, right? Because I wouldn't want to go with the trouble to download the same story all over again -__-
Aidan
05-24-2009, 11:23 PM
damn it, I downloaded the .rar of all the translated books, but I think I lost it when I switched OSs.

@Seiftis: It shouldn't make any difference yeah. Although I'm replacing the old a.f.k subs with HQ subs of the reairings.
@Aidan: You can just read them on baka-tsuki if you don't want to re-dl them.

05-25-2009, 09:33 PM
Just saw episode 1, it was really excellent. I'm fond of these time traveling episode.
I'll probably read the novel as well one day :). Tough nothing would beat having it in my hand cause I'm not a big fan of reading a book on my comp =/.

Why didn't you like the last one?
Charliehsv
05-26-2009, 02:42 PM
Dattebayo subs suck though. Nothing to look foward to from their side...
I wonder how The Sigh Of Haruhi Suzumiya will be handled, considering some of it already got animated with The Adventures of Asahina Mikuru.

xTHHxAimiForevr
05-28-2009, 12:43 PM
It's crazy because I watched all of the anime first then went to the manga (which isn't like me at all) and wasn't all that into it...
seiftis
05-28-2009, 03:18 PM
Dattebayo subs suck though. Nothing to look foward to from their side...
But DB teamed up with Live-Evil right? Or have they cancelled the join?
I'm only wondering which part of the sub that the DB guys handled.
Charliehsv
05-28-2009, 04:06 PM
They've joined up afaik. To be honest I've never watched anything by L-E so I can't comment on their quality.
I don't really know which parts DB does, but I get annoyed by DB's usual localization in the subs. In this case there were also some dodgy translations and they just generally lack Haruhi-knowledge. Blergh.
Anyway, I updated the first post with the subgroups I'd recommend.
Aidan
05-29-2009, 04:20 AM
I personally thought the Mazui subs were fine.
seiftis
05-29-2009, 07:38 AM
L-E is a vet in subbing, and I trust the quality in their work. The only problem is DB (if they do translations/editing). I'll be watching their release again this time, and hopefully able to catch who works on what.
BTW on the 1st page, shouldn't "Snow Mountain Syndrome" be labelled as "new"? Because
It's where they get trapped in the resort/mansion in the snow and Nagato-sama can't do anything about it. Obviously has not been aired IIRC.
Charliehsv
05-29-2009, 02:31 PM
Hm, I'll probably stick to a.f.k(or mazui if they are faster, their subs were pretty good too) and use the Yuki release for achiving purposes,
True that, fixed it now.
maxime1007
05-29-2009, 03:08 PM
To be honest imo I think that the first episode of Haruhi 2 was the best episode of the Haruhi franchise.
Charliehsv
05-31-2009, 11:21 AM
The best episode so far is imo still Live A Live. Arguably the best school festival and music scene in an anime, ever.
maxime1007
05-31-2009, 11:40 AM

A grea slice of life episode and Seeing Haruhi, Yuki and Mikuru in their yukatas was <3.
I lol'd hard at Yuki holding the gun the wrong way :D
As for the episode order...according to the only broadcasting order which has been correct so far, it's the Sigh next week...but the endless 8 plot hasn't even been completed yet? >_>

So, I'm glad that they continued the endless eight story and didn't just leave it at a simple slice of life episode.
Anyway, the episode was great, and the second half was really intense. Also it was interesting to see the loop again, now with small differences.
Hmm...this kind of renders the previous airing oder useless though. Going to update it somehow.

Haruhi proudly displaying 69. Looks like they're fitting in some suggestive innuendos. Love the new intro. Episode wasn't as "weird" (in a good way) as the 1st but was still nice to see everybody hang out like they use to.
Charliehsv

Hahahahahahahaha, I can't wait to see the reactions of people to this episode.
Man, they have balls for pulling this off like they do, respect for that.
But well, that's SHnY for you. :3
Kyon's "EXCELLENT" was hilarious, and lol at Yuki wearing the mask this time.
Also, Mikuru calling Kyon always cracks me up XD.

07-10-2009, 07:15 AM
I'm nerd-raging as well. It's 4 eps now of Endless Eight? Could it be that KyoAni is trolling to have eight eps for Endless Eight? =__=;;
The nerd-rage is there since too much of Endless Eight = makes other eps shorter. I want my Disappearance eps NAO. And Snow Mountain Syndrome too.
@mani
Yes, currently it's the 2nd season (though you might be confused with episode numbering since it's technically season 1 + season 2).
Charliehsv
07-10-2009, 07:51 AM
They're probably stretching it since if they animate to much they won't have enough material left for a third season once the 10th novel is out.
I wonder if they're going to leave out The Sigh. I mean, bits of it have already been animated with The Adventures of Asahina Mikuru.

They're probably stretching it since if they animate to much they won't have enough material left for a third season once the 10th novel is out.
10th novel? You're an optimistic one. :amazed:
I gave up waiting and talking about it. Too long to wait for one last volume!
Maybe they'll leave out the cat thing?

It's been what? 3 years? I've waited longer for some books, it'll come eventually. :P
Ah yeah, but that would suck. I kind of look forward to Shamisen. And a drunk Asahina! But oh well, considering that they didn't show how the SOS-dan got drunk during the Mysteriosu Island Syndrome, I guess that we'll never get to see that. :/

Just watched episode 5 and I'll copy paste a post I did on MAL who summary what I think of Haruhi 2 yet.
Frankly I can't wait for this arc to finish or at least move forward.
At least they are redrawing some scene everytime otherwise I would bore myself to death watching it and the fact that 90% of the line are reused don't help.
The first episode of the arc was good, the second where they realise that they are redoing the same thing over and over was good as well, the third and fourth episode were crap. I'm not against repeating the same period a lot of time but I could not care less about timeframe where they don't get anywhere, not getting any new information about how to solve the problem or are at least not trying to do anything to solve it.
Yuki said it has been over ten thousand of time, I understand that it isn't fucking moving, they don't need to waste 2 episode who could be employed for something much greater to show it again and again.
I raise my fail flag, at least until it improve. When I see people calling that genius I just can't help to think how the fuck is that genius, the concept of a human influencing the whole space and time uncounsiously or not is not even new. (Which is what blowmind some hard-fan)
Haruhi is good, no doubt about it, I'll probably like this arc after it finish but god they aren't helping us liking it for now.
God even the first episode is real great, why the fuck must they do useless episode.

Well, I watched episode 2 a couple of weeks ago and then didn't have time to watch for a while, and now I return to find that, aside from the characters figuring out that they are stuck in an infinite time loop, the story hasn't progressed at all in my absence....lol
I don't really know what to say, except that if the title "Endless-Eight" can really be taken as an implication that there will be eight episodes just like this, the producers are really pushing their luck with the viewers. I probably wouldn't even be watching if I didn't like Haruhi so much, and wasn't expecting something awesome to happen to finally break the loop in the end. Oh well, I guess this is a way of building up anticipation, but watching the same events over and over is really starting to get a bit tedious. One or two repeats would have been quite sufficient to carry the point across...:neutral:
Charliehsv
07-18-2009, 05:55 AM
There's rumors that this is going to be a 42 episode run, so if that's the case I really don't mind that they've used so many episodes for E8, since I actually still enjoy them (the last episode was along with the second E8 easily the best of the current arc). I'm only worried that they might skip other parts of the novels which I wanted to see animated because of the lenght of E8.
But if the rumor about a longer airing proves to be true then everything's fine for me.
judgment26
07-18-2009, 08:23 AM
Really now? Interesting...is it normal for a second season to be longer than the first?
p.s. Perhaps Kyon should take Koizumi's advice, embrace Haruhi from behind and say "I love you." That would probably end the loop, given Haruhi's affinity for the extraordinary.xD

07-18-2009, 09:35 AM
yeah i hope he does. i heard a rumor that the endless eight was going to be six episodes. hope its true.
Charliehsv
07-18-2009, 09:42 AM
Yeah, it's kind of unsual for a second season to be longer than the first, but there are some cases like Aria for example. Also considering Haruhi's popularity and the amount of material which still hasn't been animated makes it very possible that the second season can be longer than the first. Or in this case it's not even a new season really...
I just hope that the rumor is true in any case. xD

I heard it will loop until episode 7, 8 and 9 being the conclusion of endless eight. Tough I wouldn't be surprised if Kyoani decide to troll and extend the endless eight arc on the whole damn season.
Haruhi 2 is fail minus the first episode.
Like a dude once said:
KyoAni is doing this to prove a point. They know that even if they shit all over the floor, their fans will gladly eat it up as if it were a delicious steak. They don't even have to fucking try with Haruhi Season 2, they know it will sell DVDs and merchandise.

What's even crazier is they are still releasing all the dvds in their standed 2 episode a disc for the full price and they are even giving all the volumes the same name.

It is also a repetition but it is the last since Kyon actually does something at the end.
I tough that the ending would be great and that it would conpensating for the rest of the season but no, the ending wasn't that great. Plainly it sucked next to my expectation. A 4 minute ending for 8 episode of trolling ...

Amazing movie, it was a perfect adaptation of the novel . In fact, I feel like I like the movie is better than the novel because some scenes were just amazingly well done, and felt more intense than the novel counterparts.
The production values are of course top-notch, this being a KyoAni production and all.
Also, as expected, Yuki moe overload. And long haired Haruhi キタ━━━━(゚∀゚)━━━━!!!!

Even looking at the trailer, the animation is godly and the backgrounds look like Shinkai.
As for my input of the plot, I'd have to say that this part of Haruhi is probably one of, if not the best, part of the series up to this part. I don't remember much about it, except that it was awesome. I don't want to remember either so it'll be so much more satisfying.
Can't wait for the DVDs to come out already T_T.
