What's the consensus on The Theater of Haruhi Suzumiya?I haven't seen much people talking about it.It would be interesting to see what the Japanese said about it.
>>287056463you know you can just type the name of the book in japanese on twitter and search it by yourself right
>>287057904I was honestly thinking more of a hypothetical version of Goodreads for Japanese audiences.But I don't know why I didn't think of Amazon.https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B0DNDN4HC7/
Was Mikuru actually attracted to Kyon? iirc Nyoro seem to have some affection in the volumes with the sliders
>>287058598>Was Mikuru actually attracted to Kyon?Good question.

Still haven't caught up with it because I suck but I swear I will
>>287056463>consensuscoward
>>287058598Yeah duhDo people still think mikuru is faking because of what koizumi said in like the first half of the first volume
Let it go anon. These times are never coming back
>>287062526What are you talking about retard? This is a new book anon is trying to discuss. For some reason anyone bringing up Haruhi in any shape or form in this board has a few retards going in and bringing up nostalgia and the anime being 20 years old like that's the point.
>>287062576I don't think they have any point.
Does this ln series even have an ending or is it just limbo haruhi adventures?
>>287063781The endgame is college Haruhi + Mikuru graduation and implied romantic relationship. Haruhi shenanigans persist -for good reason- but the passage of time and reflections on it are part of this. There's some emphasis put on the fact it's not "3 years ago" anymore but 4.
>>287063826>Haruhi + Mikuru graduation and implied romantic relationship
>>287063826So why can't this guy just write the college section instead of this.
>>287063906College is basically post story and has vastly different implications than the canvas the usual Haruhi stuff provides. I'm somewhat interested in seeing the college part developed but only as the ending of the series.
>>287063945>but only as the ending of the seriesYeah which still hasn't even happened
>>287063826>college Haruhi + Mikuru graduation and implied romantic relationshipDude, please don't be delusional.For starters, Mikuru is the princess Kaguya.>>287063906Haruhi quite literally can't work in a college setting.
>>287063906There is no "college section," Haruhi's got over herself by then and isn't a chuuni just a normie with a supportive sarcastic bf with no name>>287062576It's not really a "new book" it's just a bunch of shorts published over the years compiled together, it's pretty fun but it doesn't even provide the Tsuruya Corporation intrigue of the last one, just hijinks that would have been season 1 filler
>>287063990Kyon is a tsundere and won't tell you that seeing his bright college future with his cute girlfriend Haruhi was a satisfying conclusion to him.
>>287064014I sometimes hate kyon just gimme his thoughts on the future life mf
>>287063990Yeah, your point?>>287063991I meant romantic relationship with Kyon obviously.>>287063995It's quite literally a college section. Haruhi being chill is something that happened much earlier than this part (Surprise 2, so 11th book). It happened in Intrigues (book 7), or arguably even earlier.And it is a new book, there's more new content than in any of the previous novels (discounting Surprise 2 maybe?)
>>287064047Sooo, when are we getting that book
>>287064104Who knows?
>>287064041Why would he, KyoAni moved on and started animating their own licensed LNs and the director got Fire Forced and the new generation doesn't know the Hare Hare Yukai, they tanked the anime's reputation to make Endless Eight a Violet Evergarden training camp, the author wouldn't get 2007 dopamine he'd just warm the hearts of a bunch of chopped uncs
Is this series even alive anymore, that's what i don't understand, supossedly author is working on this ending but i see no evidence of it.
>>287064047Sorry for my null reading comprehensiom.
>>287064190Yes it's quite alive. Tons of promotional shit going on and we're two new novels back in terms of new content. Sold well too. We're probably getting one soon enough when they announce something else.
>>287064190The author ran out of unserialised stories.There's another one set in the Disappearance act IIRC, that's not a Haruhi story, tho, and thus it's harder to compile into a volume.I don't think he'll ever end it. It makes too much money, and he clearly lost the passion he had in the early years of the series (there were 3 books in the first year alone.)
>>287064362That's a load of bs. There's two novels worth of *new* stories, not including the compiled old ones. You seem pretty biased.
>>287064398I'll belive it when i see it, haruhi just feels like a weird semi abandoned ip for now that occasionally gets small stories for some reason.
>>287064398>There's two novels worth of *new* storiesAnon, there were only two light novel volumes since 2011 (literally 15 years ago).Both of them had plenty of old serialised stories.To call them two novels full of new content is... an interesting PoV.
>9 novels in 4 years>2 novels in 6 yearsThey're the same picture.
>>287064461These two novels each have more new content (pages), NOT counting compiled short stories, than most of the novels that came before that.There's no denying that Tanigawa's 10 year long writing block was sad, but that doesn't negate the nice things we had recently and it's also a much better deal to have sparse content than bad content. We don't NEED 20 Haruhi novels, although I wouldn't mind if we had it, but we do need to avoid shit Haruhi novels and we did. You're obviously biased and maybe have something you want to prove so I don't care to engage with your dishonest baiting anymore.
This author is so lazy wtf
like what do you mean this shit dosen't have an ending yet, it's a high school light novel, it's been 20 years the hell
>>287064461He's right. Tsuruya's Challenge is longer than Sigh, for example.
What's with the low effort samefagging? Now we have an autistic anon with a hateboner for Haruhi?
Its fucking dogshit
>>287064536>We don't NEED 20 Haruhi novelsI didn't ask for that, either. I just want an ending. Something I don't think he'll ever deliver while it's still profitable.
>>287064587You're talking with a schizo samefag that pronably hasn't read any of these novels. That's why he can only try to criticize the author's writing block and not attempt any kind of legitimate discussion.
No wonder there's not a season 3 who wants to work on an unifished story
When are we getting thread IDs?
>>287064587>>287064513And the new material in The Theater surely is equivalent to 8 light novel volumes.
Why would one guy get triggered so bad by some light novel anyway?
When are haruhi and kyon having a child, serious question
>>287064723In 69,67 years, trust the plan.
>>287064723that nigga kyon wouldn't even be able to get it up
>>287064698My wife btw.
>>287064765Bro didn't he kiss her, he can do itI believe in kyon
>>287064788
>>287064794In a dream, in the first volume. After that, 11/12 volumes of playing dumb about it, even tho both know it happened.
>>287064869Yeah but he still did it, he has that energy in him
I still love Yuki
>>287064794Forget about the kiss, they shared a bed and Haruhi did none of that KYAAAAA shit when he woke her up. And there's all the alone time they spend in Surprise. They're basically an item, just unofficially.
>>287064892I hope that energy appears again in the upcoming novel, then.
>>287064892C'mon kyon subdue the crazy goddess
>>287064987NTA.>just unofficiallyWhy not make it official, then?
>>287065013Once they're officially going out and kissing the entire brigade dynamic changes and the adventure isn't the same. Same reason why Haruhi is mad at Kyon for spoiling her everyone is an ayy after melancholy
>>287065013Probably cuz author doesn't wanna do conclusive statements until the actual conclusionIt's a really stupid approach but ok
>>287065049>Once they're officially going out and kissing the entire brigade dynamic changes and the adventure isn't the same.And for how much more do they plan to avoid the inevitable?
>>287065147Probably one or at most 2 years in universe. 1 year has already passed. Next year ends with Mikuru graduating.
>>287065201... I see.
>>287064869Haruhi be like>Its not like i like you or anything, even if you kissed me in that bizarre dream thing, im too good for admitting it
Covering a year took about 8 volumes.Tanigawa is 55 years old.
>>287065554Realistically speaking even if something happened to him, couldn't the company finish it, or do they not know how it ends too?
>>287065658That's a very good question. The answer is (probably) only known by God, Kadokawa, Tanigawa, and maybe Ito.
>>287065554Who cares? We've got 14 great novels, 2 seasons, a masterful movie and no stinkers. We might get a definitive ending, or not, but that's all anyone could ask for honestly.
>>287065865>14Not yet.
>>287065865True, but having an ending would be nice, i just want to see haruhi and the brigade in their conclusion, whatever that is
>>287065921Their conclusion is innocent joy in the eternal now of 2005, let them be happy there
The true message of Endless Eight and The Disappearance: >>287066472.
>>287063906We're not even in their final year lmao just barely started second year. Considering Mikuru will graduate a year earlier than them, series would probably be resolved before their final year of high school if anything, on the very slim chance it ever gets resolved.
>>287066550>Gets to enjoy life with his friends and girlfriend in summer in japan on repeat maximizing happiness Was endless 8 even that bad (for the characters) ?, the only downside i can think of is nagato rememring it all, if there was a way to stop that, would it really be that bad?
>>287066625Stagnation is not good, anon.
>>287066625Well about a third of that time was really spent in anxiety over they fact they're loopingCome to think of it, how come there were thousands of loops where mikuru didn't try to use or access or whatever she does with her tpdd and thus they never realized they were looping?
>>287065921I can see that yeah. I'm fine with an open ending but something official and conclusive could work.
>>287066625E8 was bad because they stagnated, and not just in the sense that they repeated the 2 weeks but also that it happens because Kyon doesn't actually put anything on the list, he just follows. Stagnation.
>>287056463Dunno
>>287069199Thanks for your output, anon.
