>The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya first aired on this day twenty years ago Time for a Haruhi thread
>>287181898Maybe I'll finish this series someday.
Haruhi pretty :)
Are the light novels any good?
>>287181898was i wrong for skipping through the episodes where they were stuck in the time loop?
>>287182712Yes
>>287182712No ,you are not wrong.Endless Eight was only a short chapter in the original light novel and two chapters in the manga. Kadokawa's decision to extend Endless Eight to EIGHT FUCKING EPISODES was because Tanigawa did not turn Haruhi into a cash cow by pumping out filler novels and Shana-grad tier shenanigans.>>287182529They're great. The Haruhi novels are actually complex compared to another esper/supernatural manga of Haruhi's time. Personally, they should be treated as genuine literature.
>>287182750Well alright then, might check them out
>>287181898No, Kyon, I can't wait a little longer. I'm going to die of heart disease before S3 comes out.
>>287182763For the real literature experience, try to get the Yen Press paper version that has covers like this.
I believe in S3!
>>287182821
>>287181898>Season 1 aired in 2006, Season 2 in 2009, and the theatrical film "The Disappearance" was released in 2010.
>>287183019>Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya is 16 years oldWTF
>>287182821I believe in Season 3!
>>287183319What a sad story...
>>287183319poor guy
I remember getting hooked on this after that detective/ace attorney like episode.To this day I think they haven't explained who was the apparition they saw on that beach. Spooky
You want compromise? How's this, 20 years in SOS, I wanted season 3, I compromised. I watched Endless Eight 3 times in a row.
>>287182816>the of haruhi suzumiya melancholy
linkity link:https://haruhitv-anniversary.com/>>287183019>season 2KyoAni expanded the original series to 28 episodes and rebroadcasted all episodes in 2009, so technically there is no season 2.
Gonna be rewatching it today for the anniversary
>>287181908>onlyn the normal one is canonas it should be
still the hottest anime character ever to me
we WILL get snowy mountain syndromewe'll use time travel to save kyoani
>>287181898>twenty years agoI want to Haruhi myself
Any announcements yet?
>>287181898>20 years agoNice try, but I am not falling for that. I know 2006 was only 10 years ago.
Does the otaku culture that Haurhi defined even exist anymore?
>>287183975>thick but realistically soWhat a shame that this kind of physique is so rare in anime.
>>287181898I...... be........lie......ve....
>>287182821Never happening and even if it did it's been too long and to properly wrap up the show you would need minimum 2 full seasons and a movie. Haruhi was thoroughly a 2000s phenomenon.
>>287181898>20 yearsOnly another a year before we get Season 3!
>>287183319
Yes I'm talking that anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. It fucking sucks. Now it's pretty popular among the anime circles, and yet this poor excuse for an animated feature is the worst thing ever produced by a human being if you except Plan 9 from Outer Space, and I'm being generous.First you gotta admit you hated the first episode. It made no sense, sucked as shit, wasn't funny, edgy or new. Or original. Animation sucked dead dogs' balls. Characters sucked dead dogs' balls. Voice actiong sucked dead dogs' balls. But you managed to make it through the whole pile of steaming poo just to see the ED. BEcause that's what this anime is about. It's about the ED. Those 1 minute and a half. There's nothing else to it. You went like "OMG ANIMATION LIEK" you freaking retards and now everyone likes it. Yet it's shit. It's complete shit with no redeeming qualities. There's fucking nothing to it. Just the dance at the end. It's a dancing anime. A fucking retarded danxcing anime with no story and nothing and no characters it sucks. You shouldn't like it you morons seriously. Just download the ED and loop it on your WMP you cockass faggot asses. DAMN I wish all those threads about HARUHI OMG YEAH would go one and everyone in them die FUCK YOU for polluting my forums HARUHI FUCK YOU.AND NO IT 'S NOT A COPY PASTA I'VE JUST TYPED THIS WHOLE THING.FUCK YOU
>>287185282Chad Warden...
i was 9 years old in 2006 and didn't know 4chan even existed
>>287185348I was in my first year of middle school and I discovered 4chan when a friend told me that 4chan is the ass of the internet and /b/ is the hole all the shit comes out ofI've been unable to extricate myself since...
THIS is what it's all about. This right here. This anime, this is why I got into this stuff in the first place. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is everything that's right with the medium. Just to prepare you, for the next few paragraphs I am going to give this series the most wonderful and sloppy, typed oral sex I can possibly bestow through a written review such as this. As with a few other shows I've reviewed in the past, Haruhi is best if you go into it blind without any knowledge of what is to come. Just know ahead of time that I give this 14 episode series a 14 out of 14 Rings of Power. It is as close to perfection as any comedy I've ever seen has ever come close to attaining. Watch it.If you still need to be convinced of this show's transcendence please, let me convince you now. Let me convince you with a FIST TO THE FACE!!! Or if you are a woman, let me convince you with a nice, sensual, baby-oil-filled massage. During the POUNDING or the body slathering I would also tell you the following: Haruhi Suzumiya is one of the all time great leading ladies. She's cute, outgoing, smart, athletic, and completely fucking nuts. Imagine the craziest girl you've ever know... An ex or some totally bonkers chick you used to work with (you know, the one who would make up an excuse for being late to work because she got into a traffic accident while writing obscene messages backwards on her windshield with lipstick so that the guy in front of her could read it which caused him to slam on his breaks and her to smash into his trunk at 75 MPH and cause her to then shit her pants and have to go home to change them)... Then take away all the parts of her that really scare the ever living shit out of you and make you want to strangle her, add a fun personality and a pretty smile, brains, athleticism and... You know what, she's nothing like that crazy bitch from work or any of my exes. Fuck that analogy. HARUHI IS AWESOME. ALL AROUND AWESOME.
>>287185519I found it intriguing and kinda weird, but is it wrong that the only reason I kept watching was because of Yuki and Mikuru, and I don't give a fuck about anyone else?
So did Cynic-kun give her the D?
>>287185002>indian KyonWhat a cursed image lol
>>287182529Yeah that's why it hurts they're not adapted
>>287183416>the apparition they saw on that beachIt's supposed to be Haruhi conjuring some explanation that doesn't involve someone she knows killing people
>>287185563Yuki is obviously one of the main appeal with Disappearance and Mikuru needs a lot more appreciation, but I'd say you're watching it wrong if you're not invested in Haruhi's introspection or Kyon's personality in general.
>>287181898Let's be honest, we were so much happier 20 years ago
Expected this thread to be much bigger already but oh well, there's been a lot of Haruhi threads lately and you can only have the same amount of talking points.Regardless, I fucking love Haruhi. It's been my #1 since I was fifteen, which was also my genesis as an otaku. Haruhi and Yuki are big comfort characters for me, and Haruhi's adorable beaming face has definitely helped psych me up for shit that was really hard to confront with a straight face. Even now, my car looks like it's totalled and fittingly I got it around the time of the light novel's 20th anniversary. Loved that thing way too much for how little I had it, but life goes on and Haruhi most certainly will. Season 3 I don't ever think will get made nor do I really want it to as things are now, but art is forever and what Haruhi's given me has not only already been given to countless across the world, but will continue to be. Remains to be seen what'll remain in another twenty years after what's been lost of over the past twenty, but Haruhi herself is immortal.
Did haruhi begin the destruction of anime?
>>287187065How do you figure?
I can't believe fmp got a new season before haruhi
>>287182821Aren't they doing another rerun?
I miss haruhi
>>287187065no, smarphones did - at around the same time (iphone came out in 2007 - watch the presentation by Steve Jobs if you are interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MlSJLPxGYs).Easy access to (anime) music, manga, *cough*web*cough* novels, later also anime series (Studio Gonzo started in 2008, KyoAni did the Haruhi-chan and Churuya-san net shorts parallel to the 2009 rebroadcast).Add in the mobage boom and vtumors, and you get a shift away from physical sales.
>>287187317started in April 1st on Netflix (Japan).
>>287187065>Lead is male and he’s not a beta cuckObviously not
>>287186988>Expected this thread to be much bigger already /a/ isn't that big nowadays, a lot of oldfags are on the bird site.>art is forever and what Haruhi's given me has not only already been given to countless across the world, but will continue to beYeah that's basically the way I see it too. Haruhi has given me a lot. Gave me courage and comfort when I left home and always pushed me to go out of my comfort zone. You could say Haruhi embodies some kind of primal strength, a thirst for more, an escape from a deterministic "computable" reality. Even Haruhi herself has to live within those confines and rules, and she accepts them, but she still raises her own brand of chaos and discovery within those constraints. Choosing to be a little less reasonable, a little bolder, less afraid... That's what Haruhi really means to me, and why I think it has such a strong staying power within the people who it clicked with.
I will forever be mad at no s3 until the day i leave this planet and hopefully meet the goddess in person
>>287183847NTA. Not yet, there's no love confession.
>>287187693Who should confess first?
>>287187693It's all but confirmed, they're not making it official because it'd spell the end of something and the beginning of something else, but it's basically just delayed.
>>287187712I dont know good question, i would say kyon but it feels wrong, i think it should be haruhi actually tho i can't explain why.
>>287187737>>287187712It wouldn't just be a straight oral confession, I'm thinking they'd spend time together alone (like they did in some later LN) and get to it naturally, probably a kiss.
>>287187731You can't have your cake, and eat it too. No love confession = they are not a couple.
>>287187788They kissed (in a dream!) and they're going to college together thanks to Haruhi coaching Kyon. There's also that scene where Kyon wakes up Haruhi by being in her bed in the middle of the night and you'd expect a generic "kyaaa!" but what you get is basically the opposite. They haven't made it official, but it's clearly just a matter of time, they've been very intimate in ways that go beyond the kiss in the Melancholy arc.
>>287187850>They kissed>(in a dream!)If you laugh, you go to hell.>but it's clearly just a matter of timeSure, anon, sure. I'll say they are a couple when it actually happens.This shouldn't be a problem for (You) because, as you've said, it's just a matter of time.
Haruhi body swap kyonko arc when
>>287187908Sounds like you're trying too hard to prove something anon. Obviously these characters need to maintain their current relationship, at least on paper, even if they clearly are getting intimate, because the moment this changes the entire dynamic changes and there's no room left for many things. Just like how Kyon can't reveal the aliens were right there to Haruhi without spoiling the adventure, they can't get together at this point in time. In fact it's exactly the same, Haruhi would answer "stop messing with me" in both cases.
>>287187934That's a pretty cool idea actually
>>287187967>cakeism: the post
>>287187978make kyonko canon
>>287186988>>287187599There's been a lot of Haruhi threads the last couple of months, that's the biggest reason. Activity gets spread around and which thread " takes off " is often random and not correlated with the relevancy of the topic. Part of what makes /a/ great but can also hurt sometimes. More people will trickle in
So what do you think it'll be? This guy is a credible leaker
>>287188258>mfw it's a remake by Satelight
>>287188289That's drawn by Puyo, right? This design always felt weird, she should have longer hair too.
>>287188258Just two more weeks!A short animated film, maybe even an original.
>>287187519>Studio Gonzo started in 2008What parallel universe did you crawl in from?
>>287188258This was said like 5 months ago, in December of other year lol.
>>287188351NTA. Yeah, that's what the timestamp says. So? Animation takes a long time to produce.
>>287188376My point is you would think they would have dropped a trailer or official announcement by kadokawa by now if it was real.
I WANT S3>>287183319heartbreaking really
>>287188411Why? Not only it's not official, but even official announcements get postponed all the time due to bad time management
What did you think about the McDonalds collab?
>>287188351>>287188376>>287188411He posted this last month>>287188465Anything but a remake. I will not watch a remake
>>287188502I mean i hope you are correct but it's been half a year and we still haven't had any other references to this supossed new project they are making.
>>287181898Wow 20 years? Crazy the main characters would all be old now and cant relate to today's kids. Love time capsule anime like this. Just feels so much of its time. I feel like a continuation with modern sensibilities wouldnt hit as hard. FlCl had the same issue. The 90s-2000s era was just so peak.
I like the way it incorporates small details/items/visual elements.
>>287188292>>287188314>>287188544I am convinced at this point that any new Haruhi anime project will not be able to live up to the expectations set by Season 1 or the movie. The window has already passed. Either a full reboot is needed, or an extraordinary budget. And even then that won't guarantee quality. Season 2 had a bigger budget than Season 1 but had all the telltale signs of overproduction
>>287183975Still wish we couldve seen her raped for all the shit she gave her classmates.
>>287188738Don't do a reboot/ remake that's the worst option.
>>287188258hasn't it been out for a while now? dogakoba is adapting it. it's crappa btw
>>287188738On one hand, no work can live up to 15-20 years of buildup. I doubt that's possible.On the other hand you don't really need to do something that crazy to make a solid S3. You need solid budget, you need a studio with a good understanding of what Haruhi is (like KyoAni did back then, if you read about it they really went above and beyond, hopefully it should be them again). Then you just adapt the novels with a good understanding of what makes them click, use the right visual cues, leave the best parts. Maybe you can alter some parts (for instance I'd like Snowy Mountain Syndrome to have a more fleshed out climax, other than that it was a great story). Maybe you can make a gimmick like the broadcast order, that could be nice, but you don't have to.Tldr: you can't release a time machine to 2006 but you can do something solid with proper care and there are tons of interesting possibilities.
>>287188738If you get a reboot that comes with e8 again, i doubt you want that.
>>287188738not even kyoani is going to equal or surpass disappearance, kyoani is 99% not adapting this so i hope it gets a good director atleast.
>>287188738" A full reboot is needed " you're incredibly retarded, that just guarantees failure for a project that is already never going to match what came before. Imagine leaning into making something horrible and actively insulting
>>287188779So is it crappa or dogakoba lol
>>287188751So we wish that upon you, but I guess we both will be left hoping
>>287187693Their attraction for each other is canon.
>>287189064Indeed, but they're also not a couple yet.
>>287189106>>287183847 is still true
>>287189124The meme in the post they're replying to specifically says "couple," tho.
>>287189223
>Haruhi and kyon still not marriedAt this point i would be 50 when they do
>>287189254They're eternally frozen in 2005, which is a good thing, apparently. That was the big lesson of Endless Eight.
>>287188758>>287188973How so? I know no one can replace Aya Hinaro as Haruhi and Sugita as Kyon, but they're getting on with age. And with how mytical the expectation for Season 3 is, I'd rather take a reboot.I'd compare it to Jojo. Yes, the TV Jojo is lacklustre in quality, but we got the full Jojo experience up to Part 6, whereas OVA Jojo only covered half of Part 3. A Haruhi reboot could do ALL the novels.Then again>>287188831This is also true. I want to believe too, but I just don't know. A decade and a half is a long time for waiting. Monmusu never got its season 2.>>287188850I blame Kadokawa for that. It was a stupid gimmick because Tanigawa was not treating Haruhi like its Shana (and thank god for that, because Haruhi is NOT Shana)
>>287189367> A Haruhi reboot could do ALL the novelsAnd be directed poorly, and be animated poorly, and lack literally all of the soul from the original and turn it into actively insulting and utterly disconnected from what made Haruhi great in the first place. Because KyoAni definitely isn't handling a remake project. Haruhi getting a " lackluster in quality " remake would be the stuff of nightmares
>>287189293I can think of things much worse than being stuck in the summer of 2005 forced to go swimming with haruhi every day
>>287189367With a season 3 you risk less, than a full reboot that if badly managed, could destroy the original reputation.
>>287188779Wait what does this mean? Are you saying Dogakoba a handling an adaptation and it looks like it'll be shit??
>>287189491Not them.>if badly managed, could destroy the original reputationI don't think that has ever happened in the history of mankind.If anything, the great remakes were those that made their source materials essentially forgotten (i.e.: Scarface, Ben-Hur 1959).Nobody gives a shit about Robocop 2014 or Disney Pinocchio 2022, and neither tarnished the reputation of their predecessors.
>>287189445>>287189491I just don't see KyoAni doing a Season 3. If they wanted to do it, they would have already done so. I do think its likely Satelight might do it, and no one wants that.And as I said earlier, Season 2 was a downgrade from Season 1. To me, the real difficulty is recapturing the magic of what made Season 1. In a way, the movie recaptured that magic, but I'm not sure if it can be done again. Not after so long.
>>287189367I don't want to bother too much to care about believing whether or not a Japanese anime studio will animate the books I loved. What matters is that the books exist, so does the anime (season 1, 2 and the masterful movie) and it left an indelible mark on me. Lots of works wont get their continuations on the big screen and it's alright. Lots of works got tainted by bad sequels, we were spared this too. Imagine if Haruhi had its own Kengan Omega.
>>287189974Not them. Cute art.
>>287181898This deserves a sticky or /a/ is dead
>>287185313Haruhi had more games on the Wii than the PS3
>>287181898I've never seen the series at all.I've watched the movie with almost no context and loved it anyway.But still, i probably won't watch the rest ever.
>>287187065Nah but she theoretically can with her unlimited powers.
>>287190417>He doesn't know
>>287190462Don't blame you movie's the best part, the rest is still decent too.It's still crazy to me they stopped after making that masterpiece.
>>287190081Yasumi is cute, duh.>>287190462Can't tell if genius or dumb. I'll respect it.>>287190646It's been a while, so I'd advise rewatching the entire thing chronologically. You'll know what to do with the repeating episodes, but I think you should watch at least 3-4 of them, there are lots of differences between the episodes (visuals/direction), even though the general plot stays the same.It's all worth it for the movie. Fantastic climax, left people butthurt for 16 years.
>>287190646No.
>>287189974As the guy who posted >287189367I've long moved on from expecting a season 3. To me the books are great. In fact, I recommend them to others. Not as "hey, these are anime books" but rather as actual literature for people to read. Thats how good the writing for the Haruhi series is. I do consider it some of the best sci fi I've read in my life.
>>287190825That's not a very hot take honestly. Once you're past the studio wars and stop being bothered by the fact the character designs aren't """high brow"""" you can see Haruhi is genuinely that good and deeply meaningful in many ways. But people are too scared of being called out for liking "moeshit" so they'd rather flaunt Evangelion or Lain instead since it seems more socially acceptable to like.
>>287181898I miss the old days. When nico nico douga was autistically making haruhi shit and shipping all the characters together. I literally grew up on all that shit in middle school. Man the anime communities used to be so good.https://youtu.be/qJdWoU4i2Mg?si=LIyE7HPMlNWkjaPJhttps://youtu.be/zkI10dHD4ZA?si=SX2BahSpmXqeGcUU
>>287189990Dominatrix Haruhi is hot!
>>287190970Kumikyoku and Nico Nico Douga are peak otaku culture. Actual art. I doubt it'll ever leave me.
>>287190991I imagine her forceful personality can mislead you into thinking she'd be a good domme, but alas!
I read the light novels to find material for "What did X mean by this?" or "Why is Y like this?" threads, and I can say they're pretty good.
>>287188516https://streamable.com/i7l4w4They went all out with the lyrics, kek.
>>287190939Lain, huh?I've always been of the opinion that Haruhi would have benefitted from a non-more character designer. Specifically Yoshitoshi aBe. Yes, the Lain guy, because Haruhi Suzumiya always reminded me of NieA_7. Or rather, Haruhi was "NieA_7 done right". The same themes and ideas of NieA_7 were better explored and expanded upon in Haruhi Suzumiya Its why I always wanted to see aBe draw Haruhi. But I do hold Season 1 of Haruhi in high regard. Haruhi Suzumiya is a series I would comfortably watch along with NieA_7, Serial Experiments Lain and Haibane Renmei. Moreso Niea and Haibane, because those were written by aBe himself, and I feel Haruhi shares the same sensibilities as NieA_7, though done better.I should repost my NieA_7/Haruhi comparison copypasta. Maybe
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A4H21O2/>200 USD for the paperback editionI beg you for mercy, lord Bezos.
>>287190939If you think about it lain just haruhi but told badly, it's a story about a being gaining consciousness with drama attached.
>>287191309Nah man it's not even comparable. They have different themes, and I can even say that Haruhi has a Lainlike character in Yuki Nagato. Heck, and in the dub, Asakura was voiced by Lain's dub voice. (it was a nice easter egg) Its why this WEG so perfectly explains what the Haruhi series is like:>Japanese teenager Blackadder meets an eccentric girl named Haruhi. One day Haruhi wants to start a new club with Blackadder-san. They enter the literature club and find Iwakura Lain chilling there. That same day Haruhi finds Newbie Akemi Homura and proceeds to fondle her boobs. Some days later, mysterious transfer student and best JoBro Noriaki Kakyoin joins the club. Blackadder-san then learns that Lain is actually a humanoid data interface, Kakyoin is a stand user and Homura is not a magical girl(yet). Shenanigans ensue.Its also why I say Haruhi is "NieA_7 told better". I wouldn't dare call it a 'worse Lain' because Yuki's story is so different from Lain even though they're both data interfaces.
>>287191236I see the perspective and it would be interesting in its own way as a serial experiment but it would make Haruhi too different. Haruhi has lots of scifi and is often about Tanigawa's nerd ramblings (laudatory), it's about existentialism and psychology.... but then again it's also about everyday life, about otaku passions and hobbies, appreciating fiction. So the characters are cute but not THAT cute or otherwordly (especially for anime), most are fairly down to earth. The girls are cute and Haruhi's design is iconic but you can see they're not trying to be weird, they're quite easy to cosplay actually.

>>287193941100% sure that if Haruhi was more popular with zoomies you'd have gotten stuff like that.
>>287194047Everyone would be praising it, like a certain eyepatched wolf, the fanservice would be considered as it is "a product of its time", as it always is with "deep" shows.

Not even the main themes. They never gave a shit. It's all social games, really.
>giving a damn about any video essay in 1488+538
>>287182712YupBut it's too lateYou've ruined your experince of the show and will never be able to enjoy it properlySucks 2 suck lol
>>287194320I see more complaining about yurifags than actual yurifagsShut the fuck up already
>>287182712KyoAni's intent in doing all eight of those episodes was to make the viewer feel a small fraction of what Yuki felt which led to The Disappearance happening. It's supposed to make you empathize with Yuki.
>>287194637That's a lie, and you know it.
>>287183416if you don't understand what was on the beach, you couldn't have been paying attention.the entire premise of the episode is that the group is enacting a fictional plot in order to prevent haruhi from creating a problem for real. the entity on the beach is there because they failed to satisfy her.
>>287183416The others already explained that it was just Haruhi's powers but I like to think that there was some other supernatural power on the island besides Haruhi's powers and besides the Espers (Koizumi and his people) and Aliens (Yuki and her organization).
I really, really, really like this image.
>>287187737haruhi's pride as a woman would never let her confess, if she could just confess the story would have ended a lot sooner
>suddenly you remember the yuki spinoff
>>287195085I don't think it is pride.It is more about the normalcy of people falling in love. She doesn't want to have normal love. Falling for seemingly ordinary guy is not how she wants her love live to be.

>>287194210The frame that lead to dozens of yuki anal doijins
>>287194637yurifags never really existed with Haruhi, yaoifags loved kyon and koizumi though
>>287195099I'm concerned whatever the new show will be will be worse than this...
>>287181898Why won't mods sticky? Why does the staff hate haruhi?

Why is there zero Kyon/Mikuru fan art?
>>287206349Cos Mikuru sucks.
>>287207764
>>287206349Mikuru had less interaction with Kyon that Haruhi or Yuki did. Even Koizumi has more bromance with Kyon - this series is one of the few to fo fujo baiting well.Part of the problem is that Mikuru herself is not attracted to Kyon
>>287206349Mikuru is just a way for haruhi to show kyon love without admitting it.It's like >hey look I'll give you the super busty girl aren't you greatfull?I dont think mikuru and kyon have anything beyond friendship and kyon trying to play knight defending mikuru because he thinks she's cute.
>>287208012>I dont think mikuru and kyon have anything beyond friendshipThat applies to basically everyone given the "No Hugging, No Kissing" rule enforced in the brigade to not ruin the mood.I acknowledge that Haruhi and Kyon are evidently the end game and thus different to any other pairing, just in case.Yet, there's plenty of Kyon and Yuki art, and even Koizumi has a fair share of art with both Mikuru and Yuki.And there's of course the fujo art of Kyon and Koizumi, and the yuri art featuring the brigade girls.

Is Kyon supposed to be an insufferable idiot or was he better in the light novel and he's just bad in the anime? Sometimes they let him act smart but most of the time he just comes off as kind of a retard or worse a pretentious retard.
>>287208536Yes
What if Haruhi became a magical girl?
>>287209736What type of magical girl?We talking Madoka, Precure, Nanoha, LWA, Symphogear, Mai-Hime, Winx (mahou shoujo forma de Italia), Sailor scout, Negima Pactio... fuck, too many systems to consider.
>>287192794At least twenty years he's been drawing her. Bless his dedication.
>>287208536Kyon like all characters gets better as the story goes.He's originally an idiot because he doesn't think he adds to the brigade that much, so it's like he's originally just a sarcastic observer or narrator, it's not until like dissaprance and the arcs after where he starts to realize his role.

I'm literally on the last LN and haven't finished it in over half a year because I don't want it to end.
>>287212633Based.
>>287212715They can kick my balls and I would be happy.
>>287181898I'll always have fond memories of it. For better or worse, it was this anime that got me posting in 4chan in the first place. Honestly, this place couldn't be beat for image posting or discussion at the time (it also made suffering through Endless Eight more bearable).I haven't watched it in a while, so I wonder how well this anime has held up. Probably still pretty well. And I still find it hilarious that this and Gundou Musashi started airing in the exact same season. What a contrast.
>>287212877I rewatched it a few years ago, and I think it did hold up well. Helps that they don't make anything like this anymore.
More bunny Haruhi please.
why couldn't he finish the novels

>>287213032man, this was so hype back then. Haruhi really was this perfect all-rounder anime that had a bit of intrigue about Haruhi's power, comedy, references to other big anime from the last generation and a musical number like this out of nowhere. And it somehow all worked. Even shit like the endless 8, as much as you may hate it, was so ballsy and avant garde.
>>287213172Kids these days will never know the experience of watching Season 1 in broadcast order and not having the faintest idea what the heck was going on.
>>287213243I have to admit I was pretty confused, I was hyped up by the internet to watch Haruhi, torrented it and then>avant garde student film intensifies
Worship Haruhi's ass!
>>287213025Writing ain't easy. Tanigawa wasn't writing some Shana-level schlock, he was establishing complex sci-fi ideas. Its why Tanigawa never rushes the supernatural in Haruhi. When it does happen (like in Surprise and Disappearance), its earned and lends to the larger themes that Tanigawa wants to explore. Its why I personally feel Haruhi, especially Season 1, is indeed more comparable to Serial Experiments Lain than to Shakugan no Shana. Consider how the second most recent novel, the Intuition, heavily features a complex word puzzle that requires familiarity with certain detective stories. There is one theory that suggests that Tanigawa wrote Haruhi as a means of coping Hanshin earthquake, and Tanigawa lost his creative spark after the great tsunami of 2012. I'm not sure how much is true, but I think it is plausible.Point is, and despite what Kadokawa wanted, Tanigawa did not treat his novels like a cash cow.
>>287213371Even if he has no motivation to write more novels, I wouldn't mind if he just released a small book or even just an interview saying where he intended to go with the series.
soon
>>287213371Tbf is is really that hard to end it, all he has to do is make kyon and haruhi be together that's it.
>>287213530My face as her throne.
>>287213545Would Haruhi sit one someone's face just for the novelty of the experience?
>>287213530Great Goddess>>287213688I hope so.
>>287213498TECHNICALLY he already did that. In Surprise. At the end, a time displaced goes to the future and sees an adult Haruhi going to the same college as Kyon. Its implied that they may have ended up together.>>287213426>>287213498The way I see it the larger problem is the three sides that exist within the world of Haruhi and how they oppose each other. And the new introduced factions associated within them that complicates things. Its something I remember from an anon who was frustrated with how Surprise ends, with an uneasy, unresolved truce between all three sides. I said "it was better this way", but now I better see their point.The aliens and the espers oppose each other because the alien entities (DITE, the Canopy etc) manipulate data at an extraordinayr level and see humans as their playthings. The future humans, especially the older Mikuru, likely come from a timeline where humanity did not evolve further. And Itsuki's Agency represents the espers, the data manipulating humans who have these abilities thanks to Haruhi, and represent a threat to the aforementioned two. Sure, one can argue "Who cares? I wanna see Kyon and Haruhi fuck", but I think the interaction of the SOS Brigade and what each member represents is more interesting. Perhaps there might even be a future where all three sides realize that they could achieve more if they just, well, work together.I'd like to see Tanigawa write an ending like that.

>>287213371>Tanigawa did not treat his novels like a cash cow.I don't think leaving his work unfinished is doing him any favours though, and it's not like Haruhi was a masterpiece of literature anyway
Anyone got an iso or remux of the DVDs?
>>287214150>I don't think leaving his work unfinished is doing him any favours thoughIt doesn't, but I'd take a deep and unfinished story written at a glacial pace with a lot of thought put into it over a cookie-cutter plot that plays by the numbers. Shakugan no Shana played by the numbers, K-Project played by the numbers. Haruhi doesn't.>not like Haruhi was a masterpiece of literatureThis is where we differ. Yes. Haruhi is not high brow lit, but I will call the Haruhi novels literature. Its the kind of work I'm willing to judge purely by its written merit, without the illustrations and associated franchise. The first novel was greenlighted for an anime because it won an award, and I'd argue that the first season did well because the writing for the anime, which was itself an adaptation of the novels writing, was stellar. Its why I want to preserve the Haruhi novels into the future.

>>287214356Churuya >>>>>>>>>> Haruhi-chan
Many of these seemingly innocent comedy animu have absolutely horrifying "why don't they all just kill themselves" nightmare scenarios as their basic setups (like Rozen Maiden and its super-powered parasite dolls that are free to abuse their helpless "owners" any which way they want), but Haruhi takes the cake. Just think about it - the characters and the reality they live in are permanently subject to the brain-damaged, ADD-ridden whims of the female equivalent of Calvin from Calvin & Hobbes. Even death won't save them.Haruhi is a fucking lovecraftian horror story of Things that Should Not Be and it baffles me how they try to play it as a comedy.Haruhi can *erase and rewrite history just by changing her mind*. Basically, nothing other than her matters in the slightest. If anything, the fact that she doesn't know it herself only makes it worse. If she DID know, she might at least make an effort to not change things willy-nilly.She's like Azathoth, omnipotent and insane, only she's right here right now instead of at the other end of the universe. I'm fairly sure the only reason all the characters who know about her don't go insane out of the sheer horror of how everything that exists and has ever existed is the plaything of a dumbshit highschooler with the responsibility of Patrick Bateman and the attention span of a gnat is because she doesn't *think* they should go insane.

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.

A spectre is haunting /a - the spectre of Haruhiism. All the powers of the old /a have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: weeboo and tripfags, Desu and Junk, traps and GAR.Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as Harutard by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of Haruhiism, against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its weeboo adversaries?Two things result from this fact:I. Haruhiism is already acknowledged by all weeboo powers to be itself a power.II.It is high time that Haruhiists should openly, in the face of the whole world, publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the Spectre of Haruhiism with a Manifesto of the Haruhi itself.The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of fanboy struggles.Anonymous and janitors, mods and users, posters and trolls, weeboos and capypasta, in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, a fight that each time ended, either in a revolutionary reconstitution of society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending classes.In the earlier epochs of history, we find almost everywhere a complicated arrangement of society into various orders, a manifold gradation of fails. In ancient Rome we have patricians, knights, plebeians, slaves; in the Middle Ages, feudal lords, vassals, guild-masters, journeymen, apprentices, serfs; in almost all of these classes, again, subordinate gradations.The modern weeboos that has sprouted from the ruins of anonymii society has not done away with class antagonisms. It has but established new classes, new conditions of oppression, new forms of struggle in place of the old ones.
I led her into my room. She was pretty: brown hair, muddy green eyes, no rolls of fat, no fields of acne scaring her face, about sixteen years old, and a decent sized rack (not big but not a flat chest either). She stopped and looked about the room to admire my collection; Kare Kano boxset (Very good, cute little series until Anno left, then the budget dropped and the show went to shit), Neon Genesis Evangelion Platinum Edition (Not as bad or as good as people say it is) along with some Asuka and Rei figurines, Full Metal Alchemist (Great series, seems like a shonen but it’s so much better and deeper), a vintage Akira movie poster, pretty much every Gundam series boxset except for G Gundam which is total crap, a poster for the original Ghost in the Shell movie release, Unopened Robotech Mecha action figures (Mint condition), and so so so so much more. It would take days to list. She whistles, “Nice. Very Nice.”“Thanks.” I say, barely able to hold down my overflowing pride.We met at the high school anime club, which is mainly filled with fat wastes of life, and noticed each other amongst the smell of body odor and sound of a subbed Sailor Moon episode playing. She took the invitation to my place and here we are. She certainly knows how to appreciate good collection when she sees one.I decide to get right to the basics and start her interrogation, “Ok, so let me, get this out the way – Do you like Inuyasha?”She glances at me with something close to disdain, “God, no. There’s nothing interesting in a show about a bishy dog teenager not having enough guts to fuck his girlfriend, but will spend 15 minutes stupidly attacking his enemy’s new barrier before he realizes that he’s gonna need a 15 episode quest to get by it.”She then lets out a mocking yell of KAAAAGGGGOOOOMMMEEEEE.
“Good.” I sigh. I brought in a girl I met in a convention two weeks ago and she answered that she liked Inuyasha, I think her corpse (or whatever is left of it) is buried in the Johnson’s yard, I really can’t remember.“Cowboy Bebop?” she perks.“Certainly, very good episodic anime.”“Spike dies.” She teases with a smileI smile, this is turning out very well, she has a cute sense of humor too.We talk some more and she tells me how she dislikes shonen in general, she never watched it as a kid so she doesn’t have any “nostalgic fondness” for it like other anime fans do. I’m agreeing and nodding, when suddenly it fucking hits me: Wait, does she mean One Piece too? She better not fucking mean One Piece, which is an excellent anime and manga that portrays the silliness of the entire shounen genre by doing everything in an over the top manner but while still having deeper characters than any other shounen could.My hands flex and tighten in, my teeth grit together and my expression tightens, just managing to contain my building rage until I manage to exercise enough control to ask her.“What about One Piece?”She stops and thinks for a second, hand raised to her chin, “Well, yeah, I guess One Piece is pretty good for it’s genre. Pirates just aren’t my thing, though.”I relax a little, not the answer I wanted but if things continue well, I can put it aside. Besides she can always learn to appreciate it later on.We talk some more, our opinions match. She thinks Samurai Champloo is good but weak in the middle, so do I. We like old school Robotech because it’s goofy. Rozen Maiden is kinda dumb. I’m in love, we’re soulmates. Everything matches. I’m ready to enter a relationship that will bring me happiness.
Then tragedy strikes.She opens her mouth, “Well, actually, you know one show I really don’t like?”“What?”“The Melancholy of Haruhi Suz-What’s that last bit called? I don’t know. You know, the Haruhi show. It’s a fucking trite harem anime covered with a Evangelion plot and everyone is fucking homo for it. I’m a girl and even I can’t stand it.”My pulse quickens, I start to sweat uncontrollably, my hands clench and my finger nails begin to dig into my skin. Did she just insult The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya? The smartest, most interesting, cutest romance story and perhaps anime of the 2006 season? My vision turns red.I let loose a howl, no, a bellow of rage and turn on her. I smash her off my blue beanbag and onto the floor, on top of her. The wind is knocked out of her and before she can regain it, I’m smashing her head continually on the floor.“YOU FUCKING BITCH. YOU FUCKING BITCH. HARUHI’S TOO FUCKING SMART FOR YOU. YOU DUMB CUNT. IT’S TOO FUCKING SUBTLE FOR YOU. FUCKING BITCH.”I’m now smacking her across the face, hard, leaving large red welts. She’s still winded, so she hasn’t started screaming yet. Quickly, I jump off her and rush to my drawer and rattle the top drawer open, knocking a pristine Edward Elric FMA figurine to the floor chipping it.“YOU FUCKING CUNT, DO YOU SEE WHAT YOU MADE ME DO? THAT COST ME $125, YOU DUMB LITTLE WHORE.”
I pull a dagger from the drawer, blade length is about the size of my forearm, close my bedroom door and crouch down like a lion. She’s raised herself a little, so that her hands are lifting her torso off the floor. She’s coughing and in shock, then she looks at me, sees the dagger and screams. Loud. I laugh hysterically at her screams, which are beginning to excite me, and then pounce. She raises an arm to block my falling blade, uselessly. It slices through her flesh like butter, and cuts deep into the bone. Blood spurts every where, onto me, onto her, onto my bedsheets. She stares wide eyed at her ruined, flailing mass, not quite comprehending that the cute little anime nerd she was just talking with friendly with not just a minute ago has just nearly severed it. I smash onto her again, knocking her back and stab repeatedly: into her left breast, right thigh, pelvis, and then hack at her injured arm again. She’s screaming constantly and loudly and it’s stirring my loins, I can’t hold out much longer. I slash open her stomach and let her intestines and organs pour out, her liver slops out next to me and I undo my pants and boxers and lift it up above my rock hard dick. I proceed to knife a hole in it and fuck it, furiously. Now she stares, eyes wide open, in shock, trying to mouth words but nothing will come out. I explode violently into her ruined liver and toss it at her, it smacks into her face and drops off to the side. It’s not enough though, so I leap again onto her ruined torso and slice her open further, up to her neck and fuck her vocal chords. I’m not sure if she’s dead or alive at this point. Finally, I cum again and it gurgles up to her mouth. Actually, she looks pretty dead to me.Calmly, I put my boxers and pants back on and return to the living room to watch a Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex rerun.
A couple hours later, mom returns home. I offer her a greeting from the couch and she sets some groceries on the table. She goes through her routine of tidying up the house, dusting the hard to reach places in the living room, straightening things up in my parent’s room, and then she enters my room. She walks past the gore drenched walls, the decaying remains of the girl, (all the while whistling "Ningen Nante" by Takuro Yoshida), straightens my bed sheets, and picks up my blood soaked clothes that I changed out of. But before she goes, she glances at my still running computer monitor and something catches her eye.From the living room I hear her yell my name, “JAMES COOLIDGE, GET IN HERE NOW MISTER.”I rush to my door, heart pounding, and see her pointing accusingly at my monitor.I left 4chan on, and someone has posted a picture of Fate-chan in very little of anything, just bordering NSFW. Fuck.And that’s how I got grounded, /a/.
Kyon snapped, rushing at Haruhi."I CAN'T STAND IT ANY MORE," he cried out, sprinting towards the rotund schoolgirl. He began to pummel his fists into her doughy abdomen, faster and faster. The many rolls of Haruhi's fat peeking out from under her shirt quaked as they took each hit. It wasn't much good, Kyon realized, as the oversized gut just absorbed his punches. Panting, he lifted his head to stare Suzumiya in the eyes. Her face remained in neutral shock."Well," Kyon sneered, "what do have to say for yourself?"At that, she unfroze. Haruhi cocked her head a bit and squinted at the boy in front of her. She swayed and wobbled, the furious flapping of her flabby arms proving fully futile. She keeled over onto the floor with a tremendous mushy thud. Kyon smirked at her plight. He was betting she'd still think up something smarmy to tell him. It would be so like her.Instead, her bulging eyes welled up with tears and she began to whimper; Kyon was puzzled, could she finally be--"KYOOOOOOON" she bellowed, her droopy voice hitting awkward ups and downs.Kyon backed away when her tree trunk of an arm pathetically swung at his ankle."I don't have time for this," he said, "I got a date with Mikuru in ten minutes!"Her chest wracked with sobs, Haruhi Suzumiya struggled to lift her head. With her remaining energy she called out in a desparate wheeze to the retreating boy."YOU'RRRE BREAAAKING MY HEAAAAARRRRRRT!!!!!!"All she could hear was his lunatic laughter as he walked off.

>>287222155>>287222252I know. But come on, is one of the most beloved IPs from the 2000s. They can't just let it rot
>>287222233I haven't seen it since I find it sad they made her into a different characther. I just don't get why they did it. She is not even close to the disapperance of Haruhi Yuki. Do some people really see Yuki like that?
>>287222233Disappearance of Yuki-chan is so bizarre because they clearly acknowledge it's not the same Yuki even in universe, yet it's still ultimately a Yuki spinoff on the style of Haruhi.
I wish I could have more light novel volumes, damn it.
