A PV that’s more or less a “condensed” version of the upcoming “The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya” movie is now streaming on YouTube via Lantis, the company producing the movie’s soundtrack. The five minute video features a slide-show of screen shots from the movie in chronological o...
In the summer of 2007, I read the Haruhi novels via Baka-Tsuki and posted a detailed chronological timeline of the important events in the series, complete with brief synopses of stories that haven’t yet been animated and bits of interesting trivia. Since we’ve finally had new Haruhi ani...
Worlds of Haruhi Suzumiya (WoHS) is a fan-made visual novel created by English-speaking fans. The novel incorporates a unique crossover storyline using characters from Haruhi and other anime, as well as original characters. The WoHS staff started work on the novel in 2008 and have since...
The first trailer with actual animation footage for the upcoming “The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya” (Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu) movie just recently went up on the official haruhi.tv site… Visiting the site here will take you to a (likely temporary) error page. If you wait a few se...
Continuing with my 12 moments of anime for 2009, here’s #11: Twelve Anime Moments of 2009: #11: English release of Haruhi Suzumiya novels I loved the Haruhi novels when I read Baka-Tsuki’s fan translations back in 2007. I even read through all 9 volumes a second time in 2008. I wasn’t sure if a...

This episode starts out introducing the talking cat, Shamisen, and shows how he got his speaking abilities, which was something that was left out in the previous season. In addition to wrapping up the making of the movie (heh, don’t Kyon and Haruhi’s parents care that they stayed in the clu...
Poor Mikuru gets the most abuse in this episode (she gets more abuse in “The Intrigue” though Haruhi is not the cause); not only does she get tossed into the dirty pond, she then gets drugged by Haruhi and Tsuruya-san. The antagonism between Haruhi and Kyon that results makes this the most dr...
The scene right before the Mikuru Beam fires, where Kyon has to yank Haruhi away from Mikuru, was actually way more dramatic than it was in the novels. There’s a similar scene like this later on, where Kyon has a heated argument with Haruhi about what she did to Mikuru. I won’t spoil anything bu...
Part 2 of “The Sigh” continues exactly where part 1 ended… …right where it cut Mikuru off while she was talking, actually. I don’t think I’ve seen any other anime episodes that ended and started in that way, but that’s Haruhi for you, always has to do things that other series wouldn’t dare XD K...
Suzumiya Haruhi no Gensou (The String Concert of Haruhi Suzumiya) was a concert held in Tokyo this past April 29th featuring the Tokyo Philharmonic playing music from the Haruhi TV series. The CD of the concert tracks was just released last week… ———-
I loved the first season of Shana and this second season was good as well. Although Shana II was a bit slower than the first, it still had all the elements that make the Shana series in general so appealing; unique, complex fantasy, sympathetic, interesting characters, an engaging mix of ro...
