Actually the ONLY way to understand a lot of the weird things of the video is reading this novel. The movie makes a lot of more sense when you realize everything actually happen, even the weird and crappy FX.

At any rate, ONE isn't polished (writing is shoddy next to Kanon. As well, all story and character concepts were recycled and done better in later works) or popular enough to hold much value, so I doubt another adaptation is likely. |

And for what I'm concerned I'd like to forget the existence of the novel from vol. 7 onward (with the only exception of editor in chief) and some useless short like "Melancholy of Asahina" or "where did the cat go?". I believe in kyoani, the kyoani responsible for first season, but not much in Tanigawa (who seems to have lost grip on his character very quickly). BTW a second season centered on "shoshitsu" wold be fine, for now, probably on par with melancholy. Last edited by Woland; 2007-12-08 at 19:22. |

I DO want to see Editor-In-Chief and/or Wandering Shadow animated, though... And you think four episodes would be enough for Volume 7? It's a pretty big story... |

And The Melancholy of Asahina Mikuru is not useless at all, it's practically required for understanding Volume 7. Though I will agree that Where Did the Cat Go? is kind of useless, but... |

I searched long and hard for answers to why people don't get the show. One of my later findings led to SQ, Sentience Quotient, yep new factor. The rate at which your brain processes info.
One can have high IQ but low SQ at the same time. Haruhi requires more SQ than IQ, if you're slow you don't get much, probably not past episode 1.

Season II 1. Sighs (Part I) 2. Disappearance (Part I - Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody) 3. Disappearance (Part II) 4. Sighs (Part II) 5. Disappearance (Part III) 6. Editor in Chief I 7. Endless Eight 8. Editor in Chief II 9. Anime Original Episode 10. Disappearance (Part IV) 11. Snow Mountain Syndrome 12. Charmed at first sight LOVER 13. Disappearance (Part V) 14. Disappearance (Part VI) Season III 1. Melencholy of Asahina Mikuru 2-11. Intrigues 12. Wandering Shadow 13-18 Dissociation 19-24 Surprise This would be a full adaptation that would cover everything if 10 is the last novel in the series. My guess is that a theoretical season III would be chronological, just like in the books.

And I have to admit that I'm not enjoying very much all this time travel stuff... seems just a complicated (but not really "complex") way to stretch the story. |

Again, Volume 10 will finish that particular story arc. Mikuru is SUPPOSED to be a flat character... that's kind of the point. Where I thought Volume 7 shined was the further characterization of Tsuruya, the aforementioned opposition, and, of course, how stressed Kyon became with the whole time travel situation. Also, I'm probably wrong, but you seem to be forgetting that, unlike many studios, KyoAni adapts its work relatively faithfully. We'll be seeing Volume 7 in anime form eventually whether you think it's "worthy" or not. |

Oh well, after all that reiteration I GET very well the point. I enjoyed it? No!
And Trusuruya development (and don't forget Koizumi) was just a small part of the thing, and not so consistent. Quote:
I'm also aware that is KyoAni work who put the "Magic" on the subject with many small, but relevant things. I don't expect they'll change the subject, not in a considerable way... but I would be very happy in the eventuality. |

Still doesn't mean it wasn't an interesting storyline. It was enjoyable, and I would rank it 3rd on my list (Disappearence, then Melancholy, then Intrigures).

I agree with CA, you people seem to read the books but not actually READ them. Vol 2 The Sighs is important not only to understand the video but also shows how Haruhi actually alters the real sword, something that the anime doesnt show, its also good in terms of character development, specially if the second season puts this chapter after Snow Mountain Syndrome, just compare the Haruhi of them with now, she was willing of using and abusing her friends and she doesnt seem to care about anybody besides her, this has been slowly changing in the novels.
Where Did the Cat Go? its agian a chapter about character development, mostly focused in showing how Kyon realises that he likes being in the SOS Dan, also its a great chance for Tsuruya to shine. And finally the Melancholy of Mikuru proves she is not just a pretty face, she is actually somebody who is not comfortable, almost willing to give up and leave and she is just beinjg obligated to be there in the SOS Dan, besides dropping some hints it helps on MIkuru growth. The chapter Im waiting for is the Drama CD, it helps to understand what happen between the end of the anime and Disappearance. Oh and I cant wait for Mikuru to yell: Kyon! I am your Daugther!! (Imperial march!!!) Quote:
Really the only flat one is Kyon Sister. |

A "round" character, however, is a character with many defining character traits. Flat characters can become round characters through character development, and characters that go through said development are said to be "dynamic" characters. Those that do not (Mikuru again, for the most part) are said to be "static" characters. The irony behind female characters with large busts is that they are almost always "flat" characters. |

Just that it's going to exist. I think Kyoto is intentionally keeping us all in the dark, since they have yet to release an official episode count of Clannad, or a release date of Haruhi. We'll probably find out about it in either February or June, depending on how long Clannad runs.
