The Merchandise of Haruhi Suzumiya (Figurines, Artbooks, OSTs, etc.)

[Heminga13]

So is there anywhere easy to buy the artbook or is it only on Japanese sites right now?

Right now it's primarily available from Japanese online retail sites, but the Kinokuniya stores in New York, Portland, Los Angeles, and Costa Mesa have it in stock.

Ah, OK. I don't live anywhere near those store lol. Thanks for the info, though.

For those wondering about the Blu-Ray Complete Box, I have a couple updates. First, the Amazon Japan yearly rankings for all of DVD have the set at number 22 on the year. There's been a couple musical releases by AKB48 and JUNSU/JEJUNG/YUCHUN that have raced to beat the set. It's still topping other popular anime series like Bakemonogatari's final volume and Angel Beats. I personally assume the set will end up selling around 25,000-30,000 on the first week, which is absolutely fantastic.

Secondly, the store special favors have pretty much been finalized. I'll go in alphabetical order:
Amazon: None, but best international price.

Animate: 2011 Desktop Calendar

Chara-Ani: Special Noizi Ito cloth poster

Gamers: Special Telephone Card

HMV: Special original Telephone card

KyoAni Shop!: Special mini cel (final image not revealed)

Sofmap: Special Telephone Card

Toranoana: Special Tapestry (Front/Back)

I just don't like 2009 designs. I think is the same woman who draws but 2006 designs are my favorites by far.
Anyway the movie designs were great although we will never know how the 2006 designs would fit in such a 'dark' movie.

Haruhi Suzumiya commands you to point

I have to agree, I sorta liked the 2006 designs better.

That's a very cute picture.

That being said, I agree with Rungelunge and Hooves on preferring the 2006 designs.

KyoAni Shop! has put up a listing for their 2011 calendar from The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya. I've put the images under a spoiler bar since it has a big spoiler for those who haven't actually been spoiled as to the first big revelation to the story.

Spoiler:

I absolutely love that KyoAni used an idea of keeping the Disappearance!world for this calendar. It's a good take into what some of the year would look like if Kyon had stayed there.

Why does that world feel more peaceful then the old world that we are very much accustomed to...

I have to admit that Haruhi looks even better with the long hair at those pictures, especially if its in a ponytail (oh great I'm thinking like Kyon..)

Even though I'm a starter at Mahjong, I would buy the game and learn even further if I had that chance.

Very interesting... I'm seeing a whole bunch of what-ifs...

Spoiler for Disappearance:

I dunno... some of these look like what could have been, if Kyon chose to stay in the alternate world. It's... more peaceful, and serene... of course, I'm not saying that the actual original world isn't all that and more exciting and such, but you have to admit that we are all curious as to what if Kyon had stayed with Alt. Yuki.

@Hooves There's no need to be ashamed of it. I think most of us agree long-haired Haruhi, and ponytail Haruhi is more attractive than the regular Haruhi.

Nice calender though. I might consider getting it to kick off 2011...

[Ithekro]

And they just keep reminding me of how good Yuki's legs look.

[AmyElizzabeth]

2011 calendar looks pretty darn awesome. I love the alternate people. I like how they look (besides Yuki. I like emotionless Yuki.) But it looks really good. I might want to buy it..later.

Pretty interesting especially December . . . Kyon definitly looks like he's having fun there . . .

Haruhi-chan and Churuya-san BD Box is well done from what I've seen so far. I know some are curious as to the status of the English subtitles, so this was an appropriate method of addressing that:


(To be honest, they are spell-checked and read much better than the Youtube version)

[Mr. Wang]

That is both cute and sad news at the same time. I'm... torn right now...
