I was Wavering to post this excerpt or not since the real copy will be shipping soon from retailers, but here's a sneak peek.
(They switched translators from Chris Pai to Paul Starr. I've already seen one translation I can't say I'd do, but it's somewhat understandable.)

Amazon has a listing for Intrigues, with a June 19, 2012 date attached. And Wavering is shipping; the cover has appeared and Amazon lists it In Stock.

I see nothing in his post that'd point to him actively participating in the ongoing discussion in the thread. I doubt most people in this thread actually wait for the official English releases anyway. I buy them to support the series, but it'd be crazy to wait 3+ years to read something that's already available online.

Quick note on the translation. Here's a couple of changes that were taken by Yen Press from the fan/Bandai version:
"Starling Inferno" is now "Star Ring Inferno" "Haru-nyan" is fully translated to "Haru-meow" It's late in my time zone, so I'll double-check tomorrow for any other changes that I missed.

It shows a lack of consistency between releases. On pg. 131 and 136 of Rampage the previous translator had "Haru-nyan" translated as "Harls." The new translator has a different translation and none of the editing staff bothered to catch it. Thus we have two different translations for the same nickname in Japanese for the official English releases.
Personally, I liked "Harls" as it signifies Tsuruya's addition of "s" on various words (which wasn't kept by the new translator) as a little verbal tic. It's a good translation of a nickname without going literal like "Haru-meow." This is why it bugs me, but others may feel differently.

I guess that summery wasn't checked by a proofreader?
Wow at the wrong volume for Disappearance and them saying that they're trying to "stop a terrible future". Thanks for providing us the covers for Intrigues. I received my copy of Wavering on Friday, and I have read through part of it. I noticed in the "Live Alive" story, they mention Pop Music Club instead of Light Music Club. I am not sure if the fan translated version had the same as that. Not sure how I feel about "Haru-meow". I kinda liked "Starling Inferno" better than "Star Ring Inferno" because it just had that Engrish feel to it, plus it sounded like a lawyer-friendly nod to Star Light Breaker. |

Nagato Yuki-chan continues. But who is Nagato? Almost the normal (alien) Nagato...but she is not quite (she blushes). But she isn't quite the Alt-Yuki anymore either. (but then the Nagato Yuki-chan alt is like a alt version of the Haruhi-chan Yuki...with the gamer parts and the antics with Ryoko).
One step and a time, Kyon. One step at a time.

Astonishment's first press edition sold 435,124 (about 85% of the first pressing) this fiscal year according to Oricon. Since the set contained two books, that's 870,148 novels sold from one release. The series itself sold 1,094,466 books this year. (Taken from the amount sold for Tanigawa and adding another 435,124 (for the 11th novel) to it)
Only Index, Haganai, and Infinite Stratos had more total books sold this year.

Well if anime require lead time to make...that's I suppose two year until it could be possibly animated? Including figuring out how to make sure it works with the existing unanimated material (research, writting, scripting, animating, and so on).

Quote:
"It’s a new year, and Haruhi Suzumiya, the powerful (and pushy) leader of the SOS Brigade is actually…content. For once, she’s not seeking out time-traveling exploits, murder mysteries, or any other wild adventures that could lead to the destruction of the universe. Surprisingly, it’s Kyon, the most normal member of the SOS Brigade, who wants to shake things up. When Kyon discovers that something’s not right with the universe, it’s up to him, his pal (and secret crush) Mikuru, and the beautiful but stoic Nagato to head back to the past in order to save the future." I haven't read Intrigues (lol, got taken down before I could get to it). Is this better? (I know it's better than getting the ordering of your own series wrong)
