The 2009 Re-Launch of Haruhi Suzumiya (General Discussion)

[stubby42]

I'm confused, are the dates listed on the wiki page wrong? because some of the new episodes are listed in april and early may but they havent been released yet have they?

Read the paragraph above the list.

I felt that Snow Mountain Syndrome is one of the best stories in the game. I recalled feeling the tension while reading it and I couldn't stop until I finished the whole thing.

To put everything in one episode doesn't really do justice to it. Two would be better, something like:

Spoiler for light novel spoiler:

Part I: 1st half - All the talk in the SOS-Dan room about holidays and snow resorts. 2nd half - Going out to ski. Ends with getting lost and seeing the mansion.

Part 2: 1st half - Exploring the place. Ends with Yuki fainting.
2nd half - Getting back to the resort.

I don't quite get the appeal of having Where Did the Cat Go? to end Haruhi 2009. Maybe another anime-original episode will be nice. Or

Spoiler for Vol 9:

Foreshadowing of the alternate SOS-Dan?

[Heatth]

Yes, the dates are worng. But not much, only by one day (when is listede 05/01 it is actualy, 04/30). [not realy, see (13 post) below]

See the list again, the only new episode is the episde 08, "Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody", aired on May 22, 2009 (actualy May 21).

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (2009 version) includes not only new episodes but old ones to.

Edit:

Spoiler for light novel:

Part I: 1st half - All the talk in the SOS-Dan room about holidays and snow resorts. 2nd half - Going out to ski. Ends with getting lost and seeing the mansion.

Part 2: 1st half - Exploring the place. Ends with Yuki fainting.
2nd half - Getting back to the resort.

In other words, doing the same that they did on Lost Island Syndrome? I agree.

Your part one could easily be done in half an episode, just saying. Though I do doubt they could do your part two in half an episode..

Go read the story again? It has a similar feel to Someday in the Rain, like I've been saying.

It's just the SOS-dan having fun together. Simple and light, which is what Haruhi does best anyway.

As I said before, a good episode to end a DVD may be not a good episode to end a broadcast. This is why we get a anachronical order in first place.

But episodes are being added into a chronological broadcast, which is pretty much the same as the DVD order. If the episodes were in a messed up order again, maybe it would end on a more climactic note.

[Kogetsu Shirogane]

An original episode to end things would be nice. However, Where Did The Cat Go? is fine, too.

[Ithekro]

It would be mildly amusing to end with the Intrigues prologue, then have Kyon start riding his bike home, only to have this gear shift break at the end (leading directly into the Haruhi-chan starting episode).

Exept that now they can do a more climactic end following the chronological order: The Intrigues's prologue. It is not as epic as the end of Melancholy but is better than Where Did The Cat Go?.

A finale or is a end or is a cliffhanger.

What is with everyone hating Where Did the Cat Go? I loved that story.

[Kogetsu Shirogane]

I don't hate it. Epic Tsuruya+Haruhi pwnage of Koizumi was awesome

Any owning of Koizumi is awesome. The fact that it was Tsuruya and Haruhi delivering the ownage just made it better.

[Kogetsu Shirogane]

Hence why I said it was epic pwnage.

I don't hate it neither. Is justthat I realy don't like ir as a finale.

However, to tell the truth, this isn't my favorite chapter. Even with the epic pwnage. But I love the conversation between Kyon and Tsuruya. It is a shame that is too short.

By the way, as an FYI, Wikipedia is actually correct. The first airing of the episodes is at what the Japanese TV Schedules refer to as "24:40", which is actually 00:40 (12:40am) on the following day. So, 24:40 on 21 May is actually on the 22nd of May according to the standard way of listing dates/times in English. Just one of those little bits of trivia that's good to know.

The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya is one of my favorite novel!
Cause....

Spoiler:

- Yuki finally have emotions
-The SOS Brigade have a Christmas party!

Also Someday in the rain was an OVA ,Maybe?

I think Where did the cat go? should be the ending cause the first season ended up with a bad/good ending

- The bad thing I didn't like was when Yuki keep on reading for 5 or so min.
and she wasn't even talking?
- The good part was when Haruhi and Kyon walking together with 1 umbrella!

And knowing is half the battle! (G~~ I~~ Joe~~~~!)

(I swear to God, if they don't find some way to work that into the upcoming live action movie, I'm going to burn something down...)

Of course, don't forget that 24:40 Thursday night in Japan is Thursday morning in the US and afternoon in Europe, and that is when news, pics, and reviews of any new episodes (and other stuff relating to new episodes) would be hitting 2ch and the net in general.

I think that is mostly why we (at least those of us who were aware of the odd time designation) have been using the technically incorrect "Japanese TV Schedule" date as the air date.

[relentlessflame]

Deleted a whole bunch of off-topic posts. Please, guys, let's not start the same thing all over again...

[dragon4dudes]

I had a on topic thought that was part of a largely off topic post... what was it again? Oh, yeah, would that little Christmas party scene in the first ending be shown?
