If anything it was oddly almost too long for a teaser. It should have just been "Announcement", slow fade to a picture, "Logo/Date". What I suspect they'll do is release promo information for the movie in the upcoming Haruhi DVD releases and in their various magazines. They're in a business to make money, after all.

In my case (and just to name a few)....

Wait months between every Eve no Jikan episode, between the releases of Tsubasa Cat and now this.

Which reminds me of Full Metal Panic. What's it been, 4 years since the last series?

It will sell out. Even with the suspected DVD sales of the current series being depressed, this movie will sell out. Specifically because this is what the fanbase has been waiting for the last three years...and by then it will be almost four years, depending on the actual release date.

You are assuming they need to be forgiven. It's gonna sell out no matter what.

But I am speaking as someone who casually watches the show and didn't have expectations or hype for this much hyped legendary Haruhi chapter. I am glad there is a movie, though.

A movie?

Can anyone explain to me why a movie? And how is it gonna be broadcast? Cinemas?

It is a movie because the story is good enough to worth it. And, yes, it is going to broadcast on japanese cinemas.

Yep. It'll be one of those cinematic movies. I hear those are getting rare...

[AmyElizzabeth]

Cinematic movies?
Or animes in Cinematic movie theatres?

Last one, like the Evangelion remakes, if I presume correctly.

[StarRodMan]

Ha, well even if the wait is long, any sort of confirmation is good news to me.

[AmyElizzabeth]

Agreed.
Well, anything even remotely related to Haruhi is good enough for me

Pokemon is still showing a theatrical movie every summer. :P

I wouldn't be surprised if the movie theaters sold out really quickly.

I mean, remember when people rented out hotels to use their channel service, just to watch the 2nd season?

Imagine what they would do to get the chance to watch this movie. Then again, Endless Eight killed off quite a few fans, so I guess that helped even things out.




I wonder if I have enough money for a round trip to Japan next spring... >_<;

[Ithekro]

One now wonders if the theory about Endless Eight rotating animation/art teams/directors was because they wanted to see who was best suited to handle a movie is true?

I don't think so. How much time it is needed to make a movie? It is more then a year right? They must be working on it for a while.

That's because Pokemon is popular and mainstream enough to warrant it.

This is really awesome news. Disappearance is my favourite Haruhi novel so I'm really looking forward to this. However it's probably going to be a while until I get to watch it.

[Animexcel]

Does this mean Haruhi will be staying in the current section for a while? xD

[AmyElizzabeth]

I hope so.
It makes me feel fuzzy that I'm actually watching an anime THAT IS CURRENTLY AIRING. but It hasn't for like, what, a month now?
Soo excited for the new movie.
I wanna see summa dis:

Spoiler for spoiler:

This.

I'm not too broken up over the wait, since school and other "life projects" will keep my too busy to give a shit about a movie being released in another country, but I agree that a TV show would be better, simply because I'm a purist when it comes to cinema, and I don't believe that Haruhi is "serious business" enough to be a good movie; it'll just be another mediocre piece of shit plaguing theaters. I believe that the only movies worth two shakes of piss are good movies, and I just don't see Haruhi winning an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. As a TV show, I probably would have enjoyed it. As a movie, I'm afraid that it won't live up to my expectations. Doesn't mean other people can't enjoy... it just means that I probably won't, so you'll have to excuse my pessimism.

Well, this is going to make life dificult for any folks who'd attempt to fansub this new content. How are anime movies treated by the fansub community? It's not like you can tune into some TV station and record what airs.
