The Q & A of Haruhi Suzumiya

[worldruined]

Koizumi copped out on his -- and Kyon plagiarized the results to bring us Lone Island Syndrome and Where Did the Cat Go? XD

[Ithekro]

Koizumi's isn't finished yet. He's got five out of seven...maybe eight "books" done.
He's just tired from all the use of red and blue ink on top of the normal black ink.
(And Haruhi is going to make it "real")

Koizumi is Ryukishi07!?

...Well, he is rather trollish...

[Ithekro]

Makes Battler a whole lot more of a self-inserted character now.
And Meta goes to a whole different extreme if it Koizumi as the author.

Battler, aside from his voice, is just about the exact opposite of Koizumi though.

What was the story that had

Spoiler:

Haruhi White and the Seven Mini Yuki's?

That one was awesome, and the images only made it better. Can't wait to see that particular one animated, even if it comes out no earlier than 2015.

But was it Mikuru who wrote it? By narrowing it down, it seems that's the case. Still, can't wait for an animated version of that.

[Heatth]

Yes, it was Mikuru.

I am also wanting to see the animated version for it, also for Yuki's story. However, I believe 2011 would be the most optimistic guess. So, nothing any time soon. =/

[mammothb]

hmm so they are definitely continuing the anime?

Well, they are making a movie and it sell insanelly well. So, yeah, I guess they are. There is no confirmation, tough

[Godly_senselessness]

Hi,Could someone tell me if i should skip any episodes in season 2?I am going to start it and i keep hearing about ppl being disgusted with the "endless eight"?

[Ithekro]

Most will say you should skip some of the Endless Eight episodes...but there is disagreement on which ones to skip.

Out of the eight episodes of Endless Eight, one needs to see the first one and the last one. The remaining six are generally up to the viewer, but it is recommended that you see at least two of those remaining six. The Second episode is generally recommended, as side from its ending, it is the original plotline.

Opinions vary on Three through Seven, though Three is considered the worst I suppose along with the Sixth one. The Fourth one seems to have been done by the Clannad art staffs...so really pretty backgrounds, but somewhat different looking character designs. Pretty nice though. The Fifth one is the most like the orignal season run in terms of animation and style. The Seventh one is the most Meta of all of them...you can see the art staff is having fun with us now and the voice actors are getting tired so they are mixing things up (This is about as close to being Shaft as KyoAni gets).

Other than that, watch all the other episodes.

This is what I would probably do if I were you... Watch the first two iterations of Endless Eight (that's the second and third new episodes of this year of new Haruhi episodes - the two episodes immediately after BLR, IIRC).

Then ask yourself how much more of E8 you can take after watching those two episodes.

If you feel "bring it on! I love it!", watch them all.

If you feel "maybe a little", I'd recommend skipping parts 3 through 6 of E8, and watching parts 7 and 8.

If you feel "not much at all", skip right to the last E8 episode.


Other than E8, watch all the other episodes.


That's my recommendation, anyway.

[Heatth]

I agree with Triple here. Just add that I believe the 2nd and the 5th E8 are the best ones(specially the 5th), so you might want to see then.

Also, I believe the 3th is by far the worse, and many say similar thing about the 7th.

Yeah I also want to see Tsuruya-san's story. Hope it is worth laughing XD.

Or they should print a Literary Journal of that instead. (In English and in Japanese)

This is not shown in the novel, so the chance of they animate it is low. We can only read Yuki's, Mikuru's and Kyon's storys. Well, and Itsuki's, kinda, as it was dramatization of an early story (from Book 3 or 6, don't remember)

What do you mean?

I meant that they (KyoAni/Kadokawa/or someone out there) print an official version of Haruhi's literary journal (I also want to see the symbols of Haruhi: the basic formula/theory of time travel and Tsuruya-san's funny article which made everyone laugh [except Nagato]).

As for Tsuruya-san's story:

We managed to finish the Club Journal by the deadline. It was just a booklet printed on copy paper that we stuck together with a gigantic, industrial-sized stapler, but as for the content―――removing any bias I may have―――you could say that it was fairly substantial.

Of particular excellence, was the Adventure Story that Tsuruya-san had written. Every single one who read her romp of a short story entitled "Hard Cheese! The Tragedy of Boy N" had to hold his side in laughter. I, myself, had laughed so hard that tears came out. That there was such an amusing tale in this world―――I had this feeling for a long time after that. The only one who read it and didn't even move a muscle on her face was Nagato, but that slapstick story in Tsuruya-san's lively writing style was so funny, that I wondered if even Nagato would secretly read it in her own room and let out a few giggles.

[Ithekro]

Hmmm...so Tsuruya's story is likely the basis for "Nyoro~n-san".

[bhl88]

It can't be... it must be another hidden story of Tsuruya-san
