Okay, let's move all the current discussion about the new novels to the Surprise thread. To help that out, I'm going to close this thread for the day.
Thank you. EDIT: Thread re-opened! And remember: novel 10 & 11 discussion has its own thread for spoilers. Last edited by CrowKenobi; 2011-05-22 at 22:14. |

Technically, this would have been less than a year before Melancholy begins, so the difference between "drool at Haruhi in Melancholy" and "drool at Sasaki in Rainy Day" is a matter of numbers rather than a visible difference in appearance--I mean teenagers don't change that much visually in a single year unless it's the year in which they cross the puberty divide.

Anyone knows a safe, and understandable site (english preferible) to buy volume 10 and 11?............I'm thinking of buying them, and having them translated by some translation service company, or whoever I can find, because there is no way the novels will be fan translated, right?

Keep in mind that the level of squick involved is all relative. Yes, the middle school "Tanabata Haruhi" was no more than 13 (probably only 12), but even the oldest primary character in the series, Tsuruya, is only 17, and that's only as of late, as she started the series at 16, like any normal Japanese second-year high schooler (I don't count Mikuru or the data interfaces in the discussion, as we don't know exactly how old she is in either form, and they are presumably all much younger than they appear). Over the majority of the series, most of the characters haven't been any older than 15, which makes them just as much jailbait in most countries as Imouto-chan (who certainly has her share of..."enthusiasts")...

The fanbook is as it says: a guide to the novel series. It'll feature some things from the new novels as well as some unreleased items from Tanigawa and Itou.
Today the official website updated with a new webpage. It states "Pray with Haruhi. When 15,498 desires come together, something good is bound to happen!". The referred site allows you to send a message to the site (with one of the main SOS Brigade characters if wanted) or you can tweet your wish with the official hashtag #haruhinegai. Edit: It's not worth a new post, but here's images of Vol 5 (Eng. version) that I received today: 2nd Edit: Overall I'd say the translation was well done. One mistake (switching between yen and dollars between stories) was all that I noticed. I did like the adaptation for Tsuruya to call Haruhi "Harls" instead of the original "Haru-nyan." Everything was put together well outside of that mistake. You should feel great in purchasing it!

And so.....
Here comes Surprise! Apparently there was a promotion for preordering the Chinese books, and I managed to do that in time. Just picked it up today. No Rainy Day, there is something awesome... Spoiler for something awesome...:
EDIT: Not sure if this is a spoiler, should I add it to the *official* thread?

"Selling well" would be an understatement for the latest set of Haruhi novels. This is far from official (those numbers will be out Wednesday) but I'm hearing some GREAT news on the status of stores in Japan with the LE set.
To begin, I've heard rumors that some stores have already sold out of the set and some are already running low. The Melonbooks in Akiba is already down to half of their original set by the end of sales on Friday and Gamers's head store has gotten rid of the double screw seen here and has had a decent chunk taken from the base as seen here. Then we have this blog post by a bookstore. They've checked and they sold approximately over 40% of their allotted stock on the first day alone. That one store has sold over 2000 copies of everything Haruhi already (manga, novels, extras, etc). What's even better is the clientele coming in and purchasing the set. Not only do you have men and women, you have salerymen, office ladies, housewifes, high schoolers, middle schoolers and more. They didn't have a break at all during that first day. They are highly concerned that they won't be able to make it through the weekend with their stock. Kadokawa has already told that store that it's incredibly unlikely that they'll be sending more stock of the LE. I'm incredibly eager to see what the first week sales will be.

Does this mean we're going to get another Season of Haruhi? (hopefully with higher budget animation than the last one...)
Also. Someone NEEDS to find a high quality raw of that long image of all the rerelease Haruhi novels. The one featuring all the characters. I'm so annoyed that I haven't found a bigger version of that. |
