Either way its very strange, and absolutely unwarranted, I mean i might be a barbarian gaijin, but I insulting any members on our forum for no reason means WA-! sorry, i meant it's very sad.

I'd be very scared if you go off declaring WA- on 2ch. Japanese 2ch hackers have been known to utterly overload and shutdown websites that don't suit their fancy

2chは最高だよ！私たちを攻めないで...

(I was about to commit the heinous crime of making sense of what I see in fiction. Thank goodness I snapped out of it ><)

Spoiler:

I was just dumbfounded over how that pulling a 'Hilbert effect' is no trivial matter in Xenosaga and how this is duplicatable with any mean...

The Japanese hackers are something. Actually the whole of Asia-Pacific has seen great many skirmishes between hackers all over, whether they be from China PR, S. Korea, Taiwan or even HK. Things as simple as defaming a webpage portal to all out DoS happens whenever tensions run high over the China sea.

And they have the nerve to call us "barbarians"

Well I finally managed to get some more progress on my reading.. and hopefully when the actual physical novels (what am I reading now? *whistles innocently*) arrive tomorrow it'll move along faster. Staring at the screen continually is taking its toll.. X_X In any case... finally Tsuruya-san got introduced and I'm quite digging her character. Not as uber-genki as Haruhi but that machine-gun fire speech pattern!

I've seen the first volume of the original manga... It's not that good. My understanding from this forum is that the original manga was far enough off kilter that it's been dismissed into non-existance. There's a term for it that's totally escaping me atm.

Simply put: It's so awful, it is considered to be non-existent.

The new manga (in theory) is starting from the beginning of vol1 and telling the story from scratch. (I haven't seen the new manga, but that's what I've managed to skim from these boards). My understanding is that the new manga is doing a much better job at staying faithful to both the flow of the storyline, as well as maintaining the character designs. Something that other manga didn't do very well at all.

Unfortunately, even this remake is looking kinda bland now, compared to the anime.

Does anyone want me to do a light novel synopsis similar to the one I have in the "Full Metal Panic!" section?

There is no third version of Suzumiya Haruhi manga.
When I say new manga, I mean the second Suzumiya Haruhi manga thats currently running in Shounen Ace magazine (And the first manga is the one that failed, but it doesn't exist so in reality it didn't fail LOL)

That would be great but I'm not sure how many are interested in reading them, since it might spoil the anime >.<

Sorry but I just have to say something...

Personally, I'm into the "Haruhi" in volume 4 myself, she totally had a Shana-aura around her... well, for about _ seconds anyway. You'll see what I mean when you get there. ^^; "Yuki" was also totally too.

Lets see.. about 170 pages left before I get to vol. 4 Speaking of which I'm kinda relieved that vol.4 looks thinner than all the other vols!

Spoiler for Other things about Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody:

Normal causal relationships completely thrown out the window with this one! lol I really like that quote Itsuki made at the end about the importance and worth of the King vis-a-vis the Queen in chess. The most obvious metaphor that it brings up is King -> Kyon, Queen -> Haruhi.

And... it will be revealed later on how Haruhi knows the phrase "I am here" in an alien language right?

Well, the background pictures of my signature are from the (2nd)manga . You can tell that the mangaka did a good job imitating the original illustrator's style.

Yes, indeed. I seriously thought that Ito Noizi drew the manga. The style used in the manga is so similar to Ito Noizi's style.

Talking about the manga, i've noticed the raw manga of haruhi showing up on Bt sites.

interesting really, i mean someone could do a haruhi scanlation.....

not that im implying we could jump in, but it won't hurt to have a peek...ne..ne?

[moyism]

Personally I've rather have translations of the novel than the manga, since it seems the novel is a lot more richer in content.

... but I definitely wouldn't complain if a haruhi manga scanlation showed up one day
