The Genderbending of Haruhi Suzumiya [Spoilers Aplenty]

[Kogetsu Shirogane]

Junior high was 7 and 8 for me... Moved about halfway through grade seven, and the district I finished it in had it going from 5th to 8th. This kind of thing is probably better suited for the usergroup, though.

What you would call Hight School means literaly "middle teatching". And college can be be called "superior teatching".

Oh, interseting. We have Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Education, with Primary (5-12; Kindergarden - Grade Six) and Secondary (12-18, Grade Seven to Grade Twelve) being compulsary, and Tertiary (Uni/College) non-compulsary.

In anycase, we're wildly off topic.

Oi, wittyusername, you didn't celebrate your birthday with us! Don't we mean anything to you? Oh well, happy-whenever-your-birthday-was!

On topic... on topic... What does Kyonko see in that Haruki? Especially before their equivalent of Live Alive...

[Kogetsu Shirogane]

According to Kaisos, she doesn't take a personal interest in him until... either after that or somewhere around the start of their second year. I forget which it was.

[dragon4dudes]

Um... Uh... Can I leave it at that?

I see. This is in Australia right?

Her birthday was in Octuber, if I am not mistake. The same day as Brazilian childrens day - Oct12

Actually, if I am not mistake, it was after Live Alive. Whe it would make sense, actually. What could have happened in the begining of the Second Year? There is nothing officialy writen yet (it just begun in Vol.9 right?).

*ahem*

Let's actually clear up this whole mess about Canada's school system, no?

It actually depends on local school district to implement any of the following:
Kindergarten -> Elementary School (Grades 1 - 7) -> High School (Grades 8 - 12)
Kindergarten -> Elementary School (Grades 1 - 7) -> Junior High School (Grades 8 - 9, and for some, 10) -> Senior High School (Grades 10 - 12)

My own district (in fact, the whole Lower Mainland to be exact, for Kaisos it would be different) is in system 1. And up until recent years, Ontario (and Ontario only, I seriously wanted to know what they're thinking) had Grade 13, which is pretty much prep for post-secondary.

Yeah, that's what Kaisos said. I was just trying to find something on-topic to say.

It'll be interesting to see how Kyonko and Haruki interact with each other in the main universe. If she hasn't really taken a liking to him yet (because the VN is before Live Alive), but he's pretty much destroying the Seitenkan universe because she isn't around anymore...

Just to prove you wrong, no, you can leave school at yr 10, lol.

All you need is your School Cert, you don't need your Higher School Cert.

Ontopic:

And it SHOULD be after Live Alive.

Twould make more sense, cos otherwise, well, it's retarded if she's still THAT ignorant of his love.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. 's what happens when you're on a higher expectations tier.

Actually, until the year after I left high school, my district used the exact same system as Japanese high schools.

Awkward, yes.

Although they do actually hook up in one of the bad ends, believe it or not... Thank Heatth for giving me the idea, actually.


By the way, Bad Ends! They have names now!

The one you get by tying points with everyone is called "New Century", the one you get for having NO points is "Burly Brawl", and the default bad end you get for not having enough flags (the one most players will get on their first playthrough) is called "Life Goes On..."

In addition, the demo will have a special bad end tentatively called "A Brief History of the World Up Till Now" which I intend to have a lot of fun with.

My random comments, complains and ideas were useful after all! Glad to hear that. Also, do you realize this is a precedent for me be generally more annoying then usual?

Btw, considering one Bad End is like that, the other routes suddenlly appear more nice now.

Speaking on that, how does these Bad Ends work? They are not full routes, but aren't simple "you died, start again from Day X" either right? How long they are?

[Jintor]

As long as Kaisos or the relevant author feels like making them, I'm guessing.

Not nearly as long as full routes, but they're routes.

Also, someone had better get the "New Century" thing or it'll have been a waste to translate.

Have a few guesses, but no idea if any are right.

• Evangelion reference?
• Song by Shuujin, which sings of going up in an elevator with seemingly no end, and how it's not really different from normal human life?
• Some sort of horrible kanji pun on "shinseiki" (新世紀)?

I see. They are pretty long then.

[dragon4dudes]

Don't all routes pretty much elapse the first 4 whole days?

Routes are technically Day 7 and onwards.

The game takes place between September 1st and September 26th, by the way.

Shouldn't you say "Day 6 onward"? Even if this day is very similar no matter the route, it still has some difference right? That is why the route is defined on Day5 right?

September 1st to September 26th eh? Hmmm, September 11th would be too early for something happen in any route then, a pitty.

[Tyabann]

Er.

Anyway, Day 6 is the same for every route aside from which girl Kyon hangs out with... well, the ends are different for Divine and CoOp, but they're still pretty much the same outcome.

Day 7 is where things diverge.
