The Novel and Manga of Haruhi Suzumiya

[Khu]

Current rate it'll be released in 6 months...;_;

[Kunagisa]

Honestly though, if you've waited this long you probably wouldn't mind a couple more years. Pretty sure he'll get this done before he dies <__<.

[Airman8]

Just wishing everyone here a happy Tanabata.

This is a long shot. Haruhi Theater 3 - Bullet of Steel should be out in Aug. Sneaker (i.e. late June). Anyone here seen it in the wild, in whichever language?

It's the third part in a ... uhm ... spin-off? I guess? The SOS Dan are in an immersive RPG or something. One part was a medieval fantasy village scenario, the other took place in space, I think.

So this is a visual novel/manga/game? What is sneaker, a monthly magazine?

Haruhi Theater is a short story series. Not a VN, manga, OR game.

The Sneaker is a bimonthly light novel magazine published by Kadokawa: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sneaker (it's only a stub, though)

I'm gonna lol if it's been out for a while and us non-Japanese are just ignorant of it.

Haruhi theaters are loosely joined novel(ette)s written by Tanigawa himself, almost like official doujinshi. AFAICT they have little to do with, informative of, or affecting the canon (barely mentioned). I think they serve as seasonal pieces for the then marketing campaigns, and possibly basis for future OAV's.

Something to tie us over until the real thing comes along.

Act.1 & 2 are (fan) translated. This one is Act.3

I've been reviewing all the Japanese sites that I believe would have said something about a new installment of Haruhi Theatre in last week's The Sneaker. Neither The Sneaker or the Haruhi fansite have mentioned anything relating to a new installment. It would have been listed both on those sites as well as in the prior issue of the magazine. Since it was not listed (and 2ch only commented on the latest strips of Haruhi-chan), I believe it's not in this issue.

There were two special "anthology" books that were released last week as well (S Red and S Blue) which held past short stories in them. The first Haruhi Theatre was reprinted in S Blue, which may have led someone to think it was the next installment.

(Sorry for my deleted post, I wanted to conduct one more search and accidentally hit the delete post button)

To the above post.

That's what I call Quality Information.

I wonder if Kyon's the sheriff, or the deputy. Knowing how things usually are, he's probably the lowley deputy.

Spoiler for This answer protected by this SPOILER tag and encoded in an exotic language :3:

Con el sombrero de diez galones puesto… ¿Cómo debería de decirlo? De cualquier forma, yo y los otros cuatro vestidos al estilo del Oeste estábamos de pie en un camino sin pavimentar.

Yo no tenia nada más que decir excepto:

"Oh cielos..."

Lo que estaba en mi pistolera fue cambiado de una pistola de rayos a un simple revolver de acción, y Koizumi y yo llevábamos camisas y pantalones con tirantes fuera de moda con medallas de sheriff en nuestros pechos. Haruhi y Asahina-san fueron cambiadas de la misma forma que yo, y Nagato era una pistolera vagabunda de pies a cabeza.

Así que eso quiere decir…

"Hey, chicos."

Haruhi declaro con una sonrisa.

“Vayamos a rescatar al hijo e hija de una ranchero los cuales fueron secuestrados por unos rufianes buscados. Nosotros somos los valientes sheriff y asistentes peleando contra gente buscada y pendenciera.”

Y así nuestro espectáculo del Oeste--un verdadero espectáculo--comenzó.

[dragon4dudes]

Lol... Spanish, great. Something I really mastered reading.

That said...

Spoiler for Google Translate works pretty well on Arizonan:

With ten-gallon hat post ... How should I put it? Anyway, me and four other Western-style dresses were standing on an unpaved road.

I had nothing else to say except:

"Oh heavens ..."

What was in my holster was changed from a ray gun to a single action revolver, and Koizumi and I had shirts and trousers with suspenders unfashionable sheriff medals on our chests. Haruhi and Asahina-san were changed in the same way that I, a holster, and Nagato was wandering from head to toe.

So that means ...

"Hey, guys."

Haruhi said with a smile.

"Let's rescue the son and daughter of a rancher who were kidnapped by ruffians sought. We are the sheriff and assistants brave fighting and quarrelsome people wanted. "

And so our show the West - a real show - began.

And...

Spoiler for to clean it up a little with my own limited knowledge of the language:

With a ten-gallon hat... How should I put it? Anyway, I and the four others were standing in Western-style dress on an unpaved road.

I had nothing else to say except:

"Yare yare..."

What was in my holster had changed from a ray gun to a single action revolver, and Koizumi and I had shirts and trousers with suspenders, and unfashionable sheriff badges on our chests. Haruhi and Asahina-san were changed into the same fashion as I, and Nagato was a wandering gunman from head to toe.

So that means ...

"Hey, guys."

Haruhi said with a smile.

"Let's go rescue the son and daughter of a rancher who were kidnapped by wanted ruffians. We are the brave sheriff and deputies fighting against rowdy wanted men."

And so our show of the West - a real show - began.

Still doesn't explicitly answer the question.

Although, honestly, is there really any question at all as to who would be the sheriff of this ragtag posse?

(I do find it humorous, that taking the trip from Japanese, to Spanish, to English, with the last trip via an internet translator, Tanigawa's writing style still shines through...)

[Tyabann]

I thought his writing style was just an artifact of the way the novel had originally been translated.

Also that's an excerpt from the end of Theater 2.

Nah, because you get the same feeling from the official translations, which were translated much more traditionally. As different as Japanese and English grammar are, there are things that can carry through both.

For once, i'm glad to be born into the Spanish Language...
