The Spice and Wolf adaptation was terrible, and if the novels are anything similar I'm not interested.

Isn't FMP on hiatus too? Or is it just that Gatou can't wrap up the bloody story arc?

typhonsentra · 2008-10-11, 16:48

I.... strongly disagree about S&W and will leave it at that. FMP, I think the final book is scheduled to come out soon.

So it's confirmed as the final book then?

If that's true, then good. One more series to put a cap on.

Ithekro · 2008-10-11, 17:04

I do wonder if it will be the final book, or just the final book of the main plot (end of the serious plotlines). But have an openning for the comedy plot lines to continue (more Fumoffu like side material). If it ends with death then it ends. If it ends with graduation, it ends. If the remaining characters can go back to school when things are over...then the side plotlines can continue.

It would help to know what are your taste or what are you looking for if you what valable advice for other light novel to choose.

Un1234l · 2008-10-12, 23:51

1 year and 4 months has passed since it's supposed original release date. Must be a big book. Or it contains super mindgames ala Death Note.

Writing 2 different storylines and making them consistent, while keeping it entertaining...

Dear Lord.

tehjoker · 2008-10-13, 10:33

What's this thread about again?

ijuinkun · 2008-10-14, 03:25

At present, speculations about "Suzumiya Haruhi no Kyougaku", the second part to the story begun in "Suzumiya Haruhi no Bunretsu", which was originally scheduled to have been released summer 2007, but which currently has no announced release date.

Me thinks the author didn't plan this out very well...

Jintor · 2008-10-14, 21:17

Or perhaps, he planned it out so well that he was forcibly abducted by MJ12 Agents and kept in a secret holding facility, where he still languishes to this day.

Or maybe he hit writer's block.

I don't know, I heard somewhere that had a massive timeline that he had written everything onto and that he had known the ending since the beginning. But I can't source anything, so it's all rumour at this point.

M.Marangio · 2008-10-17, 05:10

Yen Press will present the first english manga volume (release date in October 2008) at the Kinokuniya Bookstore in New York City on October 18.

I hope that they will say something about the novel too.

Edit: The release date is October 28 according to some sites, e.g. amazon.com.

Oyajitchi · 2008-10-17, 22:57

Does anyone know the release date of the Haruhi manga by Yen Press besides the Kinokuniya Bookstore?
Because of course I am busy that day and won't be able to participate...

I told myself NOT to read it illegally on ANY manga site until the first volume of the manga is released...why?...because Yen Press is just so darn awesome~~~!

Considering the way the previous book ends, I don't see there being much room for Fumoffu-style hijinks after the next book. There's strong hints that The Reset Button will be pushed in a big way...

As for Haruhi, I see some sort of reset in their Volume 10 as well, albeit nowhere near as drastic...

That related to your prediction on B-T a year ago?

Not necessarily. I think it's a pretty safe bet that one of the two timelines started in 9 will end one way or another in 10 (either by absorption, or destruction, or excision), and should there be any crossover between the two (again a safe bet, if we do in fact have a slider who needs to prove her abilities like the rest of the SOS did), then there will undoubtedly be some level of reset when someone (either a Kyon or the audience) ends up all of a sudden in a situation where what just happened five minutes ago/two chapters ago/etc. never happened after all.

I'd defecate auric feces if said "prediction" came true, though... ^_^

God, has it been a year?

Yes, it has... sad, isn't it?

ClockWorkAngel · 2008-10-21, 23:17

Time passes quickly nowadays... the whole thing is quite sad

God, so many delay, just tell us a reason, we don't care if it's a lie, if it is, we'll have a reason to complain rather than the old old topic of "When is it going to come out?!"

Imagine the Haruhi Suzumiya novels becoming a household name for everyday, preteen girls!

. . . *facepalm*

Tyabann · 2008-10-22, 17:05

...It's seinen...

Actually, it really doesn't have a demographic, but it's still rather male oriented, what with the fanservice and male narration.

It's not something I can see tweenage girls enjoying...

Oh well, at least I get my non-retard hardcover version.
