In anime, it's usually only one or more of the top antagonists that gets to enjoy being such a character. It's rather refreshing to see these qualities in the main protagonist in an anime show. Particularly when that main protagonist is female (you could make an argument that Goku, Monkey D. Luffy, and a few other anime main protagonists are a bit similiar to Haruhi in the ways that I mentioned, but Haruhi really stands alone as a main female protagonist that's like this). The title "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" does seem a bit odd to me given how Haruhi's character develops, but it's certainly true that she's melancholic before the SOS Brigade really gets into gear. After it, though, she's one of the more cheerful anime main protagonists around. |

Not sure where should post this; or it's been posted?
anyway, for you who can read Japanese and have niconico account, while waiting for SHnY second season you can enjoy the SHnY gaiden, English dub version with Japanese subtitles (the gaiden story). Though lot of explicit words, it's really funny and I think the story is quite well written. I wonder if someone will make the English version of it with Japanese audio, of course. OK, here's the links http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm2069673 ← SHnY I http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm2161712 ← SHnY II

I haven't read any of the novels at all, so it's cool to know this now. It does explain the title of the anime a bit better. |

In reality, it's because they didn't have the time or money to keep animating it, though this has changed as they have become more mainstream and popular. And there are more episodes coming out, probably in July or October this year. |

And season 2 (at this point) is anybody's guess. |

I realize that Haruhi was scheduled for a 14 episode series, but because KyoAni couldn't afford to make it longer. |

Though, I'm thinking it's the quality issue more than money, and K2K6 laid the groundwork for their foray into 2-cour series. |

I have a question that I hope someone can answer. At the end of the second episode revolving around the island murder mystery, when they're riding the ferry back to the mainland, Itsuki is staring very intently at what turns out to be a hairy mole on Kyon's neck. What was up with that? Just Itsuki 'drinking in the sights', or was it meant to be something more sinister? I almost thought it was some kind of mark on Kyon ... ^^;
