What would you define as a "true artist"? I still think the simplest explanation is that they really though they were being clever with all the gimmicks and such and have come to realize that well.....the response was lukewarm at best. |

Oh boy, how the hell did I miss this? School work must have been getting to me at last. Or maybe it's the new relationship distracting me.
Nevertheless, great news, and just as I thought they'd do it too! Looking forward to it mightily. |

I'm trying to think of a way to say this without sounding condescending, but Tanigawa is an entertainer of otaku long before he's a true artist.
I have to wonder at the polar opposite positions that some people can have while ironically aiming at the same goal of defending this series. One group will say that it's art and that's the reason behind the whole Endless Eight idea while another will say that it's just trying to be entertaining and thus people shouldn't get upset when it's marketed so aggressively and or doesn't live up to one's standards. Neither of them make much sense to me personally which is why I still go with the idea that they thought people in the west would all get on the bandwagon no matter what they did with the franchise, which was a reasonable expectation a few years ago during the peak of the franchises popularity, but as has been seen doesn't really work now. There are getting to be less and less guarantees in the industry now on many levels which means things are probably going to start changing soon. I hope it's for the better and that things start getting less otaku-centric as has been the trend for a while now. I agree that a good start is to try and reach out more to the west again instead of giving the impression that they consider it a lost cause. Namco Bandai I think has the best ideas so far in that regard with the simulcasting and consistently strong presence at North American anime conventions. Some easy/west mergers probably wouldn't be a bad idea either. Perhaps Bandai could partner up with Funimation in the mutual interest of saving the North American regions viability as a market. Anyway that's a lot to say for just a name drop, but I'm in a bit of thinking mood tonight so that's my splurge of text. |

However, Novel 4 is a very nice, tight, short read. Now, it's no Citizen Kane, but I felt it was a solid story that did a great job with the genre of sci-fi teenage drama. I still maintain that it's an awesome book for early-to-mid teens that are into sci-fi; I would have loved it when I was a Star Trek: TNG fan back in the early 90s as a Junior High student. At my current age, I like it a fair bit, but I can tell I would have liked it even more as a kid. What impresses me the most about Tanigawa is how good he is with handling plots, especially given how big a part time travel plays in Haruhi. I also like some of the quirky little stuff, like having Haruhi humming classical music of all things. Quote:

I think you're mistaking his narration and his thoughts for one another. While they do mix from time to time, the narration is almost always absent from the anime, save a few monologues in Melancholy and... well, the entirety of Episode 00.

I only heard of it today(i haven't watched Haruhi since the end of sighs). Man, this is going to be totally awesome. Movies = Win. Bigged budget, better animation, better everything(well... Hopefully). Besides, it's a nice way to show disappearance after so much waiting.

When I said "true artists don't dick around for the hell of it," it's because most true artists take their job seriously and only make changes to something if they think it'll improve it. ex. Pixar I probably criticized myself at a couple points.

But if you can't wait to watch Haruhi in the first place. Then go ahead. Haruhi is worth watching to say the least.

If its going to be a movie, I can expect the animation will be superb. They can take their time on this.
It was hilarious though there were so many users expecting to be brought into the series but having it placed into a MOVIE is so much AWESOME. It appreciates that Disappearances is one of the strongest Arcs, in my opinion. Glad they decided to do this anyways. |
