Yeah, the OP/ED was much enjoyable. Fits the story theme beautifully. Have you got a storyboard for them yet?
Also, why don't someone rewrite the drama CDs? It would be much easier to produce. Mitsuuru: Do really have to dance!? Haruki: That's right. You'll be wearing a tube sock, Red Hot Chilli Peppers style! Make sure you do some pelvic thrusts! Mitsuuru: NNOOOO! |

o.o ... Um. A lot of good work has been done, here. The voice actor for Mitsuruu might make him a little less feeble. And the blackmail scene was just frightening! ^^;
There's another 'con in my area in May, so I might try it there if you guys don't find an animator or dedicated artist before then. Whoever tries to get someone online for this, I would recommend taking the very cream of fandom crop to show to them. Artists who show their work often already have their own agenda. |

I think I will try my hand at writing one in a couple of weeks. After I'm through these two weeks of hell (Two tests this week. An essay and two assignments for the next.). Any suggestions on what I could do?

I feel like editing everything all over again now that I hear those episodes.
But hot DAMN, that's AMAZING. EDIT: Holy Shit, Taniguchi is GREAT. EDITEDIT: Although I am beginning to dislike Haruki's voice... And damnit... he sounds like too much of an asshole. EDITEDITEDIT: God damnit, this is what I get for not editing those first chapters. And I really don't think the VA for Asakura is appropriate. COMPLAIN COMPLAIN COMPLAIN, it's all I know how to do.

And damn, I should get around to reediting those first chapters for consistency... Persona 3 is just so addicting, though... Quote:
I'm also gonna do a version of Knowing Me, Knowing You... also, can we get SOMEONE to translate the rest of the manga? Knowing there are other original stories is bugging me... |

Nitpick: Kyonko's VA is inconsistent with rolling her 'r's.
Nitpick: Haruki sounds perfect and somewhat off at the same time. Nitpick: Taniguchi sounds great. Nitpick: Same notes on Haruki on Kunikida. More nitpicks-that-might-not-actually-be-nitpicks later.

In my opinion, Haruki sounds a bit off. He sounds like one of those cliche heroes you see in shounen anime. The voice just kind of...irks me.
Ryou sounds a bit off, too. I don't know what exactly it is, but it doesn't really sound right... Kyonko sounds good. I like her voice. :] Yuuki sounds good, also. Taniguchi is perfect. Exactly how I pictured her to sound. No questions asked. Kunikida...I kind of pictured her voice to be higher, since she's a loli. It's kind of weird to me.

I'd agree with you that Haruki is becoming a Jerkass, but I think you might've misread the Jerkass trope...
Quote:
And NO, there really isn't a single "heart of gold" moment for Haruki. I mean I know, Haruhi was also a Jerkass, but I still think it was considerably less so than our current Haruki. I mean at this point, reading through the entire thing from the beginning, I don't see how people could even stand reading about Jerkass Haruki. Just skip to all the parts with Kyonko/Itsuko/Yuuki/Mitsuuru. |

No, read the trope again. What you're referring to is Jerkass Stu.
(Hilariously, reading through that, that's exactly how Haruki views himself. All the better.) The Jerkass trope gives Tomo Takino as an example, and Azuma clearly intended her to be one. There's this big war on the Haruhi Just Bugs Me page whether or not Haruhi is an evil sociopath or a Jerkass that undergoes character development. Quote:
She's a horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible bitch to everyone and everything throughout the entire story up until (chronologically) Live Alive. I haven't gotten to that part yet. And no, I'm not changing his behaviour at all. If he is more intolerable because he's male, THAT'S A GOOD THING. That's the point. By your logic, since they do the same things, we all should hate Haruhi too. |

It's fine.
Haruki is supposed to be like this. And he will get better, just like Haruhi did. After all, Double Standard, right? Quote:
Oh, and for novel readers, I found this interesting theory about Vol. 10 on TV Tropes: Quote:

I didn't really pay that much attention to (or edited) the beginning chapters when Haruki is completely unapproachable.
And I should've been more specific. I've already tried so far to keep his gigantic assholeness in check in my edits, but what I'm referring to at the moment is when Kyonko first meets Haruki. In that entire portion of the story, he is an incredible prick beyond all measures. But I agree that we should make Haruki a Jerkass (for lack of a better term) TO A POINT. And... the Jerkass Stu would only apply if you are purposely making him to be a Jerkass so that you can derive some pleasure from insulting characters in-universe. And I already consider Haruhi and Haruki as Mary Sue/Gary Stu, so that's covered. A Jerkass character is NOT meant to be hated, but accepted as another part of the cast, albeit a particularly negative/unpleasant one, it's just that creator's miscalculate their unpleasantness and the audience starts hating their guts. EDIT: I love reading Haruhi theories cause they just get so damn crazy. |
