Alas, after looking for three days, I find it only to be beaten to the punch. While I was mistaken that it was a series, I knew it was the first novel to win the grand prize since Haruhi.

There was a confirmation that Tanigawa was writing the 10th novel, but it was a while ago and I'm starting to become suspicious already.

Kadokawa won't simply drop Haruhi. Why would they do that? The fans would be inconsolable. Personally I believe the light novels will take really long to be finished, and there may be even a change of animation studio, but it won't end anytime soon.

I really hope they animate the drama CD, Sound Around, and Haruhi theater, as well. These are some of my favourite stories, and seeing the SOS brigade in medieval clothes would be hilarious.

I've been an anime fan since 2004, and people always say that the industry is in crisis, even when it's blooming. So, there's no way this supposed crisis is so strong. In the worst case scenario, anyway, there will always be anime in Japan.

My shot-in-the-dark prediction...

There will either be a new Haruhi anime season by Winter 2011, or one Haruhi movie per year (until the source material is caught up to/exhausted) if that's the route Kadokawa/KyoAni decides to go.

Just a slightly educated guess on my part.

Haruhi theater at least (I'm not sure about Sound Around) would probably be a good OAD/ONA like Haruhi-chan, since they aren't really canon to go with the tv series. I suspect that Kadokawa might not want to animate some of the later novels until more gets written (judging by the background characters and things we've seen already that tie into later novels), and that could be a good source of material.

Hmm, this is an interesting speculation. I think book 7 certainly could be made into a movie-

Spoiler for w00t:


As for the rest of the material:

Books 9 and 10 would have to be handled very delicately by the studio to make a good movie out of it, but the payoff could be huge. It's a very interesting sci-fi premise and would continue the Haruhi franchise's tradition of presenting non-linear stories and challenging anime genre conventions. On that note, I could see 9 and 10 being awkward in an episodic format, and possibly leading fans to accuse Kadokawa of more E8 trickery. A movie format with the higher budget would help that story a lot.

The rest of the material doesn't seem cohesive enough in my mind to make into another movie or to run as a season all on its own, soooo what could they do? Exactly what they did with BLR, E8 and Sighs: Run it as a sort of 'bonus' mini-season to keep up the hype for the franchise, provide the necessary backstory to compliment the upcoming movies (ie. Melancholy of Asahina Mikuru pre-book 7 the way BLR and E8 did for Disappearance), and handle the less adaptable works in a format that lets them stand on their own and take up a meaningful spot in the narrative.

Also, great avatar. Too bad about Canada's performance against the US. D:

Another option for Novel 6/8 material would be OVAs, like what Shana is having right now. Just a few stand-alone episodes spread out a lot.

This isn't really KyoAni/Kadokawa's style, really, but it might work well if Novels 7 and 9 get the movie treatment.

Glad you like the avatar!

As for Canada... oh well, if they beat Germany, they face Russia, and that will be a great game!

Asakura's new country against DemitryEV's country... whoever will DemitryEV root for?

Yes, this will be great game, if they beat Germany of course. Let strongest will win!
I will root for Russia.

On topic:

IMHO, it would be better if Kyoani will make TV series, not OVA from other novels.

a few specials would be nice, but not all material should be made into ova.

What fansubs have done is enable people outside of Japan to be able to find shows they otherwise would not have seen (like Haruhi) and support them by buying other merchandise. As I've posted before, I'm buying the R2 Haruhi DVDs, and have ordered the Gensou DVD, and the Disappearance/ENOZ CDs as well as the guidebook. I plan to get a R1 copy of the new episodes so I can understand the extra features and complete that set as well.

If I had not been able to originally watch the fansubs, I wouldn't have purchased the limited edition R1 DVDs, much less what I've already bought, so there are people like me and TMISDR who would likely not have bought any merchandise if they hadn't been pirated from TV broadcasts.

Also think about other merchandise such as figures and toys for other various shows. I know of several people on another board who buy tons of Japanese Kamen Rider and Super Sentai toys that would not have been possible unless fansubs were not available.

Piracy isn't always a bad thing. Will there be people who won't buy anything, yes! But those people will always and have always existed. Enthrall people with a quality product and they will support the show regardless of cost. It's also a two-way street. If you really like a show, buy something for it, even if it's a single or a figure to show your support.
I'm not sure about the actual figures, but I have a feeling why Haruhi can be such a great success despite the predominance of piracy and fan-subs is because the profits earned from the merchandise is way, way higher than the loss of profits from piracy. This similarly should be the case for other animes as well. There are a variety of spill-over effects from the launch of the anime. I agree with Megax-san in that there will always be free-loaders who simply watch the anime and not contribute anything towards the earnings. But for each free-loader there will almost certainly be another hardcore fan who buys figurine after figurine, DVDs after DVDs and trading cards after trading cards (that's me). So I really don't buy the whole 'piracy-is-causing-the-anime-industry-to-suffer' theory. Hollywood suffers from piracy because they do not have merchandise to profit from other than DVDs.

That said, anyone knows what are the major names in animation these days? I know KyoAni is one, but any others?

Apparently, Tanigawa is 'readying the novel for publication'. I don't know what that can mean. Maybe settling promotions for the novel or something?

I haven't followed any of the official Haruhi releases outside of the anime and light novels, so I can't judge the awesomeness of the drama CD and Haruhi theater. Mainly because I don't understand anything without subs

So what exactly is this crisis people are talking about? I'm lost on this point.

My, my. The plot sounds pretty dull to me so far, but the animation shown in the video given by the link stirs my interest. Last time I watched something distinctly like this it was in Bakemonogatari (but their animation techniques and style are pretty hard to follow, to be honest), so I'm looking forward to seeing what Kadokawa and KyoAni, the backers of Haruhi, can do with this light novel.

Given your new avatar and the ongoing Olympics, I was wondering what on Earth has Asakura got to do Canada when I realized that she's technically a Canadian now

Wonder if she can fit in if she really went over there, though

Sunrise is still probably one of the biggest names in anime, and I'm sure Gainax is up there, as well. Can't really say much for other studios, though.

The drama CD has been available on YT off and on for a while, and Haruhi Theatre was an official side-story published in the sneaker. Both have English translations available. (Rather, both did have them. Theatre kinda went down with the rest of the Baka-Tsuki translation project. )

No, but Haruhi theater can be considered canon. It was written by Tanigawa himself, and I believe there's nothing that contradicts the novels.

The names I'm most familiar with are KyoAni, J. C. Staff, Madhouse, and SHAFT, but there must be others as well.

I dunno, wasn't it an immersion RPG virtual reality thing? I'm not even sure where it would fit in the timeline, and seems to be more of a sidestory that isn't really meant to be part of the main story, even if it doesn't necessarily contradict canon.

Either way, because of what Haruhi Theater is, it's a great candidate for an OAD/ONA, especially considering the last two sets of tv episodes and how they were put together.

Yeah... Not contradicting the novels and written by the author doesn't mean it's canon. Having the characters play completely different characters in completely different settings from the novels kinda means it isn't.

I agree.

Haruhi Theater was kind of fun, but the SOS Brigade (except Kyon, perhaps) felt a bit out of character to me there.

But it was referred to in SMS, IIRC.
