Yes, its the real video.

[WanderingKnight]

So? Where's that announcement?

[Kaoru Chujo]

It's 126mb because it's 22:50 long, the same length as an anime episode, more or less. I don't know which is more amazing: that KyoAni and Kadokawa would come up with another startling piece of viral marketing like this, or that I would watch it all the way through, wondering what Haruhi was berating him with, or who the actors are. I think there is a small chance that is indeed Aaya and Sugita. That would help explain why they used someone who looks older than a middle-schooler.

Seems way beyond what is necessary (length wise)....exactly what I imagined therefore. I knew what they doing about 15 seconds in so I stopped it and sort of predicted it to begin with actually as I've gotten used to how Haruhi related videos work.

It's yet again obviously for the fans of the novel as well judging by the location of the video online and it's nature. Only a fan is going to know what is going on, but anyone else will probably turn it off in the first couple minutes. Therefore it's not so much a trailer/commerical/advertisement what have you as another treat for the hardcore fans (who must be letting their belts out about now)who were already going to watch it anyway.

It's quite possible that this WAS the announcement. It wouldn't surprise me as the last time we got an "announcement" it was the Konata going "Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~!" one.

Can someone make that into an avi or something? My Flash player got screwed up somehow and I can't get any sound on Flash videos (which is everything in the Internet).

There's no sound for it anyway. Well... som buzz when it switches camra views but thats all.

[NeoSam]

Pretty weird, but what would you expect from Suzumiya Haruhi promo >.< lol

[Midonin]

So it begins. Looking forward to more from here.

I had something similar happen on my system -- although YouTube and so on still work in the browser. But I find I can play downloaded flash videos with VideoLan player.

The length does seem a bit excessive, but I haven't seen it yet, so I can't say much regarding the soundness of this decision. Heck, it's almost an episode in its own right at that length.

[Kaoru Chujo]

Just to make it clear: I thought it was great. There is a value in experiencing something like this that you just can't get from any number of ordinary advertisements or even anime episodes. This is actual art, unlike most things one sees. KyoAni and Kadokawa are thinking outside the box. If one stays inside the box of ordinary anime or ordinary commercials, one can't appreciate it.

Not that this needs to be repeated any time soon. Once is enough. But for me those were 22 minutes better spent than 90% of anime episodes I can think of. I think you have to pay close attention to enjoy it, though, watching all the details and wondering what's going on and what's going to happen next. I expect that it was done by Yamakan, the original director of Lucky Star, who also did the three-minutes-of-Yuki-reading Haruhi episode, which I also thought was great.

I am a sucker for this kind of thing, though, so your mileage can obviously vary. I've spent a lot of time watching excruciatingly boring/interesting things like this in art galleries.

Spoiler for For those of us who have not read the books:

Bamboo leaf rhapsody... is this a sign for the Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya? I sure hope so!!!!!! I want more Asakura Ryoko!

[Kisuke06]

The trailer was OK but 22 minutes? Hell, I watched just 5 minutes and then I gave up...

[cardslash02]

So there has been no official announcement, just this video, I take it?

And did anyone notice that they choose today, the seventh of July, also known as the Tanabata festival in Japan to make this video??? Pretty smart of them...
