And the whole affair is now over for the night, with Episode 01 up and running. From what I've seen on the AoD Haruhi forum, the release date for the first volume of four is May 29th, and there will be a special edition involved. I'm trying to get the episode to play on my end, but the whole thing is buffering extremely slow at the moment.
EDIT: Finally finished watching the video. I don't know if it was the university server playing games with me or what, but the wait was ridiculous. Sorry, rant over. I confirmed what posters on AoD remarked about earlier. The special edition appears to be an artbox which will have other unmentioned goodies. That was the extent of pertinent info revealed. It was kind of disappointing, but not surprising, that English cast info is still missing. I'm hoping that such information will be released sooner than later.

The special edition better have some really awesome goodies with it. I mean I'll most likely be buying it no matter what, but I want some extremely cool stuff to be in there.

Gee, although I agree with it, I kind of thought their little fansub rant near the ending of that video was unnecessary. I mean, 99% of the people who would even bother to watch the video are going to be buying it anyway. They don't have to ruin the video by directly telling me to buy it or else they'll cease to exist...

It had its funny moments. It's like they're trying to "recapture" the magic of the magical waitress time traveler Mikuru-chan Ep. 00.

I completely agree - I cringed at the fansub rant. While I do agree that not buying the R1 DVDs while continuing to download a series that has been licensed by an American licensor is disrespectful to the people who put hard work into animated productions, I don't think American anime fans not purchasing the DVDs will actually be taking food off of animators' tables. This is an overestimation of the foreign market for Japanese animation. Anyway, other than that, the video was pretty funny and enjoyable. |

I didn't mind the fansub bit. The downloaders/R1 purchasers get thanked again in the credits.
Also, they just posted torrents for the two ASOS "episodes" on Txxxx Txxxx. Of course, I downloaded them. 
(Wasn't sure if I'd get in ANN trouble for posting the site name.) :p |

[Apparently Mr.Sephiroth here is still a little sore after getting torn apart by Cloud twice now and decided to take it out on our friendly ANN forum patrons. Unfortunately he'll have to clean his mouth out with soap for awhile before giving it another go as this post was completely unacceptable]

Eh, I'm getting bored with all this little gimmick anyway. It wasn't that well executed from the beginning but it was a fun and cool thing to do the first time around. However, to follow Bandai like a dog on a leash by watching "episode" after "episode" of tidbits of information is just not my idea of a good time.
The important news is that the show is coming! I'm still in glee long after the news is old! [P.S. what's up with that troll above me?] |

Well, it's great to know that this series is going to come out over here, finally. I was shocked though when I asked one of my friends who's an anime freak if he's seen the series yet, and he hasn't even HEARD of Haruhi Suzumiya.
[OT] We can all thank Tony K. now because due to his cleaning up the forums, this thread is now the largest thread in the ANN nation

Unfortunately, the popularity of SHnY is restricted to Internet-savvy individuals (not necessary otaku or hikikomori). Most ippanjin ("normal people") still rely on TV heavily for anime information. This is the same all over the world: I asked the owner of my manga rental anout SHnY and none of them (two sisters and a brother) has heard about it. On the other hand, they told me that there's a sharp increase of Hana-Kimi rents after a live-action adaptation started airing on two channels in Taiwan. |

New poll on the ASOS site. This time they have a really "important" question:
I voted for Haruhi because I have really liked some of the figures that have come out. Now the question is, is this just a fun poll or might they be asking questions to see what extras they might add the the volume 1+artbox? |

No Tsuruya in that poll? Damn, I like her so much in that bunny outfit. Anyway, I voted Haruhi, but thinking about it I should have voted Kyon. Just thinking about how he'd be happy to win a poll like that! And seriously Kyon in a bunny suit...

I was going to vote for Yuki but Haruhi looks better in a bunny suit, Yuki looks better in a cat suit.
