I didn't like episode 12 very much...not a lot happened until the songs, which were a bit too emo for my liking. Was interesting to see Yuki on guitar though
 I hope the final two are more action-packed.

I didn't watch much of the show, but wasn't that what Mahoro said in the ending theme to Mahoromatic? I don't have the ending theme readily available to check though, so it may not be that, but that was the first thing I thought of when I saw that quote. |

No. What Mahoro said was えっちなのはいけないと思います！ (Ecchi nano wa Ikenai to Omoi masu!; All Dirty Thoughts Are Bad!) |

So how long is the series? I mean to ask that after the first 14 episodes (or first volume...I think  ), the next "season" (volume) will start and will be a continuation of where volume one ended? This may be a silly question but just want to clear things up in my cloudy head.....

From my understanding, the 14 episodes of the series is supposed to be a combination of all of the volumes of the book.
I'm not sure tho, just my understanding. |

What do you mean "all of the volumes of the book"? Each volume IS a book.
Anyway, the TV series covers the first book and parts of the second and/or third book, I believe. I know it covers the first book and parts of some other books, I just don't know which one(s). |

Well, it's complicated. The novels have a few major storylines with minor stories interspersed between them. The anime has really only covered one of the storylines (but even that's kind of misleading, I'll explain in the spoiler box below): spoiler[The main storyline of the anime is of course the first novel "The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi", thus the name of the show. When the name of a specific episode contains "The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi" it is part of that main storyline. Episode 2 of the series is called "The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi I", for instance. That episode literally shows the beginning of the first book. The second book, "The Sighs of Suzumiya Haruhi", is about the making of the student film. The result of the events in the second novel is of course "The Adventures of Asahina Mikuru" which was the very first episode of the anime. So we haven't seen all the crazy stuff from the second novel that went into the actual creation of that film; we've just seen the final product. Some of the other novels, like Volume 3 "The Boredom of ..." and Volume 5 "The Delusions of ..." are really collections of short stories. We've seen most of Vol. 3 (Episodes 4, 6, 7, 8) and individual chapters from Vol. 5 (Episode 11) and Vol. 6 (Episode 12). Episode 9 is a new story written for the anime by Tanigawa Nagaru.] There is plenty of material left. Most of the second novel COULD be shown but would seem pretty redundant; for that reason I think they'll skip over it. That leaves at least two major storylines still untouched along with plenty of the shorter stuff (and some of that is very important to the overall Haruhi universe). I would say they have enough to make a full 24-26 episode series if they wanted, or two more shorter series, and the novels aren't done yet. One interesting fact: There are things shown in some of the later episodes that reference events from the unadapted novels/ stories (Episode 9, "Someday in the Rain") and even in the ED (when the girls are shown enjoying oden while Kyon is dressed up like a deer). It's evidence of how much effort went into planning out the episode order for this series, and (hopefully) a glimpse of what they want to do in the future. |

Oh, I get it now! Thanks Sphinx.
Now any one have an idea on how much total episodes will be released? So far i know of the first 14...I just want this series to be long and full of comic mischief, with a deep strong story line, of course. But any ways, it was pretty good so far
P.S. I tend to like VERY long Animes (in terms of episodes), so I have something to do rather than sitting down doing nothing....

coolmac11: AniDB says it's only a 14 episode series.
I like long series too but this doesn't look to be one of them. |

This show may only be 14 episodes, but that doesn't mean they can't just make a second season later like they did with shows like Ah My Goddess
I'm convinced this will only be 14 episodes, but from what everyone is saying, I'm starting to think they'll make a second season or OVAs. |

If the show is anywhere near as popular in Japan as it appears to be, a second season is a no-brainer.

 One translation I can think of for the line as abunai presented it is "If I became 'ecchi', I wonder if I can become an adult?", or to put it more smoothly, "Will being 'ecchi' make me an adult?" Feel free to insert your own interpretations of "being ecchi" - I've never heard it with the verb naru (become), though I have heard it with the verb suru (do), in Sexfriend and SaiKano, where "doing ecchi" = "doing 'it' "

Isn't it more of a statement, and not really a question? The way I've seen "ka na" used, it seems to be something like "I wonder" or "don't you think?" The way I see it, it's more like a "Question Statement", a sort of a rhetorical question in a way. Like Zalis said, being "ecchi" can range from "being perverted" to "doing it," and I have no idea what it means in this context. The statement could perhaps even mean, "Hmm...if I lose my virginity, will I become an adult..."
"ecchi...shinai?" Boy, what a blunt way to put it. |

Not that the official site can be relied upon for an official episode count, but when one does the thing where you select all the text on the activity log page (http://www.haruhi.tv/activitylog.html), we see 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-11 (for now, I assume it will be updated to 10-12 soon). The next one listed, which is hidden, is 13-15. Now, as I said, given that it has hidden episode numbers up to 15,498 this may not have any significance, but one can only hope they throw in an extra episode to surprise people (I dont know how common/easy/hard that would be to do).
Also, any hints on who may license it and when? |
