Okay, I thought of a theory, but it's probably incorrect. I have only watch the first 5 episodes (and lovin' it!). spoiler[I think Haruhi has a crush on Kyon. He says something about her hair, she makes a move. And in episode 5 (chronologically Episode 3) that Kyon has been "chosen" by Haruhi. By chosen, maybe they mean she likes him. And in episode 5 also, when they were drawing sticks (?) she never got Kyon, and she always acted angry and/or disappointed aferwards. But hey, I just thought of this a few minutes ago.] And also, this is an amazing series. I'll probably watch it all fansubbed, but I am most definetely buying the American DVDs. Who ever licenses it better do it right! |

I had to jump to the 2nd episode to make sure the whole thing didn't look like the 1st ep after it stuck with the crappy-looking-amateur-movie theme for several minutes. Once I found out that it was just the one ep, I went back & watched it.
This ended up being one of my top 5's, easily. I thoroughly enjoyed it. And now I love Mikuru's singing.

The first episode is an interesting attempt to try and get the characters out into the open, especially when you get the Super Director coming out in the end. I was confused at first but then as the episode progressed and I remembered the discussion of how this whole series is not aired in chronological order, it made sense all the way.

Do you know what would absolutely rock? If they did a full-length version of that movie. Extended it out just a bit because Haruhi wanted to make a "director's cut."
Can't you just imagine it? A nice, hour and change film, done in exactly that same terrible quality that you can't help but love, screwed up Kyon voiceovers and all. They could make a few extras with it, like a "behind the scenes" interview with the cast and crew. Haruhi can be going on and on about how great the film is while Kyon questions his part in making it as it might be illegal to film such a terrible movie. Wouldn't you just love to know what was going through Yuki's head while they were filming that? Add in a "director's commentary" with insanely fun Haruhi lines and maybe a few outakes, and you would have a truly great release. I wish I worked for KyoAni, I'd so push them to do this. |

My sister e-mailed me from Japan to tell me that she has picked up volumes 4 & 5 for me. She got a 10% discount for some odd reason. Just realized she must of bought the limited edition versions (given the ¥6600 price per disc she said that she paid). Anyways, I'm looking forward to these DVDs. For me it'll be interesting to see what other stories came from "Suzumiya Haruhi no Taikutsu" (aside from the baseball game episode).

I preordered the entire set of LEs from Yesasia* so I don't need a relative in Japan (I do have one, but not in frequent contact and don't want to put upon him), get free postage and no import duties.
Regarding the haircut.. I just think that she had been waiting for someone to point it out and once they had, there was no point going through all the effort. |

About an hour. I'm really sick of studying for finals, so I thought I'd take a "break". Heh heh, "break"...

Well I'm glad you took a "break" since this thread was really needing something like this.

I finished this series over Thanksgiving. Truly amazing! When I get my MyAnime list up, this is going under Masterpiece!
The whole deal with the episodes going out of order, in my opinion, was great. After watching the real episode 14 and the "other" episode 14 (the broadcast-order), I felt that spoiler[the other episode 14 had much more closure and climax than the real one. I thought about the real episode 14 and I thought it was quite an unsatisfactory ending.] I'm itching to know what American company will pick up this title. Some companies I think maybe a little worried about the fanbase- don't do it perfectly and fans will most likely rage. And I also wonder whether thast company will distribute it in Broadcast or the Japanese DVD order. They know people like both. And the whole thing with only 14 episodes? I can't see this show with more. I felt closure at the end of the final episode. But that by no means doesn't mean I am not yearning for a second season .

With omake like these, I'd say even the most stingy American anime buyers (i.e. those who prefer high episode numbers per disc) would be willing to pay $25 for just two episodes per volume.
 
When it comes to anime and manga, Taiwan is always the best place outside Japan (with the exception of 18+ titles, that is).

Yep, I'm sold. I've never gotten the singles for a new show as it came out... but Haruhi looks like it'll get my money, and aside from the decision to release it in Haruhi order... 'all signs point to yes'.

Very nice. Are those limited or do they come with every DVD including later pressings? Because I'm tempted to get those at some point, but I can't now or in the immediate future.
