Right, because the premise of the whole show can be summed up in two episodes...

This show is NOT for the impatient who expect to see the whole concept within two episodes. Infact, alot of good anime operate on watching at least several episodes before people can make a good judgement.

This show should be seen as a full package, not just watch the first 2 and go "is this it?"

Now that we've reached June, The first US vol came out already so now I need to know if its worth getting so I can wipe the episodes off my hdd. According to ANN , my predictions were right on the mark when I thought that Wendee Lee would work on Haruhi's voice. Im not sure how that job went but I assume Crispin Freeman did a great job as Kyon cause he's Crispin Freeman ;p.

I could stand most of the voices. Johnny Yong Bosch as Koizumi, I liked. I didn't like Mikuru's/Yuki's NA VAs as much. To me, Mikuru comes off more as whiny instead of cute. Yuki has a somewhat more direct voice, or maybe it's just me, since these voices would be perfect to others.
I'm glad the OP and ED were unaltered.

I think I'll end up buying the box set... because I doubt they're JUST selling the DVDs without all of the extras. Plus I'm tired of watching this it on my laptop..it's making everything slower. I've gotten used to watching the episodes in Japanese...so hearing everything in English would be weird... but I've wanted to listen to the dub

Talking

That's fucking awesome! Thanks for the link, Kairi. It's gonna be a great time when this airs, coz already it looks like it'll be great!! The newspaper article alone has me going all giddy:


Supposedly, that is....
Spoiler:
.....3 years previous to the setting of season 1. Kyon hears from Kunikida that there was an incident while Haruhi was still in Junior High, where she made some strange symbols on the field as a message to aliens. Actually it was revealed in the light novels that.......














(close this spoiler if you don't want to be spoiled!!)











..........it was revealed that someone helped her make the symbols (or she stood on the side and made that someone do all the work). Yup, that guy helping her is Kyon, who time travelled with Mikuru Asahina 3 years into their past.


Heh, I really want to see this story animated!!



And this image made me LOL:


Konata ecstatic that Haruhi has a season two (and maybe Aya Hirano too as she is able to reprise the role that made her a household name)!!



I can't wait!

Was there really an official announcement all the way back then, or did people just assume there would be a second season because... why not?

I ended up buying the first volume. I found Mikuru's dubbed voice bearable but it didn't have to be that high pitched. It's higher than the Japanese version, so I tend to just watch the whole volume in Japanese.

There were assumptions, but KyonAni didn't say or announced anything until the recent scans.

07/07/07 will be the official announcement. I hope theres some sort of trailer.

The fact that they showed a "newspaper scan" of that certain event is probably giving us a clue as to which volume is being adapated as the main story arc as well. (Psss, its the "Disappearance" one)

Almost all the novels(Cept the recent vol 9) are translated into English here:

I'm kind'a confused about the date on the newspaper though....
Spoiler:
...isn't that date supposed to be 2006 instead of 2007? I read somewhere that due to something Kyon says in the anime (some comment about Haruhi's hairstyle after Goldenweek and it being a certain day) it was established that the anime takes place in 2009 - so the "event" which happened 3 years before was supposed to have happened in 2006, right? Or am I totally confusing this with something else?

The internet will explode with Haruhism in less than an hour...

EDIT:NewType official site HAD a video relating to Haruhi 2, which depicts a scene from Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody. The video was just taken down,and we speculate it will be on the shows official site soon, but so far, the site isn't loading...
