After having a marathon of all 14 eps of Haruhi, I must say the story is certainly interesting and kept me hooked. However, I will stop short by saying I wouldn't consider myself a "Haruhiist" yet as I didn't find it that amazing as much as the hype surrounding it says.
Yes, I actually did understand the majority of the major plot points of the series despite its weird broadcast order of the episodes (I had already figured out what the first broadcast episode was halfway into it). The characters had their usual personality traits and I must say I love the irrational and quick to act personality of Haruhi.
The scenes of her taking advantage of Mikuru always provides a great laugh and one notable scene I liked personally is the SOS Brigade playing that computer game against the Computer Society Club where Haruhi's team kept on being bombed five days in a row from just practising lol. The episodes where they tried to solve a murder case was another highlight as it had an unexpected conclusion.
I look forward to seeing season 2 of Haruhi along with the second season of Shana as well. I do however have some questions regarding the characters of Haruhi and how they affected the storyline.
1) I still find it hard to find an answer to why Haruhi chose Kyon out of all the people for her to create the world she lives in. Does anyone know why?
2) Could it be that Kyon wanted to create his own ideal world too that sparked a connection between him and Haruhi?
3) How did Haruhi end up possessing the power that she has?

I kinda watched all the Haruhi series because of that first ep. It was pretty good. Some of it was kind of predictable. Or maybe that was just me. Sorry, Darky, I don't think I can answer you questions, their a bit to complex for me. Anyway, why don't they use that "Mi - Mi - Mi-i-ku-ru" thing that they used in the 1st ep anymore, that was pretty catchy.

Glad you watched it. Good questions too.
btw some of this is probably spoilers for those of you who haven't seen it (which btw should be NO ONE).
1. I don't think anyone really knows the answer to this. Haruhi doesn't know about her power and how she is different. I assume she would be the only one to know the answer if she realized what she was. There are probably different theories on this but nothing official.
2. I think there is more to Kyon than they tell us but I don't think thats it. I felt like Kyon is definitely an ordinary human. But theres gotta be something they're not telling us, I mean we don't even know his real name. Plus I think Kyon is way too cynical to want to create his own world. I could be way off but thats just my impression.
3. I think this is another thing that may be explained as season 2 rolls around. I could be forgetting stuff because I haven't watched all of it in a while but I think all we were told was that she was like a god but doesn't know it yet.
Hope that sheds some light on it, I know its not all perfectly clear but I think thats how they meant it to be.
I got a question, exactly haw many episode does this title have?
14 episodes for the first season, season 2 should start airing soon in Japan although it's unknown how many eps it will have.

Ok i was really curious about suzuki haruki who was she, i found lots of artworks depicting that girl and only till now i found out that its an anime series.

Hey is the new season out yet?
13 November 2007, 6:31 PM
Not yet. Season 2 hasn't aired in Japan yet I don't think.
You've read it! You can't unread it!

*sigh* This one of those shows with an english dub that I actually prefer over the japanese audio. I sigh because I really, really, really liked this show and maybe besides someone like Revy from Black Lagoon, Haruhi reminds me of me!
PLEASE MAKE SEASON TWO COME OUT FASTER, PLEASE?

If you want that to happen, then get Key the hell away from Kyoto Animation XD
14 November 2007, 2:56 PM
Yeah I don't think theres much info on the new season. Originally it was supposed to air this fall but obviously that didn't happen. Most likely either in the winter or next spring it will air.
14 November 2007, 9:49 PM
I can't wait anymore. I wish that they released it soon.
15 November 2007, 3:35 PM
Well from the opening song of it, i was amazed seeing this character dance as well as her friends. I think im gonna like it, i havent got the time to watch it though but im going to watch it for sure.

Just finished watching season 1 today. I was expecting a lot from this series and I thought it delivered the hype myself. Very entertaining and light-hearted. Considering season 2 hasn't aired yet in Japan though its going to be a while before I see it since I typically wait until all the DVD's are released here in the states before I watch the series.
I didn't see an answer to the questions about Kyon or Haruhi either, although the opening music would seem to indicate that Kyon was chosen (created?) by Haruhi to be her companion... sort of his yin to her yang I suppose. :/

I've heard some rumors that the second season is already airing in Japan. IS THIS TRUE???
Well, I'm expecting that answer. Oh well it's just a rumor i heard in the shop and i got a little excited when i heard that. Thanks.
yeah I haven't heard anything and I'm sure if it had aired in Japan already I would have already watched it.
Haruhi would be mad at you if you made her rush her series XD.
Jeff told me he takes Haruhi out for dinner and a movie and has sex with her every night. (He ate dinner at his PC, watched a DVD movie on his PC monitor and masturbated over pictures of her)
You've read it! You can't unread it!
Yeah, you're right, I forgot to mention the love letters you write to her.
You've read it! You can't unread it!

It would certainly be an adventure to get with her. Right? RIGHT?
The image of hundreds of horny otaku laying on the floor, looking straight up her skirt comes to mind...

I personally think she might be busy on another ASOS case myself... or was that another group that was supposed to be investigating this one?

You can if you believe you can.

Lynk Former Wrote:The image of hundreds of horny otaku laying on the floor, looking straight up her skirt comes to mind... Lynk, I would never do something so childish and immature. I would simply try to undress her completely. Much more efficient.
@Moel: nice one, with that hundreds of horny otaku will be free from stiffneck.
It's a plastic molded statue, Jeff... you're not going to be able to take its clothes off.
Try again.
Unless you want to masturbate over the statue without its sash which seems to be the only thing not actually a part of the mold... you know what, I really didn't need to type any of this you already made yourself sound even more lame with your own post XD

I was a pic of a silicon real doll which was custom modeled to look like Haruhi, which was kinda cool. Can't imagine the allure of fucking her though, must be something akin to conquering a dead fish.
