After a three year hiatus since the release of volume 9 in mid-2007, the Haruhi novels have finally started publishing again in the latest issue of The Sneaker magazine. Chapter 1 of volume 10, “The Surprise of Haruhi Suzumiya,” is out! Scans and info after the jump. I will continuously update this post as translations, images, [...]

The Vanishment of Haruhi Suzumiya movie ranked #7 on Kogyo Tsushinsha’s chart and #6 on Eiga.com.  The Haruhi Suzumiya movie was able to make about 1 million in its first two days of release while ...

Haruhi comes up with the idea to put on a movie for the upcoming School Festival. Impressions: I think this episode could have really been just about anything and I would have still really liked it, mainly as long as it wasn’t the same exact damn episode I’ve already seen half a dozen times. However even [...]

So begins an arc that isn’t “Endless Eight”: instead, we’re now about to get the behind-the-scenes look at how that infamous film which launched the whole franchise, and a million Hirano Aya fanboys, The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina, came to be. Many have spoken about the K-ONification of Haruhi ever since the second season began. [...]

The airing of the first part of Sighs was a breath of relief since Endless Eight finally ended and a new story arc is now starting… this time, Sighs pretty much covers how the SOS-dan makes the amateur movie, “The Adventures of Asahina Mikuru.” This first episode was alright, but there are several things [...]

It just came to my attention that the latest Haruhi-chan episodes were released around 24 hours ago, as well as Churuya-san. Haruhi-chan 09 is pretty funny, it’s almost like the filming for The Adventures of Asahina Mikuru Episode 00 in the real series. Haruhi spits blood out in excitement and gets taken to the hospital. Kyon [...]

I've heard rumours that the reason why episode 9 was dull was that the studio were saving money for episode 10. I feel inclined to believe them. Where very little happened last time this episode makes up for it, and then some! It all begins with a day at school in which Haruhi is complaining about how nothing much is going on in the strange happenings department; after the series' progress lately I can't help but agree, except ...

And catching up (again) with this week's Haruhi. I've read through Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu now so I can comment a bit on how things go in the novel... and now I know how it ends ;) &nbsp; The chou kantoku isn't in such a great mood today since nothing all that interesting is going on. Definitely Yuuutsu (melancholy). &nbsp; Haruhi's set up a special Mikuru photo gallery on the "SOS DAN Web Site" -- <a href=http://www.haruhi.tv/mikuru/">look here ;) That'll get you more hits for sure. Kyon doesn't approve and gives Haruhi quite a talking to. Haruhi's rather pissed so she leaves.. and afterwards Kyon drags the Mikuru pictures out of the trash and moves them to a "mikuru" folder. He is a Mikuru fan ;) But, actually, there's something else on his mind... he received a letter that morning asking him to come to the classroom after school, but he doesn't know who it's from. It's Asakura-san.. quite a surprise. She goes on about humans always saying "It's better to go ahead and do something and regret rather than regret not doing it". After that, things start to not make much sense.. she's apparently tired of things not changing as well, and..

The fan said to Her, &ldquo;Haruhi, I have sinned against fandom and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your fan.&rdquo; But Haruhi said to Her animators, &ldquo;Quick! Bring on my tsundere stuff. Put forth the Kyon sarcasm. Bring the fattened calves of Yuki Techno Battle and Mikuru-oneechan mo&eacute;. Let us have [...]

I can understand Haruhi's melancholy. Despite a show in her namesake, Haruhi gets little action and has to masquerade as an unlikeable brat while her supporting dan members get to claim moe mileage with the audience. Both Yuki and Mikuru were awesome this ep. Heck, even the sweet Ryoko was so winsome in spite of [...]
