I suppose it’s time to enter into the lists concerning the new episode of Haruhi.  I just watched the Tanabata episode over lunch.  Yeah, I’m behind, but one thing and another have kept me from watching anime these two weeks gone, so I’m catching up as best I can. I’ll open up by admitting I’m not [...]

Haruhi is back. And so am I. After being absent for 2 years — though there was a mini-series of somewhat a prelude to this new season — the SOS Brigade will once again leave us in peplexity. Perplexity, ironically, is what I got from this first episode and should this prolongs further, the prospect [...]

This DS-exclusive Haruhi game was released a few days ago on the 28th May 2009. Chokuretsu (直列) means series and this is a visual novel style game. I started playing this yesterday and it seemed alright for a DS novel game (graphic/sound wise). Now, trying to play this should be extremely easy right? Just clicking buttons [...]

3 years ago, we came to know of a high school girl with a love for extraordinary and supernatural and possesses the ability to destroy the universe. 3 years later, she is back but faces strong competition from a certain moe moe kyun left-handed bass guitarist. Will she persevere? How can one say no to this? [...]

I figured I’d try something different with my episodic write-ups on the new season of Haruhi (or at least I’m going to try. This post took me forever to write.) Less focus on standard summary and impression, more focus on a tangential issue that piqued my interest. Haruhi’s one of the few shows that has enough depth beyond what’s happening on-screen to capture my attention and warrant some extra thinking (I’ve no intentions to wax poetic about K-ON! for example). Does Kyon look younger? Haruhi-chan art influence, perhaps?

In all honesty the years of speculation and wrangling and rampant fanboyism and cynical publicity from Kadokawa made me pretty despondent about the prospect of a sequel to KyoAni’s smash hit, Suzumiya Haruhi. Add in my natural apprehension towards sequels and it became pretty difficult by the end of it all to even feign [...]

Garrick: Finally. Just… finally. After the three years of waiting… (Maybe that’s something I should have noticed… the ever important figure of “Three Years”), it’s finally here. Just as coincidentally, this episode contains paradoxes galore… you know… just like what we could have considered what Kyoani/Kadokawa was doing… making the Haruhi fanbase wait so long. A paradoxical, [...]

And so it begins, just as the prophecies predicted (somewhat ambiguously). The thundering cries of male ecstasy shake the ground as hordes of frenzied fanboys awake from their winter slumber and descend upon the unsuspecting intarweb. As onslaught and carnage devastate 4chan, no one notices any difference. The absolutist doctrine of the Great One sweeps [...]

Not exactly, Kyon. By now, it’s definitely no news that everyone knows of the so-called season 2 of Suzumiya Haruhi. Initially believed to be a complete re-run of the first season, I guess those that are thinking that way (me included) were dearly wrong. May 17th, the first episode that was not listed in the original first [...] Related posts:Haruhi Re-run New Episode Aired!

As the afterglow slowly wears off, I have to reign myself back in and remember that there are other anime airing right now. Good ones, too. Hatsukoi Limited, K-ON!, Hayate 2, and Eden of the East have all impressed me in one way or another. So let's take a break from the ongoing Haruhi-gasm and take a look at the shows that deserve a bit of spotlight of their own.

Fanboys will be very pleased. I lost my interest in Haruhi 2 years ago, but this episode was refreshing. I mean, it pretty much explained what happened to Haruhi 3 years ago from July 4th. And it turns out that in an episode where Nagato talks to Kyon about being an alien, time traveling Kyon was [...]

Haruhi is back…. but a bit too overhyped… but doesn’t mean it’s not good…. Short Synopsis It’s the Tanabata festival, and everyone in the SOS brigade wrote their 2 wishes which will be granted in 12 years. After the meeting, Mikuru have Kyon stay and they travel back three years to help Haruhi from 3 years ago. [...]

In case you've been trapped under a rock for the past twenty-four hours or so, and that rock has somehow blocked all Internet access and crushed your cell phone beneath its immense weight, allow me to be the first to tell you that Haruhi Suzumiya is back, back, back!!! In keeping with the typical kind of KyoAni and Kadokawa craziness when it comes to this franchise, a brand spanking new episode

This is not a troll anymore. It’s real this time. Guess which God had been missed? Guess which awesome sarcasm had been missed? Guess whom the fujoshis had been missed? Guess which everyone’s waifu had been missed? GUESS WHOM I MISSED THE MOST??? So after years of speculations, self-trolling, conspiracies, and KyoAni death threats, Haruhi Suzumiya is back with a new [...]

Well this was a surprise.  The first season of Haruhi has been replaying in Japan for some time, and while there have been magazine hints at a new season, there’s been nothing blatently advertised from Kyoto Animation that new episodes that follow the Haruhi novels would start airing.  While this episode is mixed in chronologically [...]

The moment has finally arrived. After 3 long years of having their collective expectations raised only to be dashed, of being teased repeatedly and mercilessly with magazine covers and online announcements which all seem to lead nowhere in the end, the Faith Keepers of the original KyoAni otaku phenomenon have finally had their long vigil [...]

Another ordinarily hot Brazilian day had begun for Kyon and the rest of the gang, but Haruhi is up to no good. Being Nana the Nana(th), Haruhi orders everyone to make two wishes to commemorate the meeting of Orihime and that other guy by traditionally choking a Bamboo tree with paper (I meant papers making [...]

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - Yawn? Holy God, Mikuru, will you just die in a fire? Can you simper and suck any harder, mirai-shoujo? I can’t believe after two years of tireless waiting I found this new episode so boring and cringe-worthy. Okay, so freezing time in Nagato’s room was pretty cool and young Haruhi made me smile. Hence, I was interested in what I was watching for roughly 5 minutes of the episode. I remembered this show being so much better than this. Has all the time that’s gone by caused everything to self-destruct under the weight of its own hype? Or was this just a weak episode? Or am I just a hater? Stuff to ponder…
