Haruhi Thread.
Lost Hope Edition.
So /a/, How does it feel knowing season 3 was postponed for some shitty Nagato-centric spinoff romance crap?
>>115491220
I still have hope for an s3.
I mean why the fuck would they bother with this pachinko shit, and a shitty spin off...
First for our girl Haruhi
What Nagato spinoff?
I honestly just want a new movie. Fuck S3 if I could get another Disappearance. That movie was pure diamonds.
>>115491332
I haven't given up, I'm just sad we have to wait through this spinoff garbage. At least we'll get some more animated Haruhi, right?
>>115491469
They are making a "Dissapearance of Nagato Yuki-Chan anime".
Also, I'd be cool with another movie as well.
>>115491550
Yeah actually that is why I'm looking foward to the spinoff in a way. To see some of my favorite characters animated again
>mfw 2 cour season 3 for 2015-2016
>movie 1 for LN 9 2017
>movie 2 for LN 10-11 2018
>>115491827
It's been too long since I've seen that smile animated. I may go back and rewatch the original series...
>>115492090
Why is she so perfect, anon?
Never give up hope!
>>115492379
I wish Noizi Itou was doing the art direction for the spinoff series.
I'm really not looking forward to yuki-chan, but at least it's something.Haruhi is best girl, i love her so much
>>115491220

I have bad news for you anon.

>exactly 2 months until the yearly Disappearance rewatch
I can hardly wait
The only way I see for S3 is to have kyoani on the verge of bankruptcy.
S3 is guaranteed to be a hit.
I finished watching the series today and I watched Disappearance a few hours ago. As much as the hype around S1 and S2 is exaggerated but understandable (for the former rather than the latter), the movie was just brilliant and is making me crave for some Haruhi stuff.
Newfag but better late than never, I guess.
Haruhi is over-rated as fuck. 6/10 show.
>>115496236
Thanks for the opinion
>>115496236
was fun.
>>115496236
>>115496236
As an average, I agree with you.
Season 2 was a 3-4, while season 1 was an 8 and maybe even a 9 imo.
>>115495820
I'm going to wait until one day later. Friday makes it able for me to hold a viewing party with more people till late at night.
When I watched the disappearance for the first time I watched it on the 25th of december, right after coming home from celebrating with my family and watching it's a wonderful life.
I then decided to watch the disappearance straight after, and boy that was a good decision.
I recommend everyone to do this.
>>115496450
Where will you be streaming it?
>>115496408
Reminder that if you didn't enjoy E8 you're literally a pleb.
>>115496850
Reminder that your brain has been fried.
>>115496850
I rewatch it every August
>>115491220
>How does it feel knowing season 3 was postponed for some shitty Nagato-centric spinoff romance crap?
That, or you know, the Goto is too ill to work.;_;
>>115497088
I don't know if I could do that, but I wouldn't skip it when I rewatch the series.

Streaming? I invite people to my house and then we watch the bluray together. Cosy Christmas style
>>115498431
>watching anime with people in real life
What the FUCK is wrong with you? I bet you watch the dub too.
>>115498431
What is your problem man?
The only way to watch anime is to be alone in a dark room with some snacks.
>>115498567
Crispin Freeman.
>>115498820
Watching anime with other people would just make me uncomfortable. I can't fully enjoy it.
>>115499133
Same here.
I also talk to myself while watching anime at times, and I wouldn't have the luxury to pause whenever I wanted.
>>115498820
I watch anime with my 7 year old brother.
that's pretty fun.
>>115498908
Kyon's original VA is amazing, especially in the movie.
>>115491220
Feels good.
Entire thing should have been centred around Yuki having Haruhi as a background plot device all along.
>>115499219
You mean,
>wouldn't have the luxury of pausing every 30 seconds to check my /a/ tabs
>>115498567
nothing wrong with the dub
>>115498908
>>115499245
Both Sugita and Freeman are perfect for Kyon. I question my sexual orientation whenever I hear them.
>>115499502
Gotta say I like both dub and sub for Haruhi, I watched them both multiple times. Crispin is best Kyon imo, but all other characters are best in sub.
Which one?
>>115499609
>streaming
No thanks, I'm not missing out too much.
>>115500137
Yuki always and forever
>>115499609
I know one guy who watches anime, but he's a fucking pleb with a shit power level, and a filthy fujoshi who sometimes watches anime.
Whenever the conversation topic switches to anime, I can't stand them at all anymore.
What have you done to me /a/.
>>115500137
Anal sex with Haruhi.
>>115500137
Haruhi for life
no comparison
>>115500137
I´ve never fapped to Haruhi because she´s my waifu and I feel like I´d be scum if I did, have I exceeded acceptable levels of weeb /a/?
>>115493633
>Sakaki, Anti-SOS brigade & other post S2 characters
It feels quite odd seeing this.
Haruhi is just an annoying cunt and you know it
>>115501315
Nah, not really.
I'd love it if some weird girl would call me up and order me to be at the park in 1 hour because we're going alien hunting.
I'd probably think it'd be a weird innuendo for sex at first, but then I show up and see that we're actually going to look for aliens, and I'll be even more excited than I was for the sex.
>>115501440
i like you
>>115501533
I like you too anon.
Have my most irresistible picture.
>>115501315
Get outta here
>>115501622
the disappearance was great because there was no haruhi for the first half
Fuck this show. Haruhi reminds me of this girl I once knew.She's dead now and my life is empty.

>3DPDI'm only joshin' anon, I'm sorry for your loss ;_;
>>115501586
The only thing I really didn't like about Haruhi is how she treated Mikuru and some other people, but Mikuru wanted it, so.
>>115501916
>implying I even think about reading subs anymore, and that I don't enjoy it far more than an OK dub
>>115501315
>Haruhi is just an annoying cunt and you know it
Go away pre-disappearance Kyon. Come back when you go one single day without her and realize what a fool you were.
>>115501946
In season 2 she went too far a few times.
I didn't much care for all the Mikuru dressup, but I liked how Kyon was actually serious about it and strongly disapproved of it.
But yeah, she liked it anyway.
>>115502036
Well, he always knew it, he was just kinda split between the 2 extremes of weird life and generic life.
>>115502108
More like he didn't want to admit he liked his weird life.
>muh maturity
>>115501811
I worked with one guy who did, but he seemed to only watch SAO and SnK, he was also a self professed redditor, plays LoL heavily every day, and has a fursona. I also saw him wearing an MLP bag one day.
This is why I don't reveal my power level.
>>115502002
>even think about reading subs anymore
Ah but see, I've been there. We all go there.
>Subtitles are no big deal, I'm not missing anything
Till you one day realize you're missing EVERYTHING by reading the subs. It's enough to make me want to learn JP
>>115501944
It's OK, she was an annoying bitch anyways;_;
>>115501854
Brilliant. I might do this.
>>115502189
>everything
How so?
>>115502189
I'm a fast reader.
And of course shit gets lost in translation, but it happens way more in dubs.
Since they need the sentence duration to match, they often have to twist the meaning of the sentences way more than subs ever do.
>>115502292
>I might do this.
You MUST do this.
>>115502184
Are you me?
I had a baito and this one guy I worked with watched SAO and SNK, he was addicted to LoL, browsed tumblr to an insane extent, and he wears MLP fursuits.
>>115502382
How would it work with the sound though?
>>115502189
Dubs are translations too. It gets lost either way, but you get more with subs becsuse you have the original voice inflections and other subtleties. Anyone with a decent power level can understand enough japanese to notice when translations are off mark as well.
Are you one of those millenials with abysmal reading level?
>>115502542
When you hear 4 Nagatos all explaining the 15,5XX times the day has repeated, it's like an eargasm.
What's a good whole-screen recording program? Or is there a way I can splice all 4 together with a program?
Even if I watch something dubbed I always have subtitles on
>>115500137
>Tsuruya with twintails and school swimsuit tanlines
holy shit my dick
>>115502608
>abysmal reading level
Let's see you read a sub that's on screen for less than half a second because the timer doesn't know what the fuck he's doing. Subs have problems too.
>>115502677
Getting them all to play at the same time would be quite a pain though
>>115502742
And how often does that happen?
That's right, not often if you download good subs.
And you can just pause it.
However, dubs carry a very consistent problem with them, than you can not easily get around, and far more problems as well.
>>115500640
You should never fap to your waifu, good work anon.
>>115502823
Go ahead and keep your eyes glued to the bottom of the screen, never enjoying the animation going on above. Even with a godly reading rate, they will still be glued to the bottom >50% of the time, I don't care who the fuck you think you are.
>>115502742
That's never happened to me. And even then if I glimpse it for at least a full second I'll have read it and understood what the character is saying.
This isn't even a discussion. This was settled a long time ago. Subs are superior in 90% of situations and not hard to read if you aren't stupid.
>>115500137
Why are the breasts bigger in season 1? Why couldn't they be consistent with their sizes?
>>115502903
This tired out old bait is still being used?
>>115502903
You aren't reading it like a book.
It's like reading a billboard while driving on the highway, you don't really look at it, nor do you actively read it, but you saw what it said, and know perfectly well what it said, while still looking at the road.
Maybe this also depends on the country you were raised in.
I live in the Netherlands, and here almost nothing except children's cartoons are dubbed, so I learned to lightning read from a pretty young age.
>>115502856
I will continue my crusade of abstinence.
>>115501854
Kyon-kun, denwa is my message tone
>>115503100
I have a shitty american education and I can read subs while watching the screen without any effort. It's not even something that occurs to me that people would have trouble with it. I just naturally absorb the text and the image at the same time without thinking.
>>115503201
Upload the file to vocaroo.
>>115503324
Seconded.
>>115503274
>>115503100
No one said anything about having difficulty reading the subs at all. There is no difficulty in reading. You are both not getting the point. This is because your intellect is inferior to my own.
Ceasing communication with inferior life forms.
HARUHI S3 FUCKING WHEN?
>>115493633
We'll never see this fucker animated.
>>115503466

So, you have difficulty focusing on the picture? Because no one else does.
Oh, a third season? I guess I picked a good time to actually watch the second season. I'll wait.

You'll know when I blow it up then.

Koizumi was probably prepared to fight him. He takes his job very seriously.
>>115510077
>He takes his job very seriously.
The anime is overrated but it has a special place in my heart. It was the first social-phenomenon anime that I saw live as it aired. I mean, I'd seen eva, azumanga, GGG, etc... but those had already aired. Technically I saw CCS while it aired originally, but I wasn't really feverishly into anime at that point, and had no idea bout online communities.
I've been putting off marathoning the light novels in hopes of the anime finishing everything off nicely, but S3 is just taking fucking forever if at all.
>>115510077
Koizumi is just a pussy that happens to know too much.

The one where Mikuru let out a "neeugh"
>>115512334
THE NUMBERS MASON.WHAT DO THEY MEAN?
>>115500137
Ryoko, I need that femdom.
Endless Eight kind of bothered me.
The very first time they go through the day, Mikuru doesn't notice anything is odd with the inability to time travel. Also, on the very last loop, her ability to time travel should have been restored, so she'd not have noticed anything out of the ordinary and they'd never have discovered the time loop. So using Mikuru's inability to travel to the future was a bad plot point.
Furthermore, after finding out you're stuck in a time loop, you'd do stuff differently. Sure, after a few dozen loops, you may think "Whatever, I'll just assume it might sort itself out through random variation" but after a thousand loops, you're going to start doing random shit to break out of the loops. After a few thousand more, you're going to realize "Hey, I bet I did random shit in past loops, and it didn't work" so you're going to do even RANDOMER shit.
Then there's the whole Nagato cannot interfere. As a machine, she can appreciate that if things keep going exactly the same, the amount of data decreases, to the point where after a few thousand iterations, nothing new is happening at all. This approaches a zero entropy situation with infinite compression, Even she would feel compelled to break the loop or throw major variation into each cycle at that point.
>>115514500
Excuse me, the amount of NEW data decreases.
>>115514500
>Also, on the very last loop, her ability to time travel should have been restored
Haruhi's subconscious desire for a never ending summer wasn't resolved until Kyon does his homework. The night that she tells them what's up, that hadn't happened yet, the future still hadn't been created yet.
>>115502189
fufufu he still reads whole words.
>>115491220
When was the latest volume of the light novel released? I think it was quite a while ago
>>115511754

>>115515396
May 2011 IIRC.
>>115515434
Is the author writing something else? Wonder what made him not to write things
>>115515469
He wrote two short stories. One directly related to the main series and another set in disappearance. And it seems that he released an older work with a bit of new material in another publishing company.
>>115515469
He's just a lazy piece of shit, no fuck you 11 pages short story doesn't count as actual work, high school students have longer essays than that.

/a/nons are still dumb as fuck after all these years. for shame.
Every review I read on Haruhi tells me it changed anime forever.I dont see how. Maybe I'm just the dumb.
>>115519441
See how over half airing shows every season are LN adaptions?
>>115519441
Here's one thing: The anime utilized cliché in a very unique way that differentiates itself from many if not most anime out there as of right now. Doing this displayed a different perspective and portrayed a potential in a renewed if not totally new style of anime.
>>115519441
It was just different done right. Slice of life centered around a high school student, with his pals, an alien, time traveller, an esper and god. Examples of different done horribly wrong

delicious
Would you sniff Haruhi's butt?
>>115521057
Long, it's not even a competition
>>115509788
Why ? It's another proof Kyon cares about Haruhi's well being and doesn't want her to live a fucked up life. He's a good influence on her.
>>115521971
There are other ways to get your point across that don't involve violence.
>>115514500
>The very first time they go through the day, Mikuru doesn't notice anything is odd with the inability to time travel.

They lost their memories every loop. All that was left was a passing sense of deja vu, that never really changed.
>Then there's the whole Nagato cannot interfere.

She can't interfere. That's all there is too it. She won't go against her programming as there's no order to. She never said it was about data collection either, it was about not interfering because she is completely outside of Haruhi's causality, which would be like cheating.
>>115522005
She isn't a grade school kid, a punch is a good way to deal with someone when they act like a spoiled bitch.
Best girl coming through.
>>115522190
No, it's not.
especially with someone like Haruhi.
>>115522273

>>115522388
>implying she wouldn't enjoy it
Disappearance Haruhi looks thicker and healthier than the regular version. Don't know if it's intentional but I like it
>>115522007
i like this. i will copypasta.
so I don't understand what the new anime is
just a spinoff that has nothing to do with the LNs?
It's an adaptation of a spinoff manga series, unrelated to the main story
>>115523451
ugh
i guess they need money
Help me /a/ my heart can't take this anymore

>>115523752
>>115523997
I'd let her be my tyrant anytime she wants
>>115523638
It's kinda cute how Haruhi pulls Kyon to her side when she was visited by the music club. She feels insecure without her husbando
>>115524340
Well, like Kyon said, she's not used to being praised. Shy Haruhi a qt
>>115524448
My heart melted with her smile.
>>115524564
>>115524564
