Haruhi's first episode aired 10 years ago, today.
I think we should celebrate one of the biggest franchises of all time with a nice thread.
>>139432480
Did it really air on April 1st?
>>139432606
The Nips on twitter are celebrating it today.
>>139432606
April 2nd.
>>139432632
Maybe it's April 2nd already there?
Season 3 still never.
>>139432770
Let's just enjoy this moment. ;_;
>>139432760
At what time did it air? If it was like 26:00 April 1 you could say it still aired on the first. Since that's how they count it.
>>139432937
I think it was right after midnight, April 2nd (so actually April 3rd), but I don't remember it very well.
>>139432937
>26:00
>>139433044
>being this new
no lie
this thread should be stickied
I bet CG will get a sticky on it's 10th
Has it really been 10 years already.;_;
>>139434290
Anniversaries never get stickies. I mean even Kizu didn't get a sticky when it was finally confirmed.
so who is rewatching this?
This show is huge shit so no
>>139434602
Reactor is doing a stream, I dunno when though.
>>139432480
Did the author EVER finish book 9 or 10? I forgot which was the last book I read of this shit back in 2006-7.
>>139434902
Yeah, we're up to book 11 as of 2011.
And a short story for the LN anniversary.
>>139435017
So is almost 10 years later and he only did 2 books? Damn the guy seriously doesn't give a fuck anymore.
>anime entered its dark age ten years ago
>>139435175
well, he never has finished any of his works
>>139435312
But Bakemonogatari didn't air until 2009.
I'm watching this show for the first time this weekend.
Should I go broadcast or chronological?
>>139436273
Broadcast always.
>>139436273
if you are marathoning everything, then on chronological order
if you are only watching the first season watch it on broadcast order
sticky when?
>>139436273
Don't even start that.
>>139435312
It's a classic now.
>>139436273
2009 broadcast order.
>>139436273
dont forget this it's very important, you need watch all "endless eight arc" 2 or 3 times to understand Nagato's feelings in the movie.
Is anything going to happen ? At least Haruhi.tv updating or something ?
John Smith for S3
Make it happen

I got this. John Smith time.
>>139436273
Just make sure to watch "The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina Episode 00" first.
It was the first episode that aired 10 years ago, and only works well in this way. Watch it again after the Sigh episodes, in its chronological place.
>>139439065
>>139432480
>Taniguchi's face
Why does he look like that?
So... nothing?
>>139436273
Broadcast always. The people saying chronological are retards who get confused if things aren't straightforward.
>>139439678
Maybe his buttfeels good?
Shit. I started watching in chronological already because I didn't know the releases were so fucked up.
I'm already on episode 8, is it too late to switch to broadcast?
>>139440559
I watched broadcast first because i wanted to get the same feel everybody did when it aired. Then, i watched S2, which features the same episodes of S1 in chronological order. I regret nothing.
Do not skip endless eight, no matter what they say. You want to get the feeling, don't let anyone convince you otherwise.

Just let go. Haruhi is dead.
What I would really like is a remaster of the whole S1. The designs are kind of dated.
>>139443096
>dated
In what way?
>>139443118
The Keyshit uguu way. The designs in S2 look better, perhaps a bit too moe. A combination between FMP and K-On designs would be perfect.
>>139443118
Go watch the first episode of Phantom world and then go watch the first episode of Haruhi and tell me which one looks nice and which one looks ugly.
>>139443191
Oh yeah, I get what you mean.
>>139443222
Haruhi was one of my first shows as a newfag, I remember thinking back then "what the fuck is up with their eyes?". I must have gotten so used to it, that I didn't even notice anymore.
I miss Nagato. Season 3 never and Nagaru has given up on the series.
>>139443580
Don't lose hope.
Kyoanus knows Haruhi is a fucking goldmine. I still have my entire live left to wait.
>>139443222
>comparing two series with a literal 10 year difference
Are you fucking serious right now? Of course one will look dated.
That doesn't mean it's a shit anime though.
Phantom World may look pretty but it's absolute trash.
>>139443739
>kyoani
It's kadokawa.
>>139443222
>the first episode of Haruhi
Considering the first episode of haruhi is "the adventures of asahina mikuru 00" I don't think that's a fair comparison.
>>139443809
Kyoto Animation did the animation. Kadokawa is the publisher. Studios make dosh too.
>>139443739
I wish I could have the same faith as you. Firstly, I doubt that Haruhi will be all that successful now, since much of the original fanbase has moved on, and it's not like KyoAni really lacks money. Secondly, the novels are kinda just left hanging. That's on Tanigawa and it's a fundamental problem with the series right now. Thirdly, Kadokawa may not be all that coorperative. Fourthly, I'm not entirely sure I have that much longer left to wait.
>>139443891
Kyoani has no word in the making of a new season because they don't hold the copyrights.
the first thread I ever read on /a/ was a haruhi thread,
it was about hard gay guy cameo
>>139443096
I wouldn't mind that. I dunno if it could be all that profitable though.
>139443807
No one called it shit. Calm down.
>>139443861
Any other episode is a fair comparison. Don't get caught up on the details.
>>139444025
It's all up to the commercialization of Tanigawa's next novel.
>>139443096
I wouldn't mind that. I dunno if it could be all that profitable though.
>>139443807
No one called it shit. Calm down.
>>139443861
Any other episode is a fair comparison. Don't get caught up on that.
>>139444025
then who does?
>you'll never be able to erase your memories so you can watch haruhi for the first time again
>tfw rewatching doesn't quite do the trick anymore
>>139443963
>Fourthly, I'm not entirely sure I have that much longer left to wait.
>mfw
>>139444218
Kadokawa?
Somebody post that image with kyoani, TBS and kadokawa and the rights they hold from various kyoani anime.
>>139444025
Sure they do. If studios want to make something, they look for a publisher and talk it out.
I'm sure someone as profitable as kyoanus can sweet-talk the shit out of Kadokawa.
>>139444308
It takes a lot of parties agreeing, and I just don't see any of them caring enough to actually drive the negotiations.
>>139444406
DON'T LOSE FAITH RONALD FRY.
>>139444308
>If studios want to make something
And there's another problem. KyoAni is more focused on adapting their own shit novels rather than some other publishers' novels.
>>139444568
probably because they get more money out of it.
>>139444568
WHY ARE YOU LOSING FAITH?!
>>139444597
Not necessarily, but they do get ownership, artistic freedom and a lot less hassle.
>>139444597
That's what you'd think, but Phantom Shit just bombed pretty hard.
And KnK didn't much better either.
>>139444631
There's more than one person playing the devils advocate here. The original fans are adults now that have come to see the need to make concessions to reality.
>>139444675
The only KyoAni show you could say bombed was Nichijou, but even that they were able to recoup the losses.
>>139444857
Those are gross numbers. The margins are somewhat more opaque.

I want tocuddleHaruhi.
>>139444920
Oh, I see. Let me put it for you simply.
It sold well.
>>139444990
>walk into room
>see this
>cuddle me anon
>what do?
>People actually watched endless eight
Why?
>>139445018
In most industries like this the publisher is the one who gets the biggest share of the cake, while the producer gets somewhere between 10% and 30% + the flat fee they got paid to produce the show/anime/video game/whatever. Since there's no publisher in shows like Free or Chuu2 that sold really well, KyoAni only had to share the profit with the music labels and distributors.
>>139444990
If we are on this topic, I want to marry Nagato, travel the universe, go on wild adventures, have a loving relationship, raise great children, teach her to love and not fear it, to be together and feel each other's warmth until we have no more regrets and can pass peacefully into the beyond.
But we all know that's not going to happen.
>>139445086
what else could I do?
this has been on my backlog for 10 years
>>139445086
I had no other choice. It was all that was airing, senpai.
>>139445086
More like the painful eight, am i rite
>>139445086
I watched while it was airing, it couldn't be helped.
>>139445368
Twas truly an experience. I managed to move through the 5 stages of grief as it aired.
>>139445279
>senpai
I've noticed, senpai becomes senpai. Why is this? I'm trying to type senpai, but instead it becomes senpai. F.A.M
It was Haruhi that opened my eyes to a new world and put me on this path

Plus, the threads were fun, I wasn't just going to drop it.

fampai, famicon, family, you can use a lot of words for that senpai.
>>139445901
I'm not sure if shows were better back then or Im just losing interest in anime...
>>139445917
I've dropped better show for far more frivolous reasons.
Why people can't be like the nigger of ODA working like a fucking nigger.
>>139445927
Shows were actually better. Eden of the East, Bakemonogatari, Haruhi, FMA and S&W are all generally agreed to be good works. Saki and K-On were also helluva fun.
Right now, everything is so fucking boring holy shit. When are we getting a proper Bungaku Shoujo adaptation?
>>139445787
No, spoonfeed me.

>Kyon-kun Denw-Ai
Kyon falls in love with Haruhi Suzumiya.
Unable to confess, he is gifted by a deus ex machina with the Manic Pixie Dream Girl's phone number. Never minding the strange area code, he immediately calls her, and is overjoyed to find out that she has a crush on him as well.
But, the next day, when he recounts the previous day's confessions to Haruhi, she only looks at him with a perplexed expression, calling him a "baka". After some investigation, he finds out that the goddess (allegedly) he called is not the same girl he fell in love with. In fact, she doesn't exist in this universe at all. She is the girl's alternate universe counterpart, who has fallen in love with Kyon's own AU self, who too is blissfully unaware of her crush.
Hijinks ensue as the two strike up a deal to give each other their darkest, most private secrets in order to equip the other with the weapons they need to conquer the heart of their other selves. While the two chase their respective loved ones, DRAMA ensues as they begin to fall in love with each other instead and question the NATURE of GODDESSES.
>>139449139
Itsuki and Kyon develop such a nice friendship in the later light novels.
Kyon mellows towards him while Itsuki get's snarkier, so they meet in the middle.
One of the many things that will never make it to screen.

>>139436273
Chronologically the climactic episode of season one occurs in episode 6. Bad idea.
Although, feel free to move someday in the rain to the end, it's a very comfy episode to end on.
I dont mind not getting a S3 anytime soon, but can they please fucking reprint the movie BD so I dont have to sell a kidney for it?
I am confident Tanigawa will eventually write book 12. There's no way he's just going to leave everyone hanging like this. Every time you feel like all hope is lost, think about that day and how glorious it will be. Look forward to that day, anons. Our suffering isn't for nothing.
>>139453441

I'd rather he take his time than just shit out an ending because he has to. Waiting for inspiration is temporary. Shitty endings are forever.

I know, but I feel an autistic compulsion to read the original prose, rather than an interpretation.

He did take 4 years for the previous one. Yeah that's still a lot, but it's means he might be close to finishing a book

>>139432480

Some artists use up their whole lives to create a single work. I'm not saying Haruhi is anything on that scale, but some people might be more dedicated than others.
>>139455236

Define death. Because death could also be:becoming a normalfag.
In which case, probably in the hundreds of thousands.
>>139455999
That wouldn't really be called "remastering" though.
You're essentially talking about a reboot, which neither of those series need.
>Lucky Star is going to be a decade old next yearJesus Christ
>>139456120
It's funny because Lucky Star and Haruhi both got shitty spin-offs no one wanted.
>>139456074
A "remaster" is just the same show but with a different design.
Watch the original Clannad, the backgrounds and aesthetics are amazing but everything is a fucking wreck
>>139456235
I really doubt KyoAni still has the original digital files for everything though.
Nevertheless, Clannad looks fine, the animation is still better than 99% of the shit that comes out today.

Any day now, Tanigawa will be found dead in his apartment with the partially edited manuscript to the next book on the desk in front of him. It won't include a conclusion.

I know I'm plenty of hours too late, but here's how you fucking do it:
Season 1 aired on its own out of chronological order.
Season 2 was actually part of a rebroadcast of season 1, and the season 1 plus season 2 episodes together were placed together in chronological order.
So, while season 1 was meant to be watched OUT of order, season 2 was meant to be watched WITH season 1, IN order.
Thus, the only TRUE "broadcast order" is season 1 broadcast order followed by S1 + S2 chronological order.
That's the most authentic experience, but if you don't want to put up with watching season 1 twice, just watch chronological.
>>139458073
or watch season 1 in broadcast, then the season 2 episodes keeping in mind where they fit in with the season 1 episodes, since those are still fresh in your mindcrunchyrollhas the episodes in this order, I used that order with the youtube streams in 2009, it works well

I've always been against watching it like that. While season 1 release order is paced better, full series chronological order is better at building up to the movie. The last couple season 1 episodes at the end of chronological are much better of an ending note than Sigh, which is pretty clearly the weakest arc (minus a certain set of episodes that can hardly be called an "arc"). Also, just "keeping in mind" these things provides a much more shallow experience than actually experiencing things as they happen.
The order you're suggesting is perfectly viable for rewatches, but for first-timers, I'd say to go with either "true broadcast" or chronological.
>>139445838
>>139459206
the problem is that the season 1 order is actually really well put together, and you can definitely sacrifice season 2 at the alter of having that experience in my opinion
while the full season 2 experience would be great to segue into the movie, rewatching so many episodes so soon after isn't fun. it worked in broadcast because there were years between the airings
you could take a break of however long it takes you to want to rewatch episodes to make it work, but unless you do that, preserving the season 1 order and compromising on season 2 to make it work is the best way
>>139451264
That was a sequel with completely different characters, not a second season.
>>139451264
A better comparison would be FMP, to be honest.
>>139442621
Kyon is such a smooth operator
>>139459408
Hm.
I guess it just all depends on what you're willing to sacrifice. I suppose another in-between option could be to only rewatch the S1 episodes that follow Sigh.
To be completely honest, I'm partial to the Tanigawa order myself, but that's definitely not best for a first viewing unless you want to read the source first.
This is getting really complicated, hot damn.

the thing about first time chronological viewing is that the climactic episode of season 1 appears in episode 6, there's a reason the "melancholy" episodes are spread throughout because each of them contain major plot revelations, and chronologically that is all frontloaded, so it's a very poor way to do a first time viewing
you could attempt to construct an entirely new viewing order that interweaves the season 2 episodes with the season 1 order, but then you kinda have to deal with the fact that there are two endings, one for the season 1 plot, and another for the season 2 plot
viewing them separately however you get a proper development of season 1, with the appropriate ending and introduction of 00. And then a second development of season 2 that gives a new context to season 1 and has its own ending. The only thing you're really missing is the chronological connection between someday in the rain etc. and the movie.

Oh no, I agree.
Remember what I keep saying, I'm more in support of "true broadcast" order than chronological.
That's S1 broadcast followed by S1 + S2 chronological.
>The only thing you're really missing is the chronological connection between someday in the rain etc. and the movie.
That's why I said that it might be good to watch season 1 broadcast -> season 2 broadcast -> rewatch of the season 1 episodes that follow season 2 chronologically. (perhaps minus day of sagittarius, but who the hell would want to do that)
This way, you more cleanly segue into the movie and only need to watch 3-4 episodes you've already seen - and mostly good ones, at that.
>>139460329
alright yeah that sounds like a pretty good idea, I agree with you there
