It's over...

*sigh*

Heck... let's take a deep sigh one more time...

*deep sigh*

I'm so tempted to actually watch this from start to finish tomorrow... no more school ftw! Hidden folders ftw! (and you didn't need to be able to read Japanese to know that :lol: )

Though the interesting thing is that I heard the upcoming official DVDs in Japan will follow Haruhi's order. Because of that, they had to redo the episode previews with Yuki announcing them.

Does anyone know what was up with the talking cat in episode 1?

I expected to see it again sometime during the series, but I don't think it ever made another appearance (unless I missed something).

If that is true, then why did Episode 1 - Ashahina Mikuru no Bouken Episode 00 (chronological episode 11) get the first release? I think it's because Yuki = HAX. :wink:

Shamisen (the cat) doesn't show up in later episodes except in the opening credits. This is one of the reasons why there is a clamor for a second season. There are many more stories and details that should be animated. If not, hopefully some domestic publisher will license and release the manga volumes soon. I doubt the novels will ever be officially translated and published in english though. There are fan translations, but since the ones I've read about are done Japanese > Chinese > English, there are some additional translational errors that crop up.

I don't know about that, I hear the novel Crest of the Stars (Seikai no Monshou) was based on has been licensed. If that series can fair well it might just inspire publishers to bring other novels over.
As to other unofficial translations of the Haruhi books, A.F.K.'s already finished the first book and has started on the second. He is working straight Japanese > English. I personally have had no problem with either translation group and tend to be happy with whichever.

I'm almost tempted to try MUGEN myself.

Hm... there is another hidden Mikuru picture on the official website.

So far, I haven't found a link anywhere to access this pic directly from the site... it's not even on the hidden Mikuru pics page....

The irony I think is, when Mikuru uses her beam, and Yuki straddles her to the floor, does anyone know that Mikuru's beam is the real deal and almost killed the cameraman? :shock:

According to the novel readers...
...yeah, that was the real deal. I also heard something along the lines of Yuki "biting" into Mikuru in order to prevent her from using it ever again. :shock:


I know the first part is right.
