Chapter 9: Haruhiism

Hmm, it's sure been quite some time since we have last touched on Haruhiism on this site, so I thought that it was time bring it up once more! (Of course, for those who found out about the virus in the code with regards to meleen, it wouldn't have been that long ago :D)

Besides the release of several new character albums, what else has been going on in the world of Haruhi ? Wouldn't you like to find out ? Unfortunately, we'll now be taking a short commercial break, and after we come back, there'll be more ground breaking Haruhi news for you! Stay tuned, we'll be right back!

-- Start of Commercial --





(Editor's Note: It's is basically stating that a TV Special version of the ED Theme, Hare Hare Yukai, will be included on the DVD)

-- End of Commercial(s) --

And now, back to the show! The official site for the ASOS Brigade (North American) has been launched and you can view their strange videos and stuff at their site. While there have been no official confirmation regarding a 2nd season as yet, there have been sources , such as Moon Phase (highlight to read the jp text if you want to),

＞ハルヒ第二期がどんどん遠ざかっていくなあ・・・orz
ハルヒ第二期は、再来年予定だったのが、スケジュール前倒しになって、来年秋で確定だそうですよ。ちなみに 、ゼロの使い魔第二期も来年秋スタートで調整中らしい。
追記. 大きく取り上げたわけではないのに、ハルヒ二期の噂に対する反応が大きすぎて驚く。ちなみに情報元は、前に 新劇場版エヴァの速報を寄せてくれたのと同じ方からのタレコミです。

which states that a 2nd season could be airing in Fall this year, rather than a scheduled 2008. If true, who knows what mischief Suzumiya Haruhi could be up to this time ?

Next up, we have . . .

涼宮ハルヒのライブイベント (Suzumiya Haruhi's Live Event)

Apparently, a Haruhi Live event is scheduled on the 18th of March, 2007, and if the poster is anything to go by, we'll probably be hearing and watching some of the show's songs performed live. (Hope they'll sing 'God Knows' if it really is a concert-style event! ) Heh heh, It's probably time to unleash our ESPer powers to view the actual show in real time Much to our chagrin, we ordinary humans who are unable to attend the event, will just have to hope that it is released in some sort of media in the future. Tickets to the event costs about 4500 Yen.

Next in store, we have the special version of Hare Hare Yukai (Once again on YouTube) for your viewing pleasure! Personally, I find the dancing super cute, haha! It would indeed be fun if many people start attempting to emulate the SOS Brigade's dance and post their videos somewhere for others to laugh at enjoy!





I find the initial part where she tries to quickly synchronise with the music a tad bit hilarious! The video here isn't generally synchronised after that though, so if anyone needs a better quality version, Genocide from the SOS DAN forums has generously uploaded it to his server, and the link to it is here.

(And no, it's not a sense of deja vu which you are experiencing with regards to Haruhiism. :D )

Update:
In the recently concluded survey from anime-source, the #1 spot goes to . . . The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi!
