Correction. It should be “I’ll see you all again 2 weeks ago the day after tomorrow, again!”

It’s been like 4 or 5 episodes?

I can’t say I really remember how many there’s been, it’s all just dejavu now.

Is that what KyoAni is trying to do? Trying to get us feeling like Kyon or bore us to death like Haruhi is doing to poor poor Yuki?

It’s a good thing that Yuki is an alien humanoid interface that doesn’t really care for much besides doing absolutely nothing and observe, or in this case, watching real life re-runs. Otherwise she’d probably committed suicide over 15,000 times.

Hey, if you’re going to get resurrected again in 2 weeks just to experience the same shit all over again that you’ve been through hundreds and thousands of time already, might as well enjoy the 2 weeks of peace and quiet, right?

Spend nearly 600 years of such repetition and the death for 2 weeks option might actually start to sound like a good idea.

I have a theory that there will be 8 episodes in Endless Eight. It’s KyoAni’s way of trolling us and hoping to get away with it. They messed up the episode order in the first run, so now they’re giving us the same episode over and over again.

It could also be that the scriptwriters decided to take a long vacation and they decided to just use the same script with some brilliant fashion change since the animators are obviously still working – lazily I might add.

I wonder if Sugita et al has gotten sick of recording the same script over and over again. I bet Minorin completed her lines as Yuki within an hour for the entire Endless Eight arc right even before she came over for DaiCon last week.

It’s amazing that no one has actually thought of actually trying to do something about the loops other than just talking about it. Or that no one bothered to asked Yuki to actually tell them what was going on from the very beginning of the next loop. Sure, she’s just an observer. But history has shown that if you ask, you will receive – especially if it’s Kyon asking.

Kyon should just kiss Haruhi. It worked the last time Haruhi worked her magic on the world. It should work this time too.

Maybe I should just read the novel and find out what actually happened.

Is this action even possible??

Either Haruhi is really supposed to wear that in the novel, or KyoAni decided to use Aya’s choice of wardrobe during the gekisou as an inspiration:

Or… I just have a very dirty mind…

In case you’re wondering, it’s considered lucky in Japan when a person’s first dream in the new year includes Mt. Fuji, a hawk and an eggplant. Or something like that. It was mentioned in Lucky Star before but I’m too lazy to actually go find out about it.

You gotta feel kinda sorry for Mikuru-sheep though.

Ero game playing Nagato FTW! The part where Nagato saved Kyon from Ryoko’s attack is pure gold.

Google it!

Churuya died. The end.

Someone’s been playing too much Persona…

Wow it seems that I had missed something big in the last few days while I was busy with my Idlelogy forum. (Off topic- please do come and join us at the forum. We have an anime & manga section as well. We’re also looking for a few moderators, so if anyone is interested, please contact me.)

Word is all over the blogosphere that KyoAni dropped Haruhi’s sequel, and in it’s place will be an entirely new Suzumiya Haruhi. Apparently, the original season 2 was scrapped off because of some vague reason that they couldn’t just do it so they scrapped it for an entirely new Suzumiya Haruhi series.

Honestly, it all seems very vague and twisted and I won’t be surprised if it all came out as nothing more than a marketing ploy. It’s Suzumiya Haruhi, after all. She thrives on the buzz this kind of announcement creates. Remember last year’s video on tanabata?

For all we know KyoAni is just trying to lead us off track and suddenly surprise us when Haruhi gets aired next month. I mean, it’s possible. They don’t need to do any real promotion for it and like I’ve pointed out above, Haruhi lives on buzz so it might actually be better to keep all hushed up about it other than a few pieces of controversial news like this.

Gawd… Kyonko is freaking hawt!

But it wouldn’t be too bad if KyoAni really decides to drop everything and completely remake the series if they take the gender reversal route. In fact, I would love it very much – Kyonko is never a bad thing XD

Haruhi with long hair… mmm… delicious!

I can’t remember where I actually got this image from, just that Haruhi’s long hair and seifuku is very similar to the ones in the Haruhi scan that’s been going around with this announcement.

The fact that there will be a Suzumiya Haruhi game on the Wii isn’t that surprising, especially considering how well it did on the PSP. But what’s surprising (to me, at least) is that the game is (almost) all about Hare Hare Yukai. Suzumiya Haruhi on the Wii will be a dancing game.

The dancing mini game in Warioware Smooth Move was one of my personal favourite, so if this new Haruhi game is anything like that then its probably worth checking out. Now everyone can learn the Hare Hare Yukai from the comforts of your own private room.

Although there hasn’t been any news yet, The Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi should be just right about the corner. I suspect that the game would be out around the time Haruhi’s 2nd season starts airing, which could be as early as Summer. Does anyone know if KyoAni have anything lined up for next season yet?

It’s rather impressive, especially how solid and fluid the designs and animations are. Not to mention, it’s just awesome to watch Haruhi, Yuki and Mikuru in medieval RPG garments. My best pick would have to be Yuki for this one in her ranger/hunter looking outfit.

Oh, Kyon and Koizumi don’t look too bad, either. But you’re probably not interested in them

Well, it doesn’t really matter if you don’t, since the final product is already out and you can watch it right now.

I think I saw King Kong’s sister in there… Or is it brother…

They actually did Michael Jackson’s Thriller before, and from the looks of it, we could probably expect something nice from them

1. Videos From DaiCon Cosplay Finals 6 finalists for the solo cosplay competition at DaiCon...

Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.

The Host and Co-Host of Suzumiya Haruhi no Gekiso

The MC for the event was none other than Shiraishi Minoru aka Taniguchi. Yes, he’s also the same Shiraishi Minoru from Lucky Star. The co-host is Megumi Matsumoto aka Kunikida.

The show is divided into 2 parts. In the first part of the show, the entire cast of Suzumiya Haruhi was brought on stage and introduced. Sugita Tomokazu (Kyon) appeared on-stage cosplaying as Char Aznable.

Kyon is… Char Aznable!

The best entrance belongs to Matsuoka Yuki aka Tsuruya, who started to laugh in her trademark (note: evil) laughter from all the way behind the stage until she appears.

“HA HA HA HA! Nyoron! Tsuruyan des~u!”

Even if you don’t know what the seiyuu looked like, it is very possible to guess who is who simply by looking at their actions. The hyper-active Aya (Haruhi), the calm and collected Minori (Yuki) and the bubbly Yuuko (Mikuru). Sugita, on the other hand, did the unexpected and came out as Char Aznable.

It’s Yuki, Kyon, Haruhi, Mikuru and Koizumi on stage!

The director, Tatsuya Ishihara and character designer Shoko Ikeda was also called on stage. Some of the most memorable scenes for each character is then shown and discussed. You would need to be able to understand Japanese to fully understand what’s going on here, but even with my limited knowledge, I was still able to pick up the gist of things.

After that the cast did a skit.

Is it just me, or does Sugita seems to be hiding something under the Char wig and the hat he’s wearing now? Hmm…

And there’s even Mikuru Beam…

The Actual Concert…

Is where the real fun begins. The concert portion of Suzumiya Haruhi no Gekiso started off with Mikuru with Koi no Mikuru Densetsu. I’m not sure if she’s doing it on purpose, but she can’t really sing. But if she’s doing that deliberately, then she’s a real good actor. Otherwise, it’s still good, because we’re talking about Mikuru after all

Mikuru complete with a maid uniform…

I’ve seen many of Hirano Aya’s pictures and videos, but she has never been so hot before.

“DID YOU CUM TWICE?”

Yes, you probably read that right… It said “Did you cum twice too? Feel so dirty!!! I need a tongue bath!”

And just look at the back of her shirt…

While I can’t make out the exact sentence, the final word is definitely “F*CK!!!” Seriously, what was she thinking!?

Minori’s performance was one of my favourite in the entire concert portion of Suzumiya Haruhi no Gekiso, especially with her Yuki, Muon, Madobe Nite.

Minori has an awesome voice and she’s gorgeous to boot!

Then Hirano Aya returned on stage… in what at first appeared to be lingerie…

Actually… it might really be lingerie…

Yuki surprised me with a great performance. Natsuko, on the other hand, was great with her voice as Ryoko but her singing was only so-so. But the song was kinda catchy, though. Still, no complains here it was still fun

ENOZ – God Knows

You know what would have made this scene perfect? A pair of bunny ears…

Like so…

A comparison between the performance of God Knows in Suzumiya Haruhi, and the Suzumiya Haruhi no Gekiso that was portrayed in Lucky Star -

After performing God Knows, Aya goes on to introduce the band members, just as Haruhi did in the anime, before performing their next song, Lost My Music.

The Guys…

Ono Daisuke wowed the crowd with his flashy moves. Granted, he’s not a great singer, but he has great moves!

And we finally get to see why Sugita has been hiding his head under wigs and hats…

OMG! It’s… KYON!

The fans went nuts when he first appeared, chanting his character name in unison. I’m not sure if he’s playing some part of his character, but Sugita seems pretty stiff and uncomfortable during this performance. Aya, on the other hand, was a natural.

And IT happened… The Hentai Trio

Minoru cosplayed Haruhi…

I think I may be traumatized…

Self-declared, the Hentai Trio…

Introducing the Hentai Trio:

• Hentai #1 – Sugita
• Hentai #2 – Minoru
• Hentai #3 – Daisuke

I have no idea what they were trying to do, nor do I think I would want to know…

Hare Hare Yukai

The girls came out for another song before the finale.

The finale, the epitome of Haruhiism, the moment all devout Haruhiist present had been waiting for… The Hare Hare Yukai…

The Hare Hare Yukai

Watching the dance performed in real life by the cast… priceless…

And the final part of the dance…

Pure satisfaction.

Encore! Encore! Encore!

The fans screamed for an encore, and an encore they get. The encore was the TV version of the Hare Hare Yukai, with Sugita and Daisuke joining the girls. The giant screen also showed the full animated dance as well.

Everyone was now in more casual clothing as well.

Everyone getting comfy in casual clothes

You can see the animated version of the dance on the giant screen

… and FINISH!

End of Show

It actually got quite emotional towards the end of the show.

A job well done!

Minori asked for silence as she delivered a special message from Yuki… “Daisuki…”

Hirano Aya got over emotional and broke out in tears.

Aya was so moved, she broke into tears…

When it’s her turn to speak, she once again gets emotional and sobbed through her thank you speech. I think she tried to put the blame on Kyon for teasing her too

Aya’s speech is easily the most touching moment in the entire event. I felt moved as well even though I only understood about 70% of her speech. A truly great end to a truly great event. I seriously hope the event would repeat in the future and maybe to attend it in person if possible as well.

Backstage…

Tears are still flowing… Sobs could still be heard… Aya was really in an emotional fit.

… and Sugita/Kyon continues to tease…

I’ve said before, I would rate this 12 out of 10. A must have for any Suzumiya Haruhi or Hirano Aya fan. Wait, let me rephrase that. You cannot call yourself a fan unless you have this! This receives my highest recommendations!

If for some reason you have not gotten your hands on this, do it now! Grab Suzumiya Haruhi no Gekiso!
