Haruhi season 2

Post by aine »

<img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... >/geof.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':geof:' />



If I understand correctly, a new episode was aired to everyone's surprise instead of an old one in the middle of a scheduled re-run of the first season. Supposedly there were a few subtle hints or leaks foreshadowing that, but not something a casual reader would catch. Guess I count as such now that I can't be bothered to lurk /a/ quite enough. D:



Anyway, I both hate them and adore them for this ploy. Hate, because this means we'll have to live with this most annoying hype for the next gods know how long, adore because they managed to spark this kind of hype YET AGAIN. With the same franchise.



At least season 1 lived up to the hype, unlike some other rip-off shows (I'm looking at you, Konata). So yeah... I'll update with my impressions from this new episode after work. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /ph34r.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':confused:' />

Totally downloading this right now. Haruhi was one of the few shows that I really enjoyed.



I have a lot of high hopes for the new season and the production quality.

I haven't watched it yet, but I've read the story it is based on and know that it will inevitably be awesome. Sadly, the new episodes are distributed within a reairing of the existing ones and the next one that we haven't seen will be in three weeks. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /frown.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':confused:' />

Watched it and felt like it was 2006 all over again! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':confused:' /> The new episode felt perfectly like part of the 1st series, quality- and continuity-wise. I suspect that if you watch the whole bunch of 28 episodes in chronological order once it's finished it will be perfectly seamless. Although I didn't bother to dig up any of the older episodes to verify that, perhaps the animation quality has improved too much to remain unnoticeable. The Evangelion Rebuild movie did that to me - the re-drawn scenes looked exactly and positively as I remembered them from the TV series, but when out of curiosity I played a TV episode afterwards I was like WTH that looks like crap. D:



But so far the only thing inferior to the original series was the ending song. Pretty bland and generic, and nowhere near as ear-gougingly catchy as NAZO NAZO.



Anyways... This will probably be the first in forever series that I will follow as it airs, true to the saying that I best like the movies that I've already watched. Here's the supposed (found on /a/) airing schedule:

It's back! Damn, 2ch must be blowing up like crazy! Kind of sneaky of them filling in new eps to "Melancholy" to tide us over until "Disappearance." hits in the fall but I'll take it.

It's weird that they actually mix the new episodes into the old season.

Completely retarded, if you ask me.



I don't really have the time/patience to rewatch the old episodes for a 3rd time, just to know when these new episodes are supposed to fit into the timeline.



First it takes them FOREVER to make a new season and then this crap... what's so hard about just continuing the damn story !? =/

I thought so at first, but think about it. By doing this, they no longer have to re-explain everything to the new viewers and can jump right in where they left off. I suppose they could have placed all the new episodes after all the old ones, but the odd chronology is part of the appeal of the show, so it works better this way. I think.

I still disagree, as I don't care about new viewers.



I watched the first season (what should we call it now ? first version ? uncomplete series ?) on purpose in the chronological/timeline order, not in the weird way they showed it on tv.

Yeah, if you look at what they're doing, they're filling in the gaps of the first season. In August, we'll get an official 2nd season, probably with new intro, new name, "The Disappearance of..." Just think of the next few new eps as a teaser, along with the quite excellent Haruhi and Churuya mini eps. Those were adorable.

I don't either, but the TV executives who determine what gets shown do.

This is suboptimal in my opinion. The best order for Haruhi is the original TV broadcast order. It's actually kinda uninteresting after the main plot ends, if you watch it chronologically, which is why they made it interesting by mixing the chronology up, so you don't know what's going on until the very end. It's only because moaning idiots couldn't figure it out that they even reverted to the chronological order at all. To me that's what makes the show a masterpiece.



Anyway, this episode was pretty great, although the reference to the previously made episodes was a bit over the top. Doesn't quite compare favorably to the original run but it's not grotesquely out of place either, so I'm happy so far.



Too bad they didn't redo the show as they had planned, I would've liked to see their take on the Disappearance-style characters. Perhaps they will?

LMAO I was just about to post how god-awful MAD I am about these "endless 8" episodes. I will burn KyoAni to the GROUND if they do this shit for EIGHT episodes. Perhaps this would be better if they threw in unrelated episodes ala the first broadcast order, but I don't want to see the other side right now, this has to stop! This is why I stopped watching anime. KyoAni must not have made enough money whoring Haruhi out from the first season, since they're making bank recycling the same crap for the past four episodes. I'd take DBZ AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAA

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA with the first half being a recap of last weeks MMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA over this trash!

Today I finally thought "hey, let's look into this fucked up mess of what the call the second season..." and so far it seems Episode 8 and 12-14 are "new" episode, but I'm not sure and totally confused on every damn irc chan of releases I get on.

As expected, bitches should have just made a normal second season.

Yes, you're right 8, 12-14 are new. And yes, you're still complaining about the same thing as before, though it's really not that hard to follow. Anyway some fansubbers that I've seen are calling them "Haruhi Suzumiya 2 - 01," "Haruhi Suzumiya 2 - 02," etc. if that helps.

no, before I was complaining about the studio mixing new with old, now it was more like a general statement, that with some irc bot listings got really convoluted.

Not to spoil anything, but hahaha, it's still going. I honestly don't mind since really it amounts to only 30 minutes of my entire week, so I'm not getting worked up every week hoping it'll finally end like some fans. The direction of the episode gave some new visual motifs to keep a look out for to break up monotony from previous episodes. And there is some pretty awesome BGM that this episode provides.

It's mostly frustrating because there's only x amount of episodes this season and almost half will be essentially the same episode in different wording. Also the first season was the only anime I watched until K-ON aired and I looked forward to the new season. So yeah, definately pissed that Haruhi reverted to the same pitfalls that made me stop watching anime in the first place.

Re: Haruhi season 2

I guess my thoughts on it are, as opposed to the anime tricks (which I think I would agree turned me off the medium the same as you) that were in things like Dragonball, the "stalling" actually has a "purpose" if that makes any sense. The only one that has really annoyed me was the third Endless Eight because there was absolutely nothing new in its approach to telling the same story. The fourth one at least tried to change up the direction a bit. But sure it's no Run Lola Run or even something ridiculous like Groundhog Day.



If this really does take up more than half the new episodes, I can't see it working out for them unless they've already made a third season to follow this immediately.

With seeing Ep 16 (the 5th Endless Eight episode), I think I finaly understood that they want to show off how that purple haired girl feels. (Nagato ? I always forget her name)



Guess I'll just skip through the next few episodes until the last Endless Eight (probably Ep 20), there's really no reason to watch the complete 25 minutes each and every time.

I'm not sure what they're trying to accomplish with it. If they wanted to show of Yuki's feelings, I felt that way by the third episode. :/ I'm amazed it took you that long, hahaha. At least do the "variations" she talks about in her speech! I'm not bothering to watch it anymore, unless I hear the non-endless episodes are awesome. This second season was probably one of the most hyped seasons going in, and they utterly destroy it with this stunt and the "viral marketing". The DVD sales are going to be nonexistent. Don't the Japanese put 1 or 2 episodes a DVD and sell them for exorbitant amounts of money?



Just a heads up to other people who browse the bbs at work, that site is VERY NSFW. Good thing I hit it up at home. I hate to say it, but otaku destroying things make me laugh. They've already paid for the figures, at least sell them or something (and the ones he had were expensive too! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' />. I like that he destroyed the novels too, like they had anything to do with how the anime is directed. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... >/rofl.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' />

After browsing that site those 2D v "3D" girls comments really, really, really creep me out. I hope they're joking and I'm not in on the joke.

Yeah, the books at least get through the Endless Eight section fairly innocuously which is what they're angry at. But yes, from the few times I've stumbled across that site, I'm pretty sure that the people who constantly defend their 2D girls are pretty serious.



Anyway, I agree. As I said before, if the "real" season doesn't start immediately after this ends, then I think they've lost the majority of their fans. Or maybe I'm just hoping? Or we could just keep copying and pasting our comments on this season from this thread over and over, and it'll be like we're watching the episodes for the first time.

Endless Eight.



Take a wild guess how many episodes there will be.



Also they have no rewatching value what so ever. Well done KyoAni...

In case somebody of you completely stopped watching the new episodes, Endless Eight is now over.

The resolution was retarded.

If anyone stopped paying attention because of Endless Eight, the latest episode is new. I liked it, but it's nothing earth-shattering that would bring back any disgruntled fans.

I'm still watching, Endless Eight was pretty bad. Not like outrageous or anything, just really really boring.



The new episode was a good break but hardly exciting.

Another boring and uninteresting episode.

I only laughed once and smiled once, other than it wasn't really entertaining, guess I'll just stop watching it.

I don't know why I watched through all of Endless Eight..I just kept looking for all the differences, but it was so boring.



I woulda been happier with Endless Five.



Latest episode didn't feel too much like a Haruhi ep to me.

The last episode made me think that this "season" is just to fill in some gaps. Perhaps they knew they'd waste all that time with Endless Eight, so they knew there was no purpose in putting exciting episodes in the season. The fan in me is hoping that means that they have an actual season being made already.



But that's all baseless hoping of course.
