The first three episodes are currently subbed, so my question to everyone here is how many of you have converted to Haruhi-ism?

Here's a clip from episode 3, which shows you a fool-proof way to get a free computer.

Just converted about 22 minutes ago. From what I understand of common law, since you introduced me to this, for the time being (ie between now and whenever I find another series to get excited about) I am, your biatch.

Damn common law.

"Wrong! Next time On Haruhi, episode 2, Haruhi, episode 1!"

I don't know why but that cracks me up.

I saw some of the gifs on the chans and looked it up on youtube. I find it amusing but the greater question is how it became so popular so fast.
Oh and speaking of fads lets make that dance from the end song the new macarena :wink: .

it's odd...perhaps it's my age (being a baby-boomer) but i couldn't help but think of an old, old rock song while watching the girls in that little dance number....the song was "three cool cats" by the coasters (1957...told ya it was old) if you can find a download of it, listen to it wand then watch the girls.

It was so funny how she got a free computer.

Episode 4 Is now torrenting.

I have only one issue though. It will arrive at the same time as Karin #2.
Bah, waht am I talking about, Haruhi wins out automatically. Already watched thre first three eps twice and express-posted them to a mate (who is unfortunate enough to be on narrowband AND in the army).

I really hate the fact taht bittorrent goes to the first decimal point in the "percent downloaded" area... 100 "clicks" I can stand, but 1000? Man, there's only so long I can stare at the agonisingly slow download. 12Meg cable is not enough, I want gigabit FTTH!
Yeah, laugh it up, it's not my fult I was born and raised in a second-world country where "broadband" means 64k and capping at 10 gig is the norm.
Sometimes I wish that a certain prison fleet had never left port...

at least you don't have to wait an hour or more to see a half-hour episode on youtube :roll:

Watched the first two eps. Loved the theme song for the first one Mi-mi-mikuru Beam!

Attempted to convert 3 friends, but think i've overloaded them with anime and they're reluctant to start watching yet another new series before finishing the others.

Stuff them.
I've got one mate who won't watch anything (anime or otherwise) until you physically force him too (or offer him beer to stay put).
You can send him DVDs or whatever, he'll jsut never watch them.

The best example o this was Kiddy Grade. We sent him the DVDs, and he didn't watch them for 6 weeks. Then, when he got up here on holidays, we forced it upon him. Top to tail in one night, and minutes after it was finished he was busy downloading wallpapers and the like...
(Incidentally, when we showed him ES he knew that we thought he'd think it was funny, so he deliberatley prevented himself from laughing. This lasted about 2 episodes before he couldn't take it anymore and burst out laughing).

Anyway, moral of the story is to never relent on your friends. It's for their good, and any moments of weakness or levity on your part wil only show a divided front, and they'll use that as an excuse...
