It feels like an anime adaptation of a low-budget live-action version of an anime. Cool.

I'm guessing you've only seen the first episode. Watch the others that are out, then all will become clear.

I think that we may have another convertee on our hands.

I'm starting to think that maybe Soske is getting payoffs from... someone...

I know that I'm tryign to get a few convertees here too, and the "uber broadband buyer" of all my mates, torrenting falls to me, so every thrusday I've gotta burn about 4 copies of the latest sub and post it aroudn the country...
As soon as it's licenced I'ma going to preoder. Even thinking about contacting madman (Australia's Only lincee as far as I can tell) and seeing if we can licence it here first and do a dub out here, jsut so I can geet my hands on it faster.

Always wanted to be involved in a VA recording...

Anyway, enough of that. Ep 7 should be less that 48 hours away and I've got to get to pining for it...

She doesn't pay me, she's blackmailing me with those damn pictures! I think she's done this before too...

Just don't go looking at tapeworm-like logos and gettign swallowed by a cave cricket like a certain other person that was blackmailed by her...

Now, I'll admit that it's only bee n5 minutes since I watched ep 7, but I've just got a quick question- is there some link between the VAs in Haruhi and those from FMP?

I ask only because of the Fumoffu and Second Raid references in Ep 7, and Yuki's attack looking very similar to a lambda-driver feild...

I will go to IMDB and research

EDIT:
Both IMDB and Animenfo have very little info on Haurhi, however the VAs for Soske and Kyon share the same surname: Tomokazu.

I'm not sure if it's a coincidence that the person that is trying to convert us all has this flimsly connection to Haruhi....

Tell me, when Koizume called out Fumoffu and Second Raid, did you have similar thoughts?

PS: I found out that Haruhi and Lumiere (from Kiddy Grade) share the same VA: Ayu Hirano, and that makes both series even more awesome, if that's even possible...

Kyon and Itsuki's VAs had minor roles in FMP. Though more notably, Kyon's VA was Rin, Mikuru's VA was Kaede, Kyon's Sister's VA was Lisianthus in Shuffle!. The FMP references in ep 7 were meant to be random "WTF!?" moments.

I believe that character is some kinda of Japaneese ledgend- hte "Red Racoon Dog" that was... rather fertile...

I don't konw the detials, but it's another one of those things that seems farily normal to the Japanese, but jsut makes us all scratch our heads....

I also believe that Anabuki corp was a large building consortium, however I've not NFI why they are using Red riding hood and the Red Racoon Dog in their ads- probaably some cheerful and hopeful message for hte future of the building industry... or something.

So we finally found out what happened on the island. So what do you all think of them showing the final episode for episode 9?

cpl_crud · « **Reply #41 on:** May 24, 2006, 08:45:23 PM »

wha? you mean there's only 14 episodes total?
That's crazy talk...

In any case, i have a feeling that the first "closed space" adventure will be the last episode- from what we hear in Episode 4 (7), something happened there, and I wouldn't be surprised if that something is something between kyon and haruhi- you know, the tpye of thing usually left for the end of an anime series... Plus, haruhi and Kyon were getting pretty cozy on the clifftop in episode 8 (10).. ie before they fell off... the whole thing in the cave should be ignored since we've seen haruhi doesn't care who sees her changing...

Besides, I think there is a lot of explaination still not revealed.. stuff that you would usually know by episode 10...

Like, really, what's up wiht Kyon... the fact that he doesn't have a real name instantly makes him suspicious, as does the fact that he isn't suspicous to begin with...

I'ma cooking up theories by the dozen here...

but, still, 14 eps? that can't be right, surely there's 26... c'mon... please?

And is there an english version of the manga, and is it still being serialised?

Soske · « **Reply #42 on:** May 24, 2006, 09:36:53 PM »

Sadly, the 14 eps thing is true because the company making the Haruhi anime will be busy with the Kanon remake (which, from what I've read, no one cares about). There is fan speculation that there will be a 2nd season, but nothing definate as of yet.

And the cave situation is interesting due to episode 2(1), where Kyon mentions that Haruhi views guys on the same level as potatoes when she was changing for gym class before the guys left the room, but in the cave she hesitated and put the wet clothes back on when she was alone with Kyon.

cpl_crud · « **Reply #43 on:** May 24, 2006, 10:39:08 PM »

Yeah, that's a good point- she also hesitates in taking off her bra (but then again that could be to appease the censors).

However, that "potatoes" line was Kyon's observation...

Bummer about the 14 episodes, however I'm sure if a) the manga is still serialised, b) the series doesn't finialie things (like Excel did) and c) The already fanitic fanbase makes enough noise, then there may be a chance at a second series.
Maybe an OVA at least...

However, on the up side, it does mean that all the answers will be revealed in 6 weeks.... I'm getting slightly excited here...

Went back and watched ep 2(1) to confirm some suspiscions.

After I get ep 9(14) I will make some speculations. They're already fairly solid, however the last ep sohuld have some extra clues etc.

Anyone else want to join me in the guessing game?
