BRAND NEW WORLD!

Most likely. I'm around 6 episodes into it now anyway, its pretty good. I've heard the Endless Eight episodes are not too good though.
Also is there novels that add to the series after the anime and movie. If so is there any website that offers them in english and when are they published.

The anime is based on the novels. This website used to have all of the novels in English, but they've been removed due to a copyright claim. You may still be able to find them on another website though. However, if you really want to read them you might as well just buy them. Little Brown are releasing the novels over in the UK and Ireland. I would probably go as far as saying the novels are better than the anime, although the new film (The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya) was very good and I wonder how the novel will compare. Also, yes - Endless Eight sucks. Just watch the first episode, one in the middle and then the last episode. It's too late now but I wish thats what I did. -_-

Thanks. gonna do a better one since few of my friends like it.

Haruhi im gona watch when the Anime Legends boxset comes out. since its going to be like £15

Buy the Gintama dvd. £20 and its quite good, i cant see it getting a UK release and the dvd is pretty cheap anyway. Almost finished watching the 2nd disc

I hear the Gintama DVDs actually have translation notes. That is very good news. I'm in no rush to own it though. I understand it'll probably never get a UK Region 2 release but oh well, thats what torrents are for. I don't want to buy something I won't be able to use. I do hope to purchase the soundtracks at the Expo though, even if they are fairly expensive.

When are the novels being released and I assume they are still ongoing. With the popularity the series has it wouldnt be daft to think there would be another anime series on it?
Also, one questions. Does the novel trump the manga?

[Neversoft]

The manga is pretty dire. Don't even bother with it. There are nine novels in total, the last one was released in 2007. The Surprise of Haruhi Suzumiya (the 10th novel) is expected to be released later this year. You can find a list on Wikipedia. And yes, Kyoani plan to continue the anime.

Good stuff. When do Little Brown expect to release the novels and are there any websites that have it up?

[Neversoft]

The first two novels are out and Little Brown are releasing the third one in July (some sources say August) and the fourth one in November. This stuff really isn't hard to find out. A simple search on Amazon or a quick look on Wikipedia will provide you with all the answers you need. I refuse to answer anything else you ask from now on. :eusa_hand

[PaulMacC]

You did not answer if I could find them online Chris-dono-sama-kun.

Yea they do only few tho not to the extent that fansubs and CR had, No rush? thought it was your fave series D: stuff torrents i had all the eps of OP but ive slowly been buying and deleting them. And you could use.

Option 1: VLC on Pc
Option 2: Buy a new dvd player for like £13 and it will be region free, or your dvd player might be able to change the region in settings

Now im off to bed, hope royal mail don't deliver my package when im in bed (yn)
