The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

[Niall!]

Anyone else ever watched it?

It's the only anime I've ever bought.
I'm also considering buying the light novels.

I've seen it, and it is an extremely enjoyable anime. Despite what people say though, it never was very memorable to me. I watched it, loved it, but then didn't really think about it anymore. It's amazing how it's basically spread throughout the entire world though. It's popularity is insane for an anime. I'd consider buying it if they didn't charge so much for the DVDs. Why do they only have special editions? What happened to the standard volumes? I don't want to pay double the price when all I want is the DVDs. :eusa_wall

Aparrently Newtype promised "big news about the Suzumiya Haruhi TV anime" in their March issue. Can't be about anything else other than the second season.

The fans have already gone mad.

"Fans have immediately split into two raging camps, those who regard this as provocation designed to stimulate interest about some lesser event, or perhaps a pathetic tidbit along the lines of Haruhi's new hairstyle, and those who think this to be the One True Announcement heralding the airdates for the new series."

[Niall!]

They won't change her hairstyle, or is that officially confirmed?

If so, looks horrible.

And yeah, it's pretty expensive, but worth it. I love the series and know the full ending dance from the special ending on the DVD.

Also, I've been waiting for season 2 since I saw this, and I don't think it'll come out, but I can always hope!

I don't know if it's official or not, but looks like Newtype has a few things to say about it. I think there is a chance they might change her hairstyle.

The Hare Hare Yukai? What things do you get in the special edition by the way? I know you get a CD of some sort, but what else?

Also, did you watch the series in aired or chronological order?

So meh. might buy it next month im prefering to buy series in box sets now. usually get extras like that.

[Neversoft]

I only buy Region 2 stuff.

[Southe,]

why? most dvds now are region free. and you get more choice, and more for your money :S

[Neversoft]

Quite simply because I don't have a reigon free DVD player. Region 2 DVDs are often better anyway. The Region 2 Death Note DVDs have 8 episodes per volume instead of 4, and Bandai are releasing special versions of Gurren Lagann for Europe only. I would like to get my hands on some Region 1 stuff though. A lot of anime distributors have a third party company distributing their DVDs over here now, and waiting just plain sucks. Plus it will be nice to buy DVDs knowing that the BBFC havn't messed around with them. The Region 2 boxset for Paranoia Agent is cut by atleast 1 minute. It would make the world a better place if most DVDs were region free, but they're not. Where'd you get that idea?

Anyway, how much does it cost for a region free DVD player these days? I actually think my dad's is region free and he got that many years ago... must be cheap now.

[Niall!]

Loads of extras.

Yes Chirs the Hare Hare Yuki. Yeah so what it's fun.

Can only do Haruhi's part and Kyons part though.

[Neversoft]

So what? I know it's fun. TMoHS has the best ending ever tbh.
