The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Discussion Thread

[Waddle Bro]

Idk if you've read the manga for that spin-off but I'm really excited for the anime adaptation~~~

Yuki is one of my favourite characters in all history :]

[Jompa]

I'm gonna keep my hopes down until we know who's making it.

[SlowPokemon]

Ohhhhh if KyoAni isn't making it there's no way I can watch it.

[Waddle Bro]

Tbh I doubt KyoAni would be making it. But still, I'm excited!

[Jompa]

Weeell, I kinda think there is at least like a 10% chance it's them - despite the Aya Hirano scandal-stuff that led to them not wanting anything to do with her. I think this because KyoAni and Aya Hirano just worked together on a video game (featuring Haruhi&co) back in summer or something, so a lot of people on the internet have the theory that they've like made up and stuff, which would be amazing. Though I'm just being optimistic, which is something I really don't want to be.
I don't get what KyoAni is even doing these days... Their last 6 shows were garbage, and they haven't made something great in like 11 shows... (at least according to what should be considered the KyoAni-standard)

[Maelstrom]

What is this even?

[Jompa]

Are you asking what this entire topic is about, or just what we're discussing right now?

If you're asking about "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya":
It is (imo) an out of this world amazingly capturing and well-done two-seasons-&-one-movie-anime series from 2006, 2009 & 2011, adapted from a novel series. The show can be described as "unique", but at the same time not weird. It covers all kinds of genres, and kinda aces them all imo. And the music is enough reason alone to watch the show - like seriously - holy shit it's amazing.
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is seriously a show that no one can dislike. After watching it you just know that you'll never be able to find anything like it.

If you're asking about the current topic of discussion - the anime adaption of the spin-off manga:
As announced last year, that manga will get an anime adaption, and yesterday it was announced that it will happen sometime in 2015. From what I understand, it will be about Yuki Nagato in the alternate world from the 2011 movie. Wether or not Kyoto Animation will be making this show as well is a pretty big deal for most Haruhi-fans, I believe, so that's what we're discussing about now.

[Mashi]

this isnt an even, maelstrom, this is an odd

[Maelstrom]

this isnt an even, maelstrom, this is an odd

I'll say... 

[Waddle Bro]

Basically maelstrom, if you're real, you'll watch the show

[Maelstrom]

Basically maelstrom, if you're real, you'll watch the show

So, I'm fake and don't exist because this doesn't really interest me? Interesting logic....

[SlowPokemon]

While we're on the subject though, even if KyoAni is producing this new series, I can't help but be disappointed that they're not making more Haruhi. I'm sure the Yuki manga is good and all but there's just no way it can stack up.

[Jompa]

But the way I see it; if KyoAni is doing this series, it means there is hope for more Haruhi.

[Jompa]

News about the spin-off: All the voices will be done by the same VAs (which is amazing), but it won't be KyoAni - it'll be Satelight - and all the staff members will be new people (which sucks).

[SlowPokemon]

That doesn't sound very promising...
