Probably a combination of the 2009 series going poorly and the novel series being essentially always on hiatus due to the author being a talentless hack. No book sales to boost.

haruhi 2009 sold fine and endless eight has more artistic value than 99% of the poo poo anime being posted about in this forum. theres just nothing left to animate because the light novel author is a slow retard. also the novels are poo poo compared to the anime

I'm guessing the performance of this series will determine if the series as a whole will continue being animated. Even if not by KyoAni

The only problem with endless 8 is Japans stupid 2 episode per bluray release schedule.

i like the general premise of haruhi but kyoani is a HUGE part of why it's so good. the novels and manga aren't worth anyones time and neither will a season 3 not made by kyoani

I read the first LN after watching the show and movie like 4 times each and good lord. I don't think I've ever seen such an insane gap between quality of an original and it's adapted work. They made that series something else entirely and they should probably just do an anime original final season.

I think the only reason that the first season was compelling is because having stuff way out of order made it more interesting.

There's a decent amount, but most of it is an unfinished arc. I suspect a lot of people would kill for a Snowy Mountain Syndrome OVA, though.

IIRC the last time it was explained its because the main Haruhi exec got sacked and the author is too slow for it to be financially worth it.

They should do an adaptation of the fan 4-koma with adult Kyon and adult Haruhi. Possibly with the parts that include their children.

It's a running joke from Haruhi-chan where Yuki started playing video games and watching anime after being introduced to them through VNs. If something about a character doesn't make sense, watch Haruhi-chan and you'll see where it came from.

Fangz posted:

It's supposed to be one of "those" pillow cases.



E: Also, stick through to Episode 3, Haruhi pretty much comes back in full force, and there's an alternate universe Snowy Mountain.

I don't know, I think it is legitimately pretty good even in normal order, but it's better to watch the non-chronological order first.

Hey, while I'm here, why did this show's reputation decline so much? This is my first post in ADTRW but I've been on the forums a long time, and for a while, years ago, it seemed like everyone had a Haruhi avatar and the show was universally loved. Was it just because of E8 or was there something else? I have only seen three anime shows so I don't have much to compare it to.

I think it's just the usual pattern of hype backlash. Haruhi was always... okay. I guess there's also the Lost effect where people rated it highly because it had a lot of mysteries and open questions that people thought would lead to big awesome revelations, but it increasingly became apparent the series is in fact going nowhere.

I soured on the franchise after reading the books since it didn't look there was going to be any more animated and it turned out that the stories in the later books were both mediocre and aimless, which meant there was essentially nothing to look forward to anymore.

2006 Haruhi and the Disappearance movie are still pretty great on their own.

It's because a lot of people in ADTRW have bad taste. Haruhi is one of the all time greats.
