Those fuckers extended endless 8 to fucking 8 episodes, 5 episodes longer that it needed to be (hell, you can watch episodes 1, 2, and 8 and NOT MISS ANYTHING) just to make the arc that the fans were most looking forward to into a movie so they could milk even more money from them.

I'm not getting on the hype train for this, but I am looking forward to more Aya Hirano voicework.

>>22442
are you really looking forward to more Aya Hirano voicework?

Looked it up, this isn't being done by Kyoto Animation. I had the feeling it would be but guess not.

I didn't like haruhi that much

I was confused when I first heard about it and was surprised there wasn't more hype. turned out to be a different studio handling it with different art so I can see why that was. Bit disappointing but at the same time maybe it'll mean they wont do any trolling with it like the other guys.

>>22444
I've always wondered why Hirano gets so much flack. I don't mean to direct this statement right at you.

>>22440
is this a troll or is that actually supposed to be Haruhi

>>22468
All the anime, manga and everything else is just an interpretation of Noizi Itou's light novel art anyway. Its not supposed to be a carbon copy, differences are to be expected.

>>22463

Ignoring her ability as a seiyuu (which many people don't rate highly to begin with) the reason she's so hated is related to a certain scandal from a couple of years ago that you're better off not knowing about.

>>22463

Aya Hirano wanted to be an idol. Then, as she started to get some popularity, she started to learn about the disgusting fat otaku idol worship culture first hand (she was very innocently oblivious to what actually goes on, very ironically). She then tried to put up with it for a while, as her worshiping fanbase (and her popularity) grew, culminating in her having a pissy fit alienating 90% of her fan base (90% by number of yen spent on her idol crap) in a very rude twitter calling the disgusting fat otaku what they are and then offering sex to every member of the band she was in at the time. Only the basist refused the offer, on account to him being already married.

Sadly, this ruined her VA career as well, as those disgusting, fat otaku fanbase and people who buy anime BD/DVDs fanbase have a 70%+ crossover.
The next airing season, she had 0 roles offered to her, and it took a while before the anime studios opened up to letting her use her vocal talent again (lots of 2ch boycotting of anything related to her).

It's taken a while, and she has had a few small parts, her being included in Gintama was probably the biggest role given to her at the time, but I'm happy to see her get a main role again.

>>22475
as a disgusting former idol worshipper, your post has cause me some small amount of distress although to be entirely honest aya's sluttiness actually kind of turns me on.

>>22475
Holy shit, didn't know she was Migi. I mean, I condemn her as much as the next misanthropistic otaku, but she's definitely a good VA voice vice.

>>22475
They got so mad at a twit that they started boycotting her works?
I guess it hit too close home, those disgusting japs

>>22475
That bitch pig doesn't deserve anything good.

>>22475
Loosing their temper and calling out fat creeps on what they are is one thing, but fucking every member of their band is just disgusting.

You missed the part where she deliberately whored herself out to further alienate them.

>>22488

For all you know, she's been doing it with every band she has sang with, and that's the only time anybody actually spoke up about it.

>>22498
except she obviously hasn't and this entire drama is stupid

>>22499
Obviously hasn't? How do you know?

>>22444
Read the synopsis. Yuki as a normal girl?

So it's a standard high-school anime reusing slightly tweaked Haruhi-tachi character designs? If so, that's LAZY.

>>22511

So boring.....

I dropped it like a hot potato the moment I heard Nagato's voice.

>>22771
I think he meant the anime.

>>22771
I think he meant this anime

>>22772
>>22773
Nice

I believe a sequel should retain the art-style and the seiyuu of the original anime.
I would want everyone who did the voices in the original 2006 anime to do the voices in the third season of Haruhi too (if we ever get another season).
Seiyuu should be judged for their voices, not for what they do off the set.

>>22775
Is this really a sequel though? Don't seem like one to me. I'm not sure if I'd even call it a spin off because of how different everything is. Feels more like a reboot if anything.

>>22776
Maybe more than spin-off it's a spin on the series.

Have there ever been any anime like this? where the characters are all the same, but their personalities, back stories, relationships with each other, and pretty much everything else is completely different?

That was a nice little touch, having Asakura hum hare hare yukai.

I just watched the first episode. I don't think I'm able to take this, not even for watching Haruhi in her glorious long hair and dark uniform. While Nagato in the Disappearance movie played the human counterpart card responsibly and with moving results, this is just crap. I could maybe get used to the poor art and character design (I never thought I could miss Kyoani), but not to that stale level of SoL stupidity, not for the nth time, not anymore.

I was thinking... Why is her place (still) so empty?
Before it was empty because she was a alien who had no need for anything unnecessary to clutter her living space, but here she's a perfectly normal girl... and now that I type this I'm wondering where her parents are and why she's living there anyway.

This Yuki seems to have a strange fascination with turkey...

ep3 - nagato gets cuck'd

>>22846
Anime girls love meat.

>>22846
the way she says turkey makes me swoon

>>22842
i am also wondering about her parents.

honestly i enjoy this anime. its cute and im interested where it goes (why its called the disappearance and if it will have anything relating to the original story)
I'm wondering if this is some weird alternate timeline. Never actually read the manga.

That OP feels very lackluster. Bit disappointing compared to the ops and eds of the other series.

>>22827
I'd been waffling on whether or not to pick this up, and your post really made me decide not to.
I picked up the manga when it started and dropped it for similar reasons.
>>22867
Yeah, it's really just a 'what-if' for the parallol reality Yuki created in Disappearance. The manga was fun for the first few chapters.

For whatever reason this version of yuki is weirding me out. She's almost creepy in a way, which is kind of ironic since this version is much more normal than the original. I guess I haven't completely gotten over what the original/real Yuki is supposed to be like.

So umm... Are they living together or what?

also someone needs to tell yuki that masturbation will help her fall asleep at night because it is pretty clear that not masturbating is preventing her from sleeping.

>Ep 4
>14:40
>First appearance of the main character

so i know the new studio realized that they has to draw kunikida differently from the way kyoani did it (which was nagato with brown hair), but did they have to turn him into mickey dolenz?
he's supposed to be cute

I haven't seen the show itself, but from what I've read in this thread it seems really bad. There's no way I'm going watching this.

>>22957
You're better off. The way I see it there's two ways of going into this show. You can forget everything you know about haruhi and take it for what it is with that being a very mediocre, generic, and awkward harem anime. Or you can go into it as a haruhi fan, and hate everything they've done to the series while lamenting the disappearance of the Yuki Nagato we all know and love.

Tell me about it...

Man that look sure is a hell of a lot better than the old alternative. Kinda makes me wish they went with that for the design in the original series.

This left me feeling really sorry for Yuki... again.

>>22926
I want to say they're roommates, but that would be pretty weird since you never really see that in anime outside of the occasional dorms.

I find it amusing how this version tries to do it's own completely different thing separate from the original series, but still keeps making references to stuff only fans of the old series would get. Kinda makes it hard to judge the show on it's own if it wont let go of it's mother's hand. Shouldn't be much longer at this rate before they bust out the smoked cheese.

I wonder why they didn't make this Yuki into more of a tech nerd instead of a casual. Not sure if she even owns a pc really.

Holy fuck, I just found out they used the same VAs for all the main characters, including Haruhi and Yuki.
Yuki sounds so different I can't believe it..

>>23057
I thought the very same thing.

>why they didn't make this Yuki into more of a tech nerd instead of a casual. Not sure if she even owns a pc really.

>>23062
She clearly showed an interest in computers in spite of her repressed emotions (or lack there of). I would think that in a universe where she's free from those restraints that she would end up pursuing those things more.

I like how he didn't even try to get up.

>>23069
Do you also like how he "stumbled"?

I don't understand why all these cute girls want Kyon's dick so much. Does he have like a massive cock bulge and they censor it out or does he smell really nice or what?

>>23086
Sometimes I wonder if the world of anime has a massive imbalance in the numbers of boys to girls. If there are for example three girls for every one boy then that would explain why so many anime feature picture perfect girls fighting over dull generic boys. Besides, many anime seem to be completely lacking of any men at all. They might not really have the option to be very picky and figure as long as it's not taniguchi, they're a boy worth fighting for.

>>23087
Deconstruction of the harem genre. In the anime we slowly learn that the male population has become scarce and somehow it fucks with people.

>>23086
in the case of nagato its because kyon was just the closest guy and she is a horny young girl with cute damp panties underneath her little uniform skirt and she lusts for a hot 2d injection of cocks, cocks, cocks and more cocks. the other girls want him because he is the only hetero male in the show that isn't taniguchi and also because they wouldn't get much screen time otherwise. to me its pretty clear that haruhi's only real romantic desire is to be tentacle fucked in some sort of alien abduction scenario

Are people still watching this show?

>>23098
Nope, we're just guessing and speculation as to what we imagine the anime to be like. No one on /an/ actually 'watches' anime.

>>23105
We love to hate anime.

>>23106
It's anime's fault for making it so easy!

>>23119
Not sure if serious...

>>23120

Nah, this troll has been around for ages and we can't seem to get rid of him no matter how many times he gets banned. He just keeps proxying his way back in. Ignore and - if you feel like it - report. That's about all you can do.

When you see it I guess?

It would seem breasts are magnetically attracted to kyon's head.

looking forward to this onsen ep
also two episode beach trip soon

i wonder if that onsen ep is going to be less censored on the BD?

>>23209
Is the bird photoshopped in from some random guy or did they actually use that as censorship?

Asakura giving off some strong yuri vibes.

>>23255
Seriously.

zomg wtf is going on in this sol moe high school romance

>>23209
Did the acutal have a censor like that?

>>23272
nope, that's a shop.

>>23272
its one of commie's epic 4chan memes

I can't believe Yuki went back to being her old self again. Things are finally starting to get interesting.

Kiritsugu?!

It wasn't enough that they made him look like a generic harem mc...

this last ep 14 was truly excellent beyond all reasonable expectation and haruhi was even more gorgeous and amazing than ever.
how the fuck kyon rates that i have no idea, but he did look pretty hot in the teaser at the end i guess.
looks like soft core porn next ep, looking forward to it.

I'm a bit surprised by how dull and boring this show has become. I'm barely remembering to keep up with it at all. I wouldn't say it's bad, it just feels very uneventful and lackluster.
