via ANN : The Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi will be released in the form of a movie in Spring 2010. KyoAni film? Yes please. KyoAni Haruhi film?

HNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!

That’s right. We are two episodes into The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi Season 2, and the new OP, Super Driver has me Haruhigasm-ing. Sure, most people out there think its not as good as, say, Bouken Bouken Deshou, I’m going to have to disagree with them. After watching the OP just twice, I was hooked. I present exhibit A (be patient, its ~700kb):

My weaboo Saturday afternoon = time well spent.

From today’s Daily Dose

According to Gigazine’s website the “renewed” airing of The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suuzumiya anime series is 28 episodes long. Gigazine said that they had contacted the Teletama broadcasting station and a representative had reportedly told them that “we hear from the client that it is 28 episodes long.” J-Cast had also contacted Teletama upon hearing the news and they were told that the “renewed” airing will also include new material due to the planned 28 episode allotment. Interesting…

So, everyone.. tell me what you think KyoAni will do with 28 eps of Haruhi?

CCY > 25 MINUTES OF HARE HARE YUKAI
Ci > They (will) air it in normal order, THEN THE AIR IT BACKWARDS, THEN HAVE ENTIRE EPISODES DEDICATED TO SHUFFLING THE DANCE.
Shin_Asuka > they animate the entire series with figmas in stop motion
Shance> the next Haruhi will have flags … for routes … and then hscenes … nuff said

As for me? You know that episode dedicated to Nagato sitting on the chair reading a book? Yeah 16 episodes of that.
This is cokematic, reporting live from #dasku @ irc.rizon.net , Chiriririririririririririri!

No… really.

I got my Puchi Haruhi nedoroid set #3 late last month and boy was it worth it. They now sit nicely ontop of my TV. One complaint is that some of the parts don’t fit too nicely … especially the arms.. got they just kept falling off! After putting together 6 of them I got frustrated and went to play some GTA4 instead -_-; I had Lucky Star nendoroids before and I never had this problem with them. But for MOST of the figures in the Haruhi set, things just didn’t fit nicely. I wonder if complaining to Danny Choo would help?

Rock band costumes! In realtead news, the 1/8 Scale version will be out next year!

Day of Sagittarius

My Enpatsu Shakugan ver. Shana Nendoroid arrived last week and she’s just so cute! She comes with 3 different faces, 3 pairs of arms, her cape, her sword Nietono no Shana and Alastor. She has found a home ontop of my PS3.

Yes, that is an Aspergillus oryzae plushie sitting in a cup

#dasaku@irc.rizon.net – where intelligent conversations take place … sometimes.

So I will be away from work for 5 days in a row (although 4 days have already passed)… without taking a vacation! partially thanks to typhoon tropical cyclone Nuri which is a cooler name than Fay, but that’s not really the point of this post. I spent most of the past 4 days doing nothing except chatting on IRC, playing some GTA4, and watching AIRA The Animation.

First off, many thanks to pantherRH for bringing this to my attention in the dasaku IRC channel:

First thought that came to mind was “DO WANT!!!” … I’m particularly interested in the “Day of Saggitarius” getup. The other one is… if-SOS-dan-forms-a-band getup? Its also quite cute, except Kyon and Istuki look totally gay.

Honestly, I’m not too into figures. I’ve never owned a figure that cost more more than $15 USD (it was a red Canti figure .. unfortunately.. his head snapped off a few years back T_T). Also, the last time I bought these Nendoroid petits, I was going for Kagamin. Unfortunately, I got a Konata, Miyuki and even Tsukasa! And when I went back to the store… they were sold out T_T.

Anyways, according to Jop, if I buy a case of 12, I should at least expect getting the set of 10 (and maybe the secret figure if I’m lucky). However, he was refering to the Negima set he bough .. which is not a Nendoroid petit set from Good Smile Company, so it may not apply here. If I can find someone to buy the doubles off me.. then I won’t mind buying two crates of them (amounting to 24 .. which should definately get me the set… unless I’m super unlucky… which might actually happen). If anyone out there has bought a case of Nendoroid petite, please let me know if I can get the whole set (not including the secret figure) in a case of 12!!

Also, Nendoroid Shana and Hatsune Miku are on my watchlist (pre-order of Miku is already closed at HobbySearch, but Play-Asia still has some, albeit slightly more expensive).

And ohbytheway, Nendoroid.org is a great site with all the GSC Nendoroid released so far. I’m still waiting for the day when a Gurren Lagann Nendoroid set comes out.

Secondly, some funny developments fansub dorama (so what’s new?) over at Chihiro subs. The article itself is short and can be summed up in one line “someone deleted out tracker stuff and we lost all our subs… halp plz!”. Now, I don’t watch their stuff:

Chihiro’s current/active projects

1. Penguin Musume <- kinda interhingested, but probably won’t watch.
2. To Love RU <- lol no.
3. Sekirei <- no
4. Ikkitousen <- no
5. World Destruction <-no
6. School Rumble San Gakki <- watching Wannabe’s version

but its kind of hard to imagine that between all their staff, they don’t have a copy of their own work. The only explanation I can think of is: “not even chihiro would archive chihiro’s releases.”

Anyways, there are many nuggets of gold amongst all the flames and blind faith, out there like this one:
“@koda: if u think ur better than Chihiro, try to sub faster than them”
So now speed => better?

and then you get stuff from the freaks of the interweb:

Hi, I am Lucy from Elfen Lied. I know why everybody, the leader of GG, Jaka, the sicko that impersonated Kristen , and people from deculture and other fansub groups, and a whole entire moron convention, are ganging up on Chihiro. It’s because, like I said in the end of episode 8 of Elfin Lied, “when you’re miserable, you need something that’s even more miserable than yourself.” And since you can’t find anything more miserable, you decide to make some one else miserable. It’s why and how bullying exists. When people are miserable, they seek to make someone else more miserable to make themselves feel better and superior. I was bullied when I was young, so I know. Those faggots killed my dog. T.T

and oh, btw, I think I might start by ripping off a couple limps… =)

I literally facepalmed.

Moving on then.  Thanks to Hemi, I’ve discovered the greatness of xkcd.

One of my favourite comics
Hey I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this somewhere (4-chan maybe?)

And last, but not least a LOL JAPAN video (someone’s got alot of talent and even more free time)

There sure are some scary people out there. I remember my first exposure to Lucky Star was some guy in a mini skirt trying to mimic Motteke! Sailor Fuku. Since then, my retnas have never been the same I’ve stuck to ANIME parodies only, and boy there are some good ones out there.

However, I’ve recently been exposed to the dancing sensation known as the Zombies. And words can’t describe how epic they are. What’s even better is that they can do it while wearing silly silly masks.

Motteke! Sailor Fuku

Hare Hare Yukai

Now Coca-cola Japan just needs to get her to endorse them~

Anyways… new site theme… and banner. I thought I needed a wider theme and the banner was something I vectored. It turnedout to be a giant monster that is worthy of being a wallpaper… but let me just fix some things up … ill probably use it for my second monitor.

I’m still tweaking things (ie sidebar is not exactly what I want yet… and even the haruhi vector is, in my opinion, not done. I want to fix her eyes since I think they should be a little more yellow)

If only I wasn’t so distracted with Bokura ga Ita…
