haruhi was a pretty neat series, but I dont find the women in the series to be anything special. Just generic big-eyes-small-mouth character designs.

I would think that way. Except that the development, budget and time put into the show was 10x that of almost any other show so the characters came out amazingly well done. And for the most part, aside from the normal crappy amount of doujins and some bad CG, we've gotten a ton of high quality CG and doujins on par with the Animes high budget detail and design.

So, I guess, in the end, I can't really agree with that. They had the potential to be that way. But a good studio and a lot of money and effort changed that. And them being the most popular show (after the never changing most popular show that is Gundam Seed) helped make the quality of their /e/ and /h/ very high in both quality and quantity.

I just finished watching the series a few hours ago. The ending left me mesmerized. And the only reason I even watched the show to begin with was because of the urging of someone on /b/, when there was talk of a season 2 coming along. Any news on that?

I read Bandai is licensing the series in May.

When will it be for sale? I had it as a full torrented set, but my harddrive unnecisarily (sp?) stopped allowing me to access the files.

first volume comes out on May 27th, but there are rumours that it'll start airing on adult swim before that

Will this thing even hit Adult Swim? Its not like the normal 20 minutes of long camera panning and diologue shots followed by 3 minutes of quick and "symbolic" fighting Anime they normally show. AKA Samurai Champloo, Trinity Blood, Cowboy Bebop, Eureka 7, Ghost in the Shell, etc.

When did they announce this?

God help us if Crispin Freeman actually got put in Cartoon Network. His ego would never bebe able to be contained. Not that it can be already...

As long as the Voice actors don't suck, I'm buying this series. Atleast on DVDs, I can change back to Japanese with subtitles if the voices are shit.

Crispin Freeman was actually on Adult Swim before. He did the voice of Tsume in Wolf's Rain.

Wendee Lee has already been on AS. She voiced Faye Valentine and will be voicing Haruhi. There was a promotional video showing Patricia Ja Lee(who played the Pink Turbo and Space Power Rangers) and was hoping she would be Haruhi's voice.

Ah then nevermind. As you can tell I don't follow his career much. Or really dubs at all... Just what my GF and what I see at some friends houses when I'm at their house.

However I unfortunetly run into him more than I want to because he's like the biggest star of all the conventions I go to since I live on the west coast and he goes to every big convention there is because he thinks he's the 'ultimate anime fan' (actual quote from him). Last straw was when he started 'hosting' all the discussion panels for the Japanese Seiyuu I was trying to see and he doesn't even know Japanese (and talked more than the guest).

Arg, I don't really want this to turn into a dub vs sub debate but I mean really, while I'm not a big fan of dubs, even then, he's not that good of an actor even compared to other dubbers...and he just gets so much praise for appearing everywhere when others just as big as he is don't seem to appear at quite so many cons or expos. I just think he works to be 'seen' much more than others...something a voice actor who is just dubbing over someone elses previous work shouldn't work so hard to be praised and 'seen' for. Its like he's looking for fame and popularity for being a body double for someone who doesn'tcome out of their house often.

But whatever....ramble ramble. You're here for pictures and most of you like him and this will just turn into a debate.

I still think he's a bad actor though, no matter how 'sultry' some think his voice is. A play through of Castlevania: Curse of Darkness can show evidence of this...

i haven't watched melancholy of haruhi, but from what i gleam from doujins and images posted seems to have a fair amount of cheesecake in the actual show.

maybe i'm wrong about that, but just the same, the Adult Swim anime block is called ACTN. they showcase action animes, not highschool comedies, highschool dramas, or highschool romances.

in my opinion Adult Swim would steer away from series with pantyshots, irrelevant beach episodes, and the like.

Their 'action' Animes are pathetic compared to what's actually out there, mostly consisting of 75-90% of diologue and camera panning and the occasional sword or gun fhashing out with someone doing some kind of areal stunt with blood randomly appearing.

Ghost in the Shell as an acception, Adult Swims line up of shows seem to be of this nature. Actual 'action' shows which would be more 'action' based would be more like Shonen or Sports Anime or even Mecha shows. And yes. You really haven't seen Haruhi. Haruhi, when put next to many episodes of CB, Samurai Champloo or Trinity Blood, it does have just as much action. Those shows have long periods of talking with no movement of the camera, characters or really much of anything except a random bird or a overhead fan or a butterfly in a window for 3-5 minutes for 'symbolism' (budget).

Haruhi will replace long talking scenes with Haruhi 'molesting' Mikuru and a diologue by Kyon and ideas from Yuki all with stuff going on from the animation side both in the background and from the characters (high budget).

And yes, there's action in the show. Its not an 'ecchi anime'. Though heven I thought it was from episode 1.

Adult Swim never announced Haruhi. They would never air Haruhi. Where the hell are guys getting that? Why are you all even discussing it?
