Kadokawa: No Haruhi-chan For You, Idiots!

Fans hoping to see the scheduled broadcast of Haruhi parody anime Haruhi-chan tuned in eagerly to their YouTube channel today, but were instead greeted with a 46 second “nice boat” video announcing that the video had not materialised, and nothing more.
The video accrued 165,000 views in the hours after it was upped, along with 2,000 incredulous comments and a two-star rating. You can view it here.
Efforts are currently underway to have it removed for copyright infringement (the yacht pictures).
It is not clear whether this is another of their wretched stunts, a genuine delay which they decided not to announce, or something else, but whatever the case it seals Kadokawa’s reputation as a band of untrustworthy trolls whose marketing department’s objective appears to be to grind the Haruhi franchise into dust.
Wouldn’t it be better to just not patronise such an abominable company?

If it wasnt for Haruhi, Id say let the bunch of f-tards rot.
There is no God.
Sure there is, she just doesn't know it yet. If a second season or haruhi-chan is finally released, she might find out.
So the Boat is Carrying all the Kadowkawa staff on it, and they are sailing away because they know now they are hunted by all the otakus. Yeah it makes sense now.
They forgot the ronery otaku have bazookas from their Gundam figures...
So this is like the Japanese version of RickRolling then?
Considering gg subbed the first episode, I doubt there is anything to complain about.
I liked it because i could watch it on and on from different - seemingly, at least - perspectives and say "woo, they read Lyotard before to make up this one!". I wasn't a Haruhi fanboy from the start, the animation and style didn't please me, but that narrative was too much post-modern ( as in the french school, just stated ) to not let me fall for it.
It was the greatest honey trap of all the times, aye.
Melancholy is a mood disorder of non-specific depression, characterized by low levels of enthusiasm and eagerness for activity.
Com'on guys, Kodokawa is tryin' to cure the fans "melancholy", be thankful...
Yacht is going to Australia :D
Nice yacht! :D
i dont blame them if the otaku is too pushy or whinny bastard!
You get pissed too if they ask "is it there yet?" for every damn second in three years!
TIME TO move against otaku!!
If they plan on doing what I think they're doing, things will pick up at around 18th to 24th of December.
If they're not though, this is still funny stuff. (=w=)
Nice Troll
EXTREMELY NICE TROLL...
this is first time see many people
smile because retard f*ck*ng troll
there are 2 fans indeed
1. Haruhi Fans
2. Troll fans who prefer see Boat in beach than Haruhi
It's great that haruhi tortures it's stupid fans..
Average at best, but attracts the biggest geeks, dorks, otaku, etc., of them all..
LOL!
~ My sides are aching because of laughing too much...
Nice Yatch but i hated the red and yellow stripes.
EPIC LULZ! NICE BOAT THERE
And the fail train rolls in from Haruhi once again.
Looks like they really wanted an angry mob with torches and pitchforks to come to them. Well here they come!
I bought a boat because of this.
...actually...
it's out now...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7_80zTM3Dg
...also with official subtitle.
I guess the nice boat move was a joke by KADOKAWA LOLZ
They do it for LULZ.
Just watched it and meh... people are supposed to get excited over that? Terrible quality.
Wait, so we've been DOUBLE TROLLED!
You have to admit, they got us pretty good this time.
All faith in that company has been completely restored. Definatly with the offical subtitle.

Oh yeah, follow the links on poster's comment for the openning video and Nyoron Churuya-san ep 1 too.
Maybe somone can explain this to me. Why is Haruhi such a popular anime? I mean, it was ok, and entertaining and I laughed some. But it was only 13 episodes, and some of them were pretty lame. Also, am I the only one that views Haruhi herself as being kind of a bitch? She doesnt care about anyone but herself, for the most part. Nothing in this anime, seemd to make it stand out more then any other anime. Sorry, Im probably going to get hate mail for this, but I just want to understand why this anime has such a missive massive phenomina of a fan base, thats everywhere. Its just strange to me.
My guesses are:
1. It's made by Kyoto Animation
2. Yamakan's effort on ED
3. Strange story line
I'm certain many people including me start watching this simply because of point #1.
No idea really, just an another anime out there to me. But anyways I find myself not giving a flying fuck anymore if they air it or not. I mean do they have some funny reason to do this "trolling"..what's the point e_e?
It's a totally overrated anime, much like Lucky Star. It had nice animation and interesting characters, and Yamakan, but the storyline must rank as the worst of any major commercially successful anime.
It has however succeeded in creating a fanbase of such zealous devotion as to fall over themselves to give money to their abusive masters at every turn...
I agree Haruhi is overrated(and I'm one of the people overrating it) but in my personal opinion, Lucky Star is underrated! It's my favorite anime(so I'm completely bias). I've read lots of reviews where people hated it because it was about nothing and wasn't interesting. What show were they watching?!(well i can kinda see their point sometimes, but still...)I can only pity those fools for not seeing all of the beauty that is Lucky Star.
I love lucky star too (l)
I liked the storyline, myself, although I'd be the first to admit that although it has great ideas, it goes nowhere with them, especially in the books.
At least it's better than Naruto.
They should just stop and take a good look at what they are doing. The straw that breaks the camel's back is coming soon.
see the nice part: is a NICE BOAT!
Fuck Kadokawa, everyone go spamm their comments box in Youtube.
First trolling us with Haruhi S2 teasers and now a Haruhi-chan no-show?
Fucking pieces of shit
i think this is short for "f*** you for watching this"
no point for putting this vid up but to piss off haruhism-ists(is that even a word?)
I can taste the worldwide butthurt.
10/10
Trolling is a art.
Kadokawa mastered it.
Hey guess what Kadokawa?!
NO MONEY FOR YOU!
You know you have fallen really low when you start stealing ideas from School Days.
lol Nice Boat indeed....looks like you've been Kadokawa-rolled...
I think it's kinda funny. There have been so many fake Haruhi related announcements and that's definitely one of the best.
I think it doesn't matter in the end. If there should ever be a second season, all the people who are moaning around now will watch it, just because it will be worth watching it.
All of you angry people need to update your sense of humour. I'm laughing like mad here, and so is Artefact, I'm sure.
I'm actually laughing at the fans who continue to put up with this...
You know if I was a Haruhi fan in addition to being a Sonic fan, I'd likely have killed myself ages ago.
There's nothing wrong with Haruhi, there's something wrong with the people making the serie.
I think Grant Morrison or The Invisibles are in the control of Kadokawa and KyoAni now, and they're trying to see how much Kaos they can put in a single product.
Looks like the Haruhi fans are being treated more like lab mouses than consumers. :/
