Haruhi’s remaining deluded minions have reacted with surprise and some delight at the news that the upcoming “Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya” movie adaptation will clock in at 150 minutes, far longer than anyone anticipated.
At two and a half hours the movie appears to be the rough equivalent of 8 episodes (perhaps an unfortunate choice of number), presumably more than long enough to cover the events of the novel – indeed, there is already some speculation that the novel may not have enough material to sustain the film fully, suggesting additional material or novels will be involved.
It remains to be seen just whether this turns out to be an epic finale to the TV series, or an excessively drawn out death rattle as the franchise finally expires…








Looking forward to it!
...Why can't I quit you, Haruhi?
Why Haruhi?
It's about NAGATO YUKI.
+1
I'd watch The Melancholy of Yuki Nagato.
+9000
I'd watch a Yuki Nagato only tv channel. God I so love her.
As far as Haruhi, I only got excited this past season when she came inches close to getting a facefull of Kyon fist. Man if he connected, I would have paid good money to see that.
+9000
Nagato Yuki FTW!
As far as Haruhi, I only got excited this past season when she came inches close to getting a facefull of Kyon fist. Man if he connected, I would have paid good money to see that.
Yuki is nice too, but I'd like to watch Melancholy of Asakura Ryouko.
Nah, I'd prefer Kyon no Imouto no Yuutsu.
well both of you shall be happy then... it contains much of each... so
I'd rather watch The Melancholy of Tsuruya
I'm pretty sure those last two characters don't experience melancholy in any sense. And Yuki may be permanently stuck there.
No, it's Haruhi's show, because she's all kindsa bipolar...
I second this. Tsuruya no Yuutsu.
or maybe even Churuya.
For once, I like most of your suggestions, sankaku deviants.
Genji can suck it, tho.
How about, Melancholy of slightly older and nicely proportioned Asahina Mikuru?
I agree. The primary draw to the series for me was always about Nagato Yuki.
"-indeed, there is already some speculation that the novel may not have enough material to sustain the film fully, suggesting additional material or novels will be involved."
They'll cut in some scenes from Endless 8 from Yuki's POV I bet. Maybe they'll show us some doujin-esque material we always imagined about E8.
Hopefully the movie will include Snow Mountain Syndrome and, of course, Disappearance epilogue (or actually book 7 prologue).
What I wonder now is... will the ending be satisfying?
WORD!
100% agree.
Well said dude. Just cause of that, I WILL WATCH IT!
(everyone will still watch it though, despite the trolls, so that they could TROLL about it some more)
+2
agreed.
what about kyon and his denwa? ;_;
This movie is all about Ryouko Asakura for me.
ENDLESS EIGHT!!!!!
its not like i paid for the shit
I need to agree, another reason why S2 sucked was because of the lack (or should i say the absence) of Ryouko.
+8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8 etc
That's surprisingly good. I thought they were gonna have it shorter and miss out a lot. I may be wrong.....
....unless they have a flashback to endless eight. Then I may start killing things...
I don't understand why Nagato has so many fans. When I look at her, all I see is a big brain floating out in space somewhere.
you sir, have completely not grasped what so AWESOME about the goddess that is Nagato Yuki-sama. first of all, she's frigging nearly all powerful, so prayers just might work. then there's the quiet and shy personality that a certain percentage of the male population fawns upon. not to mention shes hawt.
but all of this is not as important as the fact that she can totally pwn you at any game you'll ever play.
word.
Nah, that new manga that starts Nagato is lame. She is the best here in this Haruhi filled worl. I'd pick her over all those other characters any day.
Nagato owns Harhuri any day. If Nagato really wanted, or if she were allowed to, she could easily just jack that idiot's so-called "power" and and just as easily truly rule the universe.
For once, I like most of your suggestions, sankaku users.
Genji can suck it, tho.
Shit. That comment shoulda been posted way up instead. Fixing....
A 3 hour anime movie. Yeah, sounds fun.
Sounds as fun as a root canal.
well if its that fun then im going to the dentist right now!!
=w=
Sounds like someone can't do maths.
120 mins = 2 hours
--->150 mins = 2.5 hours<---
180 mins = 3 hours
Because Haruhi is a brilliant series. Except of EE.
That is one super cute picture of Yuki! <3
2 and half hours? i can maintain of dead corpse who die of starvation, thirst, solidify asses and exploded bladder.
oops missing words and wrong spelling
2 and half hours? i can see mountain of dead corpse who die of starvation, thirst, solidify asses and exploded bladder.
The abscense of an "edit" button on this site really makes some ppl look stoopid
WORD! XD
Two observations:
Most people do not even read what they have written, so it unlikely they will benefit from editing.
If people can't even be bothered to check their posts, why bother adding an edit button?
Anyway, you can edit your comments by switching over to the forum view and editing there.
Thanks didn't know that
oooo yes. This will be fun.
Indeed! Wherever it's fail or success, we still can find something to be entertained about. If's a success, we'll enjoy their product, if it a fail we shall savor their pains. Both are entertaining in it own way >=)
Though, if it's a fail then the fan boys whose bough the product hardly found anything to be entertained except completed their collection. Well, I guess we shall savor their pains too.
Well I hope we get to see some sex scene even if just a for 2mins.
I would just pay some money to go inside and have sex for 2 and a half hours in the cold and gloomy theatre... nice
great!, finnaly some good haruhi! this movie will bi EPIC
i hope its good :D
NAGATO YUKI!!!!!!
2 1/2 hours of Yuki goodness... This should be good..
pro troll is pro
they're just going to replay endless eight
LOL
that would be so funny
Like we haven't heard that for the thousandth time.
Movie will still be shit though.
obviously u've never read novel 4
Or at least part of it, say a flashback of 45 to 60 minutes.
better watch first than dissapointed by kadokawa troll for 2 1/2 hours
A testament to the fact that only Nagato Yuki is good enough for the big screen.
Holyfuckingepicwin YES!
Kadokawa was really right about otaku being idiots afterall. Why am I still hooked to Haruhi?
Because the story is actually interesting? The only people who are considered idiots are the ones actually buying the EE dvd's.
150 min long ? Okay, not bad....
Just can't wait to watch it then...
This extra scenes will be probably be more キョン~くん、電話!
holy crappppp
cant wait =3
simply Epic,
"the movie appears to be the rough equivalent of 8 episodes"
Can it be endless eight again? Others eight times.
Despite all the Endless Eight scandals, my hopes have still risen to believe that this time there will be no trolling in this movie. However, 150mins of the same ep over and over again in ANY movie will truly disappoint me and make the 1st Endless Eight look like a goddess. Kadokawa, please no nice boat this time! If you do, the Haruhi fanbase will lose more of its supporters, having perhaps even a fewer left of those "remaining deluded minions," and even I will be sad to say that I was once part of the former glory of what was a most epic anime.
After this 150 minutes-thing I am somehow starting get more doubtful about them seriously going through with it, and now it smells more troll than before.
But regardless, if the movie is real, then I will enjoy watching it. If it's not I will suffer half a million butthurt fanboys whining. I guess it is a win-win situation.
Those who are seriously getting their hopes up too much after this almost deserve to be trolled.
Reverse psychology is not an effective way to market things.
At least, it's not moral enough by the justice system and SOMEONE would be getting fired for it.
So it's not a smart decision.
I expect them to pay up front for Endless Eight with this.
Maybe they didn't have the money and are selling crap on DVDs, just to fund this movie?
...
That's an excuse I'm willing to accept. >.>;;;
I think Kadokawa could redeem themselves a bit if what you said was true. But who knows? Maybe the amount of dvds solds determines what's on the movie and how effectively it will be played out, both quality and animation wise. Although I'd rather have a high quality driven plot over beautiful animation quality any day!
Well this movie better not be troll or some another endless eight or i'd be afraid to step into the cinema again
I will only watch it if they pay me U$ 1 million + lots of hot virgin lolis ready to eat.
its ok, miss out on the awesomeness more nagato for me
They're most likely going to slide in the first and last endless eight episodes before transitioning to the Disappearance story. This is going to be an interesting movie.
Unless they're pulling a Moogy Bomb teasing, it still sounds too good to be true.. :<
so what does nippon think about this revelation? anyone know?
They are slightly aroused, but too drunk/polite to do anything about it.
Doujinshi will be purchased.
wow looks like we can't abandon hope yet
maybe recycling the scene for 150 minutes. epic winzor
Endless Eight... MOVIE EDITION :D
+1
This joke isn't even funny anymore
Lol you mad?
More disgruntled
All I care about is if this movie will have Yuki Nagato, Kyon, and a moneyshot. Period.
Anything else would be a waste of my time and currency.
If this is the Disapperance we have all been waiting for it may save the Haruhi anime and bring about a season 3. If this is a pile of crap or the dreaded E8 movie we will see the death of the Haruhi franchise as a whole.
Meh not really looking forward to this movie much. I just can't bring myself to be excited about Haruhi any more.
Here's hoping this will come out to be awesome (unlike endless8) >_>
ALL HAIL HARUHI
Nagi is the only true God. Haruhi is just a wannabe.
Endless Eight Special Edition
Weird. I was thinking about this the other day. That is actually a bit longer than I was expecting. I was figuring around 90 minutes.
150 MINUTES OF FAPPING!! YEAHHH!!!!
150 mins?! 2 words.
Penis Necrosis.
several words:
extremely long lasting staying power.
One word: Viagra.
I have nothing more to say but cant wait to see Haruhi, yuki n Mikuru in their cute outfits
they r legends... (^_^)
I bet they'll throw in the prologue to novel 7 (which is also the TRUE end of novel 4) in there. Although that would mean they have to skip over Snow Mountain to do it
...and then when it finally comes out
SURPRISE ENDLESS EIGHT MOVIE! :D
I'm thinking with this run-time, we'll also get the prologue to Volume 7.
They milking skill is somewhat to be feared, with the ability at that level, I guess they can even make milk out of a rock.
They owe us this long of a movie do to endless eights, hopefully the cake is not a lie.
The film is all of endless 8 back to back
thats it
don't waste ur time or money on this shitty dead franchise
butthurt hater that doesnt want to see people liking Haruhi again
never liked haruhi in the first place, she's an annoying bitch.
People only like it for fan service, shallow fuckers.
butthurt hater that talks shit because he can´t accept the fact that Haruhi is so immensly popular!
What's so popular about a bitch who wanna suck Kyon's dick so badly that she keeps harassing poor Mikuru out of jealousy? Fuck, leave Mikuru alone, what did she ever do to you, you mother fucking bitch who thought you're all that just because you got some shit ass powers that you're not even aware of. Seriously, someone needs to bitch slap this hoe, she seriously pissed me off, or better yet, gang rape her sorry asshole or else Imma call Krause-...Oh wai-, I even feel sorry for his awesome dick to have to penetrate this whore's pussy.
Fuck that, she only had the nerve to harass and used Mikuru as a sex slave yet she won't dare to stand up to the meganeko Nagato, what a coward indeed...
You ever think there might be a quasi-religious subtext to some of those events?
PUNK is dead!
Alternative smiling Nagato is worth 150 minutes, I could forgive endless eight..cannot unsee it, and cannot forget it, but if they do this thing right, I can forgive them
Mmmm, a Nagato with a faint smile... Mmmm... a Minorin with a cheeky smile...
Almost as long as the Endless Eight?
hopefully it'll "disappear" for good after this...
What they don't mention is that the movie actually consists of a 15 minute lead-in, a 15 minute lead-out, and in between, the same 20 minutes over and over again with subtle variations.
\o/ YEEEEEESS!!!!1!!
holy shit, yuki's smiling!
8 eps.
Endless?
cant wait..!
Hell yeah!!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
"as the franchise finally expires."
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....
THE ONLY ONE WHO'S DELUDED HERE IS THE WEBMASTER
Fresh from the money pouring into kyutard from thousands of utter fucking moronic otaatards, they've now enacted a new Brand NU Ass reaming with this new movie where they'll be further experimenting by showing the audience over FIFTY minutes of slooooooow camera tracking over a generic city while injecting a few characters talking about stuff.. random stuff.
What little remains of it will cover the Actual story and wrapping it all up TWENTY minutes before the end because you can't end with that. No, kyutard will then show the characters wander around the school.. wander around the city.. wander around the city some more.. wander around the houses they live in.. prepare for sleep......
The. FUCKing. end.
And since I despise EE so much, I'll post this again.
lol u mad?
i don't like nagato but what else can i do, just watch that movie because of the others and because of haruhi.
150 minutes is not roughly 8 episodes by any standards. That's just there to rile people up.
Roughly 20 minutes of actual content per episode, times 8 is 160 minutes though?
considering every episode is minimum of approx 22 minutes, the movie is about 7 episodes long AT MOST
Dude, split hairs much? The original 'Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu' arc was only SIX episodes long and no-one complained THAT was too short. This is going to be (potentially) awesome.
subtract 3 minutes for OP/ED
its 22 minutes approx AFTER taking out the OP/ED with them included its 24 to 25 minutes
The reason people are saying that this is too long is because Disappearance is the shortest book.
It's only worth like five episodes. This is gonna be... interesting.
2 hours of endless eight. can't waitttt.
Excellent....
I still enjoy the Haruhi series, but I don't hype it like I used to. It's not worth it anymore, really.
Wait and see
This is what I learned from watching Haruhi and Iet's hope they don't troll this time around
I'm hoping the movie will redeem the series for its endless eight fiasco.
2 and a half hours is long. I'll need to take a stretching break.
HA! I bet they just said that then it turns out it's just 75 minutes or something like that.. I think it's just a whole bunch of BS to stir up hype..
Please don't fuck with me anymore Haruhi franchise >.......<
The Melancholy of Nagato Yuki would be extremely boring if all she does is watch Haruhi....report telepathically, Watch Haruhi, Act subtly like a human(eat, sleep for a few hours, stare blankly into space), go to school, watch haruhi, i wonder if she showers?, go to class(while still watching haruhi), go to clubroom, watch haruhi, read book while watching haruhi, watch haruhi and kyon, go home.
Yuki!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She's smiling! She's tighteningly clutching the curtain!!!!! Just look at her expression!!!! Glasses!!! GAH!!!! Their actually doing the whole novel!! 2 hours and a half!!! I can't wait for this movie any longer!!!! Tanigawa-sama!! write more novels!!!! Don't EVER end Haruhi-ism!!!
Additional 50 minutes are gonna be random recap from old series... I'm sure.
Nagato with glasses = WIN
I cant wait!!! this movie will be the best of the year Xd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haruhi Suzumiya is still better than 100% of the other anime released in the past season.
Eight of the same episode in a row is still better than entire series' runs as of late.
I wish people would stop complaining about endless eight. We got our second season. So be happy that you got anything, also, Endless 8 was probably made to test out the Haruhi fanbase AND so that we feel Yuki's pain... We COMPLAIN so much and alot of previous fans hate Haruhi now because of it. Yuki went through it how many THOUSAND times?? How would you like to be Yuki? So DON'T complain.
Haruhi is an amazing anime and light novel series and I hope Kyoani does a big hit with the adaption of the beat Haruhi book so far, and return Haruhi to her fame and glory.
WAHHH sorry I accidentally replied to you... Its not meant to be at you.. I agree with you completely first Anonymous.
