Displaying the frighteningly zealous devotion so characteristic of hardcore Haruhi otaku, one such specimen has proudly been displaying his purchase of 30 tickets to see “The Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi.”
His commemorative photo:
No extras or specials come with the tickets, just the chance to watch the movie 30 times, or possibly once whilst occupying a whole row.

Congratulations, now you can watch 30 times the retelling of the Endless Eight arc
I'd rather buy 1 ticket and spend the rest for dates with REAL women and get REAL SEX.
Heck, I'd rather use the time and money to look for someone that looks better than Haruhi for REAL and cream her.
Damn right
gyahahaha, first I lol'd at the guy. Then I saw that a lot of people actually thought that he's cool or something for doing this, and constantly down-voting everyone that does not share your opinion...awaiting mine ;')
Look at me mommy, I'm different.
Good for you.
That's dumb. If he was really hardcore, he'd rent the whole theater room and watch it alone, or with a theater's worth of dakimakura.
Otaku should only tout their conquests if they're actually impressive.
that bastard!
its not fair for others :(
30 tickets for endless eight the movie? do now want ~_~
Hey, you don't know!
Maybe he's going to take his 29 girlfri-
HAHAHAHAHAAAAA
This is Konata logic taken to a whole new level....... of worthless spending.
translation:
"HEY WORLD, I HAVE NO FRIENDS!"
LOL
I'd do it.
I'm picturing this guy looks like Comic Book guy from the simspons, anyone else picturing that? It'll be funny if the movie has mostly re-used footage from the tv series..!
If that's what you think of then this really isn't the place for you.
I'll watch it 30 times for nagato.
i hope he's smart and resells them for double the price.
I wish I could see this movie. never mind 30 times.
Now I hope the movie's gonna suck.
lucky guy... hmmm... what's that in the top-right corner?
What if he sees it once and doesn't like it?
Now this is the definition of the difference between "dedicated fan" and "fucking moron". This guy doesn't even count as an otaku, he's just a goddamn idiot!
I wouldv'e bought 50 , one for me and one to spread the gospel .
30 tickets to "Strong World" or this, i wonder
Endless 30?
It looks like he is trying to have his own version of Endless Eight...Endless Thirty.
maybe hes gonna take his girlfriend and friends...haha
"maybe hes gonna take his girlfriend and friends...haha"
LOL!!! Please allow me to express my gratitude for making me laugh this hard on a personally gloomy day.
He wasn't satisfied with Endless Eight and got another endless twenty-two... and got endless thirty...
he wanted to watch it for thirty times Endlessly...
what a dick
Shopped. period.
Is this a case of 70% of goods are bought by 30% of the customers?
That's pretty much always the case. Movie's less so.
Aww,he should bring some of his pals.
The real question is why it was made into the a movie?
Ishihara: “Endless Eight… :-) Can’t we do that again, adding some new extras, try some film tricks out? Or is it too much? :-)”
Yeah, Endless Eight + 5 minutes of NEW bonus footage. IT'S SO WORTH IT NOW! Its almost a test of endurance, to reveal if you have a real passion for Haruhi. So you think you're a hardcore Haruhi fan? Well sit thru the same thing over again and again and again and again and again and again...
OH WAIT ISN'T THAT A FORM OF BRAINWASHING? Maybe tickets should come with a roll of tape so you forced to keep your eyes open.
This was made into a movie so that they could charge up front for the tickets and then charge again when it comes time for the DVD/Blu-Ray where people will probably end up buying 30 copies as well just so that they can push their idol of worship to the top of the sales charts again.
I mean come on the suspiciously long length and very obviously TV/OVA level animation alone hints that it was probably supposed to be an OVA series (162/23= 7 which is a pretty standard OVA length) that got stitched together as a movie for extra profit.
At least that's my theory and for Kyoani/Kadokawa I would not put such a manuever past them for a second.
No a single frame from any episode is reused or a voice recording.
Never mind, it's hard to know these things when you're just trying to be in the cool crowd without ever watching it.
Ah, so instead of being a way to minimize budget usage during hard times (which would have been at least understandable), you're applauding the fact that they made ridiculous use of budget in remaking the same thing over and over again, and then actually sold that, and that's fine and great?
Devoid of brain much or just the average haruhitard?
That last sentence made me lol. Pointing out facts immediately makes you either one garbled mess of memes or the other.
Really, read that last sentence aloud, it's hilarious.
Kind of like how you've pulled me praising it somewhere out your ass. I said such things happened but I' not wetting myself over it like a certain someone.
You're all fags.
What an idiot.
when it's out in te movies ?
30 tickets all for himself? Gawd, his butt must be sooooo huge that he needs 30 seats to fit in....
Such a retard, don't see the point why people are so worked up about haruhi shit.
Don't say I didn't watch it, I watched the whole thing. The first season may a bit interest but the second is definitely not. It was built up from the fame of the first one.
Don't understand why people so excite about this shit.
"I don't like this, so clearly none of you should either. Only my opinion is right, all of yours are obviously wrong."
Haha, good one.
"No extras or specials come with the tickets" are you blind? he has 29 extra seats which practically covers about 1/4 of the cinema (depending on size), that's special, I'd go as far as saying this guy's extra "special"
speaking of which, how much are movie ticket prices in Japan?
Regular tickets are 1800 Yen
I thought the advance/special tickets were 1800?
Like the ones the bookmarks came with? In the picture it's definitely a 5 and not an 8.
The ticket reads "1,500 yen"
It's too blurry to read in this photo but it's at the end of a couple of the trailers. So around $17/£8.50
I lol'd at the title of the first pic.
you should change that pic to a screenshot of Kyon facepalming in epic disgust
Wonderful, this piece of shit has 30 tickets.
where does otaku's money come from?
Otakus have jobs which separates them from NEETs/hikikomoris. NEETs can be both otaku and hikikomori. Wiki it if you don't know the difference.
This guy are sick...
Hope to haiti...
Well... how about just rent out the entire room and fap to the giant screen in which moe Nagato is projected on?
With the price these ticket will eventually go for, he could buy such a screen for his own house.
If not that, at least one fit to fill his tiny apartments longest wall.
Them: Endless Eight
Now: Tedious Thirty
30 tickets.
Nobody near you.
Nobody will cover half of screen with fat right before you.
Nobody will loudly eat something right at your ear.
Nobody will fap behind your back.
Crap, I didn't think about that when buyed tickets for Avatar.
That's...actually quite genius.
(9) genius!
And even if they were numbered seats and you could buy whatever number you wanted, you'd only need 9 for that.
You forgot those annoying loudmouth ppl who don't know that their cellphones can be set in Silent Mode and the existence of text messaging..
besides the fact that movie theater tickets don't have seats or rows designated to them and any other ticket holder could sit their ass right in front of you
Well, that depends on which country you live in....some cinemas do allocate seating
But the article says "the chance to watch the movie 30 times, or possibly once whilst occupying a whole row".
So they're not even dated, let alone assigned a specific seat.
his guy have to be lying. If he don't sell at 10x the original price when the stock of ticktets ends, this guy will be oficialy retarded -_-'
http://en.gigazine.net/index.php?/news/comments/20091218_haruhi_shoshitsu_pv/
There was specials with the tickets, which I guess is why he bought so many, to have a complete selection.
This articles doesn't say when he bought them but the tickets look exactly the same.
WTF! I want a fucking special bookmark, damnit!!
That mofo better toss some of his extras on ebay. Or he's a dead man!!
He bought so many tickets so he can make it endless thirty.
A very painful version of E8 indeed.
Yeah. Endless eight took away his sanity...
yeah or he‘s just a greedy fucker that took 29 extra tickets so other people wont be able to watch it
That already has a general affect on the rest of us...
Ah... so those 12000 dvd sales of each E8 volume were actually just 400 people? Not all hope is lost for mankind.
well, least we know that Haruhi movie grossed something...
Wouldn't you get bored of any movie after the 5th time?
Although this could be a good chance for profit by reselling the extra 20 something tickets for double the price given how idiotic otakus can be with money.
A real fanboy would have bought an entire showing so he could watch it with his army of Haruhi series themed body pillows, blow up dolls, figures, and dutch wives. I am disappoint Japan.
Well i'm Just Speechless LOL
Hope he enjoy it to the very bone... \(^0^)/
He's my hero now
"or possibly once whilst occupying a whole row."
LOL FAT JOKE.
He bought his ticket to an Ass kicking by fellow Otaku fans.
If true, maybe he is so GAY that he wants to masturbate while seeing the movie and the little deviant wants some privacy.
to weeaboos in america
Oh, there are. I'm not going to name names, but I have a good example right off the top of my head.
I doubt weeaboos in America would care of owning a ticket for a movie from another country, and if they do, then I shall look down upon them while making witty comments about their mother.
He is an hero.
he's selling them on ebay.
The reasoning behind this sort of behavior has always eluded me. Some people buy multiple copies of the same thing despite them providing no substantial difference over one copy. This applies to video games, books, and a host of other things that people normally buy one of. They don't resell it, either. A former flatmate of mine owned four different Gamecubes. He kept them side-by-side, but only ever used one of them - his precious Panasonic Gamecube. In a decision which was very unbecoming of him, he decided to leave one for me as a parting gift when he moved out, leaving his extra copies of Resident Evil 4, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes with it.
I already had a Wii at the time.
I think you flatmate was using those game cubes for parallel computing, probably to hack servers or simulate a plan for conquering the world. If not then I don't understand him either. If you have enough PS3's you can build your own supercomputer.
Having seen a cluster of PS3s running calculations, it is really nothing to sneeze at. Cell processor was really intended to be use for blade servers. That's where the PS3 truly shines and so much more than just a game console.
The principle of decreasing marginal benefit does not apply to otaku.
Wow, did he do the same with girlfriends (if he had them)?
No sarcasm intended.
One for use, one for keepsake, one for lending, etc.
Thank god someone else knows the correct reason :D
They guy saw that 3 Nanoha tickets give you a movie cel and thought he could get 10 Haruhi cels... ^_^
One for cleaning ur ass after a crap
Hah, i kind of understand how he feels, after reading the novel...
Just too good =)
He's one of those guys that like the endless 8 and wants to repeat it with the movie.
endless 30 just doesn't have the same ring to it
the extra tickets other than the 1st 3 are photoshopped isn't it?
I think you are right about the shop. the others just look fake.
