Frenzied otaku have collectively spent many thousands of dollars on limited distribution film cuttings of the Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi, with the ambiguous Nagato Yuki scene pictured finally changing hands for ¥356,000 in an online auction.
Even less desirable Nagato scenes from the film could be seen selling for ¥100,000+.
Haruhi getting changed fetched a mere ¥45,500. Mundane scenes of chairs or Kyon fetched a few thousand yen at best.
Disturbingly enough, one otaku bidder was spotted making over ¥600,000 in bids on Haruhi film cuttings alone.
Similar scenes from the new Nanoha movie are also trading for hefty sums, with a top price of ¥532,000 reported.
Kadokawa might have done better to skip the troublesome business of showing the movie at theatres and instead just sell the film directly to fans, one cell at a time…

There comes a time in every otaku's life when they have to asks themselves, "is it really worth it?"
Gotta ask: SUBS WHERE?
gj ;)
i want to bite that collarbone...
it look delicious
Haruhi getting changed?? fuck the rest give me that nom nom nom.
I know I wish I had a chance to bid on that one of Fate's smile from the Nanoha movie.
I'd have bought it, if I had the money around at the time.
Who do these people thing they are, spending their own money on things I don't want!? How dare they!
Back when Anime was done on Cells instead of by computer the Cells really were worth something. CaN'T believe someone is paying for film clippings at least not over 10 bucks equivalency max.
I prefer to pay for the whole movie, HERE AND NOW.
wow thats all i can say...
Words escape me. J-Otaku=Retard.
This is ingenious! We won't need a DVD release anymore, the otaku can just compile their film cuttings and convert it to digital.
do you around 250000000 bucks to get the frames?
guessing 24fps * 3600 secs * 3000$ that is only 1 hour too...
LMAO.
These people are such a bunch of tools...My God.
>sell the film directly to fans, one cell at a time…
Don't give them ideas.
Would you buy a star wars film strip if its available? that the answer to another otaku question
Geeks with too much money. Can't wait for it to come out on Blu-Ray?
$3500 can pay for at least 5 3-somes with 2 nice chiks.
fuck you
I wonder if anyone would spend enough to collect the entire movie.
Otaku's be rich as fuck man. For people who supposedly don't leave their houses, they have a lot of gwap.
I'd buy it.
That bich is dumb as f**k!!!
Fate film strip is sold for more but only gets a small mention at the end of the article -_-
So that's from where they get all their money...
retarded otakus are retarded.
lols money well spent for some money well wasted for some ...
i guess they would make more money selling the movie in a "CG" pack at the end of every show
What's going on in that first scene then? Is it something untoward? She doesn't look too happy.
it certanaly looks like he might be sexin teh nagato, but I dunnuo~
Warning: spoilers.
Kyon, who is frustrated at every thing being out of place (Haruhi and Koizumi have disappeared, Mikuru doesn't recognize him to the point of slapping him, Tsuruya threatens him, and practically half the class has been sick for quite a while even though he clearly remembers everyone being present the day before), snaps when Yuki tells him that she doesn't know him. So, he grabs her in desperation (Since Nagato is the goddess that saves everyone's ass at the end of the day after all).
But don't worry, Kyon isn't entirely a bastard. After noticing that Yuki is extremely bothered by his actions, he apologizes and lets go, feeling very ashamed of himself.
Normally, I would advise you to read the light novels, but since Baka-Tsuki dropped the project, I will say no more.
"Dropped" read as "were forced to publicly close but even eh average dim-shit can still find the files and the private forums are obviously still going".
I don't think I'll ever achieve that level of otakuness.
Those that have achieved that level can no longer return, they are lost to the endless void of otaku franchise products.
That's a good thing.
Are otakus retarted, or are otakus retarded?
I don't care.
It's YUKI NAGATO!!!
Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
How did Haruhi changing (with long hair nonetheless) sell for less than mundane film strips of Yuki? What an insult!
"one cell at a time" lol
they probably only didn't think of that else they would be able to do that :)
if they can make Endless Eight and otakus can buy Endless Eight DVDs ... just think of that for a moment
Dumbass fuckturds.
yes those non-speaking donkey, sex-shits.
Because rabid fandom is worth spending all your money on.
Just use Google image search.... PROBLEM SOLVE!
Too much dedication.
The word "otaku" is synonymous with dedication. It wouldn't be right if this didn't happen.
(Kinda puts things in perspective, huh?)
NO SUCH THING WHEN IT COMES TO GODDESSES!!!
..jesus christ...
Was that a swear word?
Nagato, was/is/will be part of the Goddesses
But right now, Tsubasa's cat doing the tongue twister...Im still on could nine...
yes there is, and the all caps prove it.
Oh my god. Shut up.
must... stop... laughing... [fell of the chair]
>Oh my Goddesses...
kyon-kun denwa
NO THERE ISN'T!!!
Moekuru = angel :3
Haruhi = bitch
nagato = Goddess
Okay, NOW the world got uber retarded!
Too much money D:
No joke. Unless my understanding of how Yen->Dollars works is off, even the "cheap" Haruhi cells were sold for $450. That's half a weeks pay for me. No way that's worth it.
Aye. And this is Japan economy.
Never underestimate the power of religion.
DAT COLLARBONE! :D
Right, you're from class 5-2 right? (^.^;)
you know your references sir
So, ppl pay large amount of money for some pieces of scenes...
seriously,
what the hell is this?
i dont even
A fool and his money are soon...
..elected.
erected
Quick! Tell Osaka to make her choice!
This happens when people don't know how to use money...
...to buy useful things
or have a misconception of the word useful.
That level of otaku power is way too high for me to handle :P
The thing is, Film Cels are highly collectible and are actual pieces of the Animation and is unlike any other regular merchandise.
Also, how were the Haruhi ones given out? Was it in similar fashion to the Nanoha ones?
Whatever the case, I'll now have to prowl YA!J again for days... sigh.
i smell millions for such a collectable
Exactly. Not to mention than since the advent of digital animation, actual painted cels do not exist anymore. Those film cuts are the only production media available nowadays. Until all cinemas go digital ...
*hugs his cel binder of Aa Megami-sama OVA and Mospeada cels*
wtf??!! thats completely retarded, seriously
Oh, I forgot to mention that you can go to a professional photographer to have an enlargement print of your film cut. I did that with my Tenchi Muyou 1st movie one and have a nice close-up of Achika (the LD-BOX had a film cut as bonus).
This is crazy...
Are people that crazy to spend money on a couple of cels!?!? I rather spend it on a DVD than a couple of cels? or some FOOD!!!!! It's so hard to get food these days...
I can't criticize them. I own film cuttings of Tenchi Muyou 1st movie and Mononoke Hime.
It's good to have a friend that works at a cinema theater :D
If they do that now, they'll be fired. I guarantee it. I'm a supervisor at one of the cinemas and if some friend asked me for a film cutting they would fire me and if I find anyone on my site doing that !@#$, I will make their life miserable! Plus it's againtst company policy to do that and it would cost our cinema fines and load of money too.
...probably therefore they cost so much...
Well, it is a remote location and the movie reels are far from new when they get there.
That means the film strip will break ocasionaly and thus the projectionist has to cut a bit of both ends and then patch them.
There is no one to supervize him. The boss are too stingy to pay someone else when he already runs the whole place by himself.
I now see where the otaku get their money from...
Other otaku!
And damn! I gotta look for haruhi changing.
Cheers,
Niker
Kadokawa should have spliced master film into 100 pieces (and burn any other copies they might have), bury them all over the world, and draw a map of the bury sites. The goal for otaku from all over the world would be to find all pieces and glue them into the whole film again.
Adventure, Love, Hate, Friendship, Betrayal.... It would be an Epic quest.
or split the film into 100 DVDs and sell them one by one :)
or make 8 DVD cover versions but with the same content - otakus would still buy them all
