Newtype (not the cancelled USA version) Magazine is expected to have news about the continuing adventures of Haruhi Suzumiya, according to Alafista.com:
“…new season of Haruhi Suzumiya will be revealed in February (2009) issue of Newtype…”
For me, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is a wonderfully funny series. It manages to be quirky, fun, insane, infectous yet somehow mainstream. When I first heard about Haruhi, the dance and all that – I thought it was going to be just another overrated show. But I was wrong. I’ve never gotten around to writing a review, but perhaps this news will get me thinking about it again.
For some fun, here’s a short version that I filmed and edited of THE DANCE performed by an Alucard cosplayer at Anime Expo:
I love anime. Specifically, series involving any of the following things: weird fantasy elements, super-powers, robots, aliens, wicked humor, crazy villains, horror, ninjas and samurai. I guess that means I like a lot of anime. I am pretty particular about the quality of animation and voice acting. If the character designs and animation quality aren't of über-quality, I quickly loose interest.The first anime-related series I ever watched was Battle of the Planets - otherwise known as Gatachman. The first true theatrical anime feature film I saw was Akira. My first exposure to manga was later in life when I read Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy.There are so many incredible elements of Japanese culture. Some of the most exciting to me are the style of design and storytelling. I'm a web designer & illustrator, and I find myself looking to Japanese design for inspiration all the time.Anime blogging has taught me even more about Japanese culture and anime than I ever expected, and I continue to learn more every week. In fact, I'd love to travel to Japan. Rachel and I hope to visit sometime within the next few years.
I never really watched comedy anime before Haruhi hit the scene, but the show was so clever and well-written that it hooked me. I can’t wait for the second season.
O_O New season Feb! I’m excited for it!
Haha that dance I tried doing that last summer
at Otakon but I fail to remember all the movementsXD
Yeah, that dance is difficult for me to remember too! I’d have to carry a cheat sheet with me, lol. ^_^
