They have these all over the places. Like in NYC alone, they have these hotspots tours for: Sex and the City, TMZ, Sopranos, Gossip Girl, Mad Men, and other TV and movies, etc. |

+1 I would be completely satisfied and content with a Sentai re-release (would be nice if NISA picked them up though).
It's just one of those things associated with being a big fan of a show/movie. If you are a big fan, chances are that you are very interested in seeing the inspiration and origins of the work in question. Additionally, visiting these "sacred sites" rekindles the experience of the fan watching and enjoying the show as it was coming out (in other words, it's nostalgia-inducing, which people love). |

I don't even know what that is, so no, I wouldn't. 
But seriously, being a fan of something is fine, but getting to the point where you're going out of your way to see places just because they happened to appear in a TV show just feels like going a bit too far to me personally. I mean, I'm a big fan of my fair share of fictional worlds, and I like learning about the process involved in coming up with them, but I guess I don't see the need to go and visit there myself when a picture usually suffices. |

They are animating bigger and better things now. If they were not..... Haruhi would still be relevant.
I am still a Haruist, btw. |

Supposedly, the animators were not happy about it themselves, though. Imagine having to animate 8 entire episodes of the same plot points. Or storyboard them so they don't clash and are different, yet hopefully exciting. They DO actually have a progressive purpose, but it's so subtle, it's still mostly just a compilation of random things we've seen before in each episode, with a little bit of addition in each... I also don't have as much of a problem with them now, considering they practically forced sympathy on us toward Nagato, and followed up that point with one of the best animated films out there (being a huge Madoka fan, I could claim the film was even better than Rebellion, which is inevitably another top-rank film in my eyes). Without Endless Eight's torturous repetition, I don't think I would've enjoyed the animated adaption of my favorite Haruhi novel as much as I did. Of course, if I told myself this back in 2009, when I was ripping half of my hair out just trying to understand what motivated them to even attempt such a thing, I probably wouldn't have believed it.

Infinite 8 was a groundhogs day effect that will never happen again. It was an event to behold. It was fantastic with the 8 parter with the end that felt refreshing once it finally arrived.
People were pissed, because they're favorite parts from the light novel did not get animated. Instead being wasted on Infinite 8. Thats not my opinion though. It wasn't wasted, I loved all of it. Sadly, KyoAni has moved on. |

I think my opinion on "Endless Eight" in anime form is that I don't love it but I appreciate the sheer audacity of it all.
I'd rather KyoAni would make more Haruhi Suzumiya anime (besides the upcoming Disappearance of Yuki Nagato, based on the manga spin-off, which I do enjoy), but, if The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya is the last of the main storyline that will ever get animated, it ended on a really high note. |

Never understood why certain people within fandoms feel that their way of participating is the only way or right way of participating...... People express themselves within fandoms in different ways. There is no right or wrong way to be a fan of something. |

I didn't see anything on KyoAni's site, but searching around i seen.
"a special message that showed up if you visited haruhi.tv on an Android device" Very cool if so. |

Then let me educate you. Marine Corps Air Station Miramar is a military airfield located near San Diego. Prior to 1999, it was Naval Air Station Miramar, which just so happens to be one of the main settings of... Top Gun. Many scenes from the movie were actually filmed on location in and around the base. I doubt the base itself is open to the public, but there's an aviation museum on the grounds that is, and there's also an air show every October (which got cancelled last year due to the government shutdown, but I hope it'll be back this year). |

It adds to the interest and gives you a bit of insight into the inspiration for the stories. Sometimes I only found out about connections between places I visited in Japan and their use in anime after the fact, but still appreciated it. |

It would definitely be going too far for me because I would need to go (deeper) into debt just to get to Japan. Even if I had the money I would feel like I was going too far if I spent it on an anime pilgrimage. But if somebody has other reasons for going to Japan, or is actually already in Japan, then I do not think that it is going too far to take a side trip to see some places that are featured in your favorite shows.
Pictures are often enough for many people. A lot of the people who read travel books never actually travel. Pictures are usually enough for me, but sometimes it would be nice to have more. If it was not going too far I really would like to see some of those anime shrines. For the Haruhi clock I think that the attraction would not really be just seeing the clock. I would want to stand where the clock is and look around at other things, and walk around to the train station, and the library, and the path where Kyon and Mikuru sat on the bench and Haruhi made the cherry trees bloom. Being there can give you a lot of things that you just cannot get from pictures. Last edited by Touma on Tue May 20, 2014 7:19 pm; edited 2 times in total |

Now, that explains why the place looked weird, I went to Japan early this year and visited nearly all of the locations from the anime, seeing as I was lodging nearby.

Agreed, there is so much more to experience than what someone else's photos will give you. I do blame the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya series and seeing videoes of concert footage including "Yuki muon madobe nite (live) - Minori Chihara" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KS9ELNE3sUI for making me want to visit Japan, but one can combine specific events (mainly music of anime concerts in my case) and attempting to see as much else of Japan as possible, which can add pilgrimage sites whether intended or not. |
