I just had an odd thought...
What if this show is aired on [as] before the DVDs come out? That way, [as] could do the broadcast order and the DVDs could be in the chronological. |

See, there, the question is, WOULD it air on Adult Swim? Sure, it'd be great to see Haruhi on tv, but it's hard to say if it would necessarily go over well, or if a simple straight to DVD release is prefered. |

I'd rather have broadcast order on the discs so that each rewatch is as I first enjoyed the series. I could not care less about the English voice actors or how it airs on Adult Swim (I'm one of those "have to watch anime in Japanese" types), but it seems that would be the better place to do it chronologically.
Obviously, there are folks who prefer in English and chronological. How they'll handle this could be very interesting. Has there ever been a poll on what fans prefer, broadcast or chronological? With Bandai/Kadokawa clearly being keen on the fan desires with this release, I think it would have a chance of falling in the right ears. Kep |

Sweet! I only watched one episode and I absolutely liked the premise -don't have the time to download and watch the others, so I'm glad there's going to be a DVD release in the near future ^^
I just hope that Bandai gives this one the same exceptional treatment it gave .hack//SIGN and Eureka Seven in terms of good dubbing and nice bonus materials that comes with the DVD release. |

I agree; I can't see putting the series into chronological order working nearly as well. The chonological episode 14 redefines low-key...amusingly so, but not what you'd call a stirring finale. The final aired episode is the exciting climax. (Likewise, I don't think the first episode (the movie) would work as well if you went in knowing what was going on, although that's more of a judgement call.) If you're confused about the episode order, pay attention to the next-episode previews; Haruhi announces where the episode falls chronologically (that is, what number it would be if you watched them in the order they occurred) and Kyon corrects her with the actual broadcast number. (Which is, all by itself, a reason not to mess with the broadcast order--not only would that be nonsensical if viewed chronologically, but it very much fits their characters for each of them to identify the episodes that way.) |

That's what i was thinking, hell i even loved the little live-action vid they had on the site. But i also checked out that Kari Whalgren too...and she seems like she would be a pretty good choice too. Now i just have to summon all the patience i can muster, to hell with Christmas when's the first set of TMoHS DVD's coming out?

In addition to my last post: Does anyone know what the color-coding on the chart means?

Seasons of the year, apparently. The blue is winter, pink is spring, orange is summer, and brown is fall. |

I would really doubt a AS airing of Haruhi due to the sexual overtones in many of the scenes with Haruhi and Mikuru. The soccer moms would be screaming again just like they did when FLCL aired . . . .

I suspect the series will be released on DVD as the Japanese DVD release was -- mostly chronological order (with the movie as episode 00).
I do find it amusing that the only thing that seems to makes this show so good to fans is the gimmick of showing it out of chronological order. As I read the posts here, if it is released chronologically as in Japan, well the show won't be good. That means people are saying the show actually is sub-par based on story and writing and requires the gimmick to make the sale (IMO). *lol* As for sales, unless this is shown on TV, after the hardcore folks who had the big "O" over the series, I don't see it doing that well. It will make a little money for sure, but it really is a very niche anime (IMO). What's more interesting to me is Kadokawa's continued foray into the R1 market. They had ADV do the dubs and subs for FMP:TSR while FUNimation does everything else (distribution, marketing, putting the ADV subtitles on the DVDs). However, this wasn't known for some time after FUNimation's "we licensed it!" announcement. For this, they have Bandai do the distribution and marketing. Is Bandai doing the dubs and subs too or is there another R1 company doing them and we just haven't heard about it yet (I didn't see that in any of the post, but if I missed it, forgive the oversight)? |
