I bought this puzzle somewhere in the dealer’s hall at AX and I finally finished it today. It was definitely one of the hardest puzzles I’ve ever done, but it came out gorgeous so it was well worth it…

Haruhi Suzumiya: masterpiece, piece of junk or simply overrated?
June 21, 2008 by 9 Comments
This is the “Question of the Week” for the Hey, Answerman column on Anime News Network. I usually don’t have the time or motivation to submit my own answers to things like this. But…since I’m on vacation now and I was kinda bored today, I decided to give this question a try. I’ve been rather Haruhi-obsessed this past year so I probably could’ve written a lot more than this but I didn’t want to overdo it XD Hopefully Zac will post my response, and if not, at least I used it as a blog post so it wasn’t a total waste ^^a You can check ANN next week to see other answers to the question. Anyway, here’s my (kinda long) answer…
New anime sections!
September 2, 2007 by 4 Comments
Well, I’m back with two new anime sections on the main AnimeYume.com site. I’ve literally spent all of the past couple of days working on them but I think they came out pretty good ^^ So check out the new Death Note and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya sections! (BTW, about the Haruhi section, I made an html version of the timeline I posted a while ago, and also updated it with some images). I’m really not sure if I’ll have time for more anime sections anytime soon but maybe.
Anyway, these past few posts here on the blog haven’t been very “blog-ish” (just stuff about the main site and my own personal life) so I really want to get back on track with good blog posts, and also catch up with my Inuyasha chapter reviews and other stuff. But I also need to catch up on my Japanese studies and my backlog of anime to watch…::sigh:: even on vacation there’s not enough time to do all the stuff you gotta do =P But regardless I’ll definitely be back here on the blog soon!
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya novels and timeline complete!
August 4, 2007 by 10 Comments
I finally read through all of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya light novels. I have to say, they’re excellent, and the dedicated translation work of Baka-Tsuki is great too. I also updated “The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Chronological Timeline of Events” that I wrote a while back, complete with short summaries of later events that haven’t happened in the anime. Volume 9 was really exciting, though I was a bit confused about the two alternate scenarios (anyone know what that’s about? ~_^) Anyway, I’m eagerly anticipating Volume 10 as well as the new anime season. Once the new season airs, I’ll record the appropriate episode numbers on my timeline. And once again, if anyone want so add anything or point out any errors in my timeline, please let me know =)
UPDATE: A 2010 revised version of the timeline is now available here
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, novels and timeline
July 27, 2007 by 26 Comments
I watched all the episodes of the ever popular The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya almost a year ago. After going through the series the first time (I watched the fansubs in the original TV broadcast order by the way), I liked it a lot but I don’t think I loved it. Surprisingly, almost a year later, I got a sudden new interest in the series, probably mostly due to my 4 day attendance at Anime Expo this year. TMoHS was everywhere at AX, not just the autograph session and concert, but all over the shops as well. After getting a full dose of Haruhi-ism while I was there, I decided to watch the series a second time. Turns out I loved it more than I did the first time (I should’ve known that all good anime series’ should be watched at least twice to be fully appreciated). I then decided to try and find translations of the light novels. Luckily, thanks to the dedication of Baka-Tsuki, finding them wasn’t nearly as hard as I thought. And now that I’ve read the majority of them, I have an even greater appreciation for the series…

Hare Hare Yukai parody – Pokemon version
June 8, 2007 by 2 Comments
I think the post’s title speaks for itself. Pika Pika Yukai! XD
Pikachu as Haruhi
Minun as Yuki
Plusle as Mikuru
And cameo by Itsuki
This is a good video considering it uses all original drawings and still flows with the song well. Whoever created it must’ve been dedicated to having their own unique Hare Hare Yukai parody video ^^

Haruhi Desk Mat

I don’t have time for a long post tonight, so I just thought I’d share something that all you Haruhi fans might be interested in. I bought this desk mat about a month ago at a little anime convention called Mikomicon. Not sure if it’s anything special or rare, but I like it ^_^ Like all the anime desk mats and pencil boards I buy, it’s way too pretty to be used for anything but to display as a poster in my room =P Anyway, the booth I bought it from had a few other Haruhi pencil boards, etc., but I thought this was the nicest one. It cost $25…was it worth it? I’ll let you decide. Oh, and if anyone can tell me what the roumaji at the bottom says, that would be appreciated(surprisingly, I can make out more of what’s written on the chalkboard and whiteboard ^^,,,)
