Seiyuu Aya Hirano, the voice behind Suzumiya Haruhi, has made some comments of the Endless Eight arc in one of her radio appearances.

She apologised for the Endless Eight episodes and also thanked the viewers for putting up with it.
The comments were made on one of her radio appearances:
For us seiyuu the pressure was intense.
When we first met to receive the plans for it and learn which books we would be doing, like we did for the first season, we heard we would be doing Bamboo Rhapsody and thought it was …

I finally caught up to the latest episode of Haruhi S2 recently. I didn’t sleep through all eight episodes – I read from my twitter list that most of the people actually skipped a couple of episodes. Well not me -_-.
The last episode of the Endless Eight arc stood out a lot. Why? Mikuru’s crying face. I have never seen her cry that much in the previous 15,000 loops that happened, and this is probably one scene I will remember forever.

One crying face I can’t forget
Yuko Goto, did an excellent …

A few days ago Newtype announced that they had a *HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT* about Haruhi in their next issue.  Its not only one HUGE announcement… but Four.
1. The seiyuu for Haruhi, Nagato and Mikuru are recording some exclusive interview for distribution only to Newtype’s loyal rubes!
2. Endless Eight will be shown again on Newtype’s site for a whole day at the end of August! Relive the joy!
3. Fans will finally get to test their knowledge of Endless Eight in the “Endless Eight Cult Quiz”! How many questions will you be able …

If we want to be technical this is an announcement of an announcement. Newtype is saying that their next volume will include a *HUGE* haruhi announcement. No hints are given though, leaving it open to fan speculation for the time being.
I can only imagine one of three things
1. A third season
2. A Movie of Endless 8
3. A second season of Youtube “Haruhi Chan”
I will give Kyo-ani a big pat on the back if they pick option number 2… For being such an epic troll =3

Remember when I talked about the never ending Endless Eight arc of Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu in my recent Saki post? We’re finally going to get off this crazy rollercoaster which most viewers probably slept through the last 6 episodes of. It’s ENDING!!!

As of yesterday, over 1 million CDs related to Haruhi have been sold!
Remember back in 2006, Aya Hirano’s CD single “Bouken de-show de-show”? Here’s the cover scan XD.

Yesterday was also the release of Aya Hirano’s newest single titled “Super Driver“. With that, more than 1 million CDs related to the franchise have been sold! ^_^; There are a total of 25 different CD releases to date.

Even character song CDs have sold 100,00 copies.
Wow ._. The power of Haruhi fans are scary. I can’t imagine whether they bought extra copies of …
