Another version of Lost My Music from Mukuchi-chan. I'm still not convinced she's a she, but she really rocks out the song especially the solo. Umm, she's got fingers that fly.

Is this a trap? Or can you fall in love with this guitar player? I'm going have to go with female according to her blog. Of course, this doesn't stop her from being a he.

I am so confused.

But whatever. She rocks. He rocks. I mean that's awesome.

Dear Kami-sama, can we get a third season of Haruhi?

This past weekend was the big anime convention in Baltimore, Otakon. One of their guests was the infamous Aya Hirano. She's the voice actress for Haruhi Suzumiya. While there is no word about a third season of Haruhi, we still got the light novels. The latest light novel, The Intrigues of Haruhi Suzumiya.

Now the light novels in this series have followed a pattern after the first installment. There are two books of short stories followed by one book with a feature length story. The last feature length book, The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, was the best so far. It featured Yuki in moe mode. The Intrigues comes a close second, and it featured Mikuru Asahina the moe maid of the SOS Brigade. While she could never beat out Yuki, Mikuru is so moe that you just got to love her like Kyon does.

The Intrigues follows Kyon as he finally goes back to save himself as he had done in Disappearance. Then he comes back to meet a version of Mikuru from eight days in the future sent back to the past by his future self. The bulk of the book involves adventures with eight day future Mikuru. Why did Kyon send her back from the future? And how does any of this have to do with the older, future, curvier Mikuru? Read the book as it was a great read.

This book added depth to the Haruhi universe. It expands the cast with the addition of an opposing faction against each of the SOS Brigade members. There's a faction of time travelers who oppose Mikuru's group. There's a faction of ESPers that oppose Itsuki's Agency. There's another sentient alien being -- Yuki watch out! It plays as a set up for the latter novels and makes the setting greater.

I sped through this book on my trip to Germany. I finished it up early in the week and I regret not having reread it again immediately. I even read it after having a few litres of beer!

After reading this installment of Haruhi, I wish to see another season of the anime. It would be awesome to get the rest of the short stories filled out, then we can get another Haruhi movie from this book. Please, please, please Kyo-ani, more Haruhi anime.

I can't find this DVD at Best Buy. It was released this week and even its BlueRay isn't in Best Buy. Disintermediation sucks. I guess we'll find it on Amazon. Funny thing is I've already have the torrent.

She's wearing oven mitts. The scene before she was bringing hotpot, nabe, to her neighbor to share. She left the pot there with the leftovers and is now on her way home. She's trying to get our attention.

This is one of the moe-est scenes from The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya. I completely find it awesome for the oven mitts. Who knew?

Oh, and Asakura Ryouko, she's dangerous.

It took 30+ hours to convert the mkv to an m4v in Quicktime, but it's now on iPhone and I am watching it while I do work. Moe human Nagato! Moe adult Asahina! Moe Kouyouen Academy Haruhi!

It's awesome!

Yeah. She just rocks it.

This has nothing to do with Christmas, but everything to do with Christmas. It is the opening theme to the Haruhi movie, The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya. It takes place in December right around Christmas. The SOS Brigade would've had a nabe Christmas party unfortunately developments happened that side tracked the holidays. You just got to watch it. Of course, I've been telling you this for years now, but no one listens to me, because I have a blog. First, watch the two seasons of Haruhi and then watch the movie. I swear to kami-sama that you'll enjoy! I think.

A week before the Hawaiian Vacation, I had bought the latest American Haruhi light novel, The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya. I figured that it was gonna be a good beach read. When we got to the 808 state, the first few days I didn't even pick it up. Then at Ko Olina, bored silly with the fake Hawaii, I started to read it. In the trade winds it took a while to get into the story. Honestly, the first couple of Nagaru Tanigawa's light novels were not that great. The first one, The Melancholy..., is fine but The Sigh... kind of stunk and The Boredom... was 2/4 a good read. I wasn't looking forward to read this episode. I'm really waiting for the movie.

Yet, in the trade winds, on the beach, I couldn't put the book down. I had finally found out why this series rocked.

It is all about the Nagato! Yuki plays a big important role in this book. And more Yuki the better.

It starts off the week before Christmas, and the SOS Brigade is gonna throw a nabe stew Christmas party. Its what Haruhi wants. The gang just goes along. Then, the world becomes a different place. Kyon meets the deadly Asakura again. Haruhi is no longer a student at North High. There is no SOS Brigade. And Yuki is human. Yuki Nagato is the only member of the Literature club, 100% human and shy, cute as all get out. She even asks Kyon to join. Who could not? But all is wrong and Kyon must find his way back to his reality.

So I blazed through this book in another day. Spent a sunny afternoon with it and hunkered down in an evening reading. Did this all in paradise. But I didn't mind as this is the best book of the series so far.

Read it. You'll love Nagato as well.

Now, I'm just waiting for the movie, and to see the human Nagato on screen.
