>>280722718 (OP)Iโm still on a reread marathon of the novels. Itโs nice to go back and recap on stuff Iโd kinda forgotten about. I just wrapped up Wavering, which is a pretty solid volume all around. Rereading the novels also emboldens the feverish intensity of my love for Yuki Nagato. My one and only waifu for life. No 3D woman can match even 0.001% of her perfection.
Oh, and the new book was good too. I read that one when Yen Press released it physically. I recommend checking it out. Intuition was also good as well.
>>280723962That's interesting. Good taste too. I'll be on my own marathon soon enough, will make threads whenever I find something cool I guess.

>>280745463Disappointing that no one ever drew Haruhi Mugen crossover art with any of the KEY characters (because of Eternal Fighter Zero).

its literally the same core plot of the main heroin secretly being the god of the world etc.
>>280722718 (OP)Haruhi is probably the ur-example of something going from phenomenon to 'literally who' in anime that I've ever seen

>>280741734the hype is unreal
>>280748312Furyu just released statues of these 3 for like 20$. Got all 3 and they are honestly amazing. They even have real fishnets.
>>280748552I have the Yuki one. Iโm not a big figure collector, but the quality seems much higher than normal for the price. I always forget Furyu is a figure company and not just a game publisher.
>>280736137For me it's Skittles
>>280749100I think they make figures for their claw machines so it kinda lines up like how Nintendo makes Amiibo to support the switch. I think Sega also makes figures now for the same reason.
>>280748602They make bunny girl outfits in children's sizes in Japan?
>>280749416These two meeting would be loudest event in history.
>>280748377Is she about to punch me?
I worship Godoka. Sorry, Haruhi.
I like how she wolfs down anything put in front of her.
>>280751997would she wolf down a cock
>>280752048Sheโs able to master anything almost instantly. She would canonically be the best in all sexual activities compared to the other SOS girls.
>>280750569It would be loud, they would both leave in a huff saying how much the other is insufferable, then come back the next day to do it again.
With how Tanigawa seems to favor Yuki in his writing, I wonder if he would ever have Kyon choose her in the end? That sounds silly, sure, but there are plenty of endings where it feels like the author switched gears and did something that feels off-script. Common sense may say he would end up with the main heroine, but who knows what will actually happen?
In Love at First Sight, he even admits that he doesnโt want to see Yuki with another guy. Yet his feelings on Haruhi having a boyfriend sounded more wishy washy to me. And his thoughts on Asahina sounded more like she was his daughter, with how heโd have to resist stalking the guy. Iโve always seen his relationship with Asahina as half infatuation, half protective big brother.
What do other novel readers think of this? Is my interpretation off the mark? Or am I making sense?
>>280755936When I first became acquainted with the series I believed and wanted that to be the case, and the part from Love at First Sight where he goes over his relationships with every SoS brigade member was a large reason as to why.
However eventually I came to realize that I much prefer Kyon and Nagato as incredibly close friends, whose love is platonic in nature, and platonic here means the actual definition of platonic love that Plato described, rather than the colloquial version, as Platonic love is the ideal form of love according to Plato, as not only do I believe how that is the best thing for them in particular and how it is what we are shown, but also because I really like it when a guy and a girl are depicted as just close friends rather than by default being romantic.
>>280756396I think that kind of relationship is good for them too. But I still hold out hope for romance. Part of her certainly wants that connection. And Kyon would be best for her as someone that understands her well.
But romance or not, she definitely has a special connection to him thatโs different from any of the other girls. His caring nature towards her, and how he always tries to understand her better is my favorite part of the series.
So him being with Haruhi romantically wonโt feel like she lost or anything. Sheโll always have something from Kyon that Haruhi doesnโt.
>>280755936In Love at first sight, he says that if haruhi got hitched his life would change, whitch I'm sure of, since he'd be the first to know
>>280722718 (OP)Worship HER DIVINE BUTT
>>280755936Well, let's see what the books say:
One the one hand:
He is protective of Yuki (so is Haruhi)
On the other:
He is a total foil to Haruhi in personality and identical in motivation
He refers to Haruhi using the null honorific, unlike anyone else
He rejects her idea of reality in dissaperance in favor of Haruhi
He thinks about Haruhi 24/7
He jumps out of a window to save Haruhi
In Suprise he explicitly says he'd do anything to see her smile forever
>>280757123And this is not even taking into account the signs Haruhi gives, whitch are dime a dozen.
Compare this to Yuki, whose grand total is 0 (dissaperance notwithstanding, Yuki's intent not being fully clear)
>>280757123All fine arguments. But my counterpoint is this fanart I found. As you can clearly see, Kyon is for Yuki.
I never really understood why people liked Yuki so much, I always found Haruhi to be the most interesting and fun character by far

what did she mean by this?
>>280757447I started with the novels, and she always stood out because she barely spoke. Everything she said and did felt important. And her deeper feelings, or how Kyon interprets them, lead to the best moments in the series.
Haruhi is very in-your-face. She definitely has deeper stuff going on that she doesnโt vocalize, but I consider her practically a solved character by the end of volume 1. Volume 1 feels like a standalone story, and it focuses primarily on Haruhi. The rest of them donโt really add much to her aside from having her chill out, and developing her relationship with Kyon in an expected way.
I think the rest of the cast, not just Yuki, are more interesting than her for most of the series because of this. I still love Haruhi as the series goes on. But most of that is just because sheโs really funny. Sheโs always saying something ridiculous, or is described as making weird faces.
>>280752114She's able to master anything, but only after first doing it horribly wrong. I do not wish to experience her first attempt.
>>280758265>Implying you want her to do it with a different guy firstI will accept my wifeโs horrible, clumsy first attempts with pride.
>>280758265have her practice on a dildo and watch (and record it) if you're really that worried

>>280758265>bites your dick in half
>>280758422She can fix it with her data manipulation or whatever.
>>280758479it would be extremely painful
>>280758491Itโs ok if itโs Yuki.
>>280758265In the case of the mouse, she's imitating Kyon when Mikuru almost caught him viewing her file
>>280758045She isn't a solved character however, you can see her and Kyon's relationship develop, aswell as her change in interesting ways.
The contrast between Sigh and Live alive being a prime example. There is also Kyon's extreme trust exhibited in Remote Island when he concludes Haruhi wasn't responsible based on his trust alone, contrary to all previous experiance (and is proven right!). In snow mountain, they hold a productive conversation for once, actually resolving misunderstandings via dialogue, in Love at first sight and especially Suprise she exhibits ever increasing care for brigade members and she conducts actions activly working towards her goal of staying with Kyon by forcing him to study etc.
>>280758602>In the case of the mouse, she's imitating Kyon when Mikuru almost caught him viewing her fileshe was actually trying to misdirect attention away from her heeding Chad Warden's advice
>>280758382>>Implying you want her to do it with a different guy firstOr not at all. I already have a low libido and the prospect of having my dick bit in half(if not worse) would make it hard to relax.
>clumsyShe is an alien with superhuman abilities. If the suction, speed or tightness deviates even just a few percentage points in the range of her ability, you are not going to have a good time.
>Kyon drooling over Asahina when Yuki is right there
>>280758877She may be clumsy when she first tries something, but sheโs also careful. Haruhi would be more likely to be a biter, and make you bleed. Asahina would be terrible at it even with practice, and would just cry.
Even before the recent unpleasantness, Yuki does NOT like summer.
Why would she?
It's when people are loud and happy and cicadas are buzzing.
And you sweat a lot and what is the point of sweating when you are a magic immortal replicant?

>>280763584Sex with Yuki twice a day for the entirety of Endless Eight.
>>280763652Cause it's broadcast order ; )
>>280763662For when the Data Overmind eventually gives her the order to seduce Kyon.
Just made an edit of the sexiest frame of Mikuru's breasts coupled with the sexiest frame of her mouth, probably sucks but all I have is MS Paint.
>>280764859This is what Kyon does with the clubroom computer.
>>280757447My personal feelings for her aside, the reason is because she is able to provide great comedic moments via her autistic behavior such as in these scenes
>>280737960>>280758265 as well as many emotionally charged moments stemming from her struggle/desire to be able to live a normal life, and her frustrations with thr way in which she was born, without social capablities.
So people just find her a very fun and compelling character to watch/read about, since pretty much every single scene with her is written to be either one or the other, and people just like that, particularly those who can relate to her a lot, and are starving for characters such as her in media.
I wonder how much of Asahinaโs โclassified informationโ Kyon could get by just asking Yuki?
>>280765796Ask in front of Mikuru for maximum effect after she autocensors herself
>>280765891Sheโd faint on the spot.

I know that most likely Haruhi also didn't do anything, but if Haruhi was a telemarketer how long would you keep her on the line while trying trick her into saying lewd things and when would you start recording?
Yuki if she stopped messing around
>>280766314idk but she would probably force to buy whatever she is selling
Best short stories?
For me itโs Love at First Sight, Boredom, and Snowy Mountain. Iโd toss in Live Alive, but the anime makes it feel underwhelming to reread without the song. The scenes after the concert are still good.
>>280766938Bamboo leaf rhapsody is also really good if only due to how much it expands on the mythos, and its connection to Disappearance.
Also Im not sure if I would call Snowy Mountain Syndrome a short story, since its much longer than the other short stories, it alone is around half of Rampage, whereas a short story is usually a quarter of a novel long.
In general there are 3 different length stories, full novels like Melancholy and Disappearance, half novels, like Snowy Mountain Syndrome and Editor in Chief, and short stories like Bamboo leaf rhapsody or Remote island syndrome.
Then there is Intrigues which is like 50% longer than other novels, and Surprise which all together is the longest but is split into 2 separate volumes.
>>280767099Iโd say theyโre just longer short stories. They are part of the short story compilation volumes. The one thatโs harder to classify is Theater, since itโs made up of really old material for the first two chapters. But itโs also a full, coherent story arc.

>>280772321That's because they include the full show, only the first season has the jumbled order and when the second season was broadcast the first season was re-aired in chronological order.
The reason they weren't all in order in the first place was because the original light novels were themselves published and written out of order and to spice up the pacing.
Picrel is the 2006 order with the 2009 numbering added.
As an addendum, I still find "broadcast" and "chronological" to be retarded and confusing and don't know who should be slapped for coming up with it. Just say "2006" and "2009".
>>280772321It's a thematic progression instead of a chronological one. At the time Kyoani was in for the ART. I think you should go for the crazy release order because this choice for the first episode was genuine punk genius but i imagine you'll come to understand it as such later on because at first it's only confusing.

im obsessed with haruhi's ass
>>280782011Take your meds
I wonder how power scalers would deal with her? Sheโs kinda busted.
>>280793364Who Yuki or Haruhi? Because Haruhi is easily multiversal at a minimum, due to her affecting multiple timelines simultaneously, and if you want to get into dimensional scaling nonsense (you dont), the Data Overmind is described as being beyond time, which would make it 4d, and since Haruhi is clearly meant to be above it Haruhi scales to 4d and above, of course none of this makes any sense since the very concept of dimensional scaling is based on pseduoscience and a misunderstanding of what dimensions are.
As for Yuki, she is at least city level in terms of her hax due to claiming how she could manipulate the weather to make it rain, however I think she probably scales to at least planet level due to scaling to the data lifeform in Wandering shadow, which she says that even if it infected every dog on Earth wouldnt be enough to restore its primary functions, and this data lifeform is described by her as the equivalent of a virus if the Data Overmind is a human, and considering how she previously in Mysterique Sign stomped a similar kind of data lifeform, it is a safe bet to say how Yuki scales above these data lifeforms even as just an interface of the Data Overmind and has planet level hax in the form of her data manipulation.
https://files.catbox.moe/wasodc.webm
>>280793981I think Yuki with control over Haruhiโs powers makes her unstoppable. Like Goku wouldnโt stand a chance. In Theater she talks about how she can control it and do anything she wants. But Haruhi of course doesnโt realize what she has, and honestly even if she did I could see her having issues using it with the conscious precision that Yuki could. Plus sheโs a normal girl at her core, where Yuki can take mortal damage and just undo it.
Her ridiculous, unknown power level is one of the funnier parts of the series because it hardly ever matters when sheโs mainly just gonna use it to win a baseball game or something.
>>280787696Shamisen is a good boy.

That short music video made me want some ONAs done in 3D with Noizi Itoโs art style. It would be unsuitable for season 3 for multiple reasons, but itโs a good look for something smaller. Itโs nice to see the characters animated in the original novel style. I like the anime, but there are some odd quirks like Haruhiโs eyes being a little far apart.
>>280765622>particularly those who can relate to her a lot, and are starving for characters such as her in media.I know this will sound weird, but it is quite incredible how much I feel I can relate to her, and I have seen other anons express a similar sentiment. Not just the general personality, but also stuff like word choices, where she looks and actions take feel so oddly similar that it almost seems like a statistical anomaly. I have only read a few books with characthers that get close to relatability, but not a single one is as close as her. It is hard to properly express how close to me it feels.
Maybe I have just developed esper powers and a hard hit to the right part of my head would fix me idk.
>>280797350While I wouldnโt say Iโm like her, she does embody a certain way of thinking and acting that I can relate to. Yuki is one of those characters that feels like a person. One of my favorite aspects of reading the novels blind years ago was progressively becoming more obsessed with her. She became the main character for me.
>>280797350IMO the reason as to why you, I and others are able to relate to her so much comes for 2 main reasons.
1. She is an extremely accurate depiction of an autistic girl with alexithymia, the manner in which she generally acts and approaches things as such come across as not only highly relatable to us, but also cathartic due to her being a girl.
2. Her areas of interest being reading sci-fi books, computer science and video games, as well as just being curious about any random phenomenon she comes across makes me at least relate to her to an even more absurd degree
And lastly for me personally, her struggle with wanting to live a normal life where she is able to freely indulge in the things she came to love, is another point of extreme relatability that makes me view her as almost identical to myself in a way that simply baffles me every time I think about it.
>>280798709I got your season 3 right here.
