Re: BAD NEWS!!!
so does that mean we'd have to end the english SHnY project? but let the alternative language projects continue?

Isn't BT going to be shut down, then? That's what I remember hearing. Or was that back when the only thing here was the Haruhi novels?ainsoph9 wrote:We have all been awaiting/dreading for this time to come, but it is finally here:

And of course they're going to murder the translation. It's a kids book company. It'll be censored AND butchered.

Re: BAD NEWS!!!
Gah!
I say we mask our effors and convert the character names to something else so they don't catch us. I vote 'Haruhi' now be named 'Konota', 'Kyon' can be 'Sunohara'. lol

Re: BAD NEWS!!!
I hope the next news isn't "Volume 10 surprise release!" That would make me quite unhappy (and also somewhat mad).
Sigh, what now?

I'd like to direct all your attention to the post by the co-publishing director of Yen Press here.
...I think it's in good hands.

And if you read this post here, I do believe that volume 10 would be still fair game to translate (though that could change at any time).

Re: BAD NEWS!!!
Two things about this:
1. If they are marketing to children, how on earth do they plan on getting the sexual harassment stuff past the parents?
2. Why the heck did Tokyopop not pick up this series?!

Re: BAD NEWS!!!
The synopsis is shit. I could write better crap than that.
If anything, these novels are meant to be read with intelligence, not with the mindset "Hannah Montana meets Heroes."
They probably didn't even poking read the novels and just watched the last episodes of the anime.
*And also your right, the news implies that only the first 9 novels will be licensed.

Re: BAD NEWS!!!
No point in speculating. We'll hear the final word from the big boss whenever he gets around to hearing the news.

In the meantime, save your assorted text files, unless you want to pay for the novels you've already read, or simply want a physical copy.

Re: BAD NEWS!!!
So while browsing the wiki site for haruhi, I noticed a flaw: For some reason there seems to be no volume 6 link (that is, no link that takes you to where to click. If you scroll down manually, vol 6 is of course still there). I'm just not sure where I'm supposed to point out something like this.Rectifier wrote:In the meantime, save your assorted text files, unless you want to pay for the novels you've already read, or simply want a physical copy.
Kaisos's post seems reassuring...until you read that other post the guy has. What a horrible synopsis, as someone above me has said.

If you read the post I linked to, he points out the problems with that synopsis himself and why it was used.cicero225 wrote:So while browsing the wiki site for haruhi, I noticed a flaw: For some reason there seems to be no volume 6 link (that is, no link that takes you to where to click.
