Hi Onizuka-gto.

I've been trying to raise a suggestion regarding the English translation of Volume 4 but since the "system" never recognised any change log if all I simply edited was the comment in the summary box at the bottom, my suggestion never went through.

Anyhow, the title of volume 4 currently stands as the The Vanishing of Suzumiya Haruhi and the first thing that has always come to my mind in the past is that it just doesn't read well. To check out the translation of the Japanese word, I looked up 消失 (which is pronounced something along the lines of "shiyoushitsu" I think) and what it accurately translates to is 'disappearance". This translation of the kanji is ideal as not only it is accurate (disappear is synonymous with vanish) and the substitution of "vanishing" with "disappearance" is grammatically correct.

Hence I would suggest the title of Volume 4 be changed to: The Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi.

Regards,

Hi again.

I've read your message. Oh and thanks for the advice. So yes, I shall proceed to raise this point in the format/style guideline tomorrow.

Cheers.

New Images

Yeah, these images are definitely from the novels. Personally, I'd like to see someone come up with a better scan of volume 8.

New editor?

I just sent you a reply in a PM on the forums. Sorry about the surpise! Anyway, time for me to watch Ep 9 (and actually understand the dialogue)!

Regarding recent IP

The original Japanese word is "バッタ(batta)", so "grasshopper" or "locust" is correct. Because "locust" is confused with "cicada" in USA, I think "grasshopper" is appropriate.

So was his comment. I also think the erasure was a mistake?
