Haruhi movie coming soon

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya season 2 was one of the most anticipated series because most fans were expecting The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya to be shown as it has been three years since the original season one anime aired in 2006.

However, fans were disappointed when the series had instead shown 'Endless Eight' which is made into eight episodes with only few differences in each episode. This equals to two whole months of the same episode leaving no time for Disappearance.

Fans rejoice as the movie has been confirmed to air in spring 2010.
The news is below.

Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya Film Announced for 2010

The final episode of the "renewed" airing of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya anime series ended on Friday with a teaser of The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya (Suzumiya Haruhi no Shōshitsu) film. The film will open in Japanese theaters in the spring of 2010. More details will be provided on the anime franchise's official homepage at a later date.

The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya is the title of the fourth volume in Nagaru Tanigawa and Noizi Ito's original Haruhi Suzumiya light novel series about an eccentric, assertive girl who creates her own school club for her strange antics. The main story in this volume has yet to be animated. The first indications of animation plans for this light novel volume came in December 18, 2007, when the anime's official website "disappeared" with a cryptic announcement of a new Haruhi Suzumiya project; December 18 is a reference to the pivotal date in the fourth volume. That 2007 announcement was also the first public indication that Yutaka Yamamoto (director of first and 12th Haruhi Suzumiya episodes, Lucky Star, Kannagi) was not going to direct the production of new Haruhi Suzumiya animation.

Bandai Entertainment released the initial run of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya anime series in North America. Little, Brown Young Readers is publishing the second light novel volume this week, and Yen Press will ship the fourth volume in Gaku Tsugano's manga adaptation later this month.

We are not alone

Just a short blog post on District 9, An upcoming new movie by Peter Jackson (did I hear Gandalf?)

Here is a synopsis:

"Thirty years ago, aliens made first contact with Earth. Humans waited for the hostile attack, or the giant advances in technology. Neither came. Instead, the aliens were refugees, the last survivors of their home world. The creatures were set up in a makeshift home in South Africa’s District 9 as the world’s nations argued over what to do with them.

Now, patience over the alien situation has run out. Control over the aliens has been contracted out to Multi-National United (MNU), a private company uninterested in the aliens’ welfare – they will receive tremendous profits if they can make the aliens’ awesome weaponry work. So far, they have failed; activation of the weaponry requires alien DNA.



The tension between the aliens and the humans comes to a head when an MNU field operative, Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto Copley), contracts a mysterious virus that begins changing his DNA. Wikus quickly becomes the most hunted man in the world, as well as the most valuable – he is the key to unlocking the secrets of alien technology. Ostracized and friendless, there is only one place left for him to hide: District 9."

Well, truth to be told. Before I watched the trailer, I was thinking: "Oh yeah, another movie which has aliens in it."
Hmm, you can't blame me. I had big hopes for transformers 2 which was nice but short on story.
Anyways, the trailer really made it interesting so be sure to watch it. It's up there if you happen to miss it which is impossible unless you thought that was a picture.


The reason because I posted this because of Nuffnang, the blogger-friendly advertiser and here is the slogan I put in the site:
"I want to be in District 9 because I want to see how far humanity can achieve the climax of civilisation."

I hope that you guys are as thrilled as me cause I'm going to watch it.(cross fingers and pray for free tickets)
