Haruhi! Haruhi! More Haruhi!

Eh, well, I finished reading another chapter in the translation of the Haruhi novels on baka-tsuki.net, and since there's not much else to do but study *cough*, I thought I'd write some opinions on it and other things, mainly concerning with Haruhi... Oh, yes, there will be spoilers sort of, so you've been warned. Again. I know I'd like to be warned if there were spoilers! :p

Volume 8, the first half with the writing-a-journal story. Kimidiri Emiri REAPPEARS!!! I am elated and now have confidence that she will be my new favorite character. I actually wanted her to be my favorite character earlier but she only appears in one volume for like, one paragraph and I wasn't sure if she'll ever come back again :(. Even though they made a character album for her, despite her only saying like, 3 lines in the entire episode... BUT YES she is pretty awesome :3 I had hoped that the novel would explain more about her purpose for coming, whether she had any cool role or awesome powers to show off as well.
Some things Koizumi said might give some hints onto what she does, and they sort of lead to a philosophy which I think is how the Data Sentient Entity works by. Koizumi assumes that Emiri is a "chaperone", to keep Nagato in check so to speak, in contrast to Asakura where Nagato had to stop her from going beserk and killing Kyon. Whether Freudian ideals just happen to be a natural thought occurance in my brain or whatnot, I just thought that this would be an almost-ideal model for the Id, Ego, and Superego "persona" of a person. If the Data-Sentient Entity is considered the mastermind or "brain", then Asakura, Nagato, and Emiri are the Id, Ego, and Superego of the data, respectively. So, Nagato would be the one that is aware of her senses and knowing what is around her (hmmm... seems slightly ironic considering how she just sits there reading all day but she IS always constantly aware of her surroundings), Asakura represents the desire to see results and wants action, hence her rash and unreasonable action, and if this were to follow suit, the Emiri would be the conscience, thinking and knowing what is going to happen and making sure things do not go out of hand for the Data Sentient Entity. This is even more important since Nagato had, in volume 4, changed the world and now (because she feels she has to make up for it) restricted her view into the future. Additionally, as if to further prove the Freudian concept within the Data-Sentient Entity, Asakura Ryouko appears in Volume 4 as a major figure, and essentially "stays" there until the world is changed back to its normal function. In a sense, this may be Nagato (possibly the data-sentient Entity?)'s desire to make a world where she can fall in love with Kyon and at that time, Asakura was representative of that desire. Hence from this conclusion, Emiri would be the one that, as Koizumi says, makes sure Nagato stays in check and does not do something like that again, reminding her of her purpose and being on the planet.
Consequently, Nagato's story that she wrote for the journal... I can't help but think it must have some really deep and serious meaning to it. Some interpretations I can figure out: I believe that the girl she meets that is "like her" is Emiri, and the conversation involves her travelling to Earth and gaining awareness of what being human is like. I think that the snow scene is reminiscent of when she probably first came to Earth (most likely, therefore, in the wintertime, while it is snowing). In her third paper, the two characters at first I absolutely believed was Kyon and Haruhi, since I'm pretty sure her "home"- the coffin - is the Data-Sentient Entity. The major reason Nagato is still here, after all, is because she must observe and "study" Haruhi and Kyon. But then what is the recital? I'm not too entirely sure, but it may be the point where Nagato discovers something new about Haruhi, and what the Data Sentient Entity always wanted to look for in Haruhi. I predict this is when Haruhi and Kyon finally "get together" and something remarkably astonishing happens. Likewise for that reason, it is also not unreasonable to think that the two blocking the coffin are Koizumi and Mikuru and they are also waiting for this "recital" to happen, so everything can go through smoothly. Certainly the personalities match up with those two better than Kyon and Haruhi.
Ultimately it seems that everyone in the SOS Brigade really want Haruhi and Kyon to get together, and essentially see what happens. The predicted result would be the world turns into some utopia, but then if that happens there would be no more Haruhi stories. :( That would be sad. Well, oh well, regardless, I kind of like how they've been focusing a little more on Mikuru now. And to throw out a random prediction, I think the genius kid that Haruhi tutors and Kyon's sister will get together someday. Just a random thought. And, possibly, the two may be Mikuru's great great grandparents!! Although if that was the case, then the girl in Kyon's story would work better in getting together with the scientist kid... because according to Kyon she's cute and rivals, in her appearance, Mikuru if it were not for her age. Either that or we discover that Kyon is a lolicon.

Other Haruhi-related things.

1. )Apparently in a facebook group it is said that there will be a live-action Haruhi drama (WTF?).

...Well, I admit the Mikuru they found looks cute. Nagato looks rather...not-Nagato-ish though. KOIZUMI LOOKS FAT D: I AM SADDENED BY THAT...

2.) English Haruhi promo video. They only really had Kyon's, Haruhi's, and Mikuru's voice, but I somehow get the feeling that Haruhi's voice is very annoying, and would be hard to get used to. Partly probably because the voice actor can't even pronounce Haruhi's own name correctly (although I'm not bashing her for it, I tried it myself and I find it hard to get the pronunciation right for Japanese in general). I have to say though the voice actor they found for Mikuru is phenomenal, possibly the best English VA out there. To maintain and keep Mikuru's cute and appealing voice from Japanese to English is a Godsend.
A lot better, anyway, than Haruhi's "American Feminist" voice (at least, IMHO).


EDIT: The live drama is apparently a rumor. Blog is a wishlist apparently of, if Haruhi was made into a live drama, who the blogger wants as actors. Still funny, though :p

Urgency

One of the most annoying things in the world is on any typical school day, I wake up being anxious to death about how much work and crap I have to do for the day, goto school, do some of that work, then by the nighttime I'm browsing 4chan and feeling bored even though just that morning I felt like I'll have work that will never end. I feel guilty and like a hypocrite yet it happens anyway. Perhaps this is just the stupidity and lack of efficiency of a "normal" person... alas if only I could be not normal and do something great like cure cancer with my not-normal-ness...

I played Touhou a while ago. That game likes to taunt me. I'll never beat this game with 1 cc even in normal mode. It reminds me that I need years to get decently good at a game, like EFZ, where other people get good at games in 2 days. :p Not that games are important, anyway. I already have fair composition over myself in playing games and not getting to into them. Although Touhou really frustrated me today.

Over Spring break I watched a few anime series. I finished Asatte no Houkou (an emo anime) and Kanon (an awesome anime) and began to get caught up on Code Geass (an upbeat anime). I could BS more but I'm tired, and finally not bored because I have someone to talk to over AIM now. :p
