| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So this highly anticipated movie has finally hit the Japanese theaters, Im sure the question many people are asking is...was it any good? Although I would say im bracing for epic based on the OST + trailers + screens + reading the novel I wonder if anyone lucky enough has already gone and watched this 2 hour and 43 minute event. And of course, give us your thoughts on it. I guess the best we can do for now is wait for a camrip soon(not likely) or for the DVD/BD months from now |

| I just watched the movie this afternoon. I did not read the novel so I knew nothing excepted it was about Haruhi's disappearance, but I thought the story was pretty good. Didn't seem so long either, but some scenes were amazingly epic. I think that Kyon and Yuki are my favorite characters, now. :3 |
| Kyon-kun asa da yo, okite~! Amazing movie, it was a perfect adaptation of the novel . In fact, I feel like I like the movie is better than the novel because some scenes were just amazingly well done, and felt more intense than the novel counterparts. The production values are of course top-notch, this being a KyoAni production and all. Also, as expected, Yuki moe overload. And long haired Haruhi ｷﾀ━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━!!!! |

| I read the novel again yesterday just because I wished I could be watching the movie..... At this point I'd watch a shitty camera rip. I'm hoping that in like a couple months a copy of the DVD, not for sale, will be circulated very low key by top KyoAni members. Then one of them will rip it for us! This is how most movies in theaters now (at least in the states) get pirated before the official DVD release. Of course that is just my wishful thinking..... /me wants movie |
 |
| Watched it yesterday. And of course it was fucking awesome. Yuki was definitely the star of this movie. Certainly a moe overload. Have no real complaints other than the soundtrack. |

What's wrong with the soundtracks? I've listened several time movie OST and it's really great. Well, unless you dislike orchestra then that explains why. Seriously to say, I can't even imagine how some people can dislike orchestra. :/ Anyway, can't wait for DVD rip and cam rip(if there's going to be one which I highly doubt). |
| Like Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody(2nd favourite story after... well, you know) I'm really looking forward to it. But I want to know what differences there was with the new Bouken Desho Desho? |
| To all of you who are like me, going crazy waiting for a chance to view this movie, a word of advice; don't read the novel. I read The Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi again and let me tell you, it only made me want to the see the movie EVEN MORE. This wait just became exponentially longer and harder for me (pause). Seriously, biggest mistake I've made in 2010 was rereading that novel.... I want to see the movie so baddddddd |
| |
| REALLY epic movie!! Alt-Nagato is extra moe! and Kyon did good job on his monologue. Also Ryoko dancing in the end was awesome. Actually they kept rather faithfull to the novel, which is a good thing. Yeah, the movie was almost three hours but didn't feel that long. I think It was sold out on the day I watched it (Shinjuku Wald 9). Good thing they had online reservation. |
 "Time is liquid. One moment is no more important than any other and all moments quickly run away." |
| even with the crap quality, the flickering....and the resolution...it didnt matter...this movie was just incredible...I was left speechless for a lot of moments, and even though I read the novels and I knew what was going to happen, all the good scenes from the novel were just pumped full of steroids for the movie....there is no comparison here, usually the source material is better than the adaptation...but im making an exception here...this movie surpassed what I thought was the best arc of the Haruhi series...things this good dont show up very often...here is a 10/10 for this movie, I guess that makes it the 5th thing I give that score on my list now |
| Watched it today along with saka ^^. And of course it was fucking awesome. Yuki was definitely the star of this movie. Certainly a moe overload. Have to rewatch it with better quality but ye so far i enjoyed it was very exciting and had wtf moments lol XD Haruhi with long hair as well <3 |

Сould not stop before. game8910 said: even with the crap quality, the flickering....and the resolution...it didnt matter...this movie was just incredible... absolutely agree. amazing thing. |
| sorry for my english |

I watched 23 minutes of it...a whole normal episode. God, I want subs with this, the quality doesn't ruin the giant greatness of the movie, just as you guys say. |
| Well, I just skimmed through cam rip. Yeah, movie looks incredible. Can't wait DVD/Blu-ray! |
| Just caved in and watched the camrip version... it only makes me anticipate a proper release more. I can already tell even with the low-res that the animation is great, the characters/VAs are at the top of their game (even without words, knowing the characters/plot/context and a their delivery allows one to get the gist of the conversation), and from what I've heard of the firsthand experience, they didn't sacrifice the plot either. Can't wait for a good-quality release with subs. |
| I'm liking the movie even though it's camrip right now. Nice Yuki-chan with emotion, very shy~. I chose to watch raw ver. of camrip instead of sub, but it is worth to wait until DVD release and watch more HQ ver., in raw later. |

| do i need to finish the 2nd season to be able to watch the movie xD? |
     |
EuphoricField said: do i need to finish the 2nd season to be able to watch the movie xD? Nah... not really. The Sighs of Haruhi was only "behind the scenes". I do not need to mention E8. :D |
EuphoricField said: do i need to finish the 2nd season to be able to watch the movie xD? Just watch the 1st episode of s2. The move was very good, if not great. For now it gets 8/10, will reevaluate after watching it on bluray. Music was great in building atmosphere and tension. Few epic scenes making it worthy watching in a theater. First 40 minutes or so were terribly boring for me though (prologue). |

EuphoricField said: do i need to finish the 2nd season to be able to watch the movie xD? Just the first episode "Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody", it's important. The rest isn't. Watch 2 episodes of Endless Eight (the first and the last), then the rest is alright. It's just the making of 'Episode 00' from Season One. Although, some other stuff happened during filming. The film does takes place after 'Someday After The Rain'. |
| Just finished it and all I can say is, that it was defenitly worth the waiting. Can´t wait for a version in decent quality! |
| when i saw the camrip up with subs i felt like i was going to faint xDDDD i dont mind the poor quality as long as i get to see my cute, shy Nagato *____* ell, i was pleased, i loved the movie, and Yuki's almost crying face when Kyon gives her back the club application made me cry T_T how in Earth can u refuse her?? anyways, loved it, an awesome adaptation *_* me wants next book movified ~w~ |
| So I just now finished watching movie. I'll say just this about movie"it's perfect". Personally to me it's the best movie I've ever seen. It's already on my /top 1 favorites anime list. Yeah, it was that good. Now all that's left DVD/Blu-ray rips. Without a doubt I'll re-watch this movie countless time. Btw, it was a long time since I watched cam rip release. ;D stAtic91 said: SoFarGone said: It's a camrip, isn't it? Which means shit quality. Personally I'm going to wait for the DVD.subs are already out? Movie came out only a few months ago. Even it's shit quality fact won't change that it's awesome. |
| OH GOD, THAT WAS AMAZING. I didn't see ANY OF IT coming. This is my best accomplishment this year, finishing this movie. I'm so pathetic. ;_; |
| The quality was actually bearable. It'll obviously be 100 times better with DVD quality, but nobody should not watch the camrip version. The movie was so... beautiful. They definitely made up for E8 with it. |
     |
| Finished watching...and it was such a great movie!!! My two favorite scenes: |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |
| Wow... Just wow... Loved every moment of it from beginning to end. Perfect. |
 |
| The first two hours were amazing, but the last 30 minutes absolutely blew me away. Waiting months and months and months for the dvdrip just for quality's sake is ridiculous, this movie needs to be watched by any Haruhi fan. Also, |
| Not bad quite interesting =D better than the tv ... lol (obviously) |
     |
| That was greatness indeed, I love it when my favorite novels get a movie that is even better than the novel itself. So full of win! |
 |
| I love when Koizumi said while the tram was passing and Kyon couldn't hear. Koizumi: " ...ves you " (Haruhi) <3 |

Have no real complaints other than the soundtrack. Dude how did you watch it? Do you know Japanese, is that it? >.> Also, this is movie was fucking awesome. Possibly the best animated movie I've ever seen, and generally one of the best movies I've ever seen period. Fucking amazing. |
Confucius say man who stand on toilet is high on pot. |
| Pure, clean and virgin win. |
| This was awesome. Though, it doesn't covered the fact that E8 still sux. I just loved hearing Aya Hirano voicing a non-energetic role. Also, Yuko Goto and Chihara Minori are both talented seiyuus! They can use a voice suitable for the character! |
    |
| Watched it, damn that was amazing I really liked Haruhi's other version. I like how for once she kinda just let kyon do things, and wasn't as bossy or acted like she knew how everything was gonna turn out. xD Her with long hair <3 Seeing her sleep there right next to kyon was sweet too. And when he brushed her hair ;o; The shy Yuki was really cute too And there was so much time jumping and stuff that I was super confused by the end of the movie. @__@ Had to read some stuff online to clear things up Definitely gonna rewatch when a high quality versions is released |
| Amazing. Simply an amazing movie. Nagato was great. A scene at the end of the film on the roof was ... ahhh hard to describe... Same when Haruhi and Kyon finally met and after when she hit him^^. The scene when Kyon asked himself which world he chooses was also great. God I cant wait for DVD but despite the fact it's only camrip I can see the movie is well made. Those who have lost faith in the Endless Eight now should disappear in the abyss. |

| I was surprised. This marvellous movies was definetely a compensation for the somewhat infamous "Endless Eight." |
| 耳を塞いでも両手をすり抜ける真実に惑うよ。 |
| I just saw the camrip w/subs. The quality wasn't even that bad (imo). This movie was a masterpiece... - Nagato was so cute. <3 - Kyon's monologue was awesome. I never thought he would freak out like that... - I didn't read the light novel, so I didn't really know what was going to happen at times, but either way, the plot was epic, especially the ending. - Who would rate this movie a 1-6 stars at out of 10? HATERS! - Everyone knows this movie was Kyon x Yuki. - I find it hilarious that Koizumi still smiles and stays calm, even if he has no idea what the hell is going on. |

| "That, Nagato, is what we call emotions." |
| So... it's good after all? I guess after a couple years of watching anime I'll have to finally start up Haruhi. |
| Oh. My. God. That was fucking amazing. I'm seriously speechless. 10/10. A freaking masterpiece. But I still don't get one part... What happened anyway? I mean, Asukara (or something) stabbed Kyon. Kyon was dying, and both Asahina's AND himself were standing there. I really didn't get it. And all of a sudden, he was back in the normal world. Without shooting Nagato. Could someone explain what exactly happened? |

You could see her picking it up. She went along with the future Kyon and Asahina. |
