Haruhi’s escapades continue in two new short stories! In the first, “Editor in Chief,” Haruhi must save the SOS Brigade from being disbanded by the school. She has to prove that they are a legitimate literature club by publishing a collection of essays and stories. Naturally, Haruhi takes charge as editor in chief. In “Wandering Shadow,” Haruhi and the gang take on the spirit world when they investigate the haunting of a local dog walk. Will the group need to perform its first canine exorcism? Anything can happen when Haruhi is around!

The crowdfunding of Suzumiya Haruhi
Oct 22
“¡Dame tus euros, tío!”
Anime Project, a young Spanish company created by anime fans in 2008, is trying to bring to their country, Spain, the first season of Suzumiya Haruhi on Blu-ray using an interesting model: crowdfunding. For as little as 5 Euros, you can get your own name listed on the credits of the final disc. There are different “prizes” you can get depending on how much you donate, but one of them is quite interesting: if you donate 1,000 Euros, you can even participate in the dubbing!! Well, only 3 places are allowed, and only doing a support character, but it’s an interesting way to attract fundings.

Moe Day: Nagato Yuki voted 18th place
Oct 15
“It’s fine as long as I’m your #1!!”
Apparently October 10th was declared as the Moe Day cause the kanjis for October 10 (十日十月) look like the kanji for Moe (萌). Biglobe selected that date to close out a poll to select the cutest character, and Nagato Yuki got the 18th place, Suzumiya Haruhi was 23th, and Kyon’s sister was 40th. As incredible as it may be, the über-moe Asahina Mikuru was ignored!! There’s no justice in this word.
