About Suzumiya Haruhi No Yuutsu and Haruhiism
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (涼宮ハルヒの憂鬱 Suzumiya Haruhi no Yūutsu) is the name of the 2006 television anime based on the series of novels, the first of which bears the same name. The anime adaptation, directed by Tatsuya Ishihara and produced by Kyoto Animation, shares the first novel's plot line, interspersed in six self-contained episodes. Intermixed between them were seven episodes based on chapters from the third, fifth and sixth novels. The ninth episode, "Someday in the Rain", was a new story written specifically for the anime by Nagaru Tanigawa. The fourteen episode series premiered in Japan on April 2nd, 2006 and aired until July 2nd, 2006. Notably, these episodes were not originally broadcast in chronological order.
Soon after the show aired, Kadokawa Shoten received various offers from companies in regards to licensing the anime, manga, and novels. On December 22nd, 2006, the website asosbrigade.com revealed that the anime version of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya was licensed for North America distribution by Kadokawa Pictures USA who sub-licensed production and distribution to Bandai Entertainment. The first and second DVDs were released on May 29th, 2007 and July 3rd, 2007, respectively.
The second season of the anime series was first announced in a full-page advertisement of Asahi Shimbun on July 7th, 2007 in Japan.HARUHIISM?
The series has been met with a great deal of popularity and a dedicated fanbase and has become a cult television series. As of December 2006, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is the most popular anime in Japan according to Newtype magazine. Fans of the series call themselves "Haruhiists" (in the same manner that Star Trek fans are Trekkies), and the collective fandom is known as Haruhiism (ハルヒ主義 Haruhi shugi). The concept of Haruhiism is portrayed by fans to be somewhat of a pseudoreligion, with Haruhi as "God."
