    65 dollars for the entire season sounds pretty good. The only bad thing is that DVDs are region-locked and I doubt they are going to release the DVDs in the Europe region.

    I always love it when I see updated Haruhi news on this site!
    I wonder what the Endless Eight Prologue is?

    @Survivor: Although I don’t see why they won’t release it in Europe, I doubt they will too… I mean, is even the first season released here? Haruhi worldwide, please.

  • Sulejman said:

    Endless Eight Prologue?

    Well, it could be many things. Like a short video shoiwng Haruhi in her room, on the last day of summer, thinking “this summer wasn’t good enough. We missed something. I don’t want summer to end”. Or whatever.

    Guys… Im also European, but have you never heard about Ebay?
    That was here I got the light novels…

    The Endless Eight Prologue is a feature that was on the third R2 limited edition DVD disc where Tomokazu Sugita read the prologue from the fifth novel (right before the actual story in the novel). It’s placed over three still frames of the group returning from the Lone Island mystery.

    Released on my Birthday! What a result!

  • Almighty Kyon! said:

    aww a bit dear for me but it is quite a good bundle and @Tom that is pretty awesome

  • Dangnammit said:

    Well, it is relatively easy to get a hold of a region free DVD player these days and even easier to get software based region free DVD players on PC.

    Also many DVD players can be hacked with a simple remote button code to enable multi region playback which is intended for the manufacturer to set region!

    Europeans should be safe to import this bundle provided they do a little bit of googling first!

  • JDRIZZLE said:

    I’m excited now!

  • Discrimo said:

    Uhh guys, I have volume 4 of the limited edition dvds and it’s region 2(Japan and Europe) and I ordered them from a shop called Sub City, and I can order the rest of them too. Anyway, Can’t wait for season 2!

  • Survivor said:

    @Carol:
    DVDs are region-locked. American DVDs can’t be played on European DVD players.

    I did saw the season 1 episodes on amazon.co.uk, but not a DVD that contains all the episodes on DVD, only DVDs that have 3 episodes each. So that’s why i’ve been holding off a little, praying that a complete bundle will to Europe.

  • Bebopchamploo said:

    So no new on a UK release :( oh well hopefully it will be out in the UK within the next few months

  • tsuruya-ism said:

    yay^^

  • John said:

    Can’t wait

  • Gladiator Beast MCK said:

    I really, REALLY hope that, when they say “Tomare!” and “Super Driver” CD tracks, they mean the original versions. Not Cristina Valenzuela’s versions. I have nothing wrong with most of Cristina’s fandubs, but her versions of “Super Driver”, and “Tomare!” feel kinda wrong. That, and Aya Hirano is too amazing to not have on the CDs.

  • Joveus said:

    I understand that these DVDs are shipping as a collection, but it is a “complete” collection of original and rebroadcast episodes, or just the new stuff? Does anyone know?

  • MissSuzumiya'sBuddy said:

    Sounds good, but I’m looking forward to the Disappearance though.
    BTW anyone know how to make an account here/sign up in this site to get info on the updates?

  • coolpinkey said:

    Wow! I can’t wait for season 2… It comes right before my birthday and I’m bored of seeing them all on just youtube with english subs. Now I can watch them all…Bring on the Dubs!!!

  • Link said:

    The UK does have the complete first season, http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=280;0;-1;-1;-1&sku=55859. It was published by Beez Entertainment.

    I hope we get season 2 and the movie as well soon.

    I found your entry interesting thus I’ve added a Trackback to it on my weblog :)

  • Tristan Pascoe said:

    whens it coming out?

  • John Smith said:

    Endless Eight is a series of 8 episodes that end of in a endless loop on a never ending summer. It starts in the second episode in and everything that happens after that is similar in how the do everything and how it happens, clothing and dialogue is slightly different.

    But I’ll have you know it still was entertaining to watch.
    Plus I’m pretty sure the movie will be AWESOME

  • ~Spark~ said:

    Thats great news! But does it come with season one as well????
    Or is it just the second 14 episodes?

  • Ahaisko said:

    Where are you guys buying the DVDs when it comes out? Amazon has a 4Disc set, but on BestBuy.com they have a 5disc set that comes out in September…

  • Haruhi-chan said:

    Sounds like BestBuy has the better deal.

  • ~Spark~ said:

    What will be on the fifth disc?

  • Ahaisko said:

    It doesn’t specify what’s on the 5th disc, just says that there’s 5 discs.

  • ~Spark~ said:

    How much will it cost?

  • Ahaisko said:

    They both cost the same, Amazons cheaper right now if you pre-order though I believe.

  • ~Spark~ said:

    But I don’t think I get fifth disc. Can I preorder from Bestbuy?

  • Ahaisko said:

    Yea you can preorder from Bestbuy.

  • ~Spark~ said:

    Ok, I guess I will get it there :)
    Thanks for your help!

  • ZeroRadius said:

    If you pre-order it on Amazon.com you can get it for $44.99 I already ordered mine (^_^) heres a link to the pre-order: http://www.amazon.com/Melancholy-Haruhi-Suzumiya-Season/dp/B003RDPYBM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1281505400&sr=8-1
