Aliens & the most endearing♥ words ever spoken by an artist/actress/idol/seiyuu~!
It's not too often that I see clips like these and if you watch I think you'll be really *moved* by them and their honesty and warmth. ^^
Before getting to those aforementioned *words* which I truly have to say....I've never ever imagined hearing from an idol/seiyuu or really any artist for that matter and I mean that so sincerely,.............I just want to say I'm now in total "Haruhi" heaven!!!! ………(゜∀゜)………。Not long ago I wasn't watching really any anime at all but for these past few days (Saturday till early this morning!) I've been totally hooked on Haruhi! After consuming all 350 minutes of the 14 episodes in the complete episode box set I ended up watching not only all of the Japanese extras but also all of the ASOS Brigade episodes, making of and preview clips as well. ^ ^
I don't think I've ever consumed a box set so completely as I did with this one as not a single link or minute was left unclicked by early morning's end and now I'm left with that oh so empty and sad feeling......like I've somehow lost a very close friend. (*sigh*...) so no more new episodes to watch I thought......why did I have to watch them all so quickly in such a short period of time?!!! (゜ロ゜ノ)ノ ........happily Harimakenji just informed me of a second season now underway in broadcasts in Japan!! Life is *happy* again! ( ̄▽ ̄)

As this is a most well known series and I'm so so way behind on discovering it I'll refrain from gushing ヽ(。´▽`。)ノ。。!!too much....so just a little! Things I find so endearing about "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" series......Kyon's narration: there's something so warm and ensuring about his tone, phrasing, pace and Yes~! his sense of reality and relatable perception through it all~....great stories always need great storytellers ne~. =) / The offbeatness of the characters and all of those sly inside jokes and jabs which occur throughout.....some based on popular culture while others maybe just on common mannerisms...beliefs....Santa Claus, aliens, people from the future & psychics..oh! and the logic of physics! XD / Asahina Mikuru......all anime craves the pinnacle of cuteness and she's definitely all of that and beyond~! / Theme songs~...opening, ending and all of those in between...especially those in "Live Alive"..a most wonderful moment in the series and the more you can listen to Hirano Aya sing♪♪!!..or just speak!!..the better!! / Bunny, maid and all other included cosplay outfits! OMG! and there's seifuku too! ♥~♥~♥~! / Which then leads to a great abundance of boob gratuities and how Haruhi seems to love dressing and undressing or was it undressing and then dressing???...well either way it was worthy of a few nosebleeds I'm sure from the male audience! XD / The name or should I say acronym itself: SOS Brigade....brilliant!! / Supernatural baseball! / Supernatural video game battles! / Did I already mention maid outfits and green tea? XD / Snow White?!....yes the *kiss*! / Yuki!....so soft spoken and her much too calm ♥demeanor♥ all hiding what's really inside!.....really one of the best characters ever written!! (dead accurate "fortunes" anyone? :o ) / So let's see........characters, voices, pacing....oh and of course story line!! There's more but I should stop or this could go on for awhile…(^q^)

But what of aliens?? (・c_・;)?I mean...haven't you ever wondered? Do they exist? Do they eat? What do they consume? Would it be awkward meeting one? And what exactly does the director (boss) do all day???.....
...well wonder no more,
this clip explains a lot!
Well
sort of! (。ーωー。)

And when she said to someone in the audience "don't laugh" I nearly fell out of my chair!…(^q^)

When Anise & Cloves mentioned all of the extras included when you purchase the DVDs I never imagined there being this amount or in particular this quality of extras included! In addition to Nekoman galleries...and Aya draws some really cute art throughout the extras!, broadcast previews, TV commercials, special opening and ending sequences and a most amusing documentary like feature on the American end to the production team and promotion......the most beloved feature has to be the eight part making of Haruhi Suzumiya clips which cover everything from Hirano Aya's "Bouken desho desho?" 2nd single campaign tour, amazingly real and candid in studio footage of the recording and its rehearsals including inprovisational conversations, tours of the actual anime studio!...with some most adorable art presented by Ayachan!!!, insight into the anime process itself including introductions to the production team!, extensive CM making of footage with on location filming and direction, aliens & so much more...........oh and Yes~!..what I have been eluding to from the very beginning when I first started typing the title atop which surges from a most emotional final to Hirano Aya's single campaign where a most heartfelt thank you is said to fans everywhere supporting her...then culminating into the most *endearing* words ever spoken by an idol/seiyuu/actress/artist ever!! ♥

Watching these videos you posted reminded me how surprised I was when I first saw her... Her normal voice is sooo different from how she sounds as Haruhi... It was this Hey Hey Hey! video, there's a part (2:15) when she changes her voice that I've seen some hundreds of times since...
The live concert in one of the last episodes is my favorite part *_* it's just so perfectly animated... And it's sooooo rare to find an anime series like that. It's the kind of animation you'd expect from a big budget 1h and a half anime movie, not a TV anime series, they went all the way to sync the characters with the songs... It's better than all more music-focused anime I've seen, that's for sure ^_^
*Hugs*
Lucky Star
Azumanga Daioh
And Yay! you found the exact phrase by Ayachan which just *moved* me so much when I heard it! I've heard lots of emotional artists MCs mostly from concerts and events but Ayachan's trumps them all! o(*´∀`)o゛♥ I kept rewinding this portion of the clip and rewatching....I'm just so moved and there's such a cute humorous aura to it too..especially with the fans interaction with her at this point! ^ ^
During the MCs in her "Riot Tour" concert DVD she sometimes goes between full "Haruhi" vocals to normal......she's just so amazing and even there there are so many female fans in the audience! Yay! \(^o^)/☆
You're so right as the animation sequence during Haruhi's live performance is meticulously done with so much attention to detail and timing! I'm just soooo in ♥ with this series now! I just began watching it again last night....so funny, I need something new to watch soon or I'll begin to drive the others bonkers with me watching it over and over! XD
I'm writing all of these down....my anime to watch list! =) So far I have suggestions of "K-ON", "Lucky Star" and "Azumanga Daioh." Ayachan in "Lucky Star" makes me want to order right away!!! ………(゜∀゜)………。I hope it's available for sale.....
I love episodic t.v.! Thank you so much! My world is now expanding! ^ ^
Checking "Azumanga Daioh" on Amazon.com I noticed that they're 3 different complete version box sets......I'm thinking to go with the first one titled complete class album as I think that cover looks the *prettiest*. XD 6 discs, 650 minutes.....it looks like they all have the same running time although I'm not sure of the extras included with each edition and if one is perhaps more inclusive than the others? Sorry to be so clueless! :P
I'm not sure myself about the differences between the box sets, but if you look at the reviews, one of them says the "complete class album" doesn't have extras.
Okay I musn't shop by *cute* appearances anymore! (._.;) Thank you for pointing this out!!! The extras are soooooo desirable! I'll order one of the other two box sets instead. Thank you! =)
"While ADV are praised by many fans for often including a lot of extras on their discs, Azumanga once again proves a surprising disappointment for the most part. The actual on-disc extras are the exact same things seen in the past couple releases; aside from an automatically-cycling set of production sketches, clean opening and closing, and trailers, there's nothing to be found here. However, the saving grace comes from what's packaged with the disc, rather than what's actually on it. Another wonderful reversible cover, this time featuring Sakaki on both the default and reverse, and the booklet of translation notes, production commentary, and character sketches (of both Sakaki and Kaorin) is as in-depth and insightful as ever. Also included with this volume is an adorable lapel pin of Sakaki's plush cat doll (and one of AzuDai's mascots), Necoconeco."
And if they didn't include much in the original DVDs, and nothing in the descriptions for the box sets (which are usually the same DVDs put together) talks about added extras... Well, I start to wonder if they have anything worthwile.
Hmmm..I'm not sure which to choose now. (・c_・;)?Maybe ignorance is truly bliss.....as in me not knowing of the unknown features or lack of them in each set leads to me not being disappointed with any of them? LOL...that sounds so stupid I know!...(^q^) I'll order one of them other than the "Class Album edition" and hope for the best ne~. =)
You must have watched so many anime especially with your artistic background~....thank you so much!! ^ ^
