The Extravaganza of Haruhi Suzumiya
Released just recently on DVD, this is a fan conference cum live concert featuring seiyuus from the aforementioned show that took place in March. The entire was around 4 hours long; the first half was a discussion panel with the director, character designer and the main cast and a short skit featuring the SOS Brigade while the second half featured live songs performed by the seiyuus.

MC Shiraishi (WA-WA-WASUREMONO Tanaguchi)

MC Matsumoto (Kyon's other pal whose name I forgot)

Aya Hirano (Haruhi)

Sugita Tomokazu (Char Aznable Kyon)

Gotou Yuuko (Mi-mi-mirakuru-mikuru-run)

Chihara Minori (Yuki)

Ono Daisuke (Itsuki)

Matsuoka Yuki (Tsuruya nyoro~n)

Kuwatani Natsuko (Asakura Ryoko)

Aoki Sayaka (Kyon's sis)

Shiratori Yuri (Green hair chick Emiri)

Mr Director Ishihara Tatsuya

Character Designer Ikeda Shouko
It was a sold out event, with both audience and performers being very enthusiastic. The highlight of the event was when the 3 main female seiyuus performed the legendary Hare Hare Yukai dance, which was very well done indeed. Then there was the encore that featured Kyon and Itsuki. My favourite was when Sugita performed his song and this person showed up:

I’ve been meaning to torrent this. I watched a couple of the performances I was really interested in on youtube (Kentai Life Returns, Hare Hare Yukai) but it’d probably be better with higher quality.
Now if only my subbed Hayate no Gotoku episodes would hurry up… x3

You can actually download this from #moe@rizon.net like what I did. =P
August 12th, 2007
… What’s that? >.<;
August 12th, 2007
o_O
Never heard of mIRC? ^^;
August 12th, 2007
Oh, right, right. I was thinking it might be that. x3
I haven’t really used it that much, since it confuses me slightly. :3 But I’ll give it a try.
August 12th, 2007
Well, do so, since when I tried it, there weren’t any other leechers at the time, so I got good speeds. xD
August 12th, 2007
Hmmm…
So…
How do I get to it one I’m connected to mIRC?
Sorry if I’m bugging you. x3
August 12th, 2007
Paste the following onto your browser:
irc://irc.rizon.net/moe
It should take you directly to their channel, although you need to register your nick first.
August 12th, 2007
I’m confused. *slightly hopeless at these things.* x3
I made my way onto the channel, though! x3
August 12th, 2007
:D
Yay, I did it! Thank you so much! :3
August 12th, 2007
No problem. Well I’m glad you managed to do it without much hassle. IRC is really the best alternative to torrents if you want great speeds and the latest episodes. ^^
August 12th, 2007
I’ll definetely start getting more stuff on irc, since torrents always seem to run kind of slow for me.
August 12th, 2007
Indeed, and especially from my part of the world, bittorent is capped. =/
August 12th, 2007
Because of the whole Odex thing, or something else?
August 12th, 2007
Haha, I’m not from Singapore, but a neighboring country >_>
August 12th, 2007
Oh, okay. I thought you were from there for some reason…
So where are you from? :3
August 12th, 2007
Malaysia. The place where bootleg anime dvds are passed off and sold as originals. Lawl.
August 12th, 2007
x3 I’ve heard of professional stores stocking bootleg things before.
August 12th, 2007
Which are pretty much the only available ones here. The only original stuff are those that are REALLY old.
August 13th, 2007
That’s too bad. Or I guess it could be a good thing depending how you look at it.
October 16th, 2007
Are they planning on releasing this on DVD in the States? If they already have can you tell me were to get it?
October 17th, 2007
No news as of yet, considering it only got released a while back in Japan. In any case, I’ll post something up if there’s any news of a States release.
