Posted by: Shin in The Melancholy Of Suzumiya Haruhi, tags: Japanwww, Otaku, SeiyuusReleased 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.

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

… What’s that? >.<;

o_O
Never heard of mIRC? ^^;
August 12th, 2007 at 4:12 am
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 at 4:14 am
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 at 4:17 am
Hmmm…
So…
How do I get to it one I’m connected to mIRC?
Sorry if I’m bugging you. x3

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.

I’m confused. *slightly hopeless at these things.* x3
I made my way onto the channel, though! x3

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 at 5:02 am
I’ll definetely start getting more stuff on irc, since torrents always seem to run kind of slow for me.
August 12th, 2007 at 5:12 am
Indeed, and especially from my part of the world, bittorent is capped. =/
August 12th, 2007 at 5:16 am
Because of the whole Odex thing, or something else?
August 12th, 2007 at 5:18 am
Haha, I’m not from Singapore, but a neighboring country >_>
August 12th, 2007 at 5:33 am
Oh, okay. I thought you were from there for some reason…
So where are you from? :3

Malaysia. The place where bootleg anime dvds are passed off and sold as originals. Lawl.
August 12th, 2007 at 11:52 am
x3 I’ve heard of professional stores stocking bootleg things before.
August 12th, 2007 at 5:51 pm
Which are pretty much the only available ones here. The only original stuff are those that are REALLY old.
August 13th, 2007 at 1:25 am
That’s too bad. Or I guess it could be a good thing depending how you look at it.
October 16th, 2007 at 11:18 pm
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 at 3:13 am
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.
