It's already all over the internets by now, but for completeness sake, a Haruhi movie has been officially announced to be released in the Spring of 2010 (might be right during my Japan 2010 trip ^^). It will be the much awaited fan-favorite arc: The Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi, which was though to be in the second season. The story revolves a lot around Nagato Yuki and will feature a long-haired Haruhi. The long-haired Haruhi was used a promotion picture for the second season but has thus been postponed for the movie.

Let's just hope the people who thought up the 8-episode Endless Eight arc have been sacked and no more surprises will be come up, but knowing what we've seen in the past, the movie might just as well be released Spring 2011. But I still have hope :-)

Update: The movie supposed to be more than 2 hours long, that's almost 6 regular episodes!

Today arrived a package from CDJapan in the mail with 3 items in it ^^

- a cushion case from the Saki anime. Will post pictures of it soon, but you can see it through the link. I'm quite happy about it because these collectibles sell out very fast.

- Perfume in Happy de Ki-ni naru Chandelier House 3 DVD Box: DVD Box containing all 12 episodes of Perfume no Chandelier House and the best bits of their other 2 shows: HAPPY! and Ki-ni naru Ko-chan. Not subtitled though, but playable in Europe because Japan is also region 2 ;p I still have the full HD TV rips though :)

- K-ON! Sakurako Keionbu Official Band Yarouyo CD + Band score sheet music: the CD didn't interest me that much, but the band score is very nice. It's the complete band score of almost all the songs from K-ON including Cagayake Girls and Don't Say Lazy. The CD contains some full version of some of the songs but also short practice parts for every instrument.

P.S.: It's Ayu's birthday tomorrow (Oct 2nd), so Happy Birthday! Otanjoubi omedetou!
