Product Description

Product Description

Aliens, time travelers, and ESPers… I used to believe that none of these could possibly exist. But now everything I once believed to be the subject of TV specials, comic books and an over-active imagination have all come tumbling into my life! And apparently they've all gathered because of Haruhi! The appearance of the fantastical beings is occurring right under Haruhi's nose and to make matters worse, she's getting bored! And when Haruhi gets bored, it can lead to some full blown trouble. In order to deal with her boredom, I'm going to have to escape from homicidal classmates, a grey world filled with gigantic beings bent on its destruction, and win a game of baseball. And what does Snow White have to do with all of this? Limited Edition includes: Haruhi DVD Vol 2 with Special Variant Cover, Double-sided Pencil board, Iron-on Haruhi Cosplay Armband and Bouken Desho Desho CD. Genre: Comedy/Action/Mystery/Sci-Fi.

Amazon.com

When Kyon, the put-upon narrator of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya asks the title character why she's obsessed with time-travelers, aliens, and espers, she replies indignantly, "What kind of fun does a normal high school student have?" Haruhi's idea of fun doesn't jibe with Kyon's, but that doesn't matter. She's not only nuttier than he imagined, she's infinitely more powerful. Itsuki, the esper, tells Kyon that the existence of the entire universe may depend on Haruhi's whims. When she gets upset, dark gaps open between dimensions, haunted by shinji (ghostly giants) whom Itsuki and other espers must destroy. As the story progresses and more evidence of Haruhi's powers accumulates, Kyon wonders if he's having nightmares or protecting the world from destruction. His uncertainty adds an unsettling note to the off-beat mixture of comedy and fantasy that have made Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya so popular. The Limited Edition includes a second disc with the first episodes in their original broadcast order (in Japanese with English subtitles), an armband for the SOS club, an iron-on decal, a small pencil board, and a Bouken Desho Desho CD. (Rated 13 and older: cartoon violence, risqué humor) --Charles Solomon

5.0 out of 5 stars Second Installment of one of the Best Recent Anime Series
Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2011
Verified Purchase
If you're an Anime Otaku (and you understand what an Anime Otaku is) then this series is for you. This review concerns Volume 2 of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

BLUF: Worth every penny

Details: If you're reading this - then you already know the story behind this anime. (If not, I won't spoil the series here.) Watching this series in Broadcast Order is essential to appreciating it. Volume 2 of the Limited Edition box set includes a second DVD with the second installment of the series in Broadcast Order (sorry Dub Fans, it's Subtitled Only). It also includes a CD with Music from the series that is actually an imported version of a CD sold on the open market in Japan - and if you like the music in this show, you'll want this CD. Finally, there's beautifully drawn insert that has the show's characters in various poses on both sides that's printed on plastic (the pencil board mentioned in the description and it's actually very nice) and other goodies in the box.

So is it worth paying extra for this version versus the Regular Edition? ABSOLUTELY. It's actually a great value:
-Same DVD you get with the regular edition (price varies - but $26 as of this writing)
-Vol. 1 of the series in Broadcast Order (not available anywhere else - even Japan)
-Bouken Desho Desho CD Single (about $25 from Amazon Japan depending on the Dollar/Yen rate)
-Other goodies thrown in for good measure

The Bouken Desho Desho CD Single contains:
-Bouken Desho Desho - the full version of the opening song used in the Anime Series
-Kaze Yomi Ribbon (The Ribbon for Reading Wind)- the full version of the opening song for the radio drama series broadcast in Japan
-Karaoke Versions (No Vocals) of the above songs - so you can embarass yourself in the privacy of your car

Finally, if you haven't watched this series yet - there's enough depth to this show that you'll get something different out of every viewing.

This series has my strongest recommendation.

(This review is for the 4 individual volumes as a whole)

The selling point for these DVDs is having to pay only a fraction for the set (Volumes 1, 2, 3 & 4) than what the single package costs AND coming with awesome keepsakes (including CDs!). There is extra content but it's not that entertaining (behind the scenes live-action/American S.O.S. Brigade fan thing). There's about 3 episodes per disc, with the second disc containing the original broadcast order in Japanese with English subtitles.

Also note - this is only season 1 - there is a season 2 that happens simultaneously among these episodes that you should also check out (just mind the infamous 'Endless Eight' section :P)

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Anime's EVER!
Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2007

This is one of the few anime series out there which dares to be diffent. The plot twists are many and it has many eliments of fan service and even mecha. The story dares to be diffrent becouse its shown from the third persons view point and leaves you guessing. I have been watching this seires from when it was a fan sub and now I own the DVDs. Its a sure hit for any Anime Otaku however the way the episodes are shown are rather strange.

I perfer the orginal broadcast versions of the episodes to the mix up order on the dubed DVDs. But worrie not they have even included the original TV version in the second and third DVDs as a bonus.

The extas that come with the Box set are top notch. Not many Anime series come with so many extras and even a CD! Dont let the price put you off from buying the box set its well worth it!

This is a BEST BUY!

In short, i bought this because the complete first season was just as expensive as buying the indvidual LEs. the art box isnt as good of quality as i was hoping (compared to lucky star art box). the bonus items were very cool though. LE contains DVD, cosplay armband, iron on, 2 sided pencil board, and a cd. its not wonderful, but its pretty good for the price.

6 bucks from warehouse deals for a brand new, sealed anime? heck yes!
You get 4 episodes and the intro song for the anime, both of which I enjoy quite a bit!
If you're a fan of the show, it should be a no brainer to buy this limited edition for only $6 before Amazon jacks the price up or runs out!

5.0 out of 5 stars This entertaining series keeps getting better
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 4, 2008

Following the events of the first volume of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, volume 2 continues the misadventures of the SOS brigade and Haruhi Suzumiya's ongoing search for anything strange and abnormal in the universe like time travellers, ESPers and aliens. In these four episodes we encounter, homicidal school students, huge destructive monsters, parallel worlds and to top it all off, a game of baseball.

This volume begins with a different style and tone to the last volume, It is quite dark and there is a fair amount of explanation and dialogue as the story is progressed. However, this is not to say it is not as good as the last volume.
The story that is brought towards us in this installment is nothing short of fascinating. I wont spoil anything, but the interesting concept along with a fair amount of imagination is amazing, and I can now see why this is such a popular series. After 3 episodes,the plot returns to a less serious and more light-hearted affair, with the SOS brigade entering a baseball tournament in order to get people to take notice of their club; with hilarious results. If you liked the episodes on the first volume, you will like this.

Kyon remains an entertaining character due to his inner commentary serving as the narrator for the story. He observes everything going on around him in a somewhat nonplussed way. It is fun to watch due to his casual attitide towards these extraordinary events. The english voice actor for Kyon; Crispin Freeman (GITS SAC, Naruto) does a good job of capturing this characters personality.
The animation continues to be totally astounding, especially when it comes to lighting effects. A particular scene on the first episode of this disc where Kyon is in a class room at around sunset, the orangey glow shining through the window, reflected in the character's eyes is absoluteley mesmerising and beautiful and an image I wont forget for a long time.
Once again, Beez entertainment were quite generous with the DVD extras as there are two making of featurettes, 3 of the ASOS brigade bonus material shorts, Textless opening and closing themes, TV Previews, and some other Beez trailers.

This volume is just as good if not better than the first. There is no doubt that this series is going to keep growing in popularity in Britain. Furthermore, there is a sequel series, so be prepared to be seeing a lot more of Haruhi Suzumiya in the future. For now though, we can look forward to volumes 3 and 4 of this magnificent series. If you havent seen any of this series yet, start from the beginning on volume one, it's worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Haruhi Special Edition volume 2 GET!!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 3, 2008
Verified Purchase
I was stunned to find my Haruhi special edition volume 2 had arrive today!! Stunned and delighted!! (No one told me it dispatched....And thank you Amazon for the fast delivery!!)

I knew what bonus's came with this volume, and was excited to see what the armband was like. I, for one, am pleased, like most Haruhi fans should be. Much better quality than the ribbon in the first SE volume. The CD is again awesome, with a sweet pic of Aya Hirano on the front and 4 tracks on it to boot. Bouken Descho Desho?, Kazeyomi Ribbon, and the karaoke versions of both those songs. We have the pencil board once again and the Haruhi transfer.

Possibly the best thing with this volume, and the next 2, is the bonus DVD with the first 5 episodes in original airing order, the way its meant to be watched. The audio only comes in Japanese, but if your like might, you won't mind, cos Mikuru-chans voice is so much cuter/funnier in Japanese.

The one thing I dont quite get is why give us another pretty box? When people who have bought this probably already have the first SE volume. I spose they do need something to put the extra's in... but its just more cardboard to put somewhere and I have no clue....spose we could cut out the main pics and keep them somewhere.

Overall, fantastic 2nd volume. (I'm not saying anything about the actual episodes apart from they're fantastic, because if I explain it, I'll probly do it badly or ruin the story for you. As someone mentioned in a previous review for the 1st SE volume, you get more extra's with these DVD's than any others I've seen recently. Great value for money considering anime DVD's are usually £20ish anyway. We're lucky to get all the extra's America got, and I am eternally grateful to Beez for releasing it like this.

(On a side note, the release date for this was slightly confused I think, it was meant to be released 30th of June, but went 3-5 week wait for some reason, and other online shopping sites have it listed for release as the 7th July. So feel glad Amazon has it closer to the real release date.)
