The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Volume 2 (Limited Edition)

undefined

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. .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.
