It's just a little update...
Rob Kelk
almost two years so it's worth a posting.
Yes, I've updated "Ah! Megane-sama".
(And they're selling ice skates in HFIL.)
Who made the cut this time? Did Rob apologize sufficiently for taking
so long to update the gallery? And what about the "Dennou Coil"
question? You'll just have to go look for yourself...

Are you still needing images for Those Who Hunt Elves?
Now that my hard drive is fixed, I can do screen caps on my home
computer (can't afford internet access on my own, borrowing someone's
right now) and have both seasons on DVD. Didn't know if you've got
them and just didn't include them in the update...

I have images for the judge, but (I think) I still need images for
Lilia.

There are "dozens of other meganekko" in the queue, so it's a fair
question...
As for the most-frequently-asked question about who is in the queue:
Yes, Yuki Nagato is going to be listed as a part-timer.

After reading these posts, I thought about how I would describe the
series to someone in three sentences, but I can't seem to come up with
anything that isn't loaded with spoilers. This is a tough one indeed.

How bout this?
<Primer>
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - Kyon is your everyday high school
student. He goes to school, hangs out with his friends, and his only
real interests were girls and grades, till Haruhi Suzumiya arrived.
Best described as a Force-of-nature, Haruhi turns Kyon's life
completely upside down when she makes it clear that her only real
interests in life are aliens, time-travelers, and espers. (And
Kyon!) Kyon soon finds himself dragooned into Haruhi's crazy SOS
Brigade along with a clumsy, busty, and frequently abused second year
cutie Mikuru, the deadpan literature club president Yuki, and a self-
proclaimed "Mysterious Transfer Student" Itsuki.
Now Kyon's once peaceful days are spent doing his best to keep a lid
on alien-obsessed Haruhi for whom the most alien of concepts are
restraint, modesty, and shame! Will Haruhi manage to find her aliens,
time travelers, and espers? Will Kyon manage to hold on to his
sanity? Will the world end? Find out in this scifi/romance/slice-of-
life/mystery/drama/satire/parody/comedy.
"The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" consists of a single 13 episode
season, available in R1 from Bandai Entertainment.

Will that do?

I was about to say....
Other than no mention of frequent rumors and/or conflicting information
about a second series, and maybe a question re 'What is Haruhism?', good job
Rob Kelk
Until the mythical second season comes out...
Thanks!
Abraham Evangelista
It's not finalized, so I didn't mention it.
>and maybe a question re 'What is Haruhism?', good job
Haruhiism is a construct of fandom, not necessarily a feature of the
show itself, so I didn't mention it. :-)

And since I had a bit of time today, I started work on the next update.
This time, everybody gets to see my working notes:

(Maybe this'll stem the tide of emails asking "Where's Yuki?")

"Yuki stops wearing her glasses after ..." after Kyon says she looks good
without them.
They were merely part of her 'I am just a nerdish bookworm not worth paying
any attention to, so I can stay close to Haruhi and observe her' disguise.

I believe she is hetero. She first liked Hazumu (boy) but, she gave up with
Tomari and Yasuna already competeing for him/her. She quasi-proposes to
Asuta in the volume 5 omake, and it seems she will end up with Alien-san.

Well, yes, but that's a spoiler.

The first sentence is trivial as a spoiler. The second sentence is just
reminder background and not for submission.
Even though MHS has a titular female star, it quickly became "Kyon's Harem"
with one of the girls a bit more troublesome than usual, so, revealing that
one of the girls like him is not really a spoiler but rather an expectation,
especially when the female cast members outnumber the male one(s).
