Holy penis what a scoop!

This is sexual discrimination.

except haruhi is targetted towards guys, way to fucking fail

oh fuck no!

So my little sister will read Haruhi?
This will be weird.

How the fuck girls are supposed to be able to relate to Kyon's narrative is what I don't get.

ho ho ho

>>15744026
I shudder at the comments if they are successful:
"Haruhi is sooo kawaii. Kyon x Itsuki is my OTP. Will you join my dan?"

It's official, watching Haruhi makes you gay.
Welcome to /a/ everyone.
by the way, how much you wanna bet they add a 4chan reference or two?

>>15744026
It is?

Very soon, those yellow hairbands will become a fashion icon with their teen idol wearing them on MTV or Disney Channel! Oh yeah!!!!

>>15744094
yeah, it's a Shonnen

So, what's going to happen if you see a girl wearing Haruhi hair ribbons in public?

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

They already do.

Haruhi is already mainstream, people. Nothing new.

>>15744120 So, what's going to happen if you see a girl wearing Haruhi hair ribbons in public?
Ask them about their thoughts on the postmodern structure of the first season.
And then fuck them.

>>15744120
I actually have seen fucking weeaboo girls with them

>tween

...When was this term invented and why do I feel an urge to bash my head against the wall? Whatever happened to "pre-teen"?

>>15744107
You know this will never happen. But it would be horrible.

tween is between pre-teen and teen

Welcome to the world of the evolving english language.

well im a girl and i think this is pretty cool.

>>15744120

Typically speaking the really "boys" shonen are the fightan ones like Naruto and Bleach.

Also keep in mind that in Japan it basically needs to be pink and have fucking kitchen instructions inside for it to be considered Shojo.

>The initial print run for the novel will be 60,000 copies, about 10,000 for the hardcover and 50,000 for the paperback
Only 10,000 for the fat, sweaty weeaboos to grab.

FUCK FUCK FUCK

OH CHRIST WE HAVE TO STOP THIS.

>>15744120
Seinen, actually.

>>15744197
How can you be between pre-teen and teen? Is there some sort of teenage purgatory you spend time in before moving on to full teenagerhood?

>>15744244
It's debatable.
I know the manga and anime are considered Shonnen by their ambiguous standards

the show is basically about kyons harem, how many girls actually like haruhi

>>15744242

What "stop"? It's already started.

>>15744267
can't fit between the aisles

you guys have never heard of tweens before? shit is so old.

>>15744301
I like you anonymous

I may actually buy this just to see the translation myself.

Though I can't WAIT for the underage b& comments.

"The anime came first right? So it's a book based off an anime?"

>>15744160


first time i saw that ad, i was like "wtf, wut?"

>>15744306

Clever marketing is clever.

>>15744284
Manga? Yes. Novels, no. They're two completely (and I mean completely) different stories, and we're specifically discussing novels here.

Anime (this is important, learn this finally, faggots) has no standard demographic divisions, and therefore cannot be considered as one or another.

>>15744258
Please be trolling.

So what will the regular covers be? Random objects or will they at least have the characters on it?

That's a fucking awful marketing strategy. The only people who are going to buy novels marketed towards young girls are young girls. Everyone else avoids that shit like the plague.

probably - id buy them tho, but Im a sad fucker.

>>15744487
Young girls are the only ones who still buy comics.

This is nothing compared to them calling the books "Hannah Montana meets Heroes"

'The title character is a girl, so we'll aim it at girls!'
Fuck you western publishers.

Haruhi and the like are already pretty mainstream, but this is pushing it. Anybody who has an interest in the series and novels will be buying it already. Can't you just be happy with that?

'LOL CULT SERIES, MILK IT!' Cancer killing the western media industry.

http://www.hachettebookgroupusa.com/kids_index.aspx

Here's their website, get ready to spam outraged emails.

if haruhi gets more popular than it is, I'm going to have to pretend that I don't like it anymore

Dear God help us

>>15744530
Those guys will publish Haruhi? Those? Dear lord.

>>15744539
"Haruhi? Never heard of it. Some girls book and Japanese cartoon, I'll know to avoid it now."
Repeat and learn these words.

>>15744564

>Halloween by Jerry Seinfeld
What's the deal with jack-o-lanterns? They're not jack, and they're not really lanterns.

>>15744530
It's over

Haruhi is finished

>>15744586
So the first time you hear the concept of Halloween when you're a kid, your brain can't even understand it. "What is this? What did you say? Someone's giving out candy? Who's giving out candy? EVERYONE WE KNOW is giving out candy? I gotta be a part of this!"

In his first picture book, comedian and bestselling author Jerry Seinfeld captures on the page his hilarious views on Halloween, from Superman costumes that look like pajamas to the agony of getting bad trick-or-treat candy. Seinfeld's tale resonates with vivid experiences of a night every kid loves.

Both kids and adults will eat up Jerry's distinct and unwritten rules of Halloween. Hamilton King award-winning illustrator, James Bennett's outlandish illustrations perfectly depict these unique observations, reminding us why Jerry Seinfeld is still the funniest man alive.

Do you guys really fucking think girls will pick these up and read it despite knowing after the first damn book that it's basically science fiction novels that are NOT HARRY POTTER?

No. I don't expect the novels to go anywhere, because for the last 10 years, people reading shit has dropped by about 90%. No one reads anymore.

>With the release of the novels, however, Hassler thinks Haruhi can break into the mainstream. “There is a really broad fan appeal that can reach farther into the market than just otaku culture,” he said. “We want to make Haruhi a household word for everyone.”
>“We want to make Haruhi a household word for everyone.”
ANIME/MANGA CULTURE DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY AND WE'RE HAPPY IT'S LIKE THAT

>>15744581
So any hope of a decent translation is out the window, right?

>>15744627
Wonder how they deal with Kyon lusting after Asahina. Can't wait.

This is an inconceivable catastrophe. I'm...very depressed about all this.

>>15744624
so "Ignorance Is Bliss" will help me still be able to continue enjoying the series?

are they really so fucking stupid to try to market something towards the OPPOSITE gender which it was originally written for?

>>15744147 Whatever happened to "pre-teen"

Two syllables is too much effort.

And why exactly is this a bad thing?

If it gets more people into animu/mango then I don't see anything wrong with it.

You guys can keep BAAWWWING about how Haruhi became mainstream and now you don't like it anymore, and I'll continue to enjoy it the same as always, because I don't give a shit about its popularity.

Backup the Fantranslations before they get deleted due to inferior release aimed at tween girls

>>15744679
Enjoy your borked translation. Marketing to a younger demographic means dumbing down the language and shit like Kyon's obscure science metaphors are gonna get cut out.

>>15744679

anon haets new people watching anime, because they never learn that we can't fucking stand listening to them.

BAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW

LOL

Haruhi is way too DEEP for pre-teen girls.

>>15744712
Replace Freud with "Random Disney Channel Character" and you'll be right.

I wonder if a jump from this height will kill me...

onoez haruhi is popular now, must stop liking it

I do not approve this...

>>15743978
I'm calling it, anime is over.

no one should be allowed to watch any anime aside from DBZ and Pokemon until they're 14. Then they have earn their way through watching good stuff, old and new.

Facepalm, from the site:

Wabi Sabi, a little cat in Kyoto, Japan, had never thought much about her name until friends visiting from another land asked her owner what it meant. This sets her on a journey where she discovers wabi sabi is a Japanese philosophy of seeing beauty in simplicity, the ordinary, and imperfection.

>>15744743
Duh, faggot.

>>15744518
>Anybody who has an interest in the series and novels will be buying it already.

If anyone with an interest is already going to be buying it, why does it make the tiniest bit of difference who else they decide to market it to? Does it really matter to you that much that some 12 year old girls might be reading the same book as you? I mean for fucks sake, if this gets them into something like Haruhi it might actually lead them onto watching the series, and perhaps trying out some other good anime instead of just becoming a bunch of Narutards.

>MySpace and Facebook

Find anything wrong with laughing at stupid people? What the hell are you doing on 4chan, then?

ITT
>Remember when Haruhi Suzumiya was good?
>Haruhi Suzumiya was never good.

So, people are going to buy Haruhi as they buy Harry Potter, Tunnels and the sort? ...Quite fitting (even though I just don't know what are they gonna do with Kyon's trivia knowledge. Too complicated.)

>>15744518
Standard business practice. The size of the anime and manga market is already limited. There's nothing wrong with marketing to as many people as possible to maximise profit. You're effectively saying that the publisher should just accept the existing small market and not try everything in their power to sell THEIR product, which is absurd. Imagine telling Nintendo, for example, not to market the Wii, because it is already mainstream.

>>15744779
I don't think you understand how stupid 12 year old girls are.

Hey guys I just got an idea!

How about we stream it at gaia guys? =^_^=

There mind will be blown just by the concept of a Data Integration Thought Entity.
How the hell is an avarage 12-year old going to be able to grasp the complex story, and Kyons references?
Spare me if they succeed in marketing something to tween girls just because it has cute art.
And even if some girl at that age should buy and enjoy it, wouldn't it just be just another book for them. Do they really think those people will wait 3 months and than buy another one. In 3 months, it will be all forgotten.

>>15744809
repeat that in /v/ and see what happens

>>15744697

The current translation is all over the place. A bad commercial release will just spread it further.

Jesus Christ I'm raging so hard right now

>>15744712

this shit will never work.

they are marketing it to the entirely wrong age group and gender. hopefully these faggots will become bankrupt over this shit and that'll teach a lesson to all the other faggots trying to popularize my animu.

>>15744819

someone! make a thread at the gaia forums about this! ^^

Told you idiots this show was shit. Now who's laughing!

THEY ARE DOING IT WRONG

>>15744809
WHY ARE YOU TAKING THE SIDE OF THE PUBLISHERS? Seriously, do you feel bad for them if their dumb marketing move backfires? You're supposed to fight for YOU, the CONSUMER. Fight for your right not to get a shitty, censored, dumbed-down translation aimed at one of them most innappropriate demographics for the series.

>>15744890
Anonymous is laughing. As always.

AMERICAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

its not gonna work

why was dragonball z and naruto so damn popular? because of who it was aimed at. just stop trolling yourself into thinking it will go through sucessfuly

FUCK YEAH!

>>15744908
You don't have a right to say what publishers aim their product at. If you don't like it, don't buy it.

>You're effectively saying that the publisher should just accept the existing small market and not try everything in their power to sell THEIR product,
Exactly, follow conventions. All the current manga and anime licensers are settling for that, why should this shitty publisher be any different?

>>15744973
But we DO want it. We want a professional translation, printed with a slick cover at an affordable price. What we don't want is a translation that has been edited and destroyed to make it appropriate for teenage (whoops, I mean TWEENAGE) girls.

>>15744998

except video games were already mainstream and popular, they are marketing towards that group of people. 12 year old girls don't fucking read novels written for 17-25year old guys.

>>15745056
This bitch is correct.

>>15745056
no you're not, fuck off troll

Tween girls are going to LOVE Haruhi molesting Mikuru, and all the MOE stuff. Yup.

>>15745034
There has been no indication that the translation will be dumbed down or changed.

You have to keep in mind that a 14 year old American girl reads at the same level as a 24 year old Japanese man. Japanese popular literature is puerile, simple garbage.

>>15744908
Where do you see it's going to be dumbed-down? The publisher is simply marketing to a younger girl audience IN ADDITION TO a general young adult audience. I see nothing wrong here.

And I'm not taking the side of the publishers. It just strikes me as strange that people are making a big deal over nothing. "Oh my god! 12 year old girls reading Haruhi! Oh no! My favourite anime is ruined!" - which is funny considering the number of Youtube videos you'll find of 12-13 year old girls doing Hare Hare Yukai (or whatever it's called).

>>15744992
Ugh. Not the point, I'm sure you know, but you just made me cringe from that possibility. Congrats.

That's not what I meant. Of course anyone can say what they want about it, but they can't control it, and control is what that poster was desiring.

Ïn 10 years, it will be popular for American girls to act and dress in a ¨moe-moe¨ manner.

First of all, I think American girls would probably identify and emulate harsh tsun-tsun more than moe-moe. Sure, I'm a bitter virgin, but I can still see trends.

Also, THEY WILL STILL BE PIG DISGUSTING 3D.

everyone needs to stop posting now

shit is getting nowhere

YES!

Big fail, that means that it wont be stupidized by idiots.
I have seen what those monsters can do, and if they turn Haruhi into another Naruto I would have to hate it too.

Oh god, teen girls, that could end even worse, they are the worst shit of society.

The sole publishers in this situation are not Yen Press. Yen Press are great, I have Hidamari Sketch thanks to them.

Little, Brown Books for Young Readers are the actual publishers. And from I've seen on their site, they're shit. However, that shit is usually retained to trashy novels for teens.

I was looking forward to the light novels being licensed, but fuck this.

>>15745377

>>15745170
>Ïn 10 years,

Get ready for 300 Pound (140~ Kilo) Haruhis

they're targeting it towards middle school+under girls because they're the only ones stupid enough not to pick up on/be offended by the character's obvious behavior patterns.

also because they know american men are not good targets for anything that could possibly be perceived as a "cute romance story," or even just "romance," if they're actually trying to make it mainstream.

not that i dont agree they are completely going in the wrong direction and ruining the material for any audience but their target audience(that's the effect of aiming it at preteen girls). give it some different cover art, word the summaries well, and maybe they'd have a chance with the audience it was actually directed at(young teen men-young adult men).

If /a/ is serious about it, you know the deal. Black suit, Guy Fawkes masks, DDoS, etc.

I mean, I hate /b/ and all; but it gets things done if you really mean it.

It's not that bad, but I've waited ages for a license; why should I have to receive a dumbed-down, bastardised one?

>>15745513 being a retard gets things done
No it doesn't. You're an idiot.

Guys, guys, think of all the girls who will grow up reading Haruhi. It's one of the geekiest stories on the market even by Japanese standards. All they'll be doing is multiplying our own breed, seriously.

>>15745506
>also because they know american men are not good targets for anything that could possibly be perceived as a "cute romance story," or even just "romance," if they're actually trying to make it mainstream.
The question here is, why bother to try and mainstream it at all?

Yes, I know; company wants profits and all that jazz.

But manga/anime publishers don't pull that shit. Gurren Lagann is (arguably) one of the most recognised hit in the last few years but aside from a dub, they didn't try and force it onto an audience that usually doesn't watch it.

Same for Lucky Star. An odd license considering the audience, but it was a hit. It got dubbed, it's being released; no big fanfare or attempts at attracting people who have no interest in it.

Haruhi has been around since 2006. The novels, since 2003. Subbed, dubbed, released, new series soon. Why the fuck would you pull this shit now?

I pay for good translations, so they'd better fucking keep up on that part.

>Yes, I know; company wants profits and all that jazz.

You probably already know, but you answered your own question.

Maybe also because they think that in order to make something truly mainstream you have to target younger audiences first so that when they get older they might come back to it. That doesn't work here with what Americans consider to be cartoons, however, and I doubt they're planning that far ahead anyways considering they're just a small-time publishing company(right?).

I'm pretty sure they're just looking for an audience to which it will appeal to most considering American culture.

>Monti isn’t concerned that readers unfamiliar with manga conventions will be thrown off by references to Japanese culture, so there will be no translation notes to explain things like school uniforms or the term “moe.”

No translation notes? They'll "pick it up in context"? Americans are dumb as bricks. They need everything explained very simply to them.

>>15745768
Agreed

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I like this idea.

Because I like to see /a/ rage.

Also, /a/ should be happy, now we'll be able to bond with 12-year-old girls over something.

>>15745839
Why would you explain school uniforms? Are Americans really that stupid?

>>15745880
Yes.

>>15745835
Unless they fuck with the translation, which is why we are bitching, it's not going to make any money off little girls, and so it won't make any money. And then the other novels won't be released.
Whereas had they stuck with the intended target audience in the first place it'd have turned a modest profit and it would've been fine.
If they want to get rich off of little girls, sell them Hannah Montana dildos.

>>15745847
It's that time again

>>15745839
>no translation notes

...why is everyone raging, again? Seems they're saner than many manga companies.

Yen Press is the other company that helped them gain this license. They don't make any effort to mainstream shit with the exception of their monthly manga magazine.

Little Brown Books is suffering from a severe case of USI and this entire endevour will be a failure in gaining a new target audience.

If they fuck up/bastardise/dumb down the translations, then they'll also lose a chunk of their core audience. Those idiotic dub-fags who buy anything will of course eat this shit up though, so they'll still gain a large revenue from those 'HARUHI IS SO KAWAII DESU~!!!! XD' types.

>“We want to make Haruhi a household word for everyone.”

>>15745899
I love the you, so much. Try visiting the country some time instead of just sitting on your fat ass laughing at the Texas sample being ridiculed on your shitty hyper-nationalistic talk show. Also protip: your country has just as many dipshits as the next.

>>15745957
ok fine,
Kyon help us

>>15745877
Too good to actually happen, daydreamer.

This is just the beginning. After Haruhi became the new trend, the next thing will be the Key Moeblob shit. They will even air edited version on television. Every time there is a joke, you hear the audience (that isn't even existing) laugh, just like in real shitty American comedy.

They're over ambitious. It will blow up in their face. Their project will lose stability for future releases.

But I don't give a shit because all i fucking want is my second season and 10th Volume, jesus christ.

just wait until they adapt the "tween" version for television
Live action television.

Here's the real question:

If these people were to sub One Outs, would /a/ watch it?

>>15745983
The majority of /a/ denizens are teenage idiots.

>>15746124
They are publishing books.

>>15746124
If you mean publish a translated teleplay, then probably

Next up, Catholic publishing for teens picks up Maria sama ga Miteru. It's more likely than you think.

>>“We want to make Haruhi a household word for everyone.”

>>15746198
THEY'RE JUST CLOSE FRIENDS

>>15746345

They're cousins, too!

SO ITS OKAY
