A disappointing volume 7? Really?TallGuy wrote:Thanks. I'm liking this one so far, especially after a disappointing volume 7.
Huh...
Just to check, you were reading Haruhi Suzumiya Volume 7, right? Because the volume 7 that I read transceded "disappointing" with the Tsuruya-san character development alone, and it had a pretty revealing arc plot to boot.
EDIT: (off_topic) BTW, Holy Cow, did you check out ANN's "Guess the new Geneon License" contest yet? You might find it interesting... (/off_topic)

I agree with TallGuy bro. 7 was disappointing compared to the previous volumes. Indeed it did have some good points, but it really wasn't as engaging as the predecessors like the Disappearance vol.quigonkenny wrote:A disappointing volume 7? Really?TallGuy wrote:Thanks.

To me, Intrigues was a fine read. They revealed all 3 rival factions (MQCE, SneeringBastard and the rival espers), had a small revelation about Tsuruya-san, and presented a small mystery in the end (the titanium-device thingy). IMO it pretty much sets things up for the future volumes, presenting more question than it answers.
P/S: GENEON licensing Higurashi? They better not slaughter the entire show by censoring the torture scenes, or I'll make sure they share a well with Oni-Baba...
EDIT: Something suddenly struck me. If Geneon does license Higurashi, what will they do with "USODA!!" (you liar? O.o), or worse, kana, kana? (I wonder, I wonder? >.<)

The thing that disappointed me about volume 7 was the "flow" of it. All the ideas in the story on their own were valid ideas, but they never managed to get together in a meaningful way to me.
Dissapearance had a very clear, central theme to it. I couldn't detect that in Intrigues.
I didn't hate it, but I only discovered Suzumiya Haruhi (and this site) less then two months ago and I have worked my way through all the novels at a breakneck speed (I'm a greedy reader). So the memory of Disappearance was still very fresh when I read Intrigues.

It's probably caused by the long breaks between releases. I find it the same with anime. Watching a couple of episodes straight is much more powerful than an episode a week. I think that's why I enjoyed Futakoi Alternative (which I just watched recently, in a marathon) more than Kanon (Which I'm watching every week).

umm its licensed by Kawadoka USA. Anyway I liked vol. 7, I think it sets up for future events perfectly and things will start to fall into place easier. As for the mystery about Haruhi thought it doesn't explain much. Volume 7 does explain the actions taken by the Itsuki's organization and Mikuru (Big).
