The American launch of the series, originally planned for 2001, was delayed for several years because Sousuke was from Afghanistan; With potential American sensitivities in mind, the premier was originally canceled outright, then finally put forth, but only after changing Sousuke’s homeland to the fictitious nation of Helmajistan.

and i think it would be better if the targeted age group was 15+ (18+ and it'd sound shady.) i led a few high school brats i know to BT because they said they were interested, only to find out that not only did they not have a minimum working knowledge of psychology and philosophy, but they hardly knew anything about jap culture.. (consequently, they weren't converted into haruhiists..)

I'm fifteen, and the first time I saw this anime I fell in love. Self-confessed Haruhiist now. I like to think I understand SHnY pretty well and that I have a working knowledge of Japanese culture (If only from other anime), psychology and philosophy. Don't judge all of us teenagers based on a few slightly dim brats.
Oh, and don't assume I'm a complete nub just due to my post-count. I lurk here a fair bit.

Anyway, a post on-topic:

Lucky Star OVA is still due next month. I don't see why they wouldn't make a second season! LS is still popular, they have plenty of material and it'd make them a ton of money.

(i.e. hurrying up on v10 and SHnY 2nd season, FMP 3rd (4th, 5th..) season, Clannad after story..)

oh, and OneofFive, those were TYPICAL high school brats from my part of the world. so I'd assume that since you bother with forums, that you are an atypical 15yr old..

Isn't there only the second half of their last school year left of material?

They do still have the first year they didn't animate, but...
