So, I was an idiot. I forgot that kanamemo airs on a date that is completely unfeasible for us to do, so we were sitting around two nights ago trying to figure out what to do. We eventually came up with this thanks to some drops from other groups. This means that yes, we will not be doing kanamemo the upcoming season.
I would’ve loved to do it, it just airs on a date that our translators have problems with, which would make an automatic delay to Friday which
I doubt anyone wants.
Couple of notes with the release:
1. We are using Television Saitama instead of Tokyo MX because TV-S airs it in 1440×1080 instead of boxed, and hence looks better at 848×480. Kristen is a moron.
2. The source looks like crap. There will be no 720p release for this.
3. Due to number 2, I fully intend to do the DVDs.
4. No XviD.
5. We will be doing Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody, probably a little later this week.
6. Kyonko is more awesome than any of the girls in the series, so hence the screenshot is of kyonko instead of asahina or yuki.

Dood!!!!!!!!! /thumbs up
This is turning out too be an awesome day, Thx guys
*sniff* I’ve been waiting so long for this moment. T^T
ALL HAIL CHIHIRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you guys just made my day today.
i sincerely thank you guys~~
Well I don’t think that subbing this is a good idea. It’s a great anime but afk is subbing this season (they did sub the first season), so there is no need to sub this.
If afk subbed in h.264, I’d agree with you. But they use divx crap.
Yay! something to watch while waiting on the latest asura cryin’ :p
I don’t mind delay if it’s the only way to get it. I hope someone will do Kanamemo.
As for Haruhi, I believe there won’t be any shortage of groups who will do this show… Having said that, I do like that Chihiro pick this up… at least this (almost) guarantee that Haruhi will be subbed in a timely manner.. 🙂
And about Kanamemo…
I think you guys should wait a couple of weeks when Kanamemo airs and see whether someone pick this up… if not then I hope you guys can still consider to sub this show (assuming that the show is good).
Thanks for subbing Haruhi
finally, subbed by people i trust. thanks for picking this up!
NICE
Kanamemo would be nice. Wait is nothing. Just ask Precure fans.
Sweet, it’s finally out
It’s something that crossed my mind, but is Kyonko a guy or a girl?
You just broke my heart by saying that there will be no Xvid 🙁
aww you spoiled one of the clues with the text about the O-bon festival
question: is there an anime, OAV or a manga with kyonko?
WHo the hell is this Kyonko?
So tis is the 1st ep?
Kyonko is kyon as a female. It is a fanbased creation, so it would only be found in doujin circles.
Xargin, it is the 12th episode chronologically, the 2nd episode of the new season, and the first we subbed.
Kyonko is from The Genderbending of Haruhi Suzumiya where the cast have their genders switched

@Raso. I don’t think it’s much of a spoiler (I have no idea what you mean by “clues”), plus it avoids the confusion caused by the first line.
I totally agree with Kristen about Kyonko ^_^
I’ve awaited too long for this …. Go Chihiro …. I believed your subs will be the best (well, I always thought like that so ..) … I just hope you will not drop in this … to the end …
its a huge hint to the whole endless eight story
the fact that it tells you “the obon festival that was over in the intro yet they are preparing to go to the fest” is a huge hint to the mind screw thats coming up in the next ep
the anime has gone to great lengths to put very very subtle clues in the ep (4 by my count) just pointing an arrow at one will lose its effect with the next ep’s reveal.
well spoiler tags didnt work there ><
Well, I was just referring to the intro sentence, which Kyon says and I specifically pointed to, and with how they go to Obon later on in the ep. I’m thinking that most won’t even know what you’re talking about, which I don’t either >_>
I have a question:
What’s the difference between this and bamboo rhapsody, and why is it episode 2 instead of 1?
I’m REALLY confused on haruhi shows right now, so I need some help.
Because this is the 2nd ep of the season. If you actually read the entire post, you’ll see that we’re going to go back and do ep 1 (Bamboo Rhapsody) since we started late >_>
Well, 2nd new ep, to be exact.
@Nazo you the translator?
anyway I am so tempted to fully explain what i mean but it would be massive spoilers for the next ep its probably better I dont.
shutting up now
Saitama Saitama F-O-E
Thx for subbing this! 😀
Nazo, HUSH! I say HUSH! Ix-nay on the oilersp-ay! Not everyone read the novels!
I do however note that KyoAni’s marvellous and well-placed attention to detail hasn’t faltered since S1 (but I think the animation quality has dropped a little). That’s all I’m saying.
*tacklehugs Chihiro* Anyway. Awesome. Liquid awesome.
Don’t worry, you don’t need to do XviD. a.f.k. definitely have you covered there (and it’s awesome they really are doing S2, because they may be encoding xvid, but they do it with magic pixie dust that makes it look very, very good for what is now such an old format!), but they only do xvid so there’s no danger of overlap.
See, the wonderful thing about this is, I have a.f.k. for oldschool AVI, and Chihiro for newschool MKV. Shame the source is a bit patchy, but that’s what Blu-Ray is for, in time. <3 Thank you so much!
As far as I can see, most of the others were special team-ups (Coalguys and GG? Dattebayo and Live-Evil?) that haven’t really lasted much beyond the first new ep.
For the interested, [Yuki] is releasing both seasons in air sequence as well, and from what I’ve seen, with very great care, albeit not quickly (a worthy successor, imho, to Hitsuji’s legendarily experimental MKV monster release that paved the way to ordered chapter support; Sushi’s release is broadly OK, but gets the OP/ED framerate wrong).
The OP and ED on S2 are awful compared to the old ones, but really, how _do_ you follow Hare Hare Yukai? It’s the Minami-ke Okawari effect. You can’t, so you do something different and it doesn’t quite work. I therefore predict, like Minami-ke Okaeri, that if they ever get around to an S3, that the OP and ED will seem very… familiar. 🙂
I for one like the OP’s animations is just not the best song the end is very good on both accounts imo
@Myoukochou: All I know about Haruhi is what I saw from the original season. I never read any of the novels or anything. So I can’t spoil anything I don’t know.
@Raso: I’m not the translator either, but I did work on it and added in the note for the sake of the watchers that don’t know of that fact about Obon and to sort out any confusion from the intro sentence of the ep. That’s all I meant from it. If it happens to be an inadvertent spoiler, then I apologize, but I did not intend any spoiler from it.
it would of been better to have the translator note when O-bon was first said at the start of the ep but since the game and Kyon’s internal monologue was going on at the same time I supose there wasn’t room.
You… Youu…! I love you! <3
If her surname is kyonko,then what have they turned the last name in to?
Kyon and Kyonko both have never said their real name Kyon is a nickname spread by his sister (same would be for Kyonko her little brother)
way lampshaded in book 9
I don’t know why but some one uploaded this onto AniDB as episode 2 rather than 12 so if you change the names when you add a file to your AniDB profile it will change this to “The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya part 2” instead of “Endless Eight” just thought you might want to know. Anyway thanks a ton for this episode. And thanks for the info on Kyonko I’ve been trying to figure out where she comes from for like a week but could only ever find pics of her (not that I’m complaining lol).
Ahhhhhh what about the episode 1 that others group subbed before ? Is this the same episode ?
New computer =d internet surfing is bad when you see something new.
Thanks to this I’ll spare the wall of text = ) Completely satisfied.
great… now im just going to chihiro again… 😀
keep it up guys…
Thank you! You == win, I love your subs.
And I agree, Kyonko (and Kyon) is far cuter than the others.
I’m vaguely surprised that none of the bigger names are fighting for this. At the same time, I’m not really surprised.
Mkv Rocks
WE LOVE YOU CHIHIRO SUBS!!!!
wow great..but i just hate the way the episodes are going on..makes me confused. mind showing how the episode list goes? 😀
This anime sucks. Because Kyonko isn’t a real character there. That really sucks
Awesome to see this on Chihiro. I’ll definitely be collecting this one, just as soon as I figure out which episode is which and what (since I shockingly haven’t seen the original series of Haruhi yet). Anyone who’s seen the series perhaps have a simple explanation for me? Will watching this particular episode spoil anything, or is it a good place to start watching?
My Good ness!.. another reason to love Chihiro + Kristen. wooo!
for does wondering if kyonko is male or whatnot. Kyonko is a fans interpretation how Kyon would be like if he were a girl 😛 personally i prefer Kyonko version 😀
awesome, thanks a ton for picking up this series.
