According to ANN, the first eight episodes of the recent renewed airing of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya have officially been posted on Youtube by Kadokawa Pictures. And yes, that eighth episode is the brand new one. The only catch seems to be that the episodes will be taken down on July 5th, so you only have until the end of the week if you want to catch them. Still, if you're interested, or even if you haven't seen the series yet and want to watch the first few episodes, this is probably the best way to do it yet without spending money or resorting to fansubs.
Man, I feel like I only ever come on here to talk about Haruhi anymore. I have caught up on the FMA: Brotherhood streams up to episode 10, so at least I should be able to post in the most up to date threads for those in fairly short order.

FMA: Brotherhood Returns
I'll admit, I had begun to worry a bit. FUNi hadn't said a thing about what they were going to do for Brotherhood. Would they continue with one episode a week and just continue being two weeks behind schedule? Or would they upload the backlog they had and get back up to speed?
Thankfully, they went with the latter.
Episodes 10, 11, and 12 are up. Marathon time!

Book Review: The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya light novel
Well, I just finished reading the recently released English version of the first Haruhi Suzumiya light novel that I borrowed from my sister. Haruhi has been one of my favorite anime series from the past few years, so of course when I heard they would be releasing these original books stateside, I was interested. That said, this book covers familiar ground, namely the first six chronological episodes of the anime. That means I can't say it was that much more interesting from the series, but that's not necessarily a bad thing since the series was plenty interesting to begin with. The printed format also gives you more of Kyon's internal monologue, which is so much fun to read, and some of the more complicated parts of the anime's plot are a little easier to understand, particularly the technobabble-laden parts of the dialogue.
If you saw and enjoyed the anime, you'll probably also enjoy this light novel since it's easy to read and provides a little more insight to familiar events from the series. And even if you haven't picked up the anime yet, this seems to be a good, cost effective way of getting into the franchise as a whole. The novels were the original source material after all, not the anime, so it's not like anything in this book will fly over the head of anyone not familiar with the series. The next book in the series comes out in October, so I'll be picking that one up as well. Should be more than enough while we're waiting for them to create and license a proper second season of the anime.
