The 3D version of Hare Hare Yukai that comes with the Haruhi PS2 game (out now) as a pre-order special.
The game companies are giving away more and more goodies to get people to reserve their games early. I got my Devil May Cry 4 yesterday which came with a DVD full of goodies - interviews with the directors/trailers/making etc - just like this Hare Hare Yukai video, I'm sure it wil be uploaded to YouTube soon.
Thanks to Edward for sending this in.

Lol Itsuki looks totally wierd wearing the cleric clothes in this dance. Especially at the last part where he looked like he was having fits in his garments.

wow the 3D version does give a fresh perspective to the hare hare yukai dance.

dunno if its just me, i think Mikuru looks cuter and Itsuki's custome is cool. But kinda prefer Haruhi in gakuseifuku.

you know, there is no place on the web (or at least places I looked at) where there is a decent pic of Chouyuusha Haruhi...

Other than that, the vid looks weird...  And kyon looks so, normal...

The cast of Haruhi in RPG-style clothes. ^^
Is it me or the "bounce factor" is higher than in the original? ^^;;

I agree, low "bounce factor" in this video.  Maybe you have just created a new criteria for judging videos on Danny's site D_Blade.  So it will go..."I like it but I will give it a 3.  It has no "bounce factor"." ^^;

I mean, I loved the series and Haruhi is great and all, but the game looks boring as hell. You've got to be a super fan to enjoy this game. It's all talking, no game play really. More like reading a book, or rather voice actors reading a book to you. My be a good story, so that makes it worth playing.

I'm not sure if you know this...but Haruhi started out as a light novel.
As in, a book of words. Six illustrations or less.

If anything, it's going back to its roots.

3d version sure gives a different feel to it, that would explain the "bounce" factor I guess. Lol @ kyon's armor

Wasn't that all on that DMC4 special DVD though? Making of DMC4 (clips of mo-cap, director interview), 3 trailers... 

I found it a bit disappointing (that, and the store's out of 40GB PS3s because apparently the half of Kuala Lumpur decided to get one with DMC4 on the same day).

Back on topic. Limited Edition HHY? Haven't the Japanese heard of the Internets? >_

i do hope they keep the original voices, animes of all sorts tend 2 lose its appeal on me when it gets dubbed into any other language then the original, japanese.

I heard some negative reviews about the Haruhi PS2 game, like it's not fully-voiced and they used same OP/ED clip from the anime series.  But given the huge popularity of the series, I'm sure it will have a healthy sales.

Wow - thats amazing! Ive seen so many badly animated 3d fan videos of the haruhi dance. This one has the movement and likeness absoloutley spot on!

Too bad theyre wearing those crummy fantasy RPG clothes though - id much prefer a straight 3d replication of the usual intro.

This dance animation is done by mo-cap (motion capture)right? 

Someone please tell me its not by keyframe animation. Coz it will be awesome if that dance is key-framed. If its key-framed, the smoothness of the animation is just made of win~~

Hm..it's a mixture, I would say..

but, my bet is keyframe. Mocap would produce a much smoother animation..The quality i'm seeing now is something like keyframed. 

3d animators are getting more and more pro..T_T

That is some very smooth 3d animation, which makes it very good. Even the cloth simulation ;p.
And exactly the same as the original ^^; Very well done, and they look cool in these other outfits. I'd really like a high quality rip of this :) (since it's just an extra with pre-release)
