The Chinese Olympic Haruhi is slowly gaining much popularity in Japan - shes now known as "Suzumiya Harubin" [涼宮ハルビン] - "Harubin" being the Japanese pronunciation for the 10th largest city in China - Harbin. Search results for Suzumiya Haruhin (in Japanese) for folks who want more info. Wallpaper from Neta.
Hmmm, i wonder if this isnt against some copyright law or the organisors actually pay for the rights..
lol? Didn't expect THIS to happen ^^;
PRAISE HARUHI! This is extremely cool :D
Lol, if only the actual one was drawn that well, I could appreciate this. Otherwise, it seems kind of insulting.
Is this legal?
I believe it is legal...i mean there is even Suzumiya HAHIRU for cosplay Adult video in Japan long time ago and i never hear a thing about it... same AV goes to Fate...
It shouldn't be legal... but it seems not much of a problem in China. You know, the land of iPhone rip-offs and fake consoles. XD Not that I have a personal problem with those though...
i expected it would come to this lulz it is like what happened to the Sader figure XDDD
this one looks better drawn that the last one. ^^,
LOL, she went for some lipo and botoxed her face...
Tracing paper? Yeah gordon, I agree with you... The only recurrent prob' is the mouth, but otherwise it is a great improvement compared to the one we saw last time.
LOL!!!! @ lostandfound
Based on your comments alone, you guys don't seem to know that this was based on an image of the REAL Haruhi. http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n2/sirreginald/Haruhi07.jpg Can't remember where I got the original picture from, so I had to upload it into my (shared) photobucket account. ^^;
i already spot the photoshop from the 1st sight nobody can draw eyes not "eyes" as good as noizi ito for now. stop using this as your mascot, olympic a-hole's...
thanks Chong Mizunaga for the enlightenment. i didn't knew that it was copied from an original drawing. ^^,
Heh, Chong, looks like my bad hunch was proven true after all.
Damn, talk about lack of creativity.
wander if japanese athletes will boycott the olympics because of this...
...and the atrocities continue. /sigh
I really don't know what to say now. I'm stumped. Stoned. I- ah, forget it.
I bet this is just sarcasm ^^
This reminds me of the Death Saber figure that came out long time ago... Harubin eh...?
This is typical China. Botleg Haruhi but renamed Harubin...
哈鲁滨? ('~')
It was Japanese otaku that gave the name Suzumiya Harubin. I'm sure she will become to be more popular like the Chuka Cannon robot.
I wonder if Kyoto Animation will make a parody on this Harubin in their next anime - would be good if they do me thinks.
fan fic: haruhi: oy, kyon, doesn't this olympic mascot kinda resemble me? (please translate it to japanese)
fan fic to lucky star 2nd season (if there is) *konata open some forum and website found this parody and read our flame's* *kagami visiting next day* kagami: oi konata, i'm returning your game i brought ago *sitting in the room, reading random light novel* kagami: lately, did u hear those food poisoning? konata: yeah, i heard those product came from china kagami: japanese and china are being merged lately, i heard some japanese company already make their factory in china, and import those back to japan konata: an lately, my most anticipated anime character, su****** har*** is used for mascot, and the draw it.... badly konata: urusenai!!, 1st they said we otaku are childish, now they use it for mascot, now who's childish? kagami: oi.... i'm missing here -o-J...
Pyramid_Head, I seriously feel that you didn't need to go for second season... I can't tell why, but this is how I feel.
Since I can't actually read much Japanese, what's the general consensus amongst Japanese? Do they feel angry that it's a rip-off? Or do they accept it as a point of pride (or even, dare I say it? "Harubism")... hmmm
lols! what the heck is that?
yay china, they did it again.
