We haven't posted a Haruhi Suzumiya dance clip recently. For good reason, because we've already posted tons. Too many actually! Haruhi overload!! Because of that, the bar for Haruhi dance clips is high. Few things can effortlessly jump over that bar as Pikachu can. Quality stuff, this.

Phoney Haruhi Suzumiya On Real Russian Chocolate
How popular is anime Haruhi Suzumiya? Popular enough to get its own PSP game and Wii game. Popular enough to be ripped off for the Bejing Olympics. And now, popular enough for Russian copyright infringement. Pictured, Haruhi appears on a tasty treat. But remember kids, in Russia, Haruhi Suzumiya infringement eats YOU! Heh.

Haruhi Dances Up The Wii
Certainly! By now you must have seen the credit sequence for anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Catchy, huh? No wonder the Wii Haruhi game is going to be a dancing game. Well, not a straight up dancing game as it'll have a "Story Mode" (with dancing) and a "Free Mode" (with dancing). The game's about half done and slated for this year. Hum~ming!
And yes, Haruhi dance after the jump.

From Seiyuu To Dirty Parody Stars...
Previously, we've brought word of the risky Haruhi Suzumiya adult parody flick. But how do those stack up with the animated versions and the various manga incarnations? Or even the characters' voice actors? NOT SO GOOD. Check out these charts that show the characters' voice actors (seiyuu), various artists interpretations including the anime and ending up with the TMA dirty movie actors and actresses. Hit the jump to look at the fugly dude porn actors.More »

We've done so many Haruhi Suzumiya, that we've become jaded. From inmates to global nerds, we've seen it all! Well, almost. Here a motley crew of cosplayers brave the snow and ice of Gunma Prefecture for some Haruhi. The dancing isn't great. Hell, it's not even good. But, it is in the freezing cold, and that alone is worth something. What exactly, no clue.

Life-Size Haruhi Suzumiya Has "Moveable Groin"
Ack! Freaky giant doll alert. March 1st (tomorrow!) pre-orders start for this huge, freaky-assed life-sized Haruhi Suzumiya figurine in Japan. According to the maker, the five-foot statue has a moveable head, shoulders, elbows, lower back, knees, ankles, fingertips and, ahem, "groin." This Haruhi has an expected sticker price of ¥380,000 (US$ 3,628.72). But can you really put a price on something so creepy? Yes, apparently!

Haruhi Cosplay Figure Review [Moeyo]
Cosplaying with Cosplay Figurine
This is a Kotaku first, I believe. We've featured cosplaying tons on Kotaku. Ditto for figurines. But, we've never covered people cosplaying with figurines that are cosplaying. Here, cosplayer Usagi Tsukimiya poses with a Hobby Wave Haruhi Suzumiya bunny figure. Even though Tsukimiya was a Hobby Wave booth companion at the recent Wonder Festival in Japan, something about this photo shoot seems oddly profound. A cosplayer posing as a figurine character in cosplay? Damn, that's deep.

Haruhi, Lucky Star, Nazis
Over the weekend, garage kit convention Tokyo Wonder Festival kicked off. Cosplayers came in droves, dressing up as everything from Haruhi Suzumiya to Lucky Star or from Haruhi Suzumiya to Dead or Alive's Kasumi or from Haurhi Suzumiya to Nazis. Always marvel at folks who think dressing up as genocidal killers is a good idea. (Hey, maybe they're getting ready for Indy 4! Oh, wait...) Click through the gallery below for pics.

Doujin-made game The Fierce Fighting of Haruhi Suzumiya has been killed off! The doujin circle behind the game has pulled it at the (scary?) request of Kadokawa Shoten, the publisher that originally put out the Haruhi light novels and manga, plus distributes the anime and is releasing the upcoming Wii game. The totally unofficial The Fierce Fighting of Haruhi Suzumiya had characters from the franchise battle each other in Dynasty Warriors-style battles. Rad! It even had cameos from another Kadokawa property, Lucky Star! Kadokawa hates on those who use its IP without authorization, going as far as to make YouTube take down unauthorized vids and whatnot. I can understand where Kadokawa is coming from, but it seems like a place in the oh so distant past.

Pick Your Favorite Haruhi

SEGA Brings The Skimpy Maid Outfits
Saucy! That's not just any old maid outfit. It's a UFO Catcher prize from SEGA! The prize is a maid costume that Mikuru Asahina from anime Haruhi Suzumiya that Mikuru wears while making and serving tea at her school club. The costume is actually slightly different from the one Mikuru wears, and it looks shameful — like you'd find in an adult novelty shop. The prize doesn't include the salmon colored undershirt, the wig or the faceless mannequin. No mannequin, can you believe it?! The nerve!SEGA Adult Goods [Hobby Blog]

Phoney Haruhi Promotes Bejing Olympics
Fugly! This Chinese middle school pamphelet features a crummy Haruhi Suzumiya rip-off. It's to promote the Bejing Olympics. And since Haruhi has fuck-all to do with the Bejing Olympics, you'd think that the rip-off artists could have done a slightly better job of tracing. You'd think. Though, it might be the fugly part that's keeping the publisher from getting its pants sued off by Haruhi creator Nagaru Tanigawa.Haruhi China [Enjoy Korea via Canned Dogs]

This post is so embarrassing. On January 31st, PS2 game Suzumiya Haruhi no Tomadoi goes on sale. To get everyone excited, Akihabara retailer Messe Sanoh has a life-sized Haruhi Suzumiya figurine in front of the shop. Some might get a little too excited and have the urge to shame poor Haruhi. How the store is combating that, after the jump:

Wow, we've made it 11 days into the new year without posting the Haruhi Suzumiya dance video. WTF is wrong with us?! (Hit the jump for that.) This Japanese ad features a Max Factory "Figma" figurine of character Yuki Nagato from hit anime/manga/game Haruhi Suzumiya. The Figma line supposedly poses very well. By the looks of that stop motion animation, it does! Goes on sale Valentine's Day. How romantic.

Horrible Haruhi Figurine
Jaw meet floor. This shockingly bad figurine of popular anime/manga/game character Haruhi Suzumiya has gotten the face right (very important!), but those joins are hideous. Sure, it's supposed to be a posable toy, but couldn't they have tried to raise the bar above freakazoid. This looks like those posable wooden statues for sketching with a Haruhi head stuck on it. So sad.Fugly Haruhi [AmiAmi via Danny Choo]

Holy cow this is freakazoid! And man, my freakazoid tolerance is really high. Someone skinned nerd characters into Winning Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer, complete with gianormous eyes. Those characters include the girls from Lucky Star, L from Death Note, Haruhi Suzumiya and Yoda among others. The video is kinda slow starting off, but stick around for the truly bizarre stuff.
