To mark the start of the project, original author Nagaru Tanigawa has released a statement.

I can't remember when I first heard about the anime adaptation from the editor, but I first visited Kyoto Animation in early spring 2005. I'm pretty sure 'AIR' was on the air at the time.

At the time, I thought that my job would be as good as done once I bowed to the executives and staff and said, 'Thank you for your help,' but I was surprised that the meeting suddenly and seamlessly began with, 'So, what kind of anime should we make?' and that it seemed they were looking for my opinion.

Is that really something I should be thinking about?
That being said, it's not like we had no plan at all, and the first thing I said was, 'Can't we just do one season of the first volume, 'Melancholy'?' The reason is that I quite liked that final scene, and I thought it would be just right to end the final episode there. The staff seemed to ponder for a while, saying 'Hmm,' but eventually they replied something along the lines of, 'It's not impossible, but it would end up being extremely drawn out and would lose the good tempo that was in the original.' And that's certainly true.

So I suggested, 'What if we inserted short episodes in between the 'Melancholy' episodes in no particular order, without any consideration for chronological consistency?' It seems like they were determined to make the ending of 'Melancholy' the final episode no matter what, but I feel like I was just voicing an idea that came to mind on the spot.

A few months later, a planning meeting was held at a place like a training center by the lake. Before we knew it, the plan had been finalized, and the focus shifted to which short stories to include and when. Some people may think that the broadcast order was decided on haphazardly, but the truth is that everyone thought it through to the point of breaking their heads. Seriously.

Twenty years have passed since then, and the fact that we can still see Haruhi and the other characters moving and hear their voices is entirely thanks to the people who were involved in the animation production back then and everyone who enjoyed it. Thank you again. Thank you very much.

To have such strong feelings towards a dog
If this were a human being...I can't imagine how the bereaved families must feel.

I see a lot of comments on X like, 'Why did you let your dog outside?'

The pond in the front yard of the Tokyo National Museum has been there since the museum was completed, so I think that the architect, Watanabe Jin, probably included the pond in the design, but I wonder if it's right to destroy the pond in the front yard, which is a set with the main building, an Important Cultural Property. pic.twitter.com/IcHZ5OYFtt

In our sixth grade cooking class, we had a lesson where we made a simple meal of rice and miso soup and delivered it to our favorite teacher. Our group lost the lottery and went to deliver it to the unpopular principal. The principal was so happy that he even gave some of the delivery to other teachers and ate it. He looked like he was about to cry and said, 'It's delicious.' I'm now old enough to understand that feeling.

What I did to make my son a reader was

・Read to your child almost every day until they reach first grade. ・Show your child reading books. ・Frequently take them to the library or bookstore (buy any books they want without hesitation).
・Praise them a lot when they read a book

After doing all this, my eldest son, who is in the first year of junior high school, now watches the short videos forever.

Cucumber farmers are the main culprit behind the decline in Japan's calorie-based self-sufficiency rate.

Now let's try growing cucumbers and sweet potatoes in a 1,000m2 greenhouse.

1,000㎡ Cucumber sales 6-8 million yen
1,000㎡ Sweet potato sales 300,000

Hahaha, it would be better to quit farming. https://t.co/88L8NETEOd

I think this is simply because 'I'd reach my limit pretty quickly if I had to deal with you guys while doing etudes according to the character's setting.' I also quickly gave up on the Cinnamon character, a quiet, 14-year-old character with extensive knowledge of the Self-Defense Forces, because I thought 'If I act according to this setting, it won't be exciting.' https://t.co/HAbx2K7oQV

When I was in college, I had two friends who were incredibly talented at drawing. One of them improved by drawing in the library because 'his parents were too noisy when he was at home.' The other had been drawing since elementary school because he loved being told 'that's amazing!' → It's interesting to note the distinctive difference between their drawings. - posfie
