"I guess it's a bit harder for gaijin fans to get excited since The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya hasn't been licensed (or at least not announced); it will probably be a while before even illicit downloaders get to see it, much less people who want to buy a North American release of the flick. Still and all, though, I felt a little fanfare was necessary, especially since the movie looks so cool."
Dunno how anyone has seen a subtitled version of it already.
