    Wow...I didn't think someone would actually license them. That's amazing news. But a year? Shoot

    So it begs the question: How many differences are there between the novels and the TV series? Or are the novels completely original stories that the series didn't use?

    The novels are what the TV series is based off of.

    But yeah, the TV series differs slightly, and (so far) jumps around a bit between the first book (chronological episodes 1-6) and some short stories from the other books (chronological episodes 7-14).

    Can't wait for them. I actually finished watching the series for a 2nd time two days ago. I love TMoHS; I can't get enough of it.

    According to Wiki, there are nine novels so far and there's a tenth book coming with an unknown release date. So, if I have this figured right, even after a season 2 of the Haruhi anime eventually happens there would be some unanimated material in the books. Not sure I'm devoted enough to double dip, though the paperbacks are bound to be discounted to super cheap levels.
    I would suggest that it's not the medium, but the quality of perception and expression, that determines the significance of art. But what would a cartoonist know? -Bill Watterson
