Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu (movie)
This movie is the continuation of the 2 Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu TV series, and is mainly on the Shoushitsu story arc.
The movie started roadshow on 06 Feb 2010. I watched it in Kanagawa-ken Kawasaki-shi on 06 Feb, and once more in Tokyo-to Koutou-ku Toyosu on 07 Feb, then proceed to Hyogo-ken for location hunts on 08-10 Feb.
As it is not possible to memorize all the scenes/angles even watching the movie twice, I shot more photos than was need. I will trim down and remove unnecessary photos from this page once the DVD is released.
