I'm slightly disappointed that KyoAni never did deign to show us Kyon's facial expression after Itsuki suggests that he ought to be the one to do it himself, but I was kind of expecting that from the way that part went in the original source -- and they kept coming up with clever ways to hide his face (though the last one was a bit of a dud).

Anyway, I'm really excited now that I've seen what they chose for the next arc. I've been hoping they would animate this story ever since I first heard the second season announced (which was what, TWO YEARS ago?! what in hell took them so long?), and the first episode so far hasn't disappointed.

Though I swear they weren't using the shaky cam this much (if at all) in the original series (I understand they're doing it to indicate Kyon's POV, but still), and I don't believe that Haruhi was making this many K-ON!esque faces either (she's been doing it occasionally through all of the new episodes, but this last one REALLY had a lot).

I TRULY feel sorry for ANYone that can pay SOOO much attention to unnecessary levels of detail.

It's of course an unfortunate graphic gaffe, it is also so utterly unimportant too.

Actually, I was randomly scrubbing through the avsp preview while filtering, as I said. I noticed it by coincidence. :P
And I thought that the overdramatization was quite obvious.

3 eps into the post endless eight arc and it looks 'ok', but then the shows are at least different now :)

Season 2 though is so utterly just eps that should have been portions of season 1. Has any other anime ever actually done this before?

Rewatch Episode 00. Then read wikipedia about it like everyone else did years ago.

Do research on anime? I'm a nerd, but I'm not THAT big if a nerd. I watch and enjoy, and that is enough for me. :)

Oh sure, looking up a voice on wikipedia is a really nerdy thing too do. :roll:

Personally, I read the Baka-Tsuki wiki translation of the light novel instead, but whatever.

Wow, drama. Didn't expect that ...lol. I think they should have kept it going, they could have taken the plot in a new direction. (What? Secretly Haruhi wants a rival with powers similar to hers?! :P )
Also, I'm starting to realize just how Haruhi sees Asahina ... that's really fucked up. She doesn't even look at her like a human ... like she said, she's just her toy. I was hoping Kyon was gonna give her a good one. Stupid Izumi. : /
Also, Yuki is still awesome. And she's going to get more so. I'm interested to see where this talking cat thing is going ....

Thought it was pretty insane how Kyon fought back, saying she deserved a face full of fist.

Isn't that the first time in the entire series where they dispensed with the opening sequence for an episode that WASN'T the last one of its arc?

Well, rape punishment is at least in the doujins.... [ack] :twisted:

In any case, it should be somewhat obvious that if Kyon does fist Haruhi's face, the world would end perhaps? Would have been cooler if he got into a scuffle with Koizumi though. Then when they're both done beating the shit out of each other, perhaps something else [or the same thing] would end up happening...
