Figuring out which is what would be a nuisance to me but hey, it's cool in any order apparently...

Oooo, here's the translation of "God Knows" sung by Haruhi last episode.

I dash with a parched heart
Sorry, I couldn't do anything
You won't even let me
Share pain together with you

To live purely, I turn my back
Without looking back and leave
on the lonely rail

I'll follow
No matter how bitter, even within the darkness of the world
Surely, you're shining
The surpassing edge of the future
So that my soul won't be destroyed due to my weaknesses
my ways will overlap
Now, God bless us two...

Thoughts that grow hot when delivered
Melt into reality and wander
There's no reason to feeling like seeing you
It overflows to you, Lovin' you

At the very least, while I only draw
A beautiful dream, I'll chase you
for your lonely heart

Stop it, telling lies isn't like you
Look at my eyes and let's talk about things from now on
I'm ready
Even in a dark future
I'll become strong and my destiny just might be changeable
Even though I want to fulfill my wish
God knows everything...

You exist, I exist
And other people disappeared
While I draw the beauty of a faint dream
I trace my scars

So I'll follow
No matter how bitter, even within the darkness of the world
Surely, you're shining
The surpassing edge of the future
So that my soul won't be destroyed due to my weaknesses
my ways will overlap
Now, God bless us two...


Man, that song is like Haruhi's calling towards Kyon.

Episode 14 thoughts:

Possible Spoilers and my own rambling thoughts wrote:This was a really great ending to the series. I was really curious as to how Haruhi would react to "closed space" and the shinjin. I'm glad that she behaved exactly how I expected her to.

The opening sequence with Imouto-chan waking up Kyon had me dying with laughter. I've been awakened like that a bunch of times. ^_^

And the scenes with Taniguchi and Kyon's vs. Taniguchi's versions of Kyon x Yuki were priceless. うそつけ.ちっ。。。 Word bubbles ftw.


More after the sub is out...

FINAL EPISODE!!! :shock:

That was by far the BEST ending I have seen in a very, VERY long time! I especially love the kiss Kyon gave to Haruhi; it's extremely beautiful especially when they're about to get pounded by those blue giant things. :lol:


Final verdict: FU**ING MASTERPIECE. There hasn't been one episode that's been extremely weak which bogged down the entire series. Combined with gorgeous animation, very likable characters, extremely witty dialouge, and the absolute boldness of SHUFFLING episodes and still get the point across is nothing short but amazing. Not to mention all those non-pretentious scientific terms thrown around which will forever be discussed for years to come.

I have a feeling this series will be the next landmark anime title to go along with the likes of Cowboy Bebop, Eva, Fullmetal Alchemist, etc., and it's not even an action title. :D

Possibility of second season.......oh god make it happen!

That bit at the end was fast thinking on Kyon's part.

...is it sad that I recognized the trick he used to hide Mikuru's pictures?

I must have missed that trick. Did create a hidden folder or something?

Perfect way to end... err I mean middle. Perfect way to middle. To echo some of the earlier sentiments, Haruhi was fan-freakin-tastic and will definately be missed from my weekly anime line-up. Oh well, it'll be licensed soon enough and a follow-up series(s) is pretty much a give in, considering the popularity of this run.

Great ending. Except I'm still wondering what that thing on Kyon's neck is (end of ep8).

The speed in which the subbed episode 14 was done in comparison to the previous ones was surprising.

Episode 14 had so many 'wins', it would be too long a list to write down. But to sum up, KyoAni created an episode that made us - the viewers - not want to leave this world of Haruhi Suzumiya and Merry Friends, mirroring Kyon's desire to stay in his original one. The desire for a second season is pretty widespread.

SpoilerProtector™ wrote:The only thing that makes me melancholy about this episode is that for once, Haruhi is genuinely happy in Closed Space alone with Kyon and the Shinjin running amok. I mean, WOW. Especially compared to her previous foul mood. To have Kyon bring her back to the real world makes me a bit sad. Although the look on Haruhi's face as Kyon goes in for the kill was awesome.


The animation, as usual was very well done. The scene with Haruhi braiding Mikuru's hair was very impressive. Not to mention Kyon flipping the Othello pieces over in his game with Itsuki.

And at 23:04, I noticed a couple of ENOZ members sitting beneath a tree. :wink:

Sleeping Beauty...

yeaaahhh.... :shock:

ONE OF THE BEST ENDINGS EVAR!!!!

Sadly, it's close to my top 10, but it's a little over-the-top for me... KyoAni r0x0rs though, it's up there tied with Gonzo and MadHouse for BEST ANIME PRODUCTION COMPANY EVAR!!! Poor Bandai Visual dropped down a chunk ;(
