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.
