Re: Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Endless Eight kinda dragged on but Sighs felt a bit rushed. They even ended Sighs IV in the middle of a conversation and continued it exactly where they left off at the beginning of Sighs V. I had to rewatch the end of Sighs IV to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Photoshop out the credits and stick the two episodes together and you get one continuous double-length episode. In fact, if you edit out the OP and ED sequences from all the Sighs episodes, you end up with one long Haruhi movie. About them making a movie.

... THAT was the end? Fuucccckkk. : /
There had better be a third season, because there is a lot of plot potential now.

Re: Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
I was a bit disappointed with the way it ended. It felt like there was no real plot progression during this season other than the conversation between Yuki, Itsuki and Mikuru with Kyon in episode 14. I got to admit though, I'm feeling very confuzzled over who is good and who is potentially bad.

Re: Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
All I really want now, is someone to take a stab at ordering the episodes in REAL proper viewing order, one I can actually believe in.
Anime, one of the few things about the internet that doesn't make me hate the internet.

The episodes have been playing in proper viewing order, if I'm not mistaken.

Re: Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Yeah they have, which is good because I never saw the point of airing them out of chronology in the first place.

Re: Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
That's easy: the first and last (broadcast order) episodes of the first season have FAR more impact when viewed in that order.RooRooRocket wrote:Yeah they have, which is good because I never saw the point of airing them out of chronology in the first place.

Re: Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Okay, chronologically it came way late, and it looked extremely tacked-on because of that (we don't usually have jumping around like that *within* an episode)... but it was kind of nice that they finally gave us the follow-up to the first season's epilogue. I suppose the Sighs arc didn't really have climactic enough of a conclusion by itself...
Also, after going back and watching Episode 00 immediately afterwards, we noticed the following:
1) Kyon's voice sounds noticeably younger in the first season.
2) In the commercial for the model shop: in the first season we see Mikuru reading the cue cards to the right of the camera, and same with picking up the gun; but in the second season, both of these are to the LEFT of the camera. Oops.
