I finished "watching" the 4th episode. And by "watched" I mean viewed the un-subbed raw while struggling to understand the dialog using my very limited knowledge of the japanese language.

Even so, I almost died laughing when

And Asahina's reaction to Suzumiya at the end of the episode was priceless. :lol:

I R0X0R this show!

Ep 1 had me going, wtf? Then I realized about 3 mins in that it's just a 'cast' thing.

Like "the making of a bad anime" documentary.

It was priceless...

Then we discover in ep 2+ how Haruhi uses the poor bunny girl with baby face and giant boobs [loli dream for me] to blackmail people...

:shock:

LOVE. THIS. SHOW!!

Man, episode 7.....um I mean episode 4....>_>

Something tells me that this series is not your straight up comedy series. They teased us with quite of bit of interesting elements such as...
- according to Itsuki, having Kyon keep Haruhi being happy is integral to the safety of the entire world

- Yuki has badass powers, and looks a lot cooler without glasses 8-)

- I think it's official that Mikuru is a time-traveler of some sort
This shot is so fu**ing hot, and it looks like episode 3 (or rather episode 5) there will be more Mikuru fanservice. 8-)

Quite of bit of funny moments in this baseball episode though Haruhi's hand signals towards Mikuru look REALLY awkward (though I couldn't help myself laughing). :lol:

...This show just gets better and better! I must have looked really really silly if someone saw me after the 4th EP had ended. I just sat in my couch and smiled. Nothing else. A glass of unsipped orange juice in my hand and a smile. Frozen for about 30-40 sec.

Anyone know how many episodes they have planned on realesing?

I think it's because of Haruhi being the Ultra Director of the series as seen here:

So she pretty much has control of the guys who're making this!!! :shock:

Of course, you know that this is all Kyon's fault for talking to her.
