yeah I remember when I first saw the show I made a mental note like "haruhi is a show about a guy getting the most exquisite bj and he won't stop complaining about it"

SuperKyon theory

yeah I don't wanna get into this too much (I'm just not that concerned with who's pulling the strings, although you make a good point about how it might change Kyon and Koizumi's dynamic) but expanding on my post above:

Haruhi is not the one whose secret desires are being fulfilled throughout this show. the character who fills that role is Kyon. that he doesn't realize this says a little bit about Kyon's character and a lot about the nature of desire.

of course Haruhi's desire on some level could be to draw in Kyon by creating a world that appeals to his hidden wishes, but again, in this specific case who is actually doing what and the mechanics of all that aren't very important to me.

~Water flowers every day~
I've had a day and a half to recover from the Endless Eight now. I thought I knew what I was getting into, but by the fourth episode I started to feel a little bit insane.

It was during the fireworks part of episode 6 that I had the epiphany of what would close the loop. My thoughts at the time were,

"It's not going to be Kyon just doing his homework. That's too obvious, and since September 1st doesn't exist, Haruhi doesn't know that he hasn't done it so that's not why she's looping time. It's not something inherently romantic. Kyon probably took Koizumi's 'I love you' advice at least a few times out of fifteen thousand and it didn't work, so that's out. The thing that is making Haruhi dissatisfied with her summer vacation can only be the last day of it, where she gives everyone else the day off and therefore probably spends her August 31st bored out of her mind with nothing to do. Kyon just needs to occupy her last day with anything more interesting than watching paint dry and she'll be satisfied."

I'm glad I was right, but then again coming to this conclusion made episode 7 hellish to watch. At least episode 8 gave me a brief mental break by making me laugh really hard when Mikuru's phone call was just a blubbering, incoherent mess. I liked the resolution, I'm glad I watched the whole thing, and I appreciate the act of trolling your audience harder than they ever would have anticipated, but I'm never watching EE again. I feel so drat bad for Nagato, and I can't believe Kyoani aired this without getting their offices firebombed by enraged otaku.

The first two Sigh episodes were such a relief to watch after that. Looking forward to tonight's, especially with everyone talking up this Koizumi stuff.

I'd be totally down for an Eva simulwatch, gives me good reason to finally watch Rebuild 3 to finish it all off.

Haven't posted in here much, but I have been watching along most episodes and the show isn't just good for nostalgia reasons.

i presume they're waiting for 4.0 and then will release both simultaneously theatrically and then everything all together in a big loving box that i can max out my credit card on

anyway watch rebuild 3 its the best one so far
