The dub has started to be posted on Funimation. They even managed to get the full Haruhi cast back.

You're getting original Yuki with Turkey's memories, but she doesn't recognize them as her own. There will be tons of posts on forums saying "This is what she should have been like" by people who claimed to have dropped the series. It's followed up by Finite 8 too.

They're going to stretch this arc out arent they?

At least now I can see why they needed 16 episodes and an OVA.

I didn't think I would miss Nagaturkey. I mean, it's great to see the real Nagato and I didn't think I'd miss the clone, but I do. Poor Yuki's in her dream world and is probably going to have to give it up again. I feel bad for both of them.

This episode had quite a few more anime original moments. It was made from only 20 pages of the manga and most of those were used in the first couple of minutes. I really hope they don't go for an anime original ending and/or slip in Haruhi season 2.5 after going this far.

E: also, how about that ED change

Well that's a hell of a tone shift. Despite not a lot objectively happening AS USUAL this might've been the best episode so far: great use of atmospheric music, Nagato's "new" voice is perfect, nice change to the end credits.

No idea where this is going exactly but I'll keep watching it.

So if this actually gets good, which episodes can be skipped? I dropped this from boredom at the valentine's day arc.

I'd say that if you weren't feeling it to start with, there's no point in trying to figure out "key" episodes.

I'm the lead trumpet player, playing loud and high is all I know how to do.

(11): The audio in this episode was intriguing, notably the use of that muffled voice and the background music.

Really nailed an "I'm incredibly tired and almost feel like I'm a spectator in my own life" depressed kind of feeling.

I wasn't expecting them to stretch the arc out this long. They may just try to avoid introducing major characters and stop on volume 5 unless they turn it into an endless 8 episode. A lot of this volume has been anime original . I do have a pretty good idea where they could stop. Of course that leaves the question about what the OVA will cover.

Eh, I watched the mildly interesting Disappearance arc but that's about it. Were there any consequences from that in the next episodes?

Well Other Nagato kind of confessed her feelings for Kyon, and that's been slowly paying off and holy poo poo I just realized that apart from a few good moments in this series it's purely been wishful thinking for Haruhi S3 that's kept me watching. I think this show actually worked best in the earliest episodes where it was more of a dumb comedy instead of a boring romance.

The most recent ep had a bunch of fanservice shots and reminders of E8.

I actually enjoy calm, dialogue-heavy shows, so this one wasn't too bad for me.

I mean, it wasn't good, and I'd be hard pressed to recommend it even to someone who was heavily invested in Haruhi already, but for something to turn my brain off to for 25 minutes and de-stress at the end of the day, it's not bad. Will I rewatch it? Probably not. Would I check out a season 2? Maybe if there wasn't something more interesting on.
