drat, I haven't watched this show in years but with the santa claus monologue and the ost it's all coming back to me

Yeah I had totally forgotten most of how the show goes, but watching the first episode again is really bringing it all back.


Motto posted:

mikuru looks a bit :downs: sometimes, but yeah

She looks straight out of Clannad, whereas the other characters all look a lot better. Although that Haruhi head turn from the end of the first episode terrifies me. (gif request?)

There was a nice collection of all the avs people bought but the hosting for it evaporated ages ago. WillieWestwood saved a uploaded a bunch of the banners in the Nagato thread though: http://imgur.com/a/nAImV

Thanks for these, now the Haruhi experience is complete.

But it's still one of those things I like much more in theory than in practice. They could've gotten the point across in half the episodes without really losing anything. If I was watching it live I absolutely would have lost my poo poo too.

Though even in spite of all that, the last 5-10 minutes of the arc might be some of my favorite scenes in the entire series, so it's hard to be too mad about it.

Actually, it's premature to talk about it now, I guess--here comes Nagato to bonk us on the nose--but I definitely look forward to hearing what people say about it when we get there in the watch.

I think every Endless Eight episode makes Disappearance that much better. An infinite amount of Endless Eight episodes would make Disappearance infinitely good.

That episode is way weirder than I remembered. I also remember not liking this next episode, so I hope I'm wrong again.

Okay apparently my memory erased everything but the actual plot ending, and forgot the hilarious Phoenix Wright stuff and how adorable this ending is. This owns.

Who's ready for school!?! There's sure to be lots of new school day adventures in the next episode, right?

I can't wait to get back to the clubroom! I bet Haruhi has some great ideas for their new frog costume!

One episode of Yuki maybe enjoying herself, and seven episodes of Yuki looking bummed as gently caress. Poor Yuki.

I remember when I first watched this, I really thought stopping the loop was going to have something to do with the moment outside the cafe with Yuki. I really love how E8 treats Yuki. It doesn't dwell on her overmuch, but every shot she's in feel like it's twisting the knife.

STOP WATCHING BASEBALL KYON.

God. How many centuries of goddamn baseball has he wasted his life on now? Of all the sports to be locked in a time loop with.


No I will not drop my beef with baseball, thanks for asking.

I think endless time loop is a pretty good metaphor for baseball.

gently caress the music sells the "you know her?" scene so hard. I almost teared up the first time I watched it, it's so good.

This movie really makes me root for keeping alternate Yuki, and then Kyon delivers the most impassioned ever for keeping original Yuki, and I can't help but agree.

Hmm, well you guys say Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan isn't worth the watch, but Funimation would have me believe that "No true Haruhi devotee should miss The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan." I'm not sure who to trust here.

Make a new KyoAni thread! I started watching Hyouka again now that the Simulwatch is over and I need somewhere to gush about it. This show is super beautiful and constantly adorable.
