Haruhi rules. Also, a question I asked in the Simulwatch thread that went unanswered regarding the Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya:

So, Yuki steals Haruhi's power to remake the world, setting off the events of the film. ...Is that just a thing she's always been able to do? Or was Haruhi somehow made vulnerable to Power-theft leading up to the events of Disappearance?

Curious about this as well. It doesn't make sense for her to always have been able to do that, because surely her bosses would have done so already if they could, right? They'd take Haruhi's power so they could control it, instead of having to play such a dangerous game with a high school student.

Obviously it took 595 years for Yuki to figure out how to do it herself.

I always just assumed that the idse could take the power if they wanted to, but it wouldn't serve their purpose. they don't know how to use it to cause "autoevolution"

I think this is one of the things that go in favour of Kyon being the real God instead.

...Oh yeah. I meant to ask about that. I heard some folks talking about it behind spoiler tags back when the simulwatch was still young, and I assumed the show would start dropping some obvious hints, but I never caught any. Can we talk about that? Because I don't know that I get it.

It's a long and persistent crazy wacky theory/perfectly valid interpretation of Haruhi. That we will probably never get a confirmation, or a wholesale rejection of. I mean there isn't really a ton of evidence for it, but it would be kind of thematically neat given how the series opens.

There's like a website for it and everything.

everything about the festival arc in hyouka is great. The trading sequence. The saturn head. Chitanda getting distracted running around the festival. The mystery. it's top notch

There's no real obvious hints about it, it's more just the unanswered question of why Kyon is in the SOS Brigade outside of being Haruhi's crush. The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina could be interpreted to be about Kyon too since Haruhi subconsciously figured out that Mikuru was a time traveler and Yuki was an alien, and that whole plot-line has parallels with Kyon's relationship with Mikuru and Yuki. Koizumi breaks character in the middle of it too when he starts thinking about it too which was fun. We also don't know Kyon's real name, which is another one of those odd quirks which people like to speculate about. I don't fully think Kyon is God either, but he's no simple everyman character either. The first time Haruhi ever exhibited any power was when she met John Smith 3 years ago, and I still think that's true for the most part. Her mood swings are almost always related to Kyon in some manner, and Yuki's actions were all connected to Kyon as well. Course, Koizumi outright speculates about it in front of Kyon in Intrigues, but Kyon doesn't pick up on it.

everytime someone says a seasonal anime is GOAT

Just watch the best anime ever
I did not make it through episode 1 of Beyond the Boundry but those gifs look sweet as hell and makes me want to give it another shot to see if I can make it to the cool scenes.

Kyoani makes the prettiest anime. Hyouka is still probably the best looking anime TV series I've seen even 3 years later.

Overall, there's just so many little things that happen in Haruhi that happen for Kyon's benefit and Kyon's benefit alone.
