Random thought about the episode.

You know how Yuki apparently bit nanomachines into Mikuru after the Mikuru beam incident?

You don't think they did more than protect Mikuru...like assist her physical development into Adult(!) Mikuru?

Meh x 2

They need to work harder than this. They are literally adapting the LN page by page, which is not necessarily a good idea after the Endless Eight fiasco....


This is actually good for those who haven't read the Novel. You can get the entire feel of the story despite not reading the Novel.

She also said in the first season that she has a personal desire for him to return (from the closed space he was in with Haruhi).

Yuki. <3 but what annoyed me in that episode, no one thanked her for saving their lives.

I guess some of you don't realise that Haruhi is basically slice of life, with some Sci Fi thrown in. Anyway, i'm loving this arc because this is exactly what this series is best at imo.

Very much agreed insan3soldiern.

QFT.

The only reason why people are complaining about this anime is because they have read the light novels and want disappearance to be animated. People like me who havent read basically enjoy the anime as it is now.


That's one of the main reasons why I avoid all manga/novels. I'm getting a lot of laughs off this show and I'm curious what sort of side effects Haruhi is causing with the film that they are doing. Whatever floats people's boats huh? Speaking of Haruhi, she such a bully though but that also makes the show interesting and it helps Kyon say epic lines all the time.

I got a little irked at Haruhi for hitting Mikuru on the head. That was a lil random.

As usual, Yuki is awesome; catching the beam with her bare hands. <3

i knew i shouldn't have rated the adventure of mikuru asahina a 1/5 xP....but how dumb can you be to put the last episode first? xD..oh well

i somehow loved mikuru this episode...but still she seriously annoys me sometimes :\
i loled when Kyon zoomed in on asahina's breasts xD
and at last Kyon gives Haruhi a lesson,god damn Haruhi annoys the hell out of me,who the hell does she think she is O.o

5/5

Meh, it's still not doing that great a job. Most of the high scores seem to be there simply because it's Haruhi, but face it, this arc ISN'T ACTUALLY THAT GOOD. Or maybe the gushing adoration is simply due to the fact that it's not EE again...

Also, having just seen some of the 1st season, this is the first ep that it really struck me just how moe Haruhi seems to have become...is this just the effects of K-ON! and similar shows (who in turn were heavily inspired by Haruhi), or just KyoAni messing around again?It's getting a bit annoying actually...

I wish I didn't have to be this negative...*sigh*

Wow they've done a good job explaining all the little things that were in the movie they did. I think a lot of planning went into all this. The whole explanation as to why Nagato pinned down Mikuru like that all makes sense now...

And the scene with Haruhi shooting the monk was pretty surprising lol

Well, I really think these last episodes are something related to a more efficient general explanation of the plot itself (many different details and a lot of climax).

Hope we'll get on a very well settled ending about this second season though.

Oh cool, it's getting interesting again. It's good to know how things came to be in the finished product. Yuki has such fast reaction, not that it's surprising. She definitely has saved Kyon a few times now. But she really does only listen to Kyon and Haruhi. I liked how she looked at Kyon for approval when Koizumi wanted to see her hand. Hmm I wonder why? Is there really something special about Kyon? Or she just favors him?

So i waited for the mountain to disappear (would be awesome seeing them trying to cover that up) when Haruhi wasn't satisfied with the setting, but they went to the town instead like any ordinary film crew..

Haruhi is such a bitch like omfg. This arc and season has been really boring tbh. Wish they could have focused on supernatural parts.

Lmao, Mikuru actually looked and acted like a cat at the start, having to fall down after getting "hit" - Gotta say, that was pretty cute :3

Beginning to hate Haruhi, she may be the most sociopathic, bipolar(she literally ticks all the boxes), spiteful character ever. Her jealousy towards Asahina is disgusting :-(

I'm honestly confused as to how the world/universe can revolve around such a monster...

Both Koizumi's twitch when Haruhi told him he'll get a bigger role and Taniguchi's complete lack of movement after seeing Mikuru were hilarious moments, probably my favourite episode of the arc so far !

I'm probably going to re-watch Episode 25 / Episode 1 / whatever / the movie episode from series 1 after this. I think I watched the movie episode as the first Haruhi episode I'd ever watched, so it's great how it comes full circle.

chronological order, so the music scene was here

In my rewatch I came to dubt why I liked Haruhi so much, but with this episode I feel like I finally remember why.

While the derpy eyes are still a thing, the animation was awesome. cant believe its over 10 years old already

This episode was "Live Alive" for me.

This was one of the best episodes. Seeing Haruhi and Yuki performing onstage was awesome. Watching this dubbed, Wendee Lee can sing really well. The mention of "minidiscs" was interesting, as that format flopped in North America, and I only discovered that format's existence a few years back. They apparently did okay in Japan, though.

For those of you wondering what kind of guitar Haruhi was playing, it's an Italia Mondial Classic 2 tone sunburst:



It's too bad that they never built any left handed models, because I wouldn't mind owning it. Maybe I'll pay a luthier to build me one like it someday.

[chronological order]

Well, great performance. Was not expecting it. Also, how convenient it was minutes before the performance it started to rain. It could have been Nagato wanting everyone to watch Haruhi perform. A good way to keep her in a good mood and not unconsciously destroying the world.

Two more episodes left. Not sure how they are going to cover enough content in two episodes (not surprising since I'm watching in the chronological order).

Also, I'm happy to see that they put the effort and dub Haruhi's performance.

Can't believe Mikuru beam turned out to be some real laser beam, but thanks to Nagato things were resolved peacefully without anyone getting any sort of harm from it.
