Watched this one as airing order so it's an episode about space game aka LoGH parody. Man Yuki is the real highlight of the show, how she gradually get used to the game and burst the Computer Science club is just priceless. Also the LoGH reference in this one is pretty strong and god damn funny, especially how Koizumi re-enact the way an admiral reporting to his superior. 4/5 for this one.

I burst out laughing when it turned out the computer club president was a parody of Emperor Dessler of Gamilas

Haruhi isn't even in my top ten anime, but The Day of Sagittarius might be my favourite 24 minutes of television ever produced.

Animation sucked. It was all pretentious from the beginning. Whatever you say Sherlock.

I am real tired of this series. Can't wait to drop it.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

Haha, the CGI. Now it hits me that LoGH had all its battleships hand-drawn.

Yuki looked so cool here. And she even found something that she enjoys! Cuuute

This was the space war episode for me.

If that Computer Club really did make such a game, then they wouldn't be such a miserable club 'cause the game felt finished like a professional game in the 80s lol

The visualisation of the space battles were funny with each member of the SOS Brigade having their own distinctive styles. I found Yuki's funniest; her entire crew was her lol

Wow, the Computer Club was cheating? In a game they made too, so that's double cheating. I thought Yuki was making algorithms to manage her split fleets but instead it was to stop their cheating. I pitied the Computer Club for having to put up with Haruhi, but now I pity them less.

That was a really fun and hilarious episode.

I see people talking about the band episode and the space game one, neither of them were the one I saw since I saw these two before. For me this one was about Koizumi's purpose in Haruhi's scheme.
The weird order is making it very hard for me to connect with the characters, I don't feel invested at all. And considering that the order is a mess no matter what, I don't see why the show even decided to do this kind of narration. I don't even know in what state of mind the characters are at the beginning of each episode since I don't know where it is supposed to be in the chronological order. And the show is pretty good but I don't really feel like rewatching everything in chronological order...

Anyone else notice how the guy on the cover of the Computer Club's The Day of Sagittarius game looks a lot like a younger version of Capt. Juzo Okita from the Space Battleship Yamato series?

So, the murder plot was all an act to entertain Haruhi, but why was Koizumi looking at a mole with a single hair growing out of it on the back of Kyon's neck? Is it possible that Kyon is not fully human or something?

Just realized in the credits- but Kyon's sister actually just doesn't have a name. She's referred to as, "Kyon's sister." Same is true on MAL.

I really liked that black and red murder reenactment scene.

So that zoom in to the mole must have some meaning. This show is real wacky, so it could mean anything.

After that Live Alive episode.
Well this certainly was a fun episode involving team vs team PC game. But lol that typing speed, and that much algorithm. She's really a humanoid interface for a reason, Yuki.

She def made a murderer show up on the island. Those weird power goopy lines appeared after her initial deduction was wrong. Prob trying to blame the death on an actual murderer.

(remote island island syndrome part 2)

A mildly engaging episode, but it had to go as far as to be a murder mystery to achieve that. A good reveal I guess, but the true highlight was looking at Kyon's random mole with the singular strand of hair sticking out. Immaculate, might I say.

Up next for me is the first episode of the endless eight. I will AT LEAST watch the first one, MAYBE the last one, and also the 2nd which is recommended. But the rest? Hah, in your dreams.

All that crap from the arc where they are making this short was worth for the final product. Very amusing short, captures perfectly how a school project looks like, and great job from Kyoto Animation in making the visuals as crappy as they are.

I can't fault the Computer Club for cheating, considering what Haruhi did to take to their computer in the first place.
