Great episode :) The music was good considering they only had an hour... and the scene with Haruhi and Kyon under the tree was cute... I'm sad this series is coming to an end :(

Yeah it was great music. And this was a good episode that defined what Haruhi's character is like, and how she feels about life in general.

Concert was amazing, respect to Hirano for singing some epic songs.
I still listen to Lost My Music on a regular basis after watching Haruhi about a year and a half ago.

One of the best episodes i've ever seen in an anime. Not just the music, but because of the character defining moments in the last half of the episode, where we delve into what makes Haruhi tick. That's why I like this episode so much.

It has almost been a year after I watched this season and this episode, and I gotta say it's one of the best ones I have ever seen. The concert is one of the scenes I will remember the best through the upcoming years for sure.

Very much enjoyed the music in this episode. I have an odd feeling that this would have been the chronological final episode. Not looking to finish this series cause I am enjoying it and I hear the 2nd is not good.
Such junk...

Well, that was a pretty good performance given the fact they only had like an hour to practice. The only actual scene I liked from this episode had to be Kyon and Haruhi's conversation under the tree.

Another wow! This show started pretty average for me, but these last couple of episodes were sweet! Especially this one, which is the festival episode. The bassist was kickass and Nagato with that hat was badass!

This episode was a piledriver of a show.

And the two songs are probably the best non-background music ever in an anime. And Haruhi and especially Yuki are dressed to kill. If someone else tried to play dressed as a bunny girl, it would have been lame. But they were entirely in character.

I was visiting some fansub site today and there was a youtube video of some video game, where you have to hit stuff to the beat. Anyway, the song in the game was God Bless.

Hearing the music out of the blue has called up all kinds of memories from the show. I feel like watching this episode now.

Anyone else notice Taniguchi drinking a Ramuné soda? :D I know it's a popular drink in Japan, I'm surprised I have not seen this before in anime.

Keep hearing "God Knows" on a radio station online from requests frequently, and yeah it's a pretty good song, but now after watching this, I think highly of it now.

Al right, this episode helped me realize that I only felt "attraction" towards Haruhi up until now. It has now evolved into Love :)

The concert was awesome and I really like how Haruhi (Aya Hirano) sang their own songs. Just what can Haruhi "not" do? Yuki was pretty good with the guitar as well, it was funny seeing her keep her poker face while going insane with the guitar ^^

I really liked the scene with Haruhi/Kyon under the tree. We got to see her sensitive side again and the development between them is taking fruit.

This episode will definitely be the most memorable, it's right up there with the "Island Vacation" and "Someday in the rain" for me.

Haruhi! :)

The second song was great, the first one was good too, but it was hard to get into it because I didn't think that the voice fit Haruhi at all. I liked the scene near the end with Kyon and Haruhi talking under the tree. She's come far from not wanting to do anything normal with normal people to wanting to do her best (and I guess being praised?) in things that wouldn't have interested her before.

what exactly was a DMC reference?

this episode was great, I think it's the lack of Yuki or Koizumi's mysterious theories that makes it quite enjoyable. It seemed like it was Kyon's day off from Haruhi lol he actually went and hung around with his male friends, but was bored as hell very soon. And I think that's what makes him go day after day to the club, without Haruhi his life would be just so boring, lol that's what I think at least
