I enjoyed this. Was good seeing fresh material.

Asahina was still as moe as ever. Young Haruhi was so damn feisty. I just loved it. Look forward to see how they do with the rest of the episodes.

Episode was okay, but I preferred the novel.

It's ridiculous how high this show's ranking is, it's higher than the the first season for crying out loud! >_>

I don't think it's fair to judge the show's animation quality from poster artwork?

That said, I felt Clannad AS wasn't on par with Clannad. I assumed they would put an enormous emphasis on Haruhi S2, considering the hype, but, I dunno.

What I mean is, quit worrying me. :P

Torrenting now... But I'm home, away from my Uni connection. :(

This is one of the happiest days that I can remember. It's finally out and it exceeded my expectations. I loved it when Kyon found out about how he was the one who made the alien markings and the fact that his older self was asleep in time suspension next room over when his younger self first met Nagato. Pure genius.

Its funny. Ive been waiting for this for what seems like an eternity, and then it finally arrives and I wasnt ready. It was quite overwhelming at first, but I finally got myself to watching it, and damn does it feel good.

Its so great to see the SOS Dan back in action again. Not to mention that every Kyon line was lulzy.

Good decision, retarded release. Mazui v2 is the best version so far by miles. Minus the video quality maybe.

Meh. When the orange haired freak is on, it's criminally boring. When she's off or others (Haruhi, robot girl) are there, it's decent. If she doesn't die or disappear, next episode, I'll probably drop this.

Changing the ending theme was a good idea.

@Juando: Yes indeed xD

I really thought it was nice to give a re-cap and thorough viewing of the past with Haruhi and Kyon's time traveling encounter. It confuzzled my brain for a bit, but in a good way. ^_^ Does anyone know who the ED is by? I thought it was cute but I don't know if it's by Aya Hirano....can't really tell....

Loved it.

All that wait was worth it. The thing about Kyon being responsible for Haruhi attending North High was interesting though. He was the one responsible for his own suffering at the hands of Haruhi 3 years later lol. Also, now I see why there is an esper, alien, and time traveler in the brigade but no slider.

Haruhi: What is your name?
Kyon: John Smith.
Haruhi: Are you retarded?

Budget cuts, slow paced, seemed average.

But I guess it's nice to be back with some new, interesting content, some slight humour and just something easy to watch without being TOO fruity.

KyoAni has to do two shows right now, so I suppose it's inevitable. I'd rather they just didn't do K-ON!, because it sucks and it's taking away all of Haruhi's money.

I thought it was good, since it followed the manga. What bugs is me is that since time was frozen in the room they were sleeping in, wouldn't that mean there are two sets of Mikuru and Kyon?

Haruhi finally is back this year, and I’m so excited to watch the second season. After I watched the first episode, the pace is perfectly well and it seems to follow the manga. The story is very interesting since Kyon is the one who is responsible for Haruhi that she attends North High. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya 2 will probably take the top popularity over K-ON, and I will see if it happens. Young Haruhi is so cute so is adult Mikuru.

The Haruhi 3 years back is so hilarious... haha...

Overall the first episode was really well done. K-on and Haruhi have their unique points and I wont start comparing between them. Popularity wise, Haruhi will win for sure, K-on has only 5 more episodes to go T_T I'll miss K-on

Well, now Haruhi asking Kyon if they've met before during the first or second episode make sense. They had.


yes, i liked how this episode tied up some loose ends from season 1. i also found it funny that kyon was actually the one (albeit under orders from haruhi) who made that grafitti on the school grounds. and he and asahina-san being asleep for three years in yuki's apartment was sort of cool too. can't wait for the next episode! ^^

KyoAni is the best!!

I wonder when there will be a second episode.. Perhaps, it will now go back to the re-run of Episode 8 of the first season again. Since this is most likely a pre-air, I am guessing that the second season will actually start in autumn or after the end of season 1.

Hmm, I'm probably going to have to rewatch the first episode again and an episode from the first season, to really see how the art has changed. I knew it was different but couldn't really pinpoint it since I was just enjoying the episode itself, not the animation.

I disn't believe it when I saw those files. I thought it was a joke, but I downloaded them anyway. I was really surprised for it to be the real thing.

Very good episode. Totally in the style of the first season. It's neither better nor worse. Just perfect.

Welcome back! We missed you. ^^

I'm...shocked that this is finally out. I must admit, although I was very excited for the second season, I was pretty skeptical if it could live up for the first.

But this episode reassured me. <3. I have to say, it is one of my favourite Haruhi episodes ever made. Young!Haruhi is absolutely adorable and I loved her scene with Kyon.

Good thing I read the light novels, everything looked top notch and it fallowed. I'm glad to have the amazing Haruhi back, hot Kyon and moe Mikuru. I can't believe it's here, I felt numb while watching it. I'm so happy. The only thing is -

what is the fucking set up?
So is this episode 8 or 1 to the new season? I'd like to fallow along exactly the way it's airing but I'm just confused. 4 weeks until the new episode, and during those 4 weeks what is airing? The first season? AHH
