That was sooooooo funny XD Too much great scenes, cant count them all..

Favorite was when Kyon wanted to drink asahina's unfinished green tea but Haruhi takes it away as if she was jealous.

Awesome episode! Loved their reaction, when they all got the sheet of paper with the roles XD Koizumi being the esper, Mikuru the Time traveler and Yuki the evil Alien-Magician.
So far, 2 chapters and the beginning of the third chapter of "Sigh" have been animated. I think, that they'll do Sigh for 4 or 5 episodes, as the Novel has 5 chapters.

Tha animation has improved significantly from the last episode of K-ON! Haruhi. This one had more of a Clannad animation, which is good.

I was surprised at the beginning when Kyon was starring at Haruhi while thinking to himself and when she noticed she looked towards him ( towards the screen ) and smiled. That was cute. I thought she would say "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT!"

How the... wah? What the heck? How does Haruhi knows that the dual guns should be shot alternately? Anyway it seems that they just copypasted the store comercial scene (Audio) from The Adventures of Asahina Mikuru 00 of the first season. Still annoying the animation a la K-On!, its just obnoxious. But well; the way Tomokazu Sugita relates the story redeems a bit that fact.

Good episode. Haruhi stealing Kyon's indirect kiss was classic and it was nice to see that jealousy again. I was dissapointed though that we didn't get to see what happens when mikuru uses her mikuru beam. Oh well, it will have to be in the next ep. I swear if they drag this story out to 4 eps all hope will be lost. I was expecting it to be over today. Oh well. I'm sure they are saving up for soemthing awesome. (i hope i hope i hope)

Kyon just wanted to protect Mikuru from Haruhi's "idiocy", so he's still in SOS.

LOL I practically laughed/choked when Kyon asked for the script and was answered with "It's all right; it's all up here!"

Edit:
Got through the rest of it. LOL at thinking the script might get leaked. That contact seemed to have Mikuru in pain. What a horrible director. "Can't over think these things"

You know why Haruhi franchise is better than most animes? Because, the way characters interaction/direction is done is highly enjoyable to watch. I really love this. Anyway, great episode.

Besides, this episode was handled by animation director Chiyoko Ueno (eps 15,21) and If rota of teams won't change, next episode should be Handled Kazumi Ikeda (ep 16). So we can expect very high quality episode. Since episode 16 quality was top notch.

If it's less than 4 episodes that would be rushing it. I'd personally like to see 5, one episode per chapter. The Sighs story is a slow build up to some important turning points. It shoudl be getting better starting with the next episode. The first two chapters in the book were indeed nothing special. Can't really change that if you want to do it right.

However I liked the scenes where they were filming the commercials a lot. They reanimated the scenes we saw in ep 0 with a flipped perspective.

What were they supposed to do, change the dialog? I thought it was funny to see Haruhi and Kyon's reactions during filming. I'm liking Sighs so far

Best episode so far that accomplishes to revive the excitement from 2006. Next week, when the climax reaches, should be pretty fun if they can follow this storytelling style.

I'm still aggravated by the k-on style on the chars, but I suppose it cannot be helped anymore. On the other hand, the voices, the music and the backgrounds were top notch.

I can't really put it into words how much I enjoyed this episode

Haruhi's casting list scene was very cool, she gave everyone his right role(Alien,Esper and Timetraveller)

Haruhi's and Kyons's comments were also very cool

No, you'd be surprised how many people dislike her. As for me? She's definitely one of my favorite characters because she's so unpredictable and obnoxious and Kyon's reactions to her are priceless.

In short, those two are the reason why I watch this anime and enjoy it so much.

I thought that this was a very enjoyable episode...

"I'll put a commercial in the movie, so give me a camera."
"Alright, here you go."
"That's probably how the conversation with the owner went, summarized in 5 seconds."

Those lines made me think of the Endless Eight, for some reason XDD

Can't wait for the next episode!

This was a very enjoyable episode, I could actually feel the magic from first season.
Not much of an action, nothing important really happened, but their conversations were so funny. "It's still a secret" xd
And the indirect kiss - cute :3

Very funny episode, and we have to commend the voice actors too. Direction was quite nice as usual, especially the flipped perspective from the Mikuru commercials (compared to episode 00).

It was a bit more funny and more interesting than last episode, but still nowhere near the level of season 1.

It's more or less enjoyable though to actually see the shooting of the first Haruhi episode ever aired.

I am thinking about what Haruhi said about awakening potential power and Kyon repeated that line, referring to Haruhi herself, again later when you can see a balloon in the sky, which was white at first, then turned into orange color? Is it odd or I am thinking too much?

My speculation: (note I haven't read any novels or such, so no spoiler alert :) )
Since Haruhi loves this movie they are filming so much and she already gave each SOS member a role of what they actually are (plus the fact Koizumi mentioned something about Haruhi would never mix up reality and fiction)

Could it be that Haruhi really did mix up reality and the fiction world this time?

If so, I am guessing up to the scene of white balloon, it is still real. Then the orange balloon indicates that the world is altered already.... (anxiously waiting for next episode)

Haruhi must subscribe to the Michael Bay school of direction, though I'm betting she's probably a lot easier to work with.

The K-ONish character designs gotta go.

I'll give you a hint. You watched season one correct? Go re-watch the finished movie episode if you want to find out if your speculation is correct.
