| "Old" Nagato is back... ^^ |
 read from right to left |
GenesisAria said: To some confusion on the "who are you?" (Anata, dare desuka? lit. You, who is/are?) part, if i am not mistaken, this terminology isn't necessarily used the same way we would. It's not only for asking who an unknown individual is, but also in spiritual context. Imagine "Who are you and what have you done with my Yuki?" a common phrase i hear around when someone is making a break of character. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OOCIsSeriousBusiness When someone's entire aura isn't the same as you're used to, not even just the way they're acting that day (if you've ever been around split personality people, this is a very real thing), then seeking to discern who is using the body at that time is sensible. Aside from that, it's cool to see some meta-story come together again. I figured we were looking at old yuki right from when she was sitting on the road. She doesn't seem to have any power or database though, just personality. Here i was expecting this to just be a totally carefree fun show front to back, pleasantly surprised i was. We know know what the title means by "Disappearance" of Nagato Yuki-chan. Interesting way to twist the idea... her normal self disappearing instead of her completely disappearing. When i saw "Someday in the Rain" i immediately knew we were going somewhere, even if superficially (it also made me wonder if i'd missed the titles of previous episodes lol). Will Kyon end up saving stabbed Kyon? Tune in next time and find out! that is a pretty cool idea, but I dont want to see the movie getting spoiled by these shitty graphics. And I dont feel like the Asakuras are the same. Would be a nice OVA however. since this asakura could be pretty shocked by the way Yuki changes. |

| Amazing episode, easily the best episode of this series so far. An enormous change in atmosphere and a great soundtrack to suit it. It's so good to have Yuki back, she just feels far more natural. Her expressions (or lack thereof), reading habits, tone of voice and manner of speaking. Were all the episodes up until now simply to establish the "norm" for this world? I don't know anything about the manga for this and was not expecting this kind of change at all, especially over halfway through the series. This line was pretty amusing because of the irony: |
Mirai, zura~!  |

Asakura in this show is just a good girl with some overprotective attitude to Nagato. I guess she hasn't back to original Asakura yet. yeah I really like her. But she was mostly like this in all the other timelines too. Just that she hasnt focused on Nagato that much. I actually liked her in the original show too. |

| They are doing a good work with this arc. In the manga it was so much fast that something was almost hard to happen. Like in the end of the arc... |
| Sei: "I Know you're thinking about a menage-a-trois. My lord... Kazuko: "Would you like to join them, Sei?" Sei: "I see... That might be interesting." |
| This is where people should start watching, even skipping the foregoing episodes is fine. The atmosphere is amazing, even better than my favourite some day in the rain. The one scene where Nagato just walked out of the door like nothing happened after Kyon touched her forehead, I was cheering. |
Haruhi ism  It's fun, isn't it? |
Comander-07 said: But Yuki did get all flustered in the movie for a moment, similar to the moe Yuki in this series. So it is possible as a parallel reality thing.GenesisAria said: ... that is a pretty cool idea, but I dont want to see the movie getting spoiled by these shitty graphics.

I find this all amusing, because in a way, the original series was secretly more about Yuki than Haruhi (Haruhi was just the centre of attention). For example, the entirety of endless eight was for empathizing with Yuki. And now we get another series that puts her in the spotlight anyways XD |

| Seriousness begins and Nagato has returned OMG Preparing my tissues |
| Very depressing episode yet it was easily the best so far. |
| The ending song was suddenly 10 times sadder than usual. Quite an achievement. Am I the only one that hopes this ends with the announcement of another Kyoani season? |

As much as I want that to happen, I find that unlikely for numerous reasons. Most of which have more to do with KyoAni and less to do with Haruhi |
SmashTheOni said: Great episode. Although I do remember the manga having this moving much faster, with Asakura saying "Who are you?" almost immediately after the incident. I also like that Yuki's spare glasses match that of her glasses from the main series. Also, did anyone else notice the "Someday in the Rain" theme playing with a slightly different notation during the clubroom scene? Man, this was a nostalgic episode. Its better drawn out in my opinion since it adds to the mood. Best episode since the first three. |

| time to edit my score chart for this anime.. |
 |
| wahhh dead-pan Yuki!! <33 I kinda hope she stays this way, moe-shy Yuki is just too weird (even though I'm starting to get used to her) although, I'm guessing there's no supernatural shenanigans behind this, which means original Yuki is still best Yuki. Asakura noticed, but I wonder if Kyon noticed too and was just too polite to say anything |
| Finally things are getting interesting It was getting kinda boring recently, tbh yay o/ |
 |
| Nyeees Nagato speaks French yaiba064 said: What? No. Starting to watch the series here would just be confusing. Nobody would understand why they made such a fuss over Nagato's glasses being different, why Asakura asked Nagato "Who are you?", why Kyon said "She's reading which is rare for her" etc. Skipping a few episodes would probably be fine, but skipping all of the previous episodes would just be stupidThis is where people should start watching, even skipping the foregoing episodes is fine. |

| It is only now the mainstream of history, which in hindsight is realized quite well. Narrative has managed to give the right impression and the soundtrack has contributed to the goal. The designs were not as bad quality, good also the sets, we see how the plot will run until the end; I'm curious. esofdiamon said:  "Who are you?"  "I'm a demon" LOL |
 |
| The Yuki we all know and love is back! I'm not sure how the next episode is gonna go at all. I just wanna know how Ryouko remembers anything (if she does, that is). |

| Tons of background music this episode. Interesting for the alternate universe Yuki Nagato to replace her. Maybe some supernatural stuff will happen. |
 |
| Can't say I was expecting any of this. |
 |
| That was a strange episode. And somehow really hard to watch oO Why did she read french books. Like wtf. And why is Kyon not questioning it >.< |
| Still can't get used to knife girl appearing so much. No haruhi... At least there's emotionless Yuki. |
| Oh boy the atmosphere sure changed drastically, this feels completely the same as the original one! Wow I'm pretty flabbergasted by it! Really looking forward to see what the next 6 episodes will offer. |
 |
| Even I felt awkward listening to yuki's conversations. |
| What a slow episode... not in a bad way, but the atmosphere was straight up suffocating; frankly, this episode was jarring compared to all the previous episodes. I don't even know how to feel about the return of original Nagato. It is nostalgic, but it was also almost difficult to watch. I can't even predict where it'll go from here. |

| daijoubu, mondainai. slow ep, feels like nothing happened but a lot has happened asakura best girl, asakura x nagato all the way no shit sherlock, took you one whole ep to realize nagato is different lol (jk, she probably knew from the start) i don't mind keeping this nagato, but we need some support like haruhi to really make the series shine again (I do have to say that the bgm and the mood buildup is quite nice though) |
  |
| Ok so she now got the personnality from her self in the original world I liked her personnality in the original show because it was in context but seeing her go from " cute, shy and in-love " to " stoic " is weird |
 |
| Well this one was really gloomy. Old Nagato is back and that last question ... It gets interesting |
Zarnaav said: Plot twist : Nagato is actually an artificial human with no emotions created by aliens , what caused her the change wasn't the hit to the head but the glasses . The glasses are aliens who use her as a human interface , the old glasses are actually the real Nagato Yuki while the backup is just an program meant to keep the body alive while doing simple task like eating, talking, etc. Wouldnt make sense since she took off the glasses loads of time and she already switched personalities before she put on the "backup" glasses. Yay back to the Yuki we know ! The setting sure changed really fast though. Was kinda getting bored with the SOL vibe so I'm glad it took this turn. |
 |
| Who are you??? interesting ends episode!!! |
| Haruhi is the only one that is keeping this show alive. |

| Ah shit, I was really enjoying the somewhat silly rom-com. I didn't want this to get serious. |
| The Yuki we know from the main series is here... This is quite mysterious. And Asakura realises this is a completely different person. |
 |
| Lol! Yuki personality at the main series has been posessed into this Yuki. Those awkward slow as hell pace. Its really someday in the rain episode afterall! XD What an interesting way to trigger the real plot of the dissapearance. I am quite surprised, to be honestly, never expected the drama to be involved as a plot driver. Its kinda weird, but understandable with how Asakura and Kyon reaction to Yuki's transformation, especially Asakura that had a gut to speak up. Well .... was i liking this Yuki? I am loving her whatever she was. But, i am kinda feel bad with her situations at these world. I hope she could awakened and came back to her previous personality. Because this universe didn't match up her personality to the nuances that happened before, at all. So, lets see whats they were doing to Yuki's situations, that looks like she might get an intensed care .... |

| That "accident" has affected Yuki, and she seems more like the Yuki from the original series. Will she ever change back? |
 |
| I like both Yuki’s especially the original one, but I don’t think she’ll remain there because they can’t just get rid of the cute/shy Yuki. Even with the return of original Yuki, this episode had a depressing as hell atmosphere. Great episode. |
under”Mebius” is my salvation  |
| Nagato's personality changed because the glasses she uses often got damaged? The ED also changed. Most people around her became silhouettes. Interesting. |
| Did the original come to this universe and take over her body? Seems the same and I can't see it being a student personality shift. Also the face she made when the fireworks was mentioned. Like ugh not that disaster again lmao |
