I can hold a pen there, but Haruhi can talk while she does it, which is a clear indicator of supernatural power.

If I do it, I just end up looking like Yui.



Thank you.

Watching tonights episodes now instead of tomorrow, the next episode is one of my favourites even if nothing happens.

Someday In The Rain is the best non-Endless Eight episode of the series precisely because nothing happens

It very thoroughly communicates what the show is 'about' i.e. that it is 'about' trying to keep oneself occupied with endless anime antics in the mounting face of adolescent adriftness, loss of grand narrative, and post-modern anomie. The framing in that episode is absolutely sublime

I watched them just now. I really want to hear about the reasoning of watching in this order.

And by the way I'm watching this the second time now and am enjoying it way more than the first time.

The next episode owns as well for two completely different reasons.

The copout answer is that KyoAni adapted something that doesn't have a particularly strong metanarrative thrust to it so they had to give it one. If you watch season 1 in chronological order the climax/final broadcast episode comes sixth chronologically and the rest of the pieces are relatively none too interesting SoL episodes. There's a lot more to it though specifically having to do with metanarrative..

I maintain Haruhi looked way better with her long hair/no buns from the first episode than she does with her supposedly iconic look.

No joke, that trick with Yuki removing the censor bar/book from the side of the shot when Mikuru's changing clothes for the second time is a legitimately great bit of composition.
