These lyrics don't seem very Haruhi. I mean, I get where they came from, but she hasn't come off as this sappy or flowery before now.

Animation and music are top notch though.

K-on is as pretty to look at as this show, but ironically none of the concert scenes had the same energy.

Like everything in the show it's intentionally left ambiguous and I think it depends on how you view Haruhi as a character. If you think that Haruhi is selfish then the final scene of the episode reveals that maybe she did it only to get praised because she's never done anything that's warranted praise before. I'm inclined to think it's pure coincidence though.

Some interesting parallels between it and Eva 24 imo

This rewatch has led me the conclusion that I done goofed when I failed to put Haruhi at the top of my "best Kyoani" list.

She barely seems to understand what praise feels like, so it'd be odd for her to go out of her way to look for it beforehand, selfish though she is.

Man, these two episodes. I loved reliving these two episodes!

I think that, despite all of her immature pushiness and narcissism, Haruhi never seems like the kind of person who would want another person to suffer for her own amusement or advancement. She is unaware of her own abilities, but she'd never think "I wish someone would get hurt or die, that would be interesting." The circumstances lining up for her in Live Alive (and Remote Island, depending on how you look at it) are just how the circumstances of her will ended up manifesting.

The Computer Club is an exception, but that's okay because they're all a bunch of nerds.

Live Alive is cool because you can see the DNA of at least 3 different KyoAni shows in one episode (K-On, Hyouka and Sound! Euphonium)
