What I love about this picture is that it's the equivalent of putting a modern-day person in front of a Gutenberg printing press and seeing how they'd react to it.

If you're Kyon I don't know how you could possibly say no.

dailydares posted: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. She doesn't press-gang ENOZ, she doesn't claim the stage in the name of the SOS-dan, she doesn't make it about herself. She's just joyful that not only they managed the song but people loved it then the introduces the band as, well, who they are (starting with the actual members of ENOZ, then Yuki, then herself last), makes a humble apology/explanation, offers to give "real" ENOZ recordings out and then checks with someone else if that's okay rather than just assuming. And then back to the  Of course you've then got the scene outside where it hammers those points home to make sure nobody misses "HEY THIS IS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT HERE, PEOPLE" but it's a bit superfluous if you're paying attention.

I mentioned it before, but I always felt that Live Alive was basically the endpoint for Haruhi as a character in the series. All the little side episodes, the main narrative of her melancholy, were basically all building up to this moment. The fact that it is episode 12 in both broadcast order and chronological order is likely no mistake since the episode serves as a climax for both narratives, at least for Haruhi anyways. It's the closest where we see Haruhi come to embracing the mundane over the supernatural. Everything that comes afterwards serves more to explore Kyon's own motivations, and to a lesser extent Nagato's character and her own relationship to the world and Kyon.

Yeah, it's a little odd that The Day of Sagittarius comes chronologically after Live Alive though.

yeah Sagittarius is kinda sealed off from the rest of the show, you can see it as Haruhi reverting to her personal mean after all the development in Live Alive I guess. I never think of Live Alive as a one-off (I doubt anyone does), it's really integrated into the rest of the story and I agree with everyone who loves it. it's the high point of Haruhi's character, Aya Hirano's performance and Kyoani's animation pre-Disappearance. definite classic. anyway really exciting pair. I forgot how much I love the broadcast order even after talking it up so much Mia Wasikowska fucked around with this message at 16:52 on Aug 29, 2015 |

lots of goofy cg in melancholy 5 if I remember right but for some reason it never bugs me. any koizumi fans should tune in tonight, he's gonna finally start to really turn on. favorite koizumi moments will have to wait for season 2 and disappearance, though.

A bit earlier this time, so that folks with under-stocked bars have time to fix that: the drink of the evening is Pink Gin. 2-3 oz. (60-90 ml for our foreign friends) gin 2-3 dashes Angostura aromatic bitters shake with ice, strain into chilled glass, garnish with a lemon twist. Alternatively, the lazy version that I plan to consume: ice in glass, 2-3 dashes of bitters, gin on top, done. Again, it is expected that if you are able, you prepare and consume at least one while marveling at Haruhi's antics.

Yes_Cantaloupe posted:marveling at Haruhi's antics. yeah Live Alive might've been the high point of her development, but the cool thing about the end of this arc is we get a really clean, clear look at what makes haruhi tick. her flashback in 5 should really make you feel for her, if you don't already. but I'm saying too much! just excited, hope I can live post and not live life today

All I have to drink is straight Kentucky bourbon, but I will have a glass or three while I watch. These two episodes are the last ones of the bunch that I saw years ago, so starting Wednesday it will all be new to me.

Was there ever any definitive story about her getting fired, since she still gets regular voice roles so it kinda seems like one of those stories that people like to rage over (obviously there were a bunch of people online that got mad about her but w/e) It seemed to me like the reason she voiced fewer characters for awhile was because she was busy with that band.

Srice posted:Was there ever any definitive story about her getting fired, since she still gets regular voice roles so it kinda seems like one of those stories that people like to rage over (obviously there were a bunch of people online that got mad about her but w/e) Going off of hearsay, Twitter, and internet postings: -She has a benign pituitary gland tumor that was apparently messing with her pretty bad. She didn't want to have surgery to remove it, because it could permanently gently caress up her voice, so she opted to stop VAing for a while. She announces the tumor in November 2010, is forbidden by her doctor from taking on any new roles in April 2011. -Big to do over the sex thing, as well as other "unlady like" behavior. There was a photo shoot where she "accidentally" wore the halves of a bikini wrong (top on bottom, vice versa), and people roared. She wore what people took to be an engagement ring for a while, and people screamed. A whole bunch of things. You aren't supposed to gently caress with your fans/the media like that, she did went out of her way to mess with their heads. This is throughout 2008-2010, when she's really in the media's eye. -She gets fired from Lantis, her music agency, in May 2011. She doesn't say it, but the idea is that it's because of the tumor and she's wanting to go in a new direction, isn't working as a singer right now, etc etc. The sex thing comes out publicly as the actual reason in a gossip magazine in August 2011, and otaku burn with rage, even more so than they did when she was just messing with their heads. -Wanting a voice acting agency that's better suited to her wants and needs, she leaves Space Craft in August 2011, and is almost immediately picked up by Grick (about 2 weeks later). She resumes voice acting like it's no thing. Celebrity gossip is that she really wants to break into TV, where the real money and fame are, but that market is competitive as hell. She also put out a few singles in 2013. One theory is that the tumor is a complete lie, cooked up to give her a convenient way out of the spotlight until the heat died down, but there's literally no way to confirm that, and anyways, since the Japanese gossip rags found out anyways, it didn't work.
