 gifs! And ventriloquism!One of the things I liked about this was how much more becomes obvious on later viewings. For instance, Kyon not being very subtle about getting Mikuru's chest in front of the camera. Mikuru really has a bad time with the movie, doesn't she? Even her pal Tsuraya can't take her at all seriously.

The baseball episode holds up pretty well. I like seeing the extended gang. Did you guys pick up on Haruhi's crush on your first time through? I think the clues are there at this point in the series but it was a nice little surprise seeing all of them, and it's obvious, once you go through in chron order.

Ferretts posted:The more I think about that scene (and some others) the more Haruhi appears the straight sociopath. I think sociopathy implies some sort of conscious effort in being heartlessly manipulative, but she just seems more ignorant than anything. Though I suppose even if the show is named after her, she's kind of the antagonist in many ways.

Raskolnikov is also young and stupid, though not AS young but probably MORE stupid but I will drop it as I was just kind of thinking out loud anyway. Kyon is clearly Sancho Panza though.

Holy poo poo, the SAclopedia still exists? It's like a museum! No Haruhi entry, kind of surprisingly. I didn't watch any of this stuff back then but there were banners and avatars everywhere for it.

In Training posted:Yeah it's 8 episodes with nearly identical dialogue but otherwise completely different. It's incredibly cool. But it's still one of those things I like much more in theory than in practice. They could've gotten the point across in half the episodes without really losing anything. If I was watching it live I absolutely would have lost my poo poo too. Though even in spite of all that, the last 5-10 minutes of the arc might be some of my favorite scenes in the entire series, so it's hard to be too mad about it. Actually, it's premature to talk about it now, I guess--here comes Nagato to bonk us on the nose--but I definitely look forward to hearing what people say about it when we get there in the watch.

dailydares posted:This notion is ridiculous--art that works with repetition works specifically with time and duration and perceptions shift and meanings are gained and created (or lost and destroyed) for the longer that things go on. I hope you are right and I am willing to be convinced, but let's wait until we get there.

Good stuff. And in the extended universe (or whatever you'd call it) I really like that Asakura is more or less the MVP of both -chan series. So why does Haruhi kind of freak out when Kyon wakes up? Because she's been hovering over him... doing what exactly? Taking pictures? At least he's too dumb to figure it out.

Spiritus Nox posted:So, is the Disappearance of Yuki Nagato any good? I just stumbled across some stuff talking about it, and I might be down for a Yuki-centric show if it's not all Rei-clone fanservice. It has some good moments but it's pretty boring. Not a ton of fan service, but there is some. The change in art style takes some getting used to.

So... Favorite episodes or scenes from the first season? Obviously everyone loves the climax of Melancholy VI. But:  SHUT UP SHAMISEN always makes me smile. Sagittarius has been my favorite ep for a while but I will admit Live Alive is a new contender after this rewatch.

In Training posted:Also in Melancholy II when Kyon visits Nagato he tries to open the room and she stops him. Or he gazes longingly at the door, or something. 3 years before they even had the idea of animating that episode. This is one of the reasons I can't help but love this show, even though I think S2 is a big step down. KyoAni just puts so much care into the animation and planning.

I am hoping to mine the old thread for fun E8-related stuff between now and tomorrow, but let me know if it gets annoying and I'll stop. It all starts with a post right after Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody, where some attentive fans put together their best guesses for what the new Season 2 eps would cover. quote:May 21 ep08 Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody (New) Well...

No Tsurayahair on Yuki please. Also, I was going to start quoting the 2009 live thread while this was going on but it's a pain in the rear end to quote out of the archives. But if you get a chance you might want to look at it as the thread participants slowly lose their minds. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3141091&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=8

Six Years Ago posted:Did they just decide to remove all the interesting parts from this episode or something? They seem to have covered everything from the book except the (book 5 spoiler) revelation that the events of this episode been on an endless loop with minor variation for centuries, with only Yuki being consciously aware of it (and they also changed the ending since they actually removed all the conflict from this episode without that revelation.)

Six Years Ago posted:The most brilliantly trolling thing about this was all the speculated spoilers simply glazed over this story, assuming it'd finish in 1 episode and focus on Disappearance. But when that came out, NO ONE said there'd be three or more episodes, everyone said two. Then when that came out, NO ONE said there'd be four or more episodes, everyone said three. So I will call it here. Next episode will be drastically different, but they will still fail, going onto episode 5.
