I loved this. I gave it a 10 because I can't give it an 11.
The OP and ED are both great, but actually unlike most people I prefer the OP over the ED.
And the characters...Kyon is an excellent male lead, about time we had another one! He seems to love talking, too. Haruhi is totally nuts, but she's awesome, and quite cute too. And poor Mikuru, I felt sorry for her
, it looks like that overbearing Haruhi won't stop taking advantage of her for a long while.
I know it's early to say so but I believe this will be the show of the season for me.
