The pacing, by Haruhi, the pacing. I have no complaints about the quality of the production at all, but the way the story is paced... Well suffice to say that far too many developments occurring one after another at relatively so short a period of a time does not make for a satisfying viewing. The Ishida-voiced NPC for example just felt tacked on, and the 10-minute infodump about the mechanics of the afterlife they were in did not help any.
