I agree with Vexx, although I'd rate this one above the baseball episode. The rest of Yuutsu arc could definately be pulled off in two episodes, especially how Kyoani handles the storytelling aspect. I'm worried however, about what kind of story they'd tell if they did go ahead with a second season of Haruhi.
Not the same impact as last episode but still was very fun. A lot of flash but a bit lacking in the character development portion of the show. Then again this episode played straight into my MMORPG flavour of the month...damned sneaky bastards.
objectively, this would be maybe a 7. +1 for great orchestral music, +1 for the fun and timely playing into my bias. So 9 overall, and too bad
melange isn't around 'cause there'd be one helluva recruitment drive for the SOS-dan military wing
Hm, I wonder if I could grab enough people I know to write up a half-assed version of "Day of the Saggitarius"...
