I don't see a big difference in animation quality compared to the old episodes. It's also difficult to compare animation quality because there wasn't a lot of action in this new episode anyway. Character designs have changed just very slightly towards a more moe sort of style. One thing however which struck me visually as different to the first original episodes are increased shots with fisheye camera angles and higher viewpoint angles in general, a technique which KyoAni also frequently uses in K-On.

I'm not calling you a troll

I'm saying the real subs are out, not referring to the troll subs by coa****s or sh**-*x (this might be a raw instead of a troll, but I'm not sure).

And in Clannad and Kanon as well.

They've been doing that SINCE Haruhi, really. To be expected.

I need to rewatch the old episodes, but from memory, I agree with you that I don't see any big difference, or noticeable ones, in animation design.

KyoAni = creative camera angles, so no surprises there. For someone who hasn't watched K-On (the TV broadcast image quality does no justice), I don't notice any difference from the first season.

On another note,

Spoiler for Nagato:

It's legit, but I don't know about the accuracy of the translation.

Maybe we should now move this into Currently Aired Series Section since S2 is finally out.

LOL this was the exact same thing my on mind as well the moment I opened the file

Btw, Live-Evil & Dattebayo have subbed this... dunno if any downloads have been complete yet though.

Anyway, did anyone count how many times Kyon said "kawaii~~" during the ep?

Execution was good imo. For some reason I pretty much PREDICTED/EXPECTED that the episode's break/half-way mark would be at the first sighting of middle school Haruhi... actually, it wasn't hard to guess

Ah man, this makes me feel like re-reading some old chapters now

Off-topic: Random thought, I'm sure someone has probably already mentioned this though...
I'm GUESSING Lucky Star will be eligible for Saimoe2009 (via the OVA). If we're not gonna be getting anymore Lucky Star anime, then this means that this year will be the only year where the Lucky Star cast and Haruhi case can be in the same Saimoe tournament... lol its gonna be mayhem, can't wait

Just watched it, and loved it. The new OST is very refreshing.

No, I haven't read the novels. Now I'm too scared to read them.

Rice_slayer · 2009-05-21, 19:50

The one on Mininova(torrent site) is legit, I will watch it but will DL better subs later

I think that's Episode 1. (Ah, my mistake. So they're referring to this as Episode 1. Numbering systems drive me crazy.)

Lucky Star vs Clannad vs K-On vs Haruhi. Hmm.

They're too great to not read. You should read them.

Support Yen Press and Little, Brown by buying the books when they come out, also.

This is Episode 8 of the new season.

Can't wait until the [Yuki] fansubs come out, if ever.

Grabbed the subbed [mazui] version. Well the subs made things a lot more clear and more enjoayable. My understanding of Japanese is really not good enough yet to figure out the full drift of an episode.

From what I've seen, yes. It's considered licensed.

Not I think. There is no announcement of a deal to secure the addendum to the original episodes yet...
