I'm not sure what to think of the new OP's animation yet... My first thought was "not dynamic enough for Haruhi," with lots of white backgrounds or fairly solid single colors; Bouken Desho Desho was constantly focusing on backgrounds, often even moreso than the characters, and I miss that aspect a little.

I'm trying not to be too comparative, though, so I will say I really love Haruhi's smile for her intro shot. It's perfect and stands out to me instantly just like her smile pose in Hare Hare Yukai--the one with her arms folded, looking down on the camera--and captures her just as well, but the different and nicer side of her. No matter how she acts her intentions out, I think of her heart as definitely that of a bright optimist and I like seeing that conveyed.

Other things I liked: the foot-tapping and the comic-style bursts with their onomatopoeia. Very lively and fitting. My favorite scene is Haruhi running with all kinds of math and science floating past her.

No comment on the music because it took Bouken Desho Desho a while to grow on me, so I'll give the same courtesy to the new theme.

I'm not to sure about the new OP either, it's pretty good, but I'm not sure how I like it compared to Bouken Desho Desho.

The ending is really good, I like the song especially, but sometimes it hurts my eyes a little with the flashing and I miss the dancing a little, but other then that it's pretty sweet.

swtrooper42 · 2009-06-18, 17:35

That's the thing with the new OP and the ED, they knew whatever they did they could never make something better then the originals. So they didn't try and went in a different direction with the nakuma approach. I for one love them. Haruhi looks good running in the OP and I like the wind scene from the ED.

Miyuki-ism · 2009-06-18, 18:18

Yea, strobe light! Just the flashing walls hurt my eyes a little and I like the part in the OP where Haruhi and Kyon make their way to their desks.

Jintor · 2009-06-18, 19:09

I don't know if I've seen full quality OP just yet, I think either the video file or my computer is messing with me.

JagdPanther · 2009-06-18, 19:42

So... I'm confused. I just saw this board get added to the Current Series list again. Is this 2009 thingy the second season, basically? I'm confused.

Sorry if this has been hashed already. Delete if needed.

Jintor · 2009-06-18, 19:48

In a word?

Yes.

Something like that. Actually is the old season with 14 new episodes. All in chronological order. You could say that is a new 28 episode season. Today we got the 2nd new episode, which is, actually, the 12th of the rerun.

JagdPanther · 2009-06-18, 19:49

Right. Thanks.

Well, looks like I've got a ton of catching up to do. Yippee. I kinda like watch to this stuff as it comes out. >_>

Oh, that's nice.

So are the "old" episodes fairly similar to the old series? (It'd be even better if they were just remastered versions that were nearly exactly the same ) If I can avoid watching a ton of episodes I'd be really happy.

Thanks for the info. I was really confused as to why it said it was started in April but only two "new" episode topics existed on the list.

Jintor · 2009-06-18, 20:02

Remastered versions that are exactly the same. Well, except for the remastered parts - they're the DVD releases.

The "old" episodes are the DVD versions of those episodes... thus "technically" the whole season is "new" since those episodes haven't been broadcast before.

...what Jintor said.

JagdPanther · 2009-06-18, 20:16

Okay. I guess I can skip over all the old episodes then and not miss *a lot*?

I'll do that, I suppose. Save me a lot of time.

Midonin · 2009-06-18, 20:19

Ah, so there was a new OP. I will eat my own words. Though much like "Tomare!" (and the existence of S2 as a whole), there was no evidence pointing to the fact that "Super Driver" was going to exist until tonight/this afternoon/adjust to your time zone as necessary.

But I am pleased. A new OP and ED means more music for my collection, and I would never object to that.

It was the same with new ED, haruhi-chan ED and tanabata cards in bambooleaf rhapsody.

Sorry, I missed haruhi-chan OP

You can skip it and you will miss very few things, if you miss anything at all (I don't know what are the changes).

But try to understand between which chapters he new one are, remamber that they are not after after all old ones. This week episode (and the next few) are between the Island episode and the Festival. The BLR, the other new episode, is between the baseball and the internet incident.

I've watched the raw. Purty nice, though it would be nice if I could understand it... So, have subs come out?

Just watched the new episode, and I couldn't help but notice this.

Did anyone else notice that the animators made Kyon and Itsuki's crotchlines prominent? Also, Haruhi seemed to pop her butt out a lot. Course it has been a while since I last saw the original 14 episodes, so those could've been in the last set, but still.
