Aye.. in *that* point of the timeline ... Kyon is still ambivalent towards Haruhi. He doesn't *dislike* her but he spends most of his time annoyed by her antics and annoyed that everyone tiptoes around her.
But he *does* find her attractive (he said so right off the bat) and it wasn't like he washed his mouth out after kissing her. They just aren't quite that far in whatever their relationship will evolve to yet. Afterward, she thinks it was some wierd dream she's not sure how to react to (and he wishes it *were* a dream and doesn't want to talk about it). The end of the school festival episode with Kyon and Haruhi shows how it has evolved since then.. and the the "day in the rain" episode ending shows how much farther their relationship has evolved. Yeah, its like watching glacial melt but its moving... (again this is based purely on the anime... the novels take slightly different angles from what I have seen so far)

@arias: That's too bad its not in the anime .... that little sequence would have really helped the display of the evolution of the relationship in the anime. As it is, we have to rely on more subtle clues like his remarks about her in the bunny suit or just the way he looks at her in the latter parts of the timeline when she's happy and excited or wistful and quiet.

It is the chronological wrap-up of the 13 episodes. There is no ending to speak of anywhere, as there is much to see and do yet.

I get the feeling that the author will write enough story to get his characters through to their graduation from high school (much like Azumanga Daioh). |

So which parts of the novel series did the anime cover? I tried looking through the various threads but couldn't find a clear answer.
At first I thought the anime only covered vol. 1, so I printed the fan translation for the prologue and ch. 1 of vol. 2. I quickly noticed that vol. 2 begins where ep 14 in the anime ends, which is of course not chronologically the last event in the anime. A look at these forums revealed that the anime did cover stuff from even later volumes also. So the big question is: Which parts of the novels did the anime not cover? I'm slightly more interested in what happens after episode 9 than any possible events that should have happened in the anime timeline but were not included in it. PS. Not begin able to create new threads in the Haruhi section is bloody annoying. |

And though it is exclusive to the anime ... my understanding is that it was written by the novel's author and so you can probably take it for "canon" information about a snapshot "day in the life" that shows where relationship-wise the characters are at the end of the first season timeline.

Back Again From Haruhiism

ok.........
but still.... i still think it still looks like first novel's last chapter, about the last part where HaruhiXKyon? and the part where Kyon said about her pony tail? then lastly, he said about talking to her about aliens, time travellers and espers.... |

ok now I'm confused... do you mean the last episode of the series? or the episode that portrayed the last segment of the *timeline* (Someday in the Rain). Remember the series episodes are not in timeline order.
After the incident in the "almost got us a new universe" timeline (kiss & ponytail), he did tell her about everything (offscreen)... she said he was just pulling her leg but it gave her the idea for the student-movie's plot and who should play what role.
