She sure didn't hold back a little later, when she started repeatedly beating Mikuru over the head with it. Then she was in full monster mode, and that was when Serious Kyon rode to the rescue.

I just realised something.
Remember in The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina Episode 00, the camera was panning up and down after the Mikuru Beam and when Yuki was raping tackling Mikuru? Take a closer look at Kyon's hand movements (specifically the one holding the camera) in that same scene in this episode. |

That he stops recording after the flash and then starts up again is interesting. He's also still zoomed in. His hand motions with the camera fit just about perfectly with what we see in the finished product...also Haruhi walks around Mikuru and Yuki so that when she comes into camera in the film, she comes in from the left size, even though the director's chair was off camera to the right. An accurate recreation of something they animated three plus years ago, from a completely different angle.

But, you call what we saw in Clannad a K-ONified element too? Every time people say K-ON in Haruhi threads , I didn't get the point and was confused, but I'm getting the idea of it now. K-ON itself doesn't matter, right?

Yeah...as mixed as my feelings for this franchise have always been my opinion of it has never been as low as it's been these past couple of months. This episode doesn't really change that feeling much (at least it's not E8 wore off quickly) and frankly none of the new episodes have really been anything other than decent time passers so far. I could at least point to some episodes of the original run that were exceptional, but it seems that recently any and all creative notions and artistic (in the intellectual sense) have truly left this production duo behind. Disappointing outside of the fanservice and moe as usual for Neo-Kyoani.

It's not all bad, but I do wish that the art consistency could be maintained. For example, in this episodes, there were parts that were very VERY close to the 2006 airing in terms of style, then in the next scene they change back to the newer KyoAni style.

I finally started picking this up again and watched Sighs. And I have to say, I like it. Yes, it's quite good.
Those were my reactions: Spoiler:
So I rated Sighs I with 7/10, Sighs II & III with 8/10. Last edited by Takamura Mamoru; 2009-08-30 at 14:22. |

This is Sighs. It is the absolute worst, most boring part of the source material outside of Where Did the Cat Go (and as much as I love that story, I'll admit that much). There honestly isn't much they can do with this story aside from what they're doing already. This isn't like Live Alive or DoS where they have artistic freedom~ to work with. This is still infinitely better than the original novel. And that's KyoAni's doing. But wait. You complain about everything that KyoAni makes regardless of its qualiy. |

If Kaioshin hasn't read the novels, I can understand him being a bit non-plussed, but this really is an outstanding job of taking a part of the source material where almost every central character is at his or her worst, and making it pretty enjoyable instead.

Mmh, the plot of Sighs may not be interesting, but I think certain scenes help the character development and there's a lot of great dialogue. I'm definitely enjoying it and don't think KyoAni is doing a bad job (except for the art/animation).

It's not up to S1 quality but then again I feel a lot of you are rose-tinting S1 quality anyway (apart from backgrounds, they almost always rocked). New style is different in its own way, that way being moe-ness, which I can appreciate that not everybody likes but hell - I like K-On Kyon.
