What about sighs?

I would say that is definately the worst instance.

[Kogetsu Shirogane]

I'd say groping the poor girl after abducting her is far worse, but that's just me.

I think Haruhi likes playing with Mikuru to sabotage her image in front of Kyon and get attention. Not because she actually sexually likes it.

I'm not completely sold on Haruhi being bi-sexual or bi-"curious" either. It's certainly possible that she is, but it's also possible that Haruhi just likes touching Mikuru suggestively in order to get the girl into blushing, shy, ideal moe mascot mode.

... Mind you, I've played around with the idea of a Haruhi/Mikuru fanfic.

Times change, but it was Haruhi that began the fondling in front of Kyon, and the costume changes, and the one who wanted to do the photo shoot(s) with Mikuru. First time with just the maid outfit...look how happy Haruhi looks even while Kyon is trying to pull her off of Mikuru. The second time, she sends Kyon on a mission so that she can play with her toy without his interference (DVD extra photo shoot in December).

[Kogetsu Shirogane]

Er... yeah, I'm not arguing in favor of HaruhixMikuru. Just stating that the logic being used against it is flawed. While she probably doesn't get any sexual pleasure out of molesting other girls, she also doesn't necessarily do it for the sake of ruining Mikuru's image.

I highly doubt Haruhi is bi-sexual. She probably only stated that for attention. I do think she likes playing with Mikuru, after all she is the Moe Mascot of the SOS brigade. In Sighs she calls her "my toy" (Possible she didn't actually mean this and was just yelling back at kyon desperately trying to counter his words while she was confused and upset).

Spoiler:

After Sighs Haruhi stops playing with Mikuru as much because she is scared of making Kyon angry and losing him again.

Haruhi loves her Moe Mascot but over time begins to mellow out and realise she can't abuse her like that.

Certainly up to a point i would argue she does it to ruin her image or get her away from Kyon. Whether that is the sole reason is up for debate.

The anime version of Mikuru's introduction to Hell first encounter with Haruhi is rather toned down.

Spoiler for Just in case:

In the Melancholy novel, Haruhi's well on her way to sticking her hand down Mikuru's skirt and getting to know her in the Biblical sense before Kyon stops her.

Spoiler:

There is quite a lot of cases so far in the anime where is it definately toned down. I guess it is to attempt to make her character more likeable or somthing...Which is sort of dumb because i loved her character in the novels. Maybe some people hated it.

[Kogetsu Shirogane]

In the case of that scene... I think it's because it goes a little too far for television. But yeah, that's actually what I was referring to. Of the things we know, that's probably the worst thing she's done to the poor girl.

Actually a lot of other Anime which have been aired on TV have done much worse and gotten away with it.

Must be being cautious or somthing.

[Kogetsu Shirogane]

Given how regularly Mikuru goes through that sort of thing within just the stories in the '06 airing, I'd say it would've been too much to leave the scene as it was.

Heh probably.

It's a pity really. I loved those scenes. I guess it's just trying to make Haruhi seem better all around so people don't rage at the end.

[Kogetsu Shirogane]

... I wonder what would happen if Kyon would, while feeling suicidal, yell "Haruhi is BI!" It's not like it'd be entirely untrue, given her description of what she'd be looking for in a relationship.

[Archon_Wing]

I don't think she'd care, since in the first episode she said she didn't care about things like gender in relationships as long it was interesting, if i remember it correctly. Which is consistent with her behavior.

[Kogetsu Shirogane]

That's actually what I was referring to when I said it wouldn't be entirely untrue.

[Archon_Wing]

Yea, so I don't think she'd have a reaction if Kyon yelled out she was Bi. ;p

She'd probably cross her arms over her chest, give Kyon a Look(tm) and say:

"Yeah? What about it?"

Then she'd give him an even more pointed look and glance oddly at Koizumi.

[Kogetsu Shirogane]

I was actually meaning while they were in class.

*e* Of course, this really has nothing to do with Mikuru now...

Well from the way Haruhi acts towards Kyon i would say she isn't Bisexual. She probably only said "i don't care if it's a boy or a girl" for attention. She thinks if she widens the area of her search she has a better chance of finding someone out of the ordinary.

Certainly

Spoiler:

By Book 9 there is NO WAY Haruhi is even remotely bisexual since she pretty much is devoted solely to Kyon at that point

I don't think she is necessarily bisexual either, only that it simply isn't an issue for her nor does she care what anyone thinks about it. As for her dealings with Mikuru, she's really just playing around... well that's what she thinks
