I think there are moments in the anime which are rendered in a way to be intentionally jarring or confusing like you're in one place, then another all of a sudden. Perhaps to demonstrate nature of the universe. Perhaps just to add to our befuddlement. Like how we're sometimes unsure if something Kyon said was narrative, internal monologue or dialogue. But yeah, as Wikipedia put it. One of the series' main themes is "deliberate confusion". Along with coincidence/intentional incidents. Like Kyon going out to talk to Haruhi in this episode.

As we know, the Haruhi order of the anime series is : Episode 12 : Live A Live Episode 13 : Day of Sagittarius Episode 14 : Someday In The Rain In Episode 12, we have the cultural festival. In Episode 13, we have the Computer Society visiting SoS-dan, and Kyon going "The only memory I want to retain from the cultural festival would be Asahina-san's fried soba cafe costume" at 05:07. |

Wow.... Three great episodes in a row... SHnY hasn't disappointed me yet.
The songs by Haruhi are great, Mikuru and Tsuruya in waitress costumes are really nice-looking, plus a whole load of stuff that makes the episode funny as well. This episode definitely deserves a 10.

Well, if Kyon doesn't want her, then hell would bestowed upon us. :O
Oh yeah, about that Kyon not thinking about Haruhi's performance during the Cultural Festival on DoS Episode, I've browsed Baka-Tsuki again: Spoiler for What Kyon really said:

In my mind, she got a thrill out of being a big sensation, having everyone cheer her for once, etc. The reason she was embarassed around the band afterwards was that they were thanking her for her kindness, when really, she knew she did it for her ego and felt guilty getting the false praise for the charity that it wasn't. Later under the tree, she was a little upset because the students wanted the *original* group's version, not hers, and realized that as much as she likes to think she can do anything on a whim just by "willpower", devotion and practice can actually do a better job than her. Thus the "what am I doing?" - by always being random, she wasn't becoming an expert at anything and could be eclipsed by effort. (Think the tortoise and the hare. Oh - ha ha - bunny suit!! Wow, could that be more than coincidence?) By the very end, she was back to normal, apparently deciding that she'd keep being her random self and find a way to not fall behind everyone else, even if she didn't know exactly how yet. I can relate eerily well to all of the above. ... except for the bunny suit. |

Firstly, yes, to perform and perform well in front of a live audience is a sensation like no other. Haruhi stepping in out of egotistical tendencies however... Well let's analyse this, we know that our Haruhi is a very talented girl and she is quite capable of doing things herself. In that case, why would she have asked help from Yuki to fill the role of a lead guitarist? Haruhi said so herself that she could perform the guitarist role alongside her singing role if it came down to a pinch but she chose to not risk the performance and have Yuki fill the role instead (16:43-17:20). Now egotistically speaking, a high and mighty person would show off all their skills at any given opportunity right? But we see Haruhi here swallowing some of her pride and asking for additional help. Secondly, the MD dubbing was first presented by Haruhi (13:52), if she were doing this out of egoism, wouldn't she conveniently leave that detail out? I'm sure at the buzz of the moment, the other band members wouldn't notice too much. Thirdly, although her actions are very random to us viewers, she actually plans out her moves beforehand. Take episode 3 for example, after extorting the Computer Research Club president for a computer, she takes out a piece of paper with her previous research of computere model written upon it. She goes on to say that she went around looking for the newest computer models the day before. (ep3 06:45-7:10) Couldn't she have enjoyed her time performing so much that she wants to make a band (which is a "normal" activity)? or have been inspired by ENOZ's persistence and determination (and near futility) to perform against the student council's wishes? Indeed she did return to her old self - explosions of ideas and all, couldn't she have questioned that maybe there's something else that's fun besides playing with Aliens, Time travellers and ESPers underneath the tree? Again, interesting view you have |

Good points, let's see... As the saying goes, she makes things look easy. She jumped in and did a great job singling, so when she deferred to Yuki for guitar, it could seem like she's just being a perfectionist when really she might not be good at all. But no one would suspect that because she nailed the singing so she's not *all* bluster. Sorta like how she delegated some strategy to Kyon in DoS3 - we know she wasn't just being generous, she realized she'd fail so she knew to back off before she racked up the loss. Watch her speech between the two songs - all that apologizing for the limitations of the performace is a thinly veiled attention grab for how much she was able to accomplish in an hour. I should have used the word "random" - you're right, she's not. I mean more that her interests are so diverse - and the time spent on any one thing before moving on is so short - that she doesn't have the chance to do *her* best. She's enough of a natural that she can still usually top most other people, but deep down, she knows that she's nowhere near her potential. (I'm not even thinking of whatever cosmic powers she might turn out to have, I mean in the ordinary sense) The MD dubbing... she seemed surprised and upset later that the fans wanted the original ENOZ recording, which means she must have been expecting an alternative - that her version would be good enough and that people would settle for no less. It seems telling that she announced one thing as a show of generosity for both the fans and the band, yet was expecting to keep the spotlight herself, and was deflated when it didn't work out that way. |
