I know that such links usually come up by now... And I have no idea how to navigate any Japanese site without much kanji.

Onizuka-GTO · 2006-04-30, 10:08

Plant42 · 2006-04-30, 10:39

WOW It's looks like next episode will be "The lone island syndrome" Episode .

Vallen Chaos Valiant · 2006-04-30, 10:48

!!!!!

They are airing episode 9 next week!
It's the

Spoiler:

episode.
This means, of course, swimsuits.

It looks like the climax of the first book would be the climax of the first series after all.

USCPharmacist · 2006-04-30, 10:48

This feel like when they show sailor moon in the state....So it'll be the random advanture of Haruhi heheeh

Adigard · 2006-04-30, 11:05

From looking at 4chan, this ep was the photo shoot + alien hunt... sweet ^^

Looking forward to finding the raw bt's shortly, and watching this episode later this evening (going to be away while the ep downloads's T_T)

Keitarou · 2006-04-30, 13:06

Another great episode. As already known we're back to where episode 3 (2) left off last time.

Spoiler:

SlugZilla · 2006-04-30, 13:08

Pretty good episode, although there is a hefty amount of dialogue(which serves to make sense of all the craziness). A few very funny moments with Kyon, where he walks in on an unclad Mikuru(twice), and the cell phone call from Haruhi during his little nap was priceless. He was reading "Gakkou wo Deyou!" by the same author.

Episode 05 Screencaps and Summary

Spoiler:

Kinny Riddle · 2006-04-30, 14:38

Before I can only imagine, now that it's animated......Nosebleeds at Mikuru in bra and panties shot...twice.

The faithful adaptation continues in this "third" episode. Including Haruhi being pissed at Kyon for no reason picking the marked toothpick, ending up going Mikuru and Yuki. She's so cute even when she's sulking. There's a good reason why she's so mad, but you'll have to find that out yourself.

Spoiler for reason:

panzerfan · 2006-04-30, 14:44

The cinematography in this episode is awe-inspiring. The conversation was done in such as way that I was thinking of thought experiment. The Mikuru conversation with water cut in then Koizumi's utterly 'normal' exchange contrasts each other beautifully. Music that is used is also excellent.
Finally, Haruhi's predictament with the formation of SOS comes into full force. Poor Kyon is left as the only point of reference as all of this moves around him. With no comfort in having the answers spoon-fed to him...

We can all then, finally start to delve into the ontological aspects of Haruhi. Now that the worst kept secret of the series is out of the bag...

Leaving that aside, Kyon's using a Motorola V3 lookalike.

Omniscient Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2004	Episode 05 Screencaps and Summary Spoiler: Wow, that was a little overwhelming. Yuki's basically an alien, Mikuru's a time traveler, Itsuki's an esper, and Haruhi is like God. @_@

Kinny Riddle Gone for Good Join Date: Apr 2004	Before I can only imagine, now that it's animated......Nosebleeds at Mikuru in bra and panties shot...twice. The faithful adaptation continues in this "third" episode. Including Haruhi being pissed at Kyon for no reason picking the marked toothpick, ending up going Mikuru and Yuki. She's so cute even when she's sulking. There's a good reason why she's so mad, but you'll have to find that out yourself. Spoiler for reason: It's still debateable, but I believe Haruhi has subconsciously taken a liking to the only "normal" person that would tolerate her eccentricities, though she'll never admit it, and would do all sorts of things just to spite Kyon. Kyon may have an idea, after all, he did save the world at the end of volume 1 through very "cheesy" means, but he also tried not to think too much about it. It's hinted all over the course of the novels. Even the other three SOS members have an idea of how "important" Haruhi values Kyon. Of course Tanigawa-sensei plays them down with great subtlety and they don't develop into any cheesy romance. The greatness of the story is with the dynamic chemistry of the two lead characters, almost Mulder/Scully like (at least in the early X-Files seasons), which borders on the "are they/aren't they" relationship.

dxgarten Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006	Episode 05 Screencaps and summary Spoiler: This is a return back to the end of episode 3. For a Kyon/Mikuru fans like myself, this one is a major treat. The most impressive part of this episode is definitely the cinematography and the music.
