Ok... I'm going to admit some ignorance here. What's the Justin screening?
I have to admit that I thought that the raw
was already out. The reason being this post...

So, if people aren't going to talk about anything else from the raw, why not talk about the art style?
That's partly what I was thinking (under the mistaken view that the raw was already out).

And being a critic doesn't mean saying the same things every week. Why don't you just say "I hate the K-On style" at the start of every episode thread before the show aired to get it over with?

I'm not saying the same things every week. Some weeks I make positive comments on the art style.
And I don't hate the K-On art style, per se. I just don't think that it's good for Haruhi.
I mean - to me - art is a big part of anime. Art is an important part of any visual medium. I don't see where it benefits people to not talk about it at all.

Let me repeat my question; are you going to complain about the art style every week from now on, or are you going to let it go eventually?

I don't
complain about the art style every week - last week, I gave it some compliments.
Here it is:
Artwork and animation were both a bit better this episode. At the very least, I didn't notice much to criticize about it; nowhere near as much as I did last episode. Haruhi looked much closer to her 2006 self here, and in fact had many nice shots. She still looked K-Onified about 25% of the time, but that's a lot better than many episodes this season. The rest of the cast were exceptionally well-animated and positioned. Kyon, Itsuki, Mikuru, and Yuki simply all felt right this episode.
Haruhi conveyed, in art/animation; voice acting; and dialogue; the playful but bossy villainous overlord role quite nicely in this episode. This is precisely how I like to view her.
This is probably the best episode of the year thus far. I'll try to put a more detailed review up on my blog later today, but this is a solid episode - not much to poke fun at here, which is great for everything except trying to make a comedic review of it of course.
This is a 9/10 for me - very close to 10/10, and losing that purely for artwork/animation issues, same as Kaisos.
What's wrong with that review, VCV?
