Thanks but no thanks. I myself will watch this episode 15498 times to achieve the same effect.

Well, its great for us who loved the Ontology Thread, the OP has significant meaning. Just look at the road sign with the infinity symbol.

ULTIMATE TROLL.

Wait a gosh-darned second.

Isn't that the "Groundhog Day" arc in which the same afternoon is repeated for years?

Well, at least we now know for sure there will be a new episode next week (at least most of one).

And generic OP is generic... I'm a bit disappointed.

I was fairly sure it would be done in two episodes. It's a decently long story with a clear break near the middle. I thought they would end the episode after they revealed what was up, though.

I don't mean the background text. I mean the whole school part with the names and them walking up the hill is just a "what are they trying to poorly parody here?" or "just how cheap was this to make?" There is also the clearly reused piece of animation straight out of S1 in the school.

[Starry Dust]

Gawd, I'm in love with the new OP *___*

I personally find it way better than the first, plus it has awesome snazzy effects.
I'm digging it.

Watching it in YouTube HD, that's actually not entirely old animation, it's the same scene reused though. But it's too close to the artstyle of the new episodes for it to be completely old animation.

Awesome! Thank you KyoAni for the mathy stuff. I'm watching the background equations... Gotta see if a heat transfer eqtn got thrown in...

(edit) Bah, just standard model physics stuff. =P

Yeah, though it's the same 2 weeks (albeit with variations) for over half a millenium.

[C.A.]

We need someone to spend their time and make a full post of all the terms relating to the characters and free flying terms, then post it at the Ontology Thread.

Haruhi has 'Closed Space', Kyon had 'Key for everything' among a bunch of other terms and phrases, the others as well.

During the chorus the largest letters makes me think that maybe each character can be represented by a particle and they all combine to form the SOS-particle lol

Mikura has "fighting waitress" and "TPDD".

Well, I've often wondered if there was any significance to Kyon and Muon being somewhat linked...

[baltakatei]

Kyon's cell phone model has stayed the same. No date was shown this time.

Spoiler for Kyon's cell:

What aired today.


What aired in Melancholy IV.

[Driger]

Haruhi---Red
Mikuru---Orange
Yuki------Purple
Itsuki----Green
Kyon-----Blue

It was the same with new ED, haruhi-chan ED and tanabata cards in bambooleaf rhapsody.

They're really playing up the whole sentai/nakama concept, which is one of the themes of the show anyway.

[Ithekro]

I guess there suit/mecha colors have been decided already by Haruhi.

Come to think of it, with the exception of Mikuru and Yuki, aren't these the colors of their space ships and uniforms? (Mikuru got poka dot ships with a pink uniform while Yuki got white ships and uniform)

"Purple and Orange squadrons?"

[Dakota]

Well, the Endless Eight RAW is starting to be kicked around.

*anxiously awaiting subs*

[C.A.]

I'm not sure if these colours will stay, because all Haruhi merchandise already had official colours for all of them.

Red = Haruhi
Light Blue = Yuki
Yellow = Mikuru
Green = Tsuruya-san
Pink = Imouto-chan
Lime Green = Kimidori
Purple = Itsuki
Dark Blue = Kyon

Actually, going by the Image Song covers, Kyon is Yellow and Ryoko is Dark Blue.

Oh lol, my brain cells must be dying fast, even my Haruhism memory sector is collapsing.

The colours also apply to the official fanbooks, Maxfactory and Goodsmile Company's figures.
