No complaints there.
Do you mean Kyon's acting like "La la la laaaaaa! Mikuru is the bestest thing evar! I mean, look at her beautiful brown/red hair! Her pitiful face! Her entire moe complexityyyyyyy! I worship you and the ground you walk on! etc!" ?

Because I thought that was always there, and if it wasn't it annoys the hell out of me.

No, I mean, they added some stuff about him wanting to take her home, etc.

Making his desires seem more base than just pure idol worship. I liked that.

No, he is using hyperbole.

Well obviously. But that sounds a bit too much.

Great, now Kyon's turned into Rena Ryugu :P But, wouldn't thinking about taking someone home be WORSE than just describing them to percise detail? Sounds stalker-ish to me.

@Kogetsu: not THAT much, but it does annoy me. Like, Kyon hating Itsuki because Mikuru fangirled over him in Melancholy among other reasons.

Exactly, which is what makes it funny.

Kyon hates other men. You haven't realized this yet from how he treats all his male friends, Koizumi, and Fujiwara? (Though the latter two kind of deserve it...)

I'm still in the latter parts of Novel 6, so I don't know much about Fujiwara other than he's a time-traveller (if I recal correctly) and that Kyon calls him a "Sneering Bastard." And I figured him not exactly liking Kunikida and Taniguchi was because they're kind of low on the intelligence hierarchy.

Well, T&K aren't stupid per se. They're just total idiots with no sense of responsibility. You know, normal teenagers.

You'd think he'd treat Kunikida, who he's known for years, better, but...


And yeah, Fujiwara is, well, basically Evil Koizumi.

Well, how does Kyon treat Sasaki since she's a female and he's known her for years?

With respect. Because she's a good looking girl and he used to have a crush on her though he won't admit it.

What about Mr. Arakawa and the two brothers in the Lone Island chapter? I'm sure he respected them since I don't remember that many bad remarks about them?

They're older than he is.

He tends to have no respect whatsoever for males his age. Probably because, subconsciously, he thinks they'll steal the harem he's somehow managed to gain.

In all fairness, it's not just guys that Kyon treats like crap. He's just a little nicer about it with girls. Because he's a guy and thinks with his pants.

Which is why Kyon is hilarious.

. . . Hopefully it wouldn't come down to Kyon killing everyone who comes close to finding out about it in order to keep it a secret... he'd end up killing Nagato shortly afterwards...

Before or after Kyon gave a soliloquy(sp?) on how Mikuru was subtly crying at Kyon's cruel heartedness and quivering at every move that Itsuki and Kyon made?

EDIT: Regarding Kogetsu's comment; We're making this turn into Higurashi more and more by the minute...

I'm pretty sure Kyon would be smarter than to kill him when witnesses are around.

Did you see how he acted in Sigh? He was ready to sock Haruhi and Itsuki WHILE FILMING.

Those plans never work. The airship always ends up in flames and you lose your hat.
