And the movie is 2 hr 42 min? Isn't that almost 7-8 regular episodes? I can't understand why that one volume in the series would take so much longer. Is it considerably thicker than the other volumes?

1.) Chronologically, The Disappearance(novel 4) is after all the 2006 episodes(and the 2009 episodes). Of course, they had to air Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody before they showed Disappearance since BLR is quite important to the plot of Disappearance.
2.) Yes, the movie is long, but it is well-paced for such a long movie. The novel is actually the shortest of all the novels, but it is one of the few one-story novels(Melancholy, Sigh and Intrigues are the other novels with one story. The three novels of Dissociation and the first and last part of Surprise all encompass one story as well). Disappearance also has some of the most plot of all the novels and marks a turning point for Kyon(and for Yuki too).
