It's more... well, you know. (The Mortality of Haruhi Suzumiya sounds fascinating, actually.) |

I've always thought that Haruhi just wants to visit Kyon's house or do something that Kyon actually wants. Kyon doesn't seem to be all that enthusiastic for any of the events Haruhi has set-up.
So basically she just wants to spend time with Kyon on something that Kyon actually wants to do. Having a chance to visit his house and helping him do something makes her satisfied for the summer.

He'd be happier if his sister was huge...but then she's be more like Mikuru....
Actually he seemed happiest when the girls are showing off their new clothes. In each version he's very happy about Mikuru's choice. (ranging from "Good, very good" to "Excellent").

I think it's fairly obvious that Small Mikuru is innocent, though. No one can keep up an act that long. Unless they were brainwashed. |

You know, I was watching Mikuru episode 00 again and I noticed something I hadn't before. In the novel Yuki manages to stop all the pellets Mikuru's toy guns shoot at her....I haven't noticed that in the episode she's deflecting them with her wand. I'd thought they had just had it so there was nothing coming out of the guns. I guess having the volume up a little more than I usually have it helped as I could hear the pellets deflecting, then I looked closer and you can see the impacts on the wand.

Though, we can generally take Kyon's insights about other people as true, unlike his statements about himself. *cough*VN*cough* |

Hehehe, that might work, but as a loop-breaker it would be in both Haruhi's and Kyon's memories for the rest of the franchise, possibly requiring endless tweaking of dialogue forevermore to, uh, acknowledge!
(Also it would need to be fan-animated - remember I'm defining fan-fixing as clever minimal re-dubbing/subbing of existing footage, though I suppose we could be flexible if there are any animators with time on their hands lurking among the fanbase ) Quote:

When I read the source as I translated that part of the novel (well, the whole of Rampage), I was not really able to point a definite reason as to why homework is so crucial. All of my reasonings fall into subjective view and as such are really from my own bias.
(Actually, I was thinking more than anything else that I was reading a 'hen' of Higurashi to be honest) I do not like run of the mill fixing since some things that Tanigawa has written are meant to be cryptic and open to interpretation. I think I would enjoy a very well argued discourse that is flanked by chalk full of quotation instead...

About the summer homework.
Normally I'm the advocate for avant garde theories, and I like the one about Haruhi's intent on time looping is motivated by Kyon's unfinished business. She is known to be an astute observer, and this is a harem romantic scifi teen comedy. However, adding my $.02 to the obvious and previously mentioned, homework copying is a well established "tradition" for the final days of summer, and Haruhi was hell bent on experiencing all summer traditions. It's inferred that her personality precluded any real friends before, at any school stage, and SOS being the first time she ever got any peer fun. [Just to indicate how old I am.] In Urusei Yatsura there's this part of Mendo about to experience instant ramen for the first time in his life, and the whole hoopla surrounding that. This homework thing for Haruhi is kind of like that. |
