Or they are saving budget (time) so they can animate more intense scenes, or more critical scenes in time for the episode to air. There are scenes in this arc that will require Kanon/CLANNAD or better quality to pull off...or at least to match the 2006 version of the same scenes...without the camera effects.

I'm pretty sure that people who bother to not use stock footage for episodes that are basically the same, have some (probably even excessive) artistic pride, and aren't the most likely victims of decadence. I tend to think that they are rather preserving their budget for something next (I'm among the ones who think there will be a "true" second season after this "re-airing").

I think the E8 controversy has helped the series (everyone was talking about Haruhi. The attention whoring paid off), and this summer has been a good interlude. They will absolutely have to increase their budget for Disappearance. In my opinion it's the strongest story in the series, with the most memorable scenes not being action filled, but rather very expressive with the depth of the characters and emotional significance. In other words, the characters have to blink regularly. I hope the fans in Japan demonstrate to KyoAni how much Haruhi is anticipated and how much quality it requires from the studio. I want Tanigawa to be able to finish this series to its best potential. |

Kyon was looking at Yuki's book. She is not reading one of her usual science fiction books. She is reading "Jung and Astrology" by Maggie Hyde.

Ok, I don't know if any of you have noticed this, but take a look at the writing on the headbands that everybody in the SOS-dan are wearing at the sports meet. Each one is a joke about the character wearing it.
Haruhi: ko-haru-hi-yori ("Fair Spring Weather"--notice that the second and third kanji make up "Haruhi") Koizumi: read as ko-i-zu-mi, though the meaning of the characters is different from the ones that his name are written with. Nagato: oku-man chouja ("one who has 100,000,000 times 10,000"--in other words, a trillionaire--reckoned in yen, a trillion yen is about US$8-11 billion these days) Notice that the third kanji is the same "naga" as in "Nagato". Mikuru: Zen-jin Mirai--"Predecessor from the future"--note that the kanji "rai" in "Mirai" (future) can be read "kuru", so "Mirai" can be read "Mikuru"--yes, this makes Mikuru's name a pun for "future". Kyon: Seigi Ippatsu--"Justice by a hair's breadth" (i.e. the good guys win by the skin of their teeth)--this is the only one that is not a reference to the character's name, but then again we don't actually know Kyon's full name. However, the idea of winning by a hair's breadth fits in with Haruhi's desire to win while still feeling challenged, and Kyon's feeling that they cut it way too close much of the time. |

Well, there's not really much to say about this episode aside from the sense I'm getting that it just doesn't have quite the same amount of energy that I'd expect out of a Haruhi episode. I really do hope that it builds up to something better though, and by better, I mean get it so that I can feel a rush of excitement since this one just feels more humdrum. Even the first episode of Endless 8 had more energy than this and that was mostly a slice of life moment more than anything else.

""Justice by a hair's breadth" (i.e. the good guys win by the skin of their teeth)" = simply put as a close win? (that race wasnt really so close ) |

I think it's more specifically Haruhi's opinion of Kyon. Like in "Day of Sagittarius" or "The Boredom"--she expects them to win, but most importantly she expects Kyon to be the one to do it, which he often does just barely.

Yea, I watched the episode and well I thought... well I didn't have any reaction whatsoever. It's not horrible, but it's kinda just there. The only thing that was funny was Haruhi asking about dynamite and wanting to blow up buildings and Yuki, since she's pretty much the one holding up the show.

My point is it's moot whether or not there is a new season after this supposed re-airing when we are getting new content at the moment. The difference here is that it is lacking in quite a few area of the overall animation effort if compared to the previous season. And hence, it sounds like an excuse when it is implied the studio might be saving their effort for better things to come. Perhaps there are other reasons behind why the animation effort is lacking in these new content. Practical, calculated, economically sound reasons. Then again, some of the Haruhi-fans (i.e. relentless ) have already touched on the subject from a slightly different perspective, but the implications are there.

This is nothing more than my guess, but when Japanese readers learn Mikuru is a time traveler from the future, I believe they would notice it's a pun soon. To be continued in Spoilers & Speculation thread because it is beyond the scope of this thread. Quote:
I was bothered rather by their voices. I think it's sort of a voice direction error. If they sounded as still and down as they looked, you wouldn't have minded it.

Yes I am quite familiar with the rendaku phenomenon. However, the joke requires less explanation if we ignore the sound changes brought on by making it a compound word.

... Amusingly, the middle two kanji on Kyon's headband could be used for the name "Kiichi" (Ki-Ichi). Change the second kanji from one to four and you'd have "Ki Yon"... or, to simplify things, "Kyon."
Of course, that "logic" kinda flies out the window when you realize you can't really spell "Kyon" that way. *e* For the record... no, this wasn't intended to be a serious guess as to what Kyon's real name is.
