I liked the new ED. I don't think you can top Hare Hare Yukai, ever, so I'm glad they didn't do a new dance. (Now watch, if there's a new OP, it'll contain dancing.

)

I don't understand moonspeak, but I honestly was floored by this episode. Not just for the "new episode euphoria"; the animation, art, voice acting, even the BGM held my attention the full episode. If the rest of the new episodes are as enjoyable as this one was, then it was well worth the wait and trolling.

That said, can't wait for the soundtrack already. I loved all of the music so far, though the ED will have to grow on me. Then again, I didn't like Bouken Desho? or Hare Hare Yukai as songs, either... /lynched!

Now the agonizing wait for subs. :C

It just kind of sounds like the Saki ending to be honest.....only with less cracked out animation. Not that it's awful or anything, I just kind of expected them to push it to the limit because this is supposed to be like the "return of the goddess" or whatever it is that other people are always saying. Then again they lost the guy that did all of those dance openings so I can't say I'm surprised at the change in style much and really it's sort of refreshing.

I base this mainly on the shape of the mouth (and the slight deformation of the face to be more "puni puni") and the blush pattern: in the first season, the blushing is more uniform across the face, while it seems more concentrated around the nose region here.

For the character designs, I find everyone looking shorter than before lol

For the girls, their hair has gotten bigger, so they're heads look even bigger than before.

For guys, especially Kyon, he just seemed to have a shorter body, maybe because of larger hair volume as well.

But as long as they're animated and moving like they used to, there's nothing bad.

EDIT: lol, I've quoted a few times "I find your lack of faith disturbing.", to those unfaithful ones. They've been going "lol Haruhists" at me for 3 years.

Haruhists should have faith in Haruhi-sama, not Kadokawa or Kyoani.

Keeping this under wraps for so long, the small leaks of information, the fact that nobody really knew until a few minutes ago. They shouldn't be hated for that. To pull off something on that level for a company makes them earn my respect.

Of course I knew that. I should add a LOL behind that sentence so people don't actually treat that seriously.

(I keep forgetting some people just don't get the Brit dry sense of humour with its generous usage of the f-word)

Weirdly, I fell in love with Hare Hare Yukai the first time I heard it, but Bouken Deshou Deshou took several episodes before I saw it as more than Just Another Song. I'm not entirely sure why; it could be the chord progression or something.

Tomare currently feels like BDD did: Just Another Song. It's not bad as such, but I'll need to listen to it more before I can pick out all the musical flourishes which are inevitably in there.

(I should mention that I liked Lucky Star's Motteke Sailor Fuku because I thought the bass line was hilariously complicated.)

EDIT:

I need more sleep.

Understood. My mistake.

Solais · 2009-05-21, 13:14

It's funny how Kadokawa redeemed itself in only 20 minutes. After all these years, all this trolling. I was there in the first row, I saw it, still... it's so hard to believe!

Semantics · 2009-05-21, 13:43

I'm a bit giddy from watching the ED alone. Though, it could be due to the dual onslaught of its epileptic nature AND the news that Haruhi's finally back. Yippeeeeeee!

I loved the running. And nobody does hair like Kyoani. Nobody.

Tyabann · 2009-05-21, 14:00

Art was... well, it was pretty crap, relatively speaking. ED isn't really that great either.

Otherwise the episode was excellent. But the art quality was one of the main draws in Haruhi for me, and so...

7/10.

So then, is the SHiN-gx Fansubs file a fake? They don't have it on their website, nor is it on their tracker.
Darn you, K-On!, for making me skeptical about everything now!

Kaioshin Sama · 2009-05-21, 15:06

Well I decided to forgo all the formalities and such and put up a first impression of this episode over on AH.

Loved the music by Lantis (they're starting to feel a bit like the Vangelis of the anime industry.....okay maybe not that good), but the pacing of the episode and what story events got the most time spent on them left me a touch cold in terms of reaction having already read the novel. Not enough to make this a poor episode or anything though, just not enough to make it a great one.

musume_no_hoshi · 2009-05-21, 15:18

It feels like the 'good o' haruhi', then something that feels over-amazing that can't be describe with words. It's a good episode, reminds me why I liked Haruhi from the first place.

If I haven't read the novel before hand, I'm sure this episode would be much better. I remember reading this part during school time, and I wanted to read more of it, so I read it in maths.

Vexx · 2009-05-21, 15:42

Pardon me whilst I bask in the light of an unfamiliar universe.... one in which there's a new Haruhi episode.

Haven't seen it yet but perhaps later this evening...

Almost to the day when I was notified that my Nagato shipped.... o.-

Peanutbutter Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2007	My 25 mins of bliss is complete. I don't know whether it's better than sex though cause I'm still a virgin. Spoiler for BLR: i) Overall, the animation felt different compared to the original series. If I had to rewatch everything chronologically again, I'm sure I'll feel awkward again when it comes to Bamboo Leaf Raphsody. ii) I'm seeing K-On!'s Yui all over the place. At points, when looking at Haruhi or Mikuru, I really thought I saw Yui. iii) I'm kinda disappointed at the lack of "special effects" at two points, Time-Travel and Time-Stopping. If they managed to have something for the "Kyon sleeping and suddenly woke up by Haruhi in Melancholy", you will expect something similar. But as far as I remember, the novels describe both the two events above with a blink of an eye so I guess this has to do. I'll say it again, kinda expect more there. Now to wait for Endless Eight or Disappearance. When it comes to Disappearance, I wonder about the impact of lack of Haruhi. Actually, from this point on, Haruhi really becomes a side-character while Kyon really take centre-stage. The original series had Aya really dominating the show with her wonderful delivery. If that is shortened or even missing, I wonder what kind of consequences will the series as a whole face? Well, I guess we'll see.
