Although, Yuki has that "poker face", I have a feeling that she is simply very good at keeping her emotions inside. Yes, she definitely has something going on inside.

Emotions. Yuki's got'em, but if she is considering that data as unimportant junk, or unrelated info, then she probably doesn't understand them very well and they are running amok. Pehaps she has them filed neatly in her super cleano internal data storage facility. May be she even peeks at them every once in a while? I don't know, it's just a thought.

Anyway, she has really great eyes

Pure speculation: its the old "put an alien mind in a human body and after a while they start thinking and emoting like a human" story .... Star Trek did that a few times.
However, I remember one short story when i was a teenager that went the other way: they'd re-engineer humans to live outside on the surface of Titan ... but they kept losing contact with the volunteers so they reworked their top guy and sent him out to see what was going on. Once out there: all the new scents, the feelings, the textures were so exhilarating he just felt sorry for the "behinders" and never looked back.

Well, we get to see her in a maid outfit next episode anyway.

Isn't it a fried soba cafe costume? I guess that's a maid outfit.

I wanted to point out something that I didn't notice earlier. Did anyone notice that on the episode preview of Live A Live, that it felt like all of Tsuruya's actions within the preview itself looked like the mouth movements actually matched Haruhi's introduction to the next episode? It totally looked like lip synchronization even though Tsuruya in the next episode on that same exact scene will definitely say whatever actual content is presented. Even Taniguchi's appearance on the preview also seemed to initially match Kyon's incorrect correction. And then it's like when Kyon looks at the menu or paper he's holding in the preview, then he corrects himself. I don't know, it seemed like in that particular preview it seemed like everything they showed matched what they were saying.

There's also a Gundam mod for Starcraft floating around. It was being worked on in 99/00, but then the guy stopped. Seeing as how it was 6 years ago, it might be hard to find now, but Ive still got my copy :>

You do know Games Workshop has a Tabletop game of that already? It's called Battleship Gothic, now all Relic has to do is get the licence off GW and they are sorted! WOOT!!

BIOTYRANT Ships???!!!! Necron Tomb ships?!! Kroot Sphere?! Not to mention even a Black Fortress or a ELdar Craftworld?!?!?!!

YEEES!!!


I hate you Haruhi, for bringing back my hard sci-fi spirit back to life...

I suppose this is a throwback to the saying "When in Rome, do as the Romans do"

That's kinda odd. Could Kyon be unconsciously shifting his attention from Asahina to Tsuruya? Is there hope for Kyon x Tsuruya fans afterall?

Spoiler:

Kyon is referring to the costume that Mikuru made. In Live A Live she and Tsuruya are wearing it, and since we didn't get enough Tsuruya, KyoAni decided to give us that image.

I don't think Mikuru made the outfit. Kyon mentioned that Mikuru's class must have someone good at clothing design, but I don't think Miruru was credited for it... And could you imagine Mikuru sewing? She would hurt herself!

You know, this episode really kicked butt in the music department! We had Shostakovich's Symphony #7 at the start of the game (with a funny computer bleep version it would switch to), Tchaikovsky's Symphony #4 at the end, and I just noticed Ravel's Daphnis et Chloe at the episode prologue. The only two missing from my top 5 favorite composers are Stravinsky and Bartok. I like the music director's choices!

None other than Shoji Gatoh!

The novel author of Full Metal Panic!!!!

What the HELL is he doing here?

Get back to work! Go and type up more FMP, you slacker!

I guess you didnt notice when Esper Boy summoned fireballs by saying Fumffou, and Second Raid, in the episode of the bug.

My guess they are having too much fun being creative with this series.

Episode 9. But yeah, re-reading the chapter, you're right, it was left as unknown after all.

It doesn't seem to me to spell anything for an English keyboard layout. Hehe, I was just sitting with my laptop on my lap, replaying these few frames, pausing and unpausing to try and see it, and trying to visualize a keyboard's layout. Completely forgetting that I was holding my laptop and typing on its keyboard at the time

So maybe you can type absentmindedly.

I believe that was crochet rather than sewing

I can't make any particular word out, but in case someone can, here goes (from the QWERTY layout)

Her first tap was with her thumb on the right hand, and it would land somewhere in the vicinity of the N (could be central BNM line), but it could also be the Space button.

Second tap was in the vicinity of the T, on the topmost line, it could be a Y, which made me think shes typing her name (but in Eng!??). 3rd tap: She moved her hand further in, so it should be the second line, vicinity of K.

4th tap, I'm pretty sure was on the QWER line. 5th tap, on the TYUI line. Last tap before screen blacks out, DFG line.

Now, even assuming shes using the QWERTY layout (but she should be, considering the Windows XP interface, the commands in the cmd window are also in EL characters, and some actual shots of the keyboard) I can't make sense of what she would be typing! Maybe something in Romanji?

I've a feeling I just did something useless.

Anyhow, nice episode. I really love it when they do such aspects on Yuki, maybe its because it lets me make sense of this data creation; and how shes not so lifeless as I thought. Gives it a 9.

[C.A.]

Yuki maybe not even be typing according to an English keyboard, maybe she's typing in Hiragana?

[Lost]

oooo possible.. the closest snap of the board I can get is this

[npal]

Well, it's obviously a keyboard with Hiragana on. If anyone recognizes the layout, he could speculate about it. Maybe she's writing something interesting.

[Vexx]

And its damned hard to *find* a -kana keyboard here in the states.... classmate's wife has one but she brought it with her from Japan.

Okay, well it seems like the Day of Sagittarius III game is definitely based on a Legend of Galactic Heroes game as others have mentioned, and after a bit of research I turned up this screenshot of 銀河英雄伝説 VI (Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu 6). It seems like it's actually not massively old, it came out around 2000 or so. I haven't a clue how one would go about getting hold of it though, Amazon Japan won't ship games out of the country, and hardly anybody else seems to do Japanese PC games.
