Agreed.

Too bad the justin broadcast died. Gotta have to wait a couple hours for it to show up in other sources...

The art seems comparatively more stable in this episode.


Haruhi's completely an ass in this episode. Is the entire sighs arc to build up for audience's love for Nagato?

[Heminga13]

I missed the beginning and end.

Oh well, it's not like I won't see it again tonight.

[Jonbob0008]

Well, I for one am a happy camper, and I will eagerly await for this episode to come out on whatever source I can find it. I'll probably watch it raw and then subbed.

At least Mikuru Beam is out. And Haruhi is....yeah.

Spoiler:

And the Mikuru Beam was done right. KyoAni did their homework for this one. High-energy lasers really do behave like that in real life.

Also, epic growling, angry Kyon is epic.

Plus also good to see Tsuruya san again

[haruhi.ism]

i missed the beginning and end, but what i did see, i'm VERY happy with

the K-ON look was toned down, which is a big plus,
and whoa, yuki. she's always epic.
and YAY tsuruya-san!!


-needs to see it again nowwww-

[Game8910]

Nagato was epic this episode, then again she always is XD

Mikuru was a moe machine I hnnnnnnnnggggg

Haruhi was.....Haruhi

also FAK YEAR KYON MANNED THE FUCK UP

[Ithekro]

Missed just the ended as Tsuruya starts to speak. But everything else was fine. Finally get to see why Kyon's camera goes all weird during the Mikuru Beam scene...though he doesn't even catch the half of it.

Spoiler for I forgave them for Endless 8 when I saw this:

*can't stop laughing*

[haruhi.ism]

nice, yumii-chan!
^__^

[Toonleap]

Spoiler for MIKURU BEAM SPOILER!:

MIKURU BEAM!!!!!!!!!!

Will update it later because my boss is around....

[Ice Block]

Three things:

1. Mikuru Beamu! -- done perfectly.
2. Ep 00 camera effects -- overexposure, underexposure, blurred zoom + focus effects (guess what this was used on this ep ), camera bob
3. LOL-fang-tan -- the feed died on her portrait, nyoron~..

Good art and animation althroughout. Got surprised by a few scenes (having read Sighs two years ago and forgotten a few events -- thank god for being unspoiled), and Koizumi's expositions were longer than expected. Preemptively rating 10/10 (later when the poll actually opens), as it can only get better with subs and higher quality video.

----------

And this rerun was never "K-Onified" to begin with. K-On!'s art style was a field test of the "new designs" that were brought up by KyoAni a few years ago (though altered to be more Lucky Star-ish). Biggest evidence: K-On! anime character design is rather different from the source 4koma (compare with Google). Admittedly, the first thing that came to my mind (in terms of character design) when I first saw the K-On CM was "Kannagi + Haruhi".

That's why it's called K-Onified, and not "4Koma-ified".

Look, accept the fact that a lot of people don't like the art changes, and everybody knows exactly what is meant by "K-Onified". Given that the art style keeps altering from one episode to the next to the next, people are naturally going to bring up the art style.

[Game8910]

then again people seems to have forgotten that this animation style is actually the one used in Munto....so in other words this animation is "Muntofied", since K-ON wasnt the first to use it :|

K-On is way more more well-known (through out the internet as a whole, at least) than Munto is. When using a short-hand term through out the internet as a whole, it helps to use a term that people instantly can recognize the meaning behind. Hence, using "K-Onified" instead of "Muntofied".

Munto may have originated the art style, but K-On popularized it.

I know...makes me wonder why munto was never popular to begin with....i mean...this was a KyoAni show and they are usually the popular guys

In general, I think that Anime Suki overestimates the value of the question of "What animation studio produced it?" in the minds of the fans. When trying to determine what anime I want to check out, I don't even think about "What animation studio produced it?", honestly. That's not even a factor in determining what anime I watch.

[Heatth]

I believe Kyoani become popular after Munto.

What studio produce the serie is important, yes. I believe it is why people watch Lucky*Star and K-ON in the first place.

About the episode, very good one. Specially the Mikuru Beam very well done. I loved Itsuki scared face after have understand what was happening (and Mikuru was looking to him).

[Philos]

Did anyone notice this?

Spoiler for ED Cast:

Others(except Kyon) stay like previous episode.
