Lol, Haruhi almost get bitch-slapped by Kyon. Luckily, Koizumi stopped Kyon it would be too harsh. Though, Kyon was right but still I see no reason to want hit a girl.

Anyway, without a doubt best episode of 2nd season so far.

Pretty much yeah. I don't know how well they translate, but it's not Engrish, and timing of the subs are good. They are damn fast. They sometimes get it out the same night that it aired. If not, before next morning.

Well, whatever...

Anyway, loved the episode. 5/5

God, I want to punch Haruhi in the face so much, mutilate her face and kill her off. Okay, maybe that was a little overboard, I just want to kill her a little.

On a side note I think Yuki needs a wind dragon familiar, dunno why.

Great episode. There was drama, Tsuruya, drunk Mikuru, and few more odd occurrences. Also, the music was amazing in this episode!

Oh and loved this scene: ;D

This episode made me rage far more than Endless Eight. Haruhi S2 is a conspiracy. It's a social experiment on the emotions of otakus.

Haruhi did have ponytail the next day after Kyon told her about it. And on another occasion during the baseball match, Haruhi wanted to try ponytail on Mikuru but decided not to do so because she remembered Kyon likes that ;-)

It is nice to see Kyon decides to act after being said by Taniguchi, that is indeed very very rare from him....

ps: is it just me or does that the "fight" scene in Tsuruyas room seem like totally made in 3D? maybe its because the light effect etc.... (i prefer 2D drawings much better)

Well in the Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya, which was after Melancholy of Haruhi VI, Haruhi decided to tie Mikuru's hair into a ponytail because she might look cuter that way. As she was about to do it, she looks at Kyon and says nevermind.

That's how Haruhi's personality is, she is selfish on the outside. She likes to do what she wants and she doesn't like taking no for an answer. Kyon is the person who says no most of the time to Haruhi, but she never listens. She doesn't ever listen to anybody.

No OP is good, it means we get more of the episode. Some animes do that to save time, especially for a last episode, there's usually no opening. But during this episode, KyoAni probably knew they are dragging on to long with this arc and decided to leave out the opening. Probably the next episode or two will be the last of this arc.

Why is this spoiler tagged?
On the other hand, didn't you ever wonder why Koizumi always took Mikuru alone on his bike to the swimming pool in Endless Eight?

In the light novel, Haruhi told Kyon that 3 people ride on a bike and two on the other. She said that she'll ride with Kyon and Yuki would too. She tells Koizumi to give Asahina a ride.

I put that message in a spoiler tag because it's to long and people might not bother reading it, the one that would will just press the button. Also, it contained spoilers of course, since some people might have not seen the episode yet but still browse in this thread.

The point of an episode thread is to discuss the episode... if people wander in and don't realize that it's about an episode they have yet to watch and don't realize that they might be spoiling themselves by reading all the posts, something is really wrong with them.

I don't read the light novels so I guess I wouldn't know if she just randomly allocated members on bikes or put those 2 together on a bike.

This was indeed the best episode of the season. The drama that was present in this episode was top notch and we got to see how bad Haruhi can really be. Something evil inside of me wanted to see Kyon slap the crap out of Haruhi for being such a bitch but at the end of the episode I was glad he didn't.

That was definitely one of the best Haruhi episodes i've seen. I mean, we got to see sides of Haruhi and Kyon we have never seen before. And, as much as I like Haruhi, I almost wished Kyon would've slapped her.. until I saw that he had his hand curled in a fist. He was actually going to hit her.

I disagree. While she never listens to advice that runs contrary to her whim/will when Kyon says "you can not" or "you must not" she sulks but stops whatever she's doing. This is the first time I can remember in the anime she's actively rebelled against Kyon. Her emotion, as I read it, was "I'm tired of you telling me no all the time!".

Really good episode imo. I wonder if Haruhi would change at all if there was ever an actual relationship with Kyon. Could be possible...notice how Haruhi didn't try to redo the kiss scene after their argument.

Awesome episode. I totally loved it.

Btw im from the people that recently started watching Haruhi so i didnt watched the endless eight. This season is quite good if you take out that endless crap.

I also tend to like Kyon waaaaaaaaay more. And kinda dislike Haruhi. Oh god i really wanted Kyon to smack the espers face(dont remember hes name :/ ) and then slap haruhi -.-

This' the line the whole season should have had. I really could identify myself with Kyon, as if being part of it. I don't know why KyoAni pulled crap like EE to begin with, if they are capable to show off episodes like this one. Or why they began too slowly the Sights arc. Proves, in a way, that kyoani was pure trolling on purpose.

I won't forgive them, though.

I seriously can't believe that Kyon grew his balls in this episode O.O
Very intense, the scene where he raised his hand.... never thought he'd ever do it, that he'd ever blow up since he was always spineless when it came to suzumiya torturing mikuru.
I felt so sorry for mikuru, so i think that someone had to put a stop to her torture one way or another...

This is probably one among the most interesting episodes in season 2. Who knows what to expect in the following episodes :D
