| Lol I love how they call Kyon so insignificant but continue to lay the fate of the world on his shoulders. This is nuts. |
 |
| Soooooo glad this series changed from what it seemed to be in the first 2 episodes. I almost dropped it early on, but it's turning out to be pretty interesting. |
 |
on 
| Wew! The ball has really started rolling with the past few episodes, I'm quite surprised with how they've created this potentially incredible plot out of seemingly nothing. What I'm enjoying the most are Kyon's monologues, the narration is smooth like butter. |
  ~ |
| This series has definitely taken an interesting turn. Like Kyon I still find it hard to wrap my head around Haruhi creating the world. So are none of the characters real then? Is this all leading up to some twist ending where Haruhi's a terminal patient imagining what her life could be like? What are they going for with this? But the interesting exposition about the espers and sealed areas gave me some hope. That maybe it's all leading up to an interesting payoff. I'm amazed at how well this series shifted. From seeming to be an SoL about chuunibyous. To an SoL with elements of supernatural mystery and even psychological thriller thrown in. Still kind of a dumb slice of life. But already delivering on way more than I expected it to. |

| Blue giant and the enclosed space episode. The episode was philosophical and wasn't exciting. No fanservice or any of the other stuff. This whole anime reminds me of the ridiculousness from Durarara!!. If the next 2 episodes continue to be like this, it is gonna get boring real quick. There is not even a sense of danger. I think this should have been aired during night time because it made me fall asleep. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| It's ironic that Haruhi wants the mysterious experience, while Kyon is getting to experience the mysteries. |
 "Are you intoxicated, or just insane?" |
| Haruhi's club was a total success after all: time traveler? Check. Alien? Check? Esp? Check. |
 |
| This went from "It's boring so far.." to "HOLY SHIT, THIS IS HYPERMEGAULTRA EXTREME HAHAHAHAHAAA." I like this closed space concept, and i hope it dosen't get frogotten, but Yuki-chan is the one, who i care about the most. |
 |
| So his name is Koizumi Itsuka. |
 |
| lol each episode makes less sense than the last |
 |
| The shinjin are definitely freaky. Itsuki showed Kyon all about it, and he's a bit freaked out. He can't really control Haruhi, so he's unsure of what to do. |
 |
| I find it strange that such a popular and influential anime has so little discussion on MAL. I mean, we're only on the second page of comments! I assume it is related to the odd episode release order. I'm surprised more anime don't go for the straight up narration style, it works really well here. |
 |
| [Chronological order, I think] Nice, we get to know the last "special ability" from the group. This show keeps on getting more and more interesting. |

| better than the episode last time. It was refreshing seeing questions and confusing bits be answered and I was a massive fan of that baseball part where she described the insignificance of an individual. I thought it was well done |
 |
| [CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER] So Nagato an alien, Mikuru a time-traveller and OnoD's character, Koizumi is an esper. And lol they really saying Haruhi's a god. Fun episode, got more answers. |

| yup, airing order is better in making mindfuck episode and then more normal episode that explains the previous one, i like it better. from some reason i get the feeling that the only one who controls it's all is haruhi. lol she probably wanted to go so much with kyon xD |
| Suzumiya is so annoying.. |
  |
| Well thank you so much for very helpful explanation of things, mr. itsuki. I was definitely paying full attention the whole time. |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| So Haruhi gathered everyone she ever wished for in her club but she can't know about it, otherwise the world might be in danger. The fact that this anime is completely out of the ordinary always amuses me. Also, it's funny and cute at the same time how much she wanted to be with Kyon. I guess she really chose him to stay by her side. |
  Grant me one hour on love's most sacred shores To clasp the bosom that my soul adores, Lie heart to heart and merge my soul with yours |
| rewatch- chronological order- ep5 watching this chronological making clear this arc is reaching it's climax next episode. kozumi is still one of the mysterious characters in this anime. his explanations are mind blowing lol. but they are apart of haruhi's mystery. and haruhi "nerve" on the world is "normal". watching the anime already helping to know that's one of the parts of haruhi's mystery - it's all depends on haruhi's "beliefs". |
| That was a lot to take in, but I'm loving this! Suddenly so much from the last episode makes sense, but some things are still unclear, but I'm sure they'll make more sense further ahead. It sounds like Haruhi is God, and whatever she wishes for will become reality, which is why now we're got espers, time travellers and aliens. This has been pretty fun so far! It just sucks that these forums seem to be completely screwed due to some people not getting that the episodes here are in broadcast order, but oh well I guess |
