Although this is my first review I'll try to remain as unbiased as possible.
This is one of the first times I've ever been so sincerely disappointed in an Anime. I've seen how people react to the Endless Eight arc and I agree completely with them, watching eight of the same episodes in a row was about as fun as getting a root canal through the ass. But beyond that, this show contributed so little to the actual story of the series you'd may as well just watch the first episode and be done with it.
But despite all my griping there were times when this
...
Anime was genuinely enjoyable for me albeit they be few and far between. I liked the new OP but that's about all I can say as far as the Sound quality, not bad but not outstanding in any way.
There was some character development and you do see sides of the main character you haven't seen before, but they don't really go any deeper than that. I really didn't get too know any characters any better. Kyon's still irritated with Haruhi. Haruhi is still a God/Time Distortion/"product of biological evolution capable of generating new information and surpassing previous limitations to be spontaneously born in the universe". Itsuki still kisses Haruhi's ass on a daily basis and invades Kyons personal space. Mikuru is still an oblivious ditz. And Yuki's.. well... Yuki I guess.
As soon as I saw the first episode I noticed that there was likely some budget cuts in the animation. It may be just my opinion but the art in the first season was much more crisp. It felt like they completely changed the feel of the anime. To me the first season had a surreal feeling, it was relaxing, this season it made me wanna punch adorable kittens.
All in all this is a series that tried to be innovative or "Unique" and then gracefully fell straight on its face. If you're a fan of the series (like me) save yourself the disappointment and hope the Movie turns out better.
