Don't think i've laughed so much at an anime for ages and ages.
I love the- 'Wait her cloths have changed, maybe he showered her? Yes that was it, hold back for rage to beat the shit out of the bastard!'
Also the good olde 'Lots of things happen in between, but end with another battle sceen, Mikuru Beam!!
Haha yeah Kyon's narration was so great. It's all the little things that really made me love it though.. like how in the opening credits, everyone is playing themselves, but their first names are written in kanji for the character and in katakana for the actor to make it appear they're different, or how Mikuru randomly and inconsistently has differently colored eyes, or the really really bad acting throughout, or how itsuki goes totally over the top with his hand gestures when he actually gets to talk a lot at last etc..
Btw, what was with the talking cat bit? that looked way too good to be something they faked!

They are using the same voice actor as shuffle did for Rin, good choice imho
Manaka would love there movies tbh

Yeah a bit odd, i love the way 5 seconds after it spoke she slapped it and said that was ventriloquism

Gotta watch episode 2 this morning
Yeah I agree he's a really good choice
It seems that maybe the cat + itsuki's final attack (compared to the other special effects..) are actually really paranormal things like Haruhi is searching for. (re: episode 2 ), guess we'll have to wait and see, since neither shows up in ep2 yet
I tried to watch Soul Link after haruhi, but it was just so crap in comparison I really couldn't enjoy it at all ]
Oman, Ouran High School Host Club was really good too, I'm a bit dubious as to whether they can keep up the energy and fun in future episodes though, seemed like a lot happened in just this episode oO It's about a host club at a really expensive private school, where girls pay to spend time with bishounen, and a new guy called Haruhi (coincidence? ) accidentally finds himself there. And after breaking a vase ends up having to be their gofer... And uh don't worry, it's not nearly as yaoi as it might first appear!
Top 3 of this season are prob which I'll def be keeping up with: 1) Haruhi-ism! ofc! 2) School Rumble 2nd semester 3) Ouran High School Host Club, atleast so far, I've watched like 25% of the new shows only >< Why are there so many!!!?!
[EDIT: Kurogane's top 3 is Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu, Ouran High School Host Club and none other than Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. As far as I know nobody is subbing Higurashi no Naku Koro ni yet, but I'll be looking forwards to when it is, apparently it's some kind of horror anime which are pretty rare!

Just been thinking (okay overthinking, I've watched haruhi waaaaaay too many times now ) and I'm now convinced that there's definitely something up with most/all of the actors in that movie! Itsuki really is an esper! Yuki + that cat really are aliens! Mikuru recognises Yuki (at the club room) cos clearly she's a timetraveller/alien type too! And what is it that makes this all (or most of it) definitely true? At the end of the movie Kyon makes Haruhi repeat the "this is a work of fiction" disclaimer, it's so obviously fake that the only possible explanation for Kyon making her do that is because it's actually all real!
I'm caught up with episode2 now, it generally makes episode 1 seem alot less weird, i love the way she kidnapped Mikuru (and only because she is cute and has Huge mellons! which she sampled and offered him a feel too!)
I'm wondering about that too, i guess something like theres going to be loads and loads of Alien/time traveler stuff going on around her without her picking it up

Haha could be!
I've decided I love Kyoto Animation After watching Air I knew they were pretty wow-some, but Haruhi just blows me away with all the little things (everybody is way more "active" than in most animes, hand movements and such, haruhi playing with/flicking her hair (the fact hair actually moves rather than being a fancy pattern glued only a character's head which a nuclear bomb couldn't distort), the way kyon holds his brow in pain at haruhi's stupidity/eccentricity etc.. so many things!)
Just tried Utawarerumono (did I spell that right?) ep1, was rather slow paced and nothing much happened, though the OP does promise of great epic battles later! Or so it would appear.. Anyhows, all I can say is it's a must-see for hardcore tail fondling action!!
I'll give it another ep and see if it picks up the pace a bit or not, really atm all it's got is a cute main lead but that's not enough to warrant watching it really (okay normally it is but this season has such a flood of anime that I may have to be more conservative than normal!). More tail fondling wouldn't hurt in swaying my interests either!.
