God, I loved this episode. It reminded me SO MUCH of Mawaru Penguindrum, my favorite series of all time...

^ yeah Penguindrum was amazing. Had to watch it twice to catch some things

Oh and Haruhi's pouting was really cute.

What is it with anime doing Alice in Wonderland episodes? I've seen at least 3 of them so far.

Anyway, this was retarded. Probably my least favorite episode so far.

Not sure if I catched the AIW references,but this was a pretty good way of letting us see the inner turmoil in Haruhi's head regarding the death of her mother and how it affected her.

I'm not sure,but I think this was mabye the first time Haruhi's obession with studying was addressed (and when I say the first time I mean a proper remark and not a quick mention which is glanced over right away).

The message of enjoying your highschool days with your friends instead of just studying all day I do agree with,but it felt a bit like they were beating around the bush regarding why she does this in the first place,which I do understand. Losing your mother at that young of an age isn't something you can get over that quick.

If only more of the character focused episodes were like this...

First time I saw this episode I was very confused. The times after that I found it kind of sad especially that part about a pool of her tears. She really has been through a lot but seems to try tough it out and not show how much she is affected by things to others. It probably would do her good to shown a bit more of her emotions and let others in. I kind of wish someone had seen her crying in her sleep also.

One thing I wish this show played up more and showed is how truly exceptionally smart she is. It is touched on a couple times and shows she can be perceptive but really doesn't take true advantage to use this fact. Apparently according to host club bios I assume from the manga.

this was the ep that i used to really not get excited abt but now its definitely one of my favs. a look into haruhi's character outside the one she's shown us throughout her host club experience, aka the haruhi before highschool. how she was, how she felt about things, how she thinks, etc. she takes care of everything herself, she doesnt Know the "fun" you should have in school, she actually does cry a lot but hides it and bottles it up herself. but again she's Still haruhi, she defends whats right and speaks up about her beliefs, she's not a single bit hesitant and doesn't think twice to help other people. lovee love this ep

Uh.. That was unique


And even though the dream stuff was a bit predictable this was very interesting and might be one of my favorites so far due how different and distinct it felt

As iconic as the current haruhi is, the long hair version is pretty cute lmao. Great episode

This was a very trippy episode now that I watch this again, I feel like it's just a metaphorical sort of episode for Haruhi's past I mean we got glimpses of it, how she was and how she is a person now that she's in the Host Club. I feel it's pretty neat, it's definitely the most out there episode and considering it's adapting Alice in Wonderland that's saying a lot. I'd be lying if I didn't say the ending with Haruhi's mum wasn't sad because it was. You can tell Haruhi has been through a lot. The twins being the Cheshire Cat definitely a good choice, Kyoya as the Catterpillar definitely works to a degree. Tamaki as the Mad Hatter? Mmm I'm not feeling it. I feel like that role should've been given to Renge maybe but this is just nitpicking on my part.Otherwise a great episode not my favourite but still a great episode.

This is my favorite episode of all time. I've never reviewed it but I've gone back to it as a standalone episode so many times.
Hello from whatever year I left this comment in! It's funny, we're separated by so many years, and yet we're both enjoying the same media...

Enjoy the present :)
