About those guys... Koizumi mentioned about underworld war. Well I think that was his friends from "Organization". I don't know why, but when I think about that I have in mind picture of Witcher's and Organization from Claymore.

Eh, a decent episode for a bad season. At least I got to hear Shamisen speak. Really wanted to see Disappearance animated, though.

All this whine about Endless Eight.. It wasn't that bad, really O.O It was actually rather good (although I've already said this, a long time ago : 3)

Alright episode and overall had a decent amount of humor with plot. I guess that's it for season two then, it wasn't much of a season though and I'm actually rather disappointed.

If the season is over then I'd give it a 7/10.

This season was crap.
Just because they did well last season doesn't mean they can slack off in the second season and make a pile of poo.

Apparently its not over and the last 3 episodes are just the first 3 episodes of the first season.
Now I would ask " how can these idiots get away with making such a bad anime with the same episode running over and over and finishing it with the first episode of the last season?"

Then I realize that's a stupid question and of course their allowed to get away with that because people will still buy the piece of crap once it comes to dvd and they know it.

Lets just put it this way, I can count the number of scenes in this anime that I really liked on one hand. to be exact, I liked 3 scenes in total.

The talking cat was funny.

OMG that was funny. Kyon told Haruhi that Nagato, Asahina, and Koizumi were the Alien, Time Traveler, and Esper and she STILL DIDN'T believe him.

It reminded me that in the Dissapperence of Haruhi, after the world has been changed, Kyon is talking to the cat, hoping it will talk back, but it doesn't.

I didn't really hate her, more like annoyed...

I think the first season gave us an idea of what haruhi is(God, Source of Auto evolution, etc) and her character. The second season (Endless and Sighs) showed us what she is capable of like altering time lines and putting into reality what she thinks of. At the same time, it also showed us that she still has a grasp of reality(highlighted by haruhi rejecting kyon's suggestion about the real identities of the 3) and that she's just like any other girl (getting all jealous with Mikuru and Kyon getting along so well and maybe subconciously torturing her because of it). Which makes me love her even more...

All in all, I would say an excellent effort by Kyoani to deliver the story of the Haruhi light novels.

I'm predicting another season of Haruhi after the Disappearance movie since there is still enough material for 12 to 14 EP series (possible 24?). And then maybe another movie or OVAs for the yet unfinished lightnovel.

5/5 for the EP
9/10 for the Series

Ending almost made up for Endless Eight....almost.

Good end to what was on the whole a disappointing series, mostly due to the whole Endless Eight saga. However, this certainly hasn't turned me away from the series like it has some other people because, really, every other episode was just as good as the first series.

Can't wait for the movie - still have full faith that KyoAni will make it top notch.

Does anyone else find this show very anticlimactic? ^_^ Nothing all that much really happens during the series, so you think it must be leading up to somethin big, and then it just...doesn't ^_^ Oh well, it is good anyway!

Koizumi was a little scary in this episode, wasn't he? 3:

Hope the next series goes more into detail about their individual theories about Haruhi, and their theories about each other (Mikuru finding Koizumi untrustworthy, Koizumi thinking that Mikuru has alterior motives for her friendship with Kyon)! :D Looking forward to that!

Eh, Endless Eight aside, the rest of the episodes weren't that great. You got "OMFG PLOT?" then repetition, then drama, then the end. 6/10.

I'm expecting the movie to be decent though.

It was turning out to be a great episode but the ending itself turned out to be a little outta place from me considering the flow of the 28 episodes. Actually it seems to fit more with that being the actual ending confrontation where he said he planned to tell her these things.

More like.. They come from different factions, a'ight? So they tell Kyon not to trust the other faction too much, a'ight?

same here. In the first season I kinda liked her personality, but now she's just annoying. She's too selfish.

I liked this episode. Koizumi was as always cool :D I really like him. I'm curious to know how he acts with his true personality :P
The ending was funny. Kyon telling Haruhi that Yuki is an alien, Mikuru a time traveler and Itsuki an esper. But she doesn't believe him xD
Haruhi: "Don't screw with me!"
I'd like to know how she would act knowing the truth and what i would cause.

Okay gonna watch The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya as soon as possible.

Also I want a 3rd season.

Frankly, this episode annoyed me. Doing the whole "you don't know what we're saying is true" thing is just cheap. And knowing the series, it'll probably never actually be explained what's really happening. Though to be honest, IMO, Mikuru and Koizumi's theories are both stupid and most logical people would be more inclined to believe Nagato, if any of them. I would have told Mikuru and Koizumi to fuck off after that crap. I also find it annoying that after deciding they need to do something to convince Haruhi of what is fact and what is fiction, they then all just go home and then a few days later Koizumi gives it to Kyon to deal with. If it were really something so important, shouldn't they be staying up all night together trying to figure out what to do? And if Kyon really wanted to spill the beans to Haruhi, seems to me it would have been possible with a little more effort instead of "oh, she, unlike how everyone would think, didn't believe me the first time, so oh well". I would have done that, incidentally, cause what Mikuru and Koizumi said would have really pissed me off. I'm definitely going to have to read the manga and/or the novels to figure out what's what.

Also, should I be proud of myself for thinking of Koizumi's idea to have it all be a dream before he said it? Kyon's idea in the end was pretty brilliant, though.

I think it's going to take me a long time to decide what to rate this season..
