Man, just watched it (Mazui speed subs - pretty good actually). It felt sooo good watching Haruhi again. Especially after such a long wait and all that Kadokawa BS.

lol, Mazui subs were actually better than L-E&DB, they made more sense and were more consistent; I'd recommend watching both though, it's kind of necessary with these speed subs.

Great BGM, the animation is worse than S1 or maybe just different, the plot was normal for Haruhi, the ED is growing on me and I'm going to go insane; 4 weeks until the next new episode?

All in all, I'm impressed so far. We'll see how the rest goes.

are either the mazui or l-e&db versions worth watching or would it be better to just wait for some other more prominent group to do it?

I have this feeling that I shouldn't watch the new episodes until the second season is over. Don't get me wrong I loved the first series but with all this bs added on to it, it's like this series can never be normal. Of course it won't. But all those damn trolls ruined it for me. I'm not excited in the least.

After such a long time...it is finally here, unexpectedly, without the pomp and glamor I expected.
Watching Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody brought me back to when I watched Haruhi years ago (can't believe its been so long).
Same feeling, though the lack of the former ED is kinda sad...

Doesn't seem like anythings changed. I expect I will enjoy the continuation as much as I did the first.

I'd recommend Mazui, if you just can't wait a few more days/hours/whatever, they're perfectly watchable.

That was awesome- same feel of the first season even though its been so long. The video quality on my speedsub was a little blurry, so Ill have to look at the animation closer when I get a better copy but it wasnt as detailed as I expected but still fairly good. The animation in the first season varied by episode, so I'm expecting the same for S2. I had already read the novels but it was still really exciting to watch, it made me remember what good anime is like since its been a while since Ive seen a new show thats been that good.

Definitely a worthwhile watch. I'm a Mikuru fan, so there's plenty to love here for me...I liked the resolution to the time travel, and hope that this means Mikuru will have more to contribute as far as the main plot.

Dattebayo released episode 1. Are there any other groups working on this, that might be more worth waiting for? Think I watched AFK's releases for Season 1.

No. You are an idiot for rating it after only one episode.
technically it's interlaced with the old season, so you can only use the 'new' episodes to change your opinion of the original series.

I liked the episode, especially the chess metaphor at the end and a lot of the little details that Kyon explained in the tail-end.

I also like the ED song. It's like a re-mix of the old ending with different(?) lyrics. It's a good move for those fanboys who can't let go of the past.
