If you are watching the 2006 version, the first episode is weird as fuck (its showing a movie that the main cast made together), and the show doesn't actually start until episode 2. | ||

You can watch Haruhi episodes in any order, really. Originally, it was aired in an order that was almost random. So yes, do expect confusions. | ||

Considering how well season 1 was paced I wouldn't really call it random. On February 19 2012 13:50 Nagisama wrote: Just sit through it, it sort of introduces the characters.

That was a very interesting conversation about all the lies and that the story of the fire wreathed bee was fake. Senjougahara just throwing herself at Araragi in the end. I'll just conclude with this… + Show Spoiler [Fire Sisters (NSFW!!!)] + WHAT?!?! ![[image loading]](http://imgboot.com/images/zad1111/07_1.jpg) Yuri sisters yo Incidentally Gahara-san didn't take another step toward adulthood if that's what people thought~ | ||

I don't think anyone who remembers Hitagi's opinion on achieving adulthood would think that, but she did take another step toward my heart. How is she so good?! Finally, my Saturday is feeling a little better thanks to Nise. Please tell me 2nd half of Nise is all about Tsukihi, or rather, Tsukihi banter. | ||

Thus why it is almost always best to just go with the original language, rather than gamble on trying to get a good dub. Its been a while, and I'm no fan of Eva, but wasn't that last line Asuka said in Eva a slight mistranslation? Like, rather than "How disgusting", it was supposed to be "I feel sick" or something? IDK how the end of Evangelion was supposed to be happy with everyone turning into orange juice, but w/e. My standard answer for questions about Evangelion is "Nasu is a hack, he did it because trolling and/or it sounded cool", but I think in this case the answer is the subs had a mistranslation. But, I don't actually speak Japanese, so a moon-speaker like Ecael/Southlight can feel free to correct me. Well, everyone can come back if they wanted to. If it really is a mistranslation though thats one hell of a way to fuck up a message. | ||

Seeing that picture made me recover quite a bit of my yuri power that I lost over the course of the past two days. | ||

Before that, I hadn't watched anime for about another 5 years. But now there's going to be a second season of Eureka Seven! I don't know if I'll watch it, but it's exciting news nonetheless :D. Yea I'm excited for the new E7. Can't wait. | ||

It's directed by the director of Death Note and others, and written by the guys who made Code Geass. Haven't had time to watch it since I'm still on Darker Than Black season 2. Though I would like to get any reviews of it if possible. Its such a trainwreck that it's comical. Still entertaining though | ||

If you didn't think R2 was so absurd, it was comical, then you might form a different opinion. Incidentally, Death Note, DtB, and CG are all examples of having a good first half and a trainwreck second half. | ||

Unfortunately no, Tsukihi banter is not until nekomonogatari. Well, she will get some time with nise vol 2 but, yeah... Though if they want to give her more attention though I certainly won't complain, simply too good. Still, I guess we do get some time to see how crafty she is so it won't hurt. Guess I'll go reread nise vol 2 tonight. On February 19 2012 15:31 Ushio wrote: Its such a trainwreck that it's comical.
