[Ascaloth] Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (2009), Episode 20: Suzumiya Haruhi no Tameiki I
Popularity: 5% [?] Published by Ascaloth August 15th, 2009 in Ascaloth, Anime
On the 3rd of April, 2006, a pilot episode the likes of which have not been seen in anime in recent memory (nor was ever seen again since) aired for a new series debuting in the Fall 2006 season. Shot in a 4:3 ratio at a time when the 16:9 ratio has already become the standard, featuring suspiciously grainy footage and wonky camera direction that hardly seemed on first sight to be on par with the standards of most other anime series at the time, the episode content revolved around an equally dubious plotline about a battle waitress arriving from the future to attempt to save (and failing miserably every time) a boy with latent esper powers from the clutches of an evil alien witch. This very pilot episode was titled The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina Episode 00, and the utterly zany premise of what turned out to be a badly-edited student movie by the group of people we would soon come to know as the SOS Brigade was but the precursor to the insanely brilliant cult hit of 2006, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
3 years onwards, the 2009 reairing brings us the third in a set of new story arcs after Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody and the Endless Eight arc. This third arc, following the events in the second novel The Sighs of Haruhi Suzumiya, details the process by which that zany amateur student movie was made. It’s been long enough, but now we’ll get to see the real story behind such mysteries in the movie, like Yuki’s epic ventriloquism, the highly destructive Mikuru Beam, and the unusually fancy special effects of Itsuki. This is the story behind the start of the craze.

Konnichiwa, ENOZ desu~!


"We only get to experience our high school freshman cultural festival once, you know?"


Why the shit-eating smirk, Kyon?

"It’s good to have a lively class….but that sounds tedious."


Three cheers for saikang warrior Kyon!


Whoa, bitch level up there, Haruhi.

Mio-chan, Ricchan, is that you?


It’s a Sony!

Kyon’s information is a little outdated; with the troubles going on in today’s world, it might be true that dynamite would not be available in online retail these days if ever there was, but at the same time it’s probably not that hard to find a suitable substitute for her needs. Hell, she could probably work wonders with a bit of ammonium nitrate if she put her mind to it….and I probably should shut up now, lest she gets ideas.
In any case, this concludes the first part of the Sighs storyline, with more still to come. How is the shooting of the movie going to pan out, and what craziness will Haruhi cook up in the time between the Endless Summer and Live Alive?
Ascaloth, out.

Do not use any < and > for your own sake. It will end the comment there and then. Also, there is an automatic IQ filter which weeds out comments made by those who accidentally got transported from the stone age.

As to Mikuru’s PTSD, her solution appears to be “Stockholm Syndrome”, at least based on how older-Mikuru responded with happy nostalgia to seeing all the costumes in her first visit to Kyon.
“It’s a Sony!” god u make me wanna watch that epi again *opens Kannagi’s folder*
Are they still in Endless Eight?
I hope they give some exposition on the talking cat, and how the bitch-queen of Nishinomiya abuses animals for the movie project…
I also spy the metal band rejects behind ENOZ…
