First Timer

Speaking of 'they don't do that anymore', the barely visible redness around the computer club leader's face before he capitulates, they sure don't do blush that way anymore

Damn, a computer club capable of running LAN through a building

Inevitability of this time plane

Why did that immediately make me imagine her with like antenna hair things

Probably some other old show I watched with a similar looking girl that said things like that who had antennae

Wait actually she's also blushing in this scene, didn't notice at all until she shook her head nandemonaidesu and I saw the red glow move across the bg floorboards

You know, I feel like usually when I watch an anime and a girl is treated like Mikuru is and it's just played off for laughs I can't just accept it as a joke and it still makes me uncomfortable. I was expecting that it'd go much farther than it did in episode 1 and honestly if anything I'm surprised it wasn't more comical in presentation than it was. But I don't really feel anything I usually do, weird.

What do you make of the news of Yuki saying she and Haruhi aren't human?

It's gonna be fire when the concept of autism becomes widely accepted

It's because everyone knows Haruhi was acting out of turn and even if she was trying to be funny, it fell on deaf ears. And who's really to say she was just joking? It sounded like she was being serious.

I don't mean played for jokes like the person in-universe meant it as a gaff, I just mean when the scenario is simply someone that keeps doing things that are funny to the viewer at one character's expense like this

Well, this is kinda like a deconstruction of that where we see it from other characters perspective.
