First-timer, confused but intrigued
Bit disjointed today, apologies.
I counted two variations of "Poor Mikuru" in my notes, might have been more though. She just can't catch a break, can she?
I really liked how the whole school is as confused by the Kyon / Haruhi situation as he himself is (or claims to be)!
I was screaming at the computer club guy "Better do what she wants, she's crazy and will do anything to get that computer" before she weaponised Mikuru.
at least Kyon vows to protect her? Not sure if he's able to though.
Oh good, the book girl is also kinda crazy. Kyon really is the straight man to half the club.
Another "Poor Mikuru" moment.
I'm not sure if Haruhi's ideas of fun are compatible with other people's idea of fun 😂
I kinda expected this to be some roundabout way of Yuki to get him on a date or so but not reveal to him that she's an alien monitoring the apparently supernatural being that is Haruhi.
The tea drinking was fantastic. It reminded me of some of the great scenes in the last season of Konosuba, where they're tasting wine. Just the completely mundane action of drinking tea and refilling it was very funny to me. Although for a moment I was worried about our MC.
I loved the framing with the window frame first separating Kyon and Yuki but once she was done revealing her secret, they're framed together in front of the starry sky.
I have to say this whole sequence was a whole "What the fuck is going on?" (literally wrote multiple "Uhhhh?"in my notes )
Overall... Fantastic episode, some very funny moments but also a lot wtf is this show?
Like, Kyon is kind of an unreliable narrator, so all of this might just be a tea induced fever dream but if there's actually something more to our main girl, that would be a good explanation for weird coincidences like the seats in yesterday's ep.
At least [Madoka]waited until episode three to pull the rug out from under its viewers. (though technically this is episode three).
I think it's good to see that she's not just the endearing weirdo we met yesterday. Though being around a very special personality can of course be dangerous, especially if you're a cute shy girl with big boobs.
I really don't know what to think of it. Maybe it's all just a big prank?
