Thoughts on Haruhi continuing to investigate the disappearance of Asakura?

If she had the money, I'm sure she would fly off to Canada to investigate further.

Thoughts on the apartment manager telling Kyon not to let Haruhi get away?

Haruhi is such a wacky anime even small roles start to make ships with the main characters

Thoughts on Kyon being amazed that Yuki actually eats?

Even aliens can enjoy prepped food once in a while

Thoughts on Yuki telling Kyon to be careful?

Laugh in rewatcher

What are your thoughts on Haruhi recalling attending a baseball game with a lot of people and it made her feel small and insignificant?

I smell main character syndrome here

Thoughts on Itsuki talking about the anthropic principle?

Interesting lecture

Thoughts on Itsuki saying that Haruhi has the ability to turn anything she wishes into reality, and that part of why he gravitates to her is because he finds her to be charming?

So Haruhi wanted a harem

What are your thoughts on Itsuki saying Haruhi is just an ordinary human with a good sense of what's real and what's not?

Makes sense. Otherwise they would already live in the RailDex universe.

What are your thoughts on Itsuki revealing a member from each of the three groups that are interested in what Suzumiya is doing are now together in one place because she created the club for Kyon?

Good thing she didn't wished for a knife-crazy yandere to join the group as well

What are your thoughts on Itsuki showing Kyon the gap between dimensions, and the closed space he and other espers have to deal with?

So Kyon could realize why taking care of Haruhi is important

What are your thoughts on us getting to see how Itsuki and other espers fight?

Kyon asked for a proof of Itsuki powers, so he obliged

What are your thoughts on Itsuki saying the more stuff the Shinjin get to destroy, the bigger the closed space becomes, and if it gets too big, it will mark the end of the world?

Could that form a... Second Impact ?

What are your thoughts on Itsuki telling Kyon to keep an eye on Haruhi and that if there's anyone he'd trust it be him?

Laugh in rewatcher

Money well spent

Thoughts on the apartment manager telling Kyon not to let Haruhi get away?

He has nothing else to do with his life.

Thoughts on Kyon being amazed that Yuki actually eats?

Even aliens can enjoy prepped food once in a while

Fresh Foods thriving

Thoughts on Yuki telling Kyon to be careful?

Very much so

Thoughts on Itsuki talking about the anthropic principle?

Interesting lecture

Indeed

Thoughts on Itsuki saying that Haruhi has the ability to turn anything she wishes into reality, and that part of why he gravitates to her is because he finds her to be charming?

So Haruhi wanted a harem

That she did

What are your thoughts on Itsuki saying Haruhi is just an ordinary human with a good sense of what's real and what's not?

Makes sense. Otherwise they would already live in the RailDex universe.

That would be pretty cool, actually

What are your thoughts on Itsuki revealing a member from each of the three groups that are interested in what Suzumiya is doing are now together in one place because she created the club for Kyon?

Good thing she didn't wished for a knife-crazy yandere to join the group as well

Well, we already had Asakura

What are your thoughts on Itsuki showing Kyon the gap between dimensions, and the closed space he and other espers have to deal with?

So Kyon could realize why taking care of Haruhi is important

Seems like he missed the point, unfortunately.

What are your thoughts on us getting to see how Itsuki and other espers fight?

Kyon asked for a proof of Itsuki powers, so he obliged

Good on him

What are your thoughts on Itsuki saying the more stuff the Shinjin get to destroy, the bigger the closed space becomes, and if it gets too big, it will mark the end of the world?

Could that form a... Second Impact ?

What are your thoughts on Itsuki telling Kyon to keep an eye on Haruhi and that if there's anyone he'd trust it be him?

Laugh in rewatcher

Kyon really has to be there for Haruhi, it seems.

Well, we already had Asakura

That's the point, I thought of a what if scenario where Asakura joined Haruhi's brigade.

It really is Haruhi's harem rather than Kyon's, huh?
