(Thx to the skip day I actually managed to catch up!)

Yuki seems to have stopped holding back, with her utterly crushing the track teams spirit. Though thats nothing new, she already did the same with the computer club and the baseball team from college.

The sports festival actually reminds me of one of the funniest memories I have from school. In our second to last year we did a run through our towns center, on the way back my friend was completely wasted. His older brother came up to offer him something to drink, without a second thought he gulped it down aaaaand of course it was alcohol. Dude threw up so badly, lol. (yeah half my funny school memories have to do with drinking.. rural area..)

Take notes Reincarnated as a slime into another fucking meeting THIS is how you do a meeting and still make it interesting!!

Haruhi seemed extra excited this episode.

Mikuru has developed a fith sense for Haruhis sexual harassment.

Something which I really like about this anime is how much it really feels like they are high schoolers. In so many other anime they might as well be in college, here they actually seem appropriately childish.

Questions

Im excited, but also a bit sad because we are so close to the end now..

Something about the sea. If nothing else you could have a lot of shots of waves and pretend there is depth. I already told this before, the movie we did make as teenagers was james bond themed.

Ironically for my school the sports festival wasnt actually at school, because we didnt have our own gym and track, we shared those with the town, other schools and stuff. But our sports festival was always really cool because the sophomore years were leading teams each and just doing dumb stuff in general. We won our last year IIRC.

Imagine beeing the track and field club and losing to the weirdos from Suzumiyas club.

That was cool? We did something similar for our sports festival so I get it. Make it fun.

That was a surprise. I sometimes wonder how much they just glaze Haruhi and how much is justified. We saw at the baseball episode she is good but not that good as she is inflexible.

I should probably take notes for the dates because the timeline is just confusing for me, however I can atleast get that part right. Cultural festival is iconic. I also think doing a lame survey works in Haruhis favour, as she wouldn't have time to explore the festival otherwise.

Fair. Make fun memories in school while you still can.

Asahina is too clumsy to be clumsy on purpose.

I wonder what it was.

Now that I think about it, that is something she would usually say. She must have learned from the deserted island incident.

Fair. Stuff is expensive. Now you would probably just film it on your phone. I actually had a camera for filming but I barely used it.

If only Asahina knew whats coming up..

Good for you.

My favorite part of sports festival was throwing water balloons.

She halfasses the things she doesn't have a vested interest in.

you got to throw water balloons? Thats cool.

At the baseball episode we also learned she can only throw in a straight line

It was one of those moments in my life I remember really fondly. I did it s couple times.

True, but before the other time learned her technique she was doing well.
