The Sighs of Haruhi Suzumiya V (END?)- And We All Fall Down (In Despair)

By Calawain | Published: September 12, 2009

Let’s all pray for Disappearance, for Yuki’s sake. Surprisingly enough, the fifth episode of Sighs was actually pretty good, and got us back to the actual story and intrigue that makes this show fun to watch. Too bad we couldn’t have seen this a couple of months ago, but alas that’s a rant for another [...]

The Sighs of Haruhi Suzumiya IV- Kyon’s Rage (Plus Tsuruya)

By Calawain | Published: September 5, 2009

After 3 rather uninspiring episodes of Sighs, episode four brings us rage, drunken escapades, near fisticuffs, and of course, a stunning Tsuruya. All good stuff, even if it’s not Disappearance. The inspiration for this post was mostly the Kyon rage.

Yoku Wakaru Gendai Mahou, Episode 6- Next Please

By Calawain | Published: August 17, 2009

Well I was somewhat unimpressed with the conclusion to the past arc of sorts. The combat was a bit boring, although it was nice to see Misa doing some herself. But the combat wasn’t particularly interesting, just throwing swords around and making blue ball barriers. Also, large chunks of the fight sequence [...]

Yoku Wakaru Gendai Mahou, Episode 5- Calm Before the Storm

By Calawain | Published: August 12, 2009

Can’t get enough misa Post is a bit late but I had to gush about the awesomeness that was Sunday’s episode of Saki and I went to a Yankees game last night. Episode wasn’t exactly exciting either, more like a set-up for next week.

Troll /end

By Calawain | Published: August 7, 2009

Well, it took 8 episodes but they finally finished wasting all of our time. I would have thought it impossible, but I actually skipped entirely watching episodes 15-18 (and everything but the last couple of minutes of 19). From what I gather from the sad souls that actually watched them, nothing happened. [...]
