It must be something if there's 165 posts in this topic. Damn, I haven't got to see this but it does sound interesting. If only I can find it

Yes, Yes and Yes, This series is totally Fun, cool and funny to to watch. With its intellectual references and directing, how can anyone avoid this new series?
After reading most of the replies in this thread, this series turns out to be full of mysteries and secrets because of how the series is out of chronological order. Im so hyped about this series that i cant wait for the next episode! 
-DaZ P.S Geez, you guys sure do use alot of big words such as " physical manifestation" "Rashomonesque" "dry skepticism " I had to look them up at dictionary.com just to check out what they mean again. However, they are good words to add to my vocabulary.
and..
abunai.. how smart can you get?! |

All part of the requirement for academic fakery -- us Humanities majors have to know a lot of big words, to convince people that we're no more than half as fake as we seem... 
I take it that's a rhetorical question. On the odd chance that it's not, the answer is: I don't know. But if you attach any importance to IQ tests (I don't, they're generally speaking balderdash), then my IQ usually runs the gamut from 140 to 180, depending on the test. The last time I was tested (using the Daniels/Booth-Harcourt Figure Reasoning Test, which maps to the Wechsler scale), I scored 159, which is supposedly a score that puts me at 99.996% mark of the bell curve. But... it's silly. You might as well hand people a crossword puzzle or a sudoku grid. IQ tests are largely a test of the ability to take IQ tests, nothing more. All of which is absolutely offtopic in this thread. Look at the OP instead, and you'll see that the older version of Asahina has a star-shaped birthmark on her ample bosom. Then see if you can find it on the younger Mikuru-chan, in one of the Haruhi-molests-Mikuru-chan scenes (there are quite a few). There. That should get you down to Earth again.

If this series' popularity continues on the up and up, I'm sure another season adapting the novels will eventually ensue. It's still a little early to say for certain, but I wouldn't be surprised if this one turns out to be a fat cash cow.
Hahaha, hit a nerv, did he?

Ah! An excuse to stare at Mikuru's boobies. Now that's smart. |

Just rewatched the OP carefully and saw a lot more meaning in the images, like Mikuru flying by on a clock and a zoom-in on Haruhi's eye that shows the Universe in it...

There are two Mikurus in the OP. And check out the background. Tons of symbols related to cosmology, physics, and the whole nature-of-the-Universe thingy. - abunai |

Hehheh, finally someone else has found the intricacy of OP. Take notes when different characters fly from back to front one by one. Yuki - planets, spoiler[indicating she's an alien]. Itsuki - wave-like distortions and ripples, spoiler[indicating he's an esper]. Young Mikuru - sitting (kneeling?) on a giant watch: spoiler[time traveler]. Haruhi - turning four planets into the Great Seal of SOS-Dan - capable to spoiler[bend reality]. Not sure how do Ryouko, Tsuruya, Kyon's sister + Shamisen, a girl I couldn't identify, and adult Mikuru, fare. I'm still trying to interpret the hidden meanings of their respective backgrounds. There may not be any, however. |

The subs are being put out at about the rate of one per week right? Are the raws available anywhere?

Aren't the fansubs caught up with the episodes? It is a brand new series, and as far as I can tell they haven't released more than 5 episodes in Japan. So the reason they're subbing them at the rate of one every week is because that's as fast as their getting them. |

Considering what we know now (from the anime, setting aside the novels for now), there is a very interesting bit of dialogue in Episode 2. It's from Haruhi and Kyon's first real conversation, near the end.
[Haruhi stares at Kyon for several seconds] HARUHI: Have I met you before? A long time ago... KYON: Nope. Narration: The trigger... while being nothing particularly significant... This would indeed be the trigger. Who is right and who is wrong? Have they met? If they have, why doesn't Kyon remember? If they haven't, why does Haruhi respond to Kyon the way she does? There are also a few interesting cases in the first book spoiler[where Kyon's comments or observations seem to affect the real world]. Most of these haven't been covered in the anime yet so I'll wait to bring them up explicitly. |

I don't know, but I sorta get the feeling that'll be explained when we find out what happened to Kyon 3 years ago... although if I had to guess on the basis of the first 5 episodes I'd probably say that spoiler[Kyon created Haruhi, kinda like the kids were separated in two by Poom Poom in Boogiepop Phantom - so they may not have met, but they still "know" each other.] As to episode 5 being rushed, were you even expected to pick up on some of the explanations (even though I did)? Doesn't it say somewhere in Yuki's spiel that "humans can only take so much data" or something along those lines? Besides, I don't think their reasons are too important at the moment... after all, in the end they're only there because spoiler[Haruhi wanted them to be .]
