| 1:41pm | Suzumiya Haruhi Season 2 episode 3: Deja Vu? | | | | All of the sudden, the story took an interesting turn. Or rather, an unexpected loop of events. Scamp had shared some of his views of how will the matter would resolve though I personally believe that the writers are simply messing us up. Now that we are certain something weird truly is going on with... | | |

| 6:57pm | Spring 2009 Wrap-up: Eden of the East, K-ON! & Ristorante Paradiso |  | | | The spring season finished like a couple of weeks ago, and I haven’t blogged about actual anime in a while, so I have decided to write about the three spring shows I have finished watching (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya 2 are still airing, and I haven’t... | | |
| 6:01pm | The Degeneration of Haruhi Suzumiya | | | | No, it's not a new novel and certainly not a new episode ending finally the Endless Eight. What follows is a point of view on a studio and a publishing house that have no respect for their customers, a recurring theme these days.

The only thing I found interesting this ep was Kyon’s reference with Macross Frontier. What’s the betting... | | |
| 12:39am | Suzumiya Haruhi 2009 - 15 (Endless Eight) |  | | | I'm going to forgo a summary again since it's pretty much the same set of events, though this episode is probably a bit closer to episode 13 than last week's episode. I do want point out a couple of the differences though because they might be important. First, they seemed to focus on the clouds and... | | |
| 9:58am | The Repetition Of Haruhi Suzumiya | | | | Real Life is working me particularly hard these days.
