I feel like the dreams are becoming more and more like a metaphor.

I like how Yuki is becoming slightly more and more comfortable each episode with herself though. And oh yeah, I see that Haruhi is back...well there's the energy bought back again into the series.

Feeling much like the first half of the series now with the club's misadventures.

In a space, Yuki explaining Yuki-chan what happened between the time Yuki-chan unconscious briefly. It's like sister talk when talking about their love. Though Yuki-chan feeling a bit complex with the feeling that both of them knows of them. It got noisy again when Haruhi and Koizumi are back.

Preparing for Tanabata. lol @ both of them being itchy the same time. Two wishes per person. They can feel Kyon is being conscious of Yuki-chan. The memory when Haruhi and Kyon met are the same as the main series. It's nice to know how Haruhi felt meeting him.

ED back to Yuki-chan ver. Beach ep. next!!

Not a lot to say about this, but it was inteesting to see how the other Yuki's confession affected the way Kyon acted towards her in this episode. That aside, I liked the way that they related that to Haruhi's similar conflict related to the Kyon from her past.

Looks like there are a few references to Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody. Overall, entertaining. I also noticed that the ending is slightly different from the original. Just a couple differences that would be easy to miss.

It seems Kyon has somewhat realized his feelings for Yuki. Dang, I kinda felt bad for Haruhi, though. My goodness, that preview is going to be very interesting...

I'm all for Kyon and Yuki possibly becoming a couple and I know this is her series but I feel bad for Haruhi as annoying as she is. It would be nice if Kyon could please both girls without it being a harem as I am not really fond of them.

Thank goodness Haruhi is back, it's terrible to see her like this. She is clearly in a world of hurt here.

Bring the original Yuki back and have her claim her man (which is the point of this entire arc),
if not..... then Haruhi needs to step it up and put an end to this disaster.

Kyon seems to have gone brain dead in this arc, subtle hints by Haruhi went completely over his head.

2 episodes left to put some Haruhi magic into this blah....

Best things about this series :
1. Haruhi
2. Arigatou, Daisuki - Minori Chihara, the full version is amazing.
3. Asakura, she carried this entire series from the start.

And so begins the Haruhi "Tanabata" arc. With some Nagato stuff as well. She's back to being lazy and playing her PSP. The other Nagato was much cooler, this one feels like a klutz.

Asakura has made this show worth watching. Just having gaming Nagato would be a pain. Poor Haruhi, taking back seat while Kyon doesn't even realize Haruhi's moves.

I'd rather have Haruhi/Asakura these last final eps, especially Asakura. She's pure fun to watch.

I really do enjoy hearing Nagato saying "sou."
After seeing Yuki and Nagato in that "dream" side-by-side, I really miss Nagato.

Also, I have a feeling that the authors were trying to imply Haruhi did not find out about the other Yuki through Asakura.

Haruhi saves the episode now that true nagato is gone. Like I said during the first few episodes of this series, I really hope she takes over completely.

Boring Nagato is back, meaning the show has become boring again. :( Haruhi's presence was able to save it a bit, but it wasn't enough.

Another great episode, Haruhi is much more appealing than either Nagato. Maybe another spin off focusing on Haruhi, but with an actual romance conclusion.

Nice Haruhi x Kyon interaction in the end of this ep, together with dream Yuki x Yuki sequence at the beginning those were highlights of this episode. Clumsy Nagato was somehow toned-down but I still can't care for her enough.

The dream meeting between the two Yuki's was nicely done, as was the moments between Haruhi and Kyon. Once again, the OST really carries the important scenes and makes them more enjoyable.

Looking forward to the beach episode next week.

Regardless of how I don't feel so good about that awkwardness between Kyon and Yuki after she's back, it's actually necessary to add reality to the show.
Koizumi was my favorite thing in this episode though, I don't why but this anime brings me nostalgia, somehow it feels like I'm sighting a dream !!

Haruhi is back, flasbacks, emotion, tension, good episode overall. As someone pointed, did Kyon have the same voice when he was a kid as he has now?

Apart from the references to the Bamboo Leaf Rapsody I guess that the two Nagatos talking is a reference to the seventh novel when

Also back to the regular ending with a few changes nice. And that .preview was a bit misleading. Anyway, the end is near.

This episode was entertaining. I'm glad we got an explanation on this universe's variation of John Smith. Looks like next episode is the beach episode that every seasonal anime has at some point.

Liked the Haruhi focused 2nd half. It's nice seeing her serious thoughts instead of all the genki on the outside for once :P

I'm liking Ryouko more and more. Love her voice and love her as a character <3
Her "Okairi" while tearing up was really nice :3

Nice wrap up to the titular arc and lots of references to the main show.

Haruhi is the star whenever she shows up, but too bad this is Yuki-chan's show so her feelings have to take a back seat.

Hopefully Kadokawa and Tanigawa are paying attention to fan's reactions - there is still a lot of demand for Haruhi.

Tanigawa has been noticeably writing a lot of Haruhi-chan and helping Puyo with Yuki-chan lately. Hopefully to hold us over until the next book comes out.

Ahh, I already miss Yuki~ Yuki-chan is too shy, I really dislike this type of characters, especially in romance series.

I love Haruhi here though, her crying face when Asakura knew about Tanabata made me laugh a bit :D I hope that these last episodes will have more focus on her...

Correction. Kyon is the main character of the main series. Unless you were referring to him, which in that case would be a rather depressing plot twist

very smooth transition to bring haruhi back...

like how kyon is now more flustered than nagato

lol @ itchy dance (also the sketch after ep preview)

i'm sorry but i'm going all-out for haruhi x kyon here... it's not her series but damn you can't say no to that when you know what she actually thinks... if book nagato comes back then it'd be a different story though

Agreed, she's definitely a character that improved this show.
Unlike how she was in the original series, to be fair she didnt have a big role there though.

Cripes, I can't stand this shit.

Suddenly, Haruhi's feelings come into play when we've only got two episodes left to MAYBE possibly POTENTIALLY explore them PERHAPS because you never know with this basket-case show. Can they make up their mind on what they want to do???

First, they force 9 episodes worth of contrived YukixKyon fanservice down our throats, THEN they introduce a character with real conflict, real emotion, and tangible fear as Kyon's love interest just to throw her into oblivion, and NOW they want to play the "suddenly, I'm jealous" card and throw Haruhi's personality under the bus to fit their romcom, slice of life, teenage drama narrative they've crafted "SO WELL" over the course of FOURTEEN EPISODES.

SERIOUSLY man, what the f*ck. They should've just stopped at the REAL disappearance of Yuki Nagato, cause when she left last episode, that's when the REAL titular arc began. Because seriously, SHE felt more like Yuki in three episodes than this moe airhead has in the 10 episodes she's had.

I'm fuming. One minute, they'll have you shipping Kyon and Yuki, the next, suddenly it's Haruhi and Kyon. I wish these people would make up their damn minds and stop undermining the progress they've made so far...

EDIT: And it's not as if I hate Haruhi or Yuki. I like both of them. I like both of them a lot. I love Kyon and Koizumi too. But in this series, everything is all wrong. It's all mixed up and not in the good way. I feel like the cast I knew has been retconned for a mediocre, imitation line up.
