OK, not exactly non-stop, for once, I'm actually relieved I get my anime watching interrupted by the occasional phone call or my folks calling me to do some errand, as it breaks away from the monotony of the 8 loops.
1. Yuki KAWAII~, more and more for each iteration.
2. When Koizumi suggested Kyon should hug Haruhi from behind and whisper "I love you" as a way to break out of the loop, Kyon of course flatly refuses. Then Koizumi suggested perhaps he should do it.
To quote from the text:
Very interestingly, I noticed in all 7 iterations (there's none for the 1st time), the viewer could never see what Kyon's expression was like.I obviously missed the expression that my face might have shown. I didn't have a mirror on me at the moment. Although Koizumi seemed to have read my mind:
"I am joking. I lack the caliber to do so. If I really step up to the plate, it will only put Suzumiya-san into an unnecessary state of confusion."
3. Joy and relief at last when Kyon finally figures out the key for getting out of the loop. Koizumi, Mikuru and even Yuki were nodding enthusiastically at Kyon's suggestion. lol
4. But the biggest lol is for Haruhi at realizing her authority is being (temporarily) usurped by Kyon and being left out by the rest of the brigade, and thus behaved in the cutest manner possible as she pouted "I'm going as well!"
That said, I don't think I'll ever rewatch all 8 episodes of EE if I ever want to rewatch the series, just the final one would do.
This would also pose a potential big dilemma for foreign TV broadcasters (e.g. Taiwan and Hong Kong) as to whether to air them all and affect their ratings.
there is always that possibility, but i believe v4 deserves eps better than a movie. i would think KyoAni could actually pull it off given their EXP with Munto TV.
