Project Haruhi

I officially like Saeko now.

Could do with a bit less chest though.

Also...

She reminds me of me. Except I'm less busty, and not as kick-ass.

Why?
Its HSOTD thats why! Despite the attempt at the much needed plunge into some sort of character development HSOTD 9 had to go back to remind us its roots are deeply embedded in ecchi. Still HSOTD 9 did make the effort and that will bring me back for ep 10.

I don't remember in the manga, so I'm gonna guess there is going to be a definite split at some point.

I've just watched the 10th episode...
...and it was better. I mean, there was more of a plot emerging, I think. Not as much boobage, except the first, like, thirty or so seconds before the OP, that made me facepalm, but then when: And then Hirano- poor guy. But wait, the preview. I think Takashi has a weird way of dealing with women. Does he really feel the need to squeeze their boobs, pick them up, slap them, etc., to make his point?
What next? Will he shoot the little girl to get her to shut up? She is annoying, though.
I really want the next episode right now. I want to see what happens with

Oh, gosh. Episode 11- this really made me angry, it just annoyed me. It was hardly the best episode.
I don't even know what to say- there was hardly anything in it that made me want to even watch the next episode, apart from the last five minutes or so, and the previews.
Complete rage at how the adults acted after the opening. I'm 18, but in a crisis like this, I'd still be classed as a kid- I would personally say experience should be counted before anyone gets called a power-hungry school kid, etc. However, I really did want to see Of course, I will watch the next episode. Perhaps the only reason I'm doing so this week is because I'm still clinging to a hope that it's going to get much better. Who knows how many episodes there are left?
God, I don't know how much more falmpalming my forehead can take.

HSOTD 12.....
What can I say?
There was a fair amount going on in this one and it felt like they were rushing through it trying to tie in more of the splinter plot lines. Yet I noticed that the fan-service in the past couple of eps didn't dominate and more plot got through, but was it too little too late?

^--- I agree, with everything. I mean, they really did have much more time to flesh out the plot, which they used mostly for boobage.
I don't think, for the most part and most people, that they redeemed themselves enough in this episode, or the last say, two or three. But I know I will be waiting to see what they do next season.
Until then, I have to find something decent to watch.
