Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya - Notes
--------------------------------

It's not cold in December! Stupid rest of the world with its backward seasons
"If you took an ice pick and shoved it into the ground it'd shatter the earth into a million pieces"
Nice detailing in the backgrounds already like on the bed head.... and CGI clock
CAT! Cats do not roll off the bed like that, they just run away
Caterpillar Kyon is best Kyon
"I might be worried but it's not like I'm going to do anything about it, too much work" Okay Shikamaru
Wow Kyon really is in a mood over the weather
Hahaha, that music cue cutting off when he knocks before realizing he doesn't need ... she's not there either
That's a different spot for Yuki to be sitting, odd
Hahahaha "Kept you waiting didn't I" and that blur of hair. Yay OP1~ This is best choice. Why do I know words for it though, I didn't think I'd reached that yet
HAHAHAHAHAHA USING THE COMPUTER HEAT. That's what I thought to do. I love it. It is kinda cute that Haruhi kicked Kyon out his spot for Yuki
The animation of the whiteboard wobbling as Haruhi writes on it, love it
"Not that I care but if you look at it from outside it's backwards" EXACTLY, I had the same thought, me and Kyon are very in sync
Itsuki to the rescue about Kyon not being a perv, nice timing Itsuki
I like Haruhi's theory they should also throw a party for Buddha and Mohammad
Eyyyy, double sided tape animation, trying to get that second bit of cover of can be so frustrating
"but no alcohol allowed, i swore I'd go my whole life without touching the stuff" no you just use it to drug others.... gah
Kyon commenting on what the prologue is and where the story starts, I like that
Taneguchi not having a girl any more and being sick should set off some major alarm bells for Kyon given what he's gone through
Oh, everyone looks like shit, and that dark mood, and a sudden cold. Depressed atmosphere taking literally?
And now it's starting to click for Kyon, dutch angles and all
OOOOH SHIT IT'S RYOKO, and SHE SITS BEHIND KYON?! fucking didn't expect that. So is she still an interface? Is she in control given she's in Haruhi's seat
Kyon's narration is a bit too on point this time
"But Haruhi is Haruhi" nice little return of that phrase when everyone had forgotten her
Yessss, frantic strings as he stresses, love that OST choice
At least this time he thinks to go directly to Yuki for answers/certainty rather than forgetting
All of class nine is gone, including Itsuki. But why, what does that achieve
Hahahaha, Kyon just suddenly yelling about her mole is not going to convince her o... SHE PUNCHED HIM GO GIRL FUCK YES!
34:40 - screenshot

YUKI! Best actual girl is here, sorry Itsuki
Wait is she human, she has a blanket on
That's a VERY human gesture from her, her checking her hair. Oh she doesn't know the real him, she just knows him from afar because she's got a crush on him, this is very interesting
37:50 - great shot with Yuki framed by the window frame
Oh right, Itsuki's not here because he appeared after Haruhi wished for a mysterious transfer student
WINDOWS 95! ah good memories
Is he going to search the crop circles? (post watch note: in hindsight he really should have done this)
Awwww, the little animation detail of the cat catching his claws on the blanket at 43:50
Kyon why are you trying to talk to the cat, it's not like he's going to able to talk
46:15 - Kyon in mirror screenshot

Dec 19th
"AM i happy now" melting bear face in the frost on the window making it look like it's crying, nice
Even the knocking animation wasn't repeated for the two taps, gorgeous detail
"have you ever tried writing a book yourself" "I just read" well that's very E8, observation vs agency and all that, and a pointed question too
Look at that pure joy at finding out he's not stuck in this world, that Yuki is still reaching out
Awwww she blushed so much even her ears are red - 57:00
Ah, so he still got her the library card in this world, so .... is she lying about knowing what's going on, has she altered herself to be human?
God seeing Ryoko around makes me so damn anxious
SMILING YUKI

dec20th
YES THE CROP CIRCLES ARE STILL A THING!
Ooooh, wait because he didn't go back in time she doesn't transfer to this school?
Now she's at an elite school, i.... "as long as you got the grades" Well that's not going to be the solution for him but interesting
This song when Kyon finds out about Haruhi is very ghibli uplifting, I like it
Wow that look on his face at the idea she has a different SOS club in this world, that stress blush
"anything but that" hahaha, pray to Haruhi
Eyyyyy, long hair Haruhi makes her return, probably should have expected that if Yuki still had glasses but didn't for some reason
Is he going to freak out again. Oh hey Itsuki!
She really doesn't look happy
1:18:20 wow the detail in that background hedge
AND A HEADBUTT, after the kick, wow she's giving him a beating right now
Ahhhh, wait she did see him this time, so why didn't she go to that school then. hmmmm
Tram going to the right when he was walking to Haruhi's school, and now to the left when they meet up again
Twice? Timetravel shenaningans? Wait so who called out to her, why did that dismiss her search?
HHAHAHAHAHA, of course her first reaction to the details would be "THAT IS SO COOL"
Here we go with the Itsuki explanations again
1:24:52 - that's such a cute shot with them both listening intently
"What kind of idiot would give you a lame nickname like Kyon anyway" Yeah where DID kyon come from
Itsuki rushed out of that seat so frantically like he knew that she'd just barge past him if he wasn't quick enough
"The miss Suzumiya in your world is only interested in you, not some unique ability" look at him laying that out
Hahaha, for once Kyon smiles at her plan and Itsuki is the one who's worried
Haruhi with shirt and pants with the long hair actually looks kinda good
AHAHAHAHA Kyon asking for her to wear a pony tail
"It doesn't look like it takes much effort but it's annoying trying to get it right" Yes! Thank you Haruhi!
"Capture Miss Asahina first" yeah that's still Haruhi
"Student Council Intelligence Agency" AHAHAHA
"Why did you lock the door" nostalgia,, and then Kyon says it as well, I love it
Computer turned itself on, because that's not weird at all
YUKI TYPING! Yay
Love the silence during all the typing,
Kyon reflected in Yuki's eye is a nice shot

"I will never forgive you" Wait was that Yuki? No, that was Ryoko's voice I'm pretty sure
Oooooh, this is Tanabata isn't it, three years ago, stopping whatever caused the distortion
The recap through narration is kinda annoying when we already got all of this either told or implied through the rest of the movie
At least he's smart enough to go barging in and ruining his own continuity
At least Big Mikuru knows what's going on a little bit
WAIT WHAT TIME PLANE DESTRUCTION DEVICE?! Dude... are they eliminating other time planes until only the one they have control of will be left?
Yuki did it didn't she. If she's the only one who can help him fix it, and it's not Haruhi, it has to be her
"this time in your life will be over before you realize it. It'll all be like a dream" the fragility of reality and not knowing what you have until it's gone, i love that little inclusion with the rest of the movie
I love the waving of bamboo over his head as he calls out to haruhi 1:50:00, like the wishes they made
Wait, so does this Yuki already know what's happened, what she did?
No fancy knock animation this time
Wow that cold color palate, just like her introduction in Melancholy
Haha, praying to Yuki is kinda funny
No fast talking for changing the glasses into a syringe was kinda sad
Big Mikuru looking down because she knows who did this and she's sad
That name cut out huh, but surely people know by now, but then it is for effect I guess
More biting, Two little bite marks like a little vampire
Reflected in this Yuki's eye again, waiting for him rather than anyone else, an echo of who she will be
"a collection of error data will accumulate in my memory over time. The bugs will eventually become triggers, and affect my behavior. Also these circumstances will become unavoidable" "I cannot prevent it, because I cannot identity what the error data is" oh no, poor yuki, that's not it at all
02:04:30 oh wow those Yuki visuals
Oh man, that visual of her putting on the hat and grabbing the snowflake while no one notices, fuck that hurts
"a bug, an error" and those visuals of normal-Yuki. Fucking Hell that hurts a bit
Oh many "she trusted me to make the right choice" that's a fuck load of trust, the world but also for her, her whole identity, literally taken the place of Yuki when it comes to how she is baking her entire existence on him
"I can't take much more of this" also in Yuki's position right now
The conversation with himself, his reflection in the school, like all his other reflections
I love the surrealism of these visuals as Kyon is inside his own mind, it's great
Kyon standing on his own head is certainly a hell of a visual
Hahaha, the ticket is the tag that sent him on the path to fix all of this
Another eye reflection, scared this time, poor Yuki

MOTHER FUCKING RYOKO I FUCKING KNEW THAT SHE WAS STILL FUCKING DODGY
Oh right. OH RIGHT because she wasn't in the world when Yuki remade it, so she came back independently
Oh wait she's not the same as she was, now she's just a psycho stalker. Oh man what fucked up luck
"Nagato's shadow" is a good description for her
Fucking stabbed again
NO STROBE LIGHTING KYOANI JUST DONT
No glasses this time
OH HEY IT's the young Mikuru! Both of them at once is kinda cool
Oh, it's another Kyon, how many fucking layers are there in this movie hahaha
Okay now they're just getting fancy with the animation during the zoom out with Itsuki peeling an apple
Dec 21st! So he's been out of it for a couple of days, and hence the date for the movie
Ooooh, that was the normal Yuki that stepped in with Ryoko not false Yuki waking up
Fell on the stairs in this world rather than being stabbed
AHAHAHA Kyon won the role of a Reindeer ahahaha
Peeled three apples and then cut the last one into rabbit slices
AHAHAHAHA shes in a sleeping bad beside him, that's adorable
Fuck Kyon facepalm, I want Itsuki facepalm
Hahaha, it's so unlike Haruhi to be in such an awkward situation like being tangled in her sleeping bag
HAHAHAHA she also thought about scribbling on the face of a sleeping person first like he did
stupidly good animation of Mikuru dropping her flowers
Oh haruhi stop your bluster and just enjoy the moment you doof with great bedhair
More reflections in the hospital room, we're not done
2:25:52 that character art lighting is gorgeous
Another song that I really love
Love the dynamics of this scene, talking back to back, him facing her, her head hanging
02:29:15 - Oh, there's the KyoAni pretty visuals that I'm use to seeing
"I've got the power of a loofah" AHAHAHAHAHA
Yuki in the boyfriend hoodie is too damn good
Why would she be made this way? Because she needs to catch Haruhi's eye, also because she's the control group, a totally neutral element to test against?

Dec 24th
Imagine having to have school on xmas even, that... oh ahahaha the fancy school is co-ed in the other world just so Itsuki could exist
Kyon talking about how all he did was complain, he didn't help Yuki, the days when he would just sit and watch are long gone - Sigh even MORE useless
Knowing Haruhi she WOULD pull out some weird ass crazy ingredient that should never be eaten, he's right
I like this song, the oddly Christmassy feel and the brightness of it
"you got that world, you're okay for a bit there, right? You don't mind if I take a little break before going back in time and fixing you"
What a spot to end it, I kinda wish we'd seen
This song is beautiful, I'm so going to fuck it up in AMQ
Mhmmm, reminds me of Voices from Macross Plus in a good way, especially with Yuki being the one singing it
FUCKING OUCH "a trapped consciousness, id le in time"
The repeated call as if asking over and over for reassurance
EYyyy post credits scene for the win!
Library for the win! Kyon better be there with her
She looked up!




I do like that Yuki achieved her goal, she found a way to utilize Haruhi's abilities but she made use of that for her, because she wanted to exist by herself, to have an ability to affect the world unlike E8
