you really think so?
No Yaya in this episode so I wouldn’t normally have a post. But given that I’m curious to hear Skane’s exposition on Tamaoism this week, here’s a seed bed for that. ;)
Even at the remote beach house, Tamao’s presence follows the pair in the form of her sandwiches. I wonder if Shizuma wanted them eaten before they got to the house so that another physical reminder of Tamao had been dealt with?
For adherents of Yukiism, this episode marks the first episode (in both Kyon and Haruhi orders) where we can celebrate the sight of St Nagato-chi in casual clothes and in swimwear!
This is also an episode where the anime diverges significantly from the novel’s relevant chapter. The anime gives Haruhi a bigger role in how the plot unravels; there’s no Haruhi x Kyon cave scene in the novel; Kyon’s imouto doesn’t join them for the visit in the novel version.
The anime also cuts out some really cute lines about Yuki e.g. prior to boarding the ferry, Kyon describes her thus: “For once, Nagato was not wearing her uniform, but a checkered sleeveless shirt. Carrying a yellowish-green umbrella, she gave the impression of a weak girl who just came out of the hospital.” Now, how moé is that!!? Or Itsuki’s introduction of the SOS Dan to Yukuta: “This is Nagato Yuki-san. Her grades are so good she’s seen as an encyclopedia never seen before in this world. She doesn’t talk much, but that’s where her charm point is.” *Zyl nods vigorously*
