god i'm 4 minutes into the first loop episode and already i have that uncanny feeling where, though the plot progresses as i remember from last episode, i'm certain things have changed, but i can't be sure, and i don't want to check #光ハルヒHoliday 13

one thing i am sure of is that, so far, this episode has much more intense summer visual effects, which is nice #光ハルヒHoliday 13

okay god this episode really has a lot of significant differences from the previous one. it's really enjoyable noticing what they are. it'd be much more subtle if i was watching one a week as god intended #光ハルヒHoliday 13

god i'm already struck by the beauty of this concept. since it's the first episode where the characters are aware of the loop, there's some plot changes, but if you ignore those, it's still a very different episode from before… it's like a different “take” #光ハルヒHoliday 13

one of the things i keep finding myself remarking on with endless eight is how the directors are constrained by the locations in the world having to stay on-model in all eight versions. and yet, despite this, they can sometimes get them to feel different… #光ハルヒHoliday 19
