Well I’ll be damned, they actually had something that just barely qualifies as a plot this time. While the episode title basically sums it up, it gave this week’s showing some direction amidst all the jokes.
「その男 下僕?」 (Sono Otoko Geboku?)
“That Guy is a Slave?”
Now introducing the manba childhood friend, Sumiyoshi Kanako. As if cat problems weren’t enough, Junpei now has to be a slave to his childhood friend for the day.
Summary:
Two years ago, on the night of the Tokyo Explosion incident, twins Suou and Shion Pavlichenko had been with their father during a meteor shower, and an actual meteor had crashed into their Siberian campsite.
After the final episode (Someday in the Rain) of the current broadcast run finished today, it was announced that there would be a movie version of the next volume, the Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi, coming Spring 2010. No other important information is given, other than the extended shot of Yuki. I’m actually a bit apathetic towards more Haruhi at this point, but I guess we’ll see how it turns out.
More exciting to me right now is the first episode of Darker than BLACK Ryuusei no Gemini which just finished airing. I’ll have a full post up a little later, but it was as good as I’d hoped it’d be, and they did a nice job reintroducing the series and its concepts. It had a surprising amount of lighthearted moments in the first half, but then things got really exciting, building up to a great cliffhanger, and they even killed off some characters already (or so it would appear).
Summary:
Hanato Kobato arrives in a park one day with her stuffed dog companion Ioryogi with the wish to go to a certain somewhere, but to do that, she has to fill a special bottle using the hearts of people who have been hurt and healed.
