I skipped after 3 of those episodes. Landed on the final one directly. Benefits of streaming.
I cannot begin to imagine to torture of waiting an entire week to watch your favourite show on TV, only to find out it's the same fucking episode, but animated and voiced a bit differently. π
Oh wow, yeah your breakdown there made me think about my time watching it. I really liked Haruhi's character because of how bold she was.

If this was a universe I was writing I would of framed her as a young god that needs tempered by experience.
If that gives you a hard time sleeping I wonder what a story about a prepubescent girl committing war crimes in the name of the fatherland would do to you.
