Why was the "God Knows" scene so praised by not only Haruhi fans but also the anime fans in general? It's like your typical anime insert song band scene. Am I not getting it? I just finished the episode. Haruhi was fucking cute in the end tho.

it's just a good song, calm down.

The scene itself was shit, much like the rest of Haruhi honestly, but the song is decent. Whoever composed it should receive all the recognition.

It was pretty good for a 2006 anime

I don't know I didn't even like Haruhi all that much but I always rewatch this scene. For some reason it's just really touching, especially that shot of Kyon completely captivated by the performance

Actually now that I sat on it more, I guess it's more to do with how much it meant to Haruhi as a character? The whole spiel of Kyon realizing the post-performance afterglow Haruhi got really opened up things in the meaning of it. I think outside of the animation and music, I guess I can see why the scene was praised. It was pretty much character development for her.

I learned something today after i made this thread, cheers, user.

Quads laying down the truths.

You know how people pad up boring and overlong presentations with a cool movie they had no part in making? That's basically that scene.

your quads is witnessed OP, God Knows.

Good animation

It's part due to Haruhi doing that to actually help people for once (see the later scenes) and that the lyrics make it a reference to the events of Melancholy 6. She's basically talking to Kyon here

>calling something cliche
>anime came out over a decade ago and defined the medium
no shit lmao

This. It's a touching scene, and the smooth animation and great music just brings the whole thing up to the next level.

You only find it typical because it has been copied by every single high school romcom since then.

It's kind of like watching Ranma and complaining it uses every cliche ever in harem series.

FUTARI WA GOD KNOWS

Did Haruhi really set the standard with that band scene? I don't watch much of the slice of life types so I can't say for certain.

Yeah. People go MUH CLICHES but that's not the point, it was just an important moment for Haruhi as a character, and Kyoani went all the way to make it good.

>posts trully genuine smile of Haruhi
>asks why is it good

No, it really was just the music.

unironically the dumbest post I've seen in some time

She went from "Join the SOS Brigade!" to "Your son calls me brigade leader too" real quick.

Which viewing order did you watch it in?

Broadcast order is much better, and the episodes follow a better emotional beat. When season 2 came out and they showed everything in chronological order, I wondered why I thought the show was so great, until I went back and did the original order. Everything just flows better.

Unfortunately, brainlets will always recommend that people watch chronologically, because "it didn't make any sense to me." I think its ruined everyone's perception of the show.

Maybe for brainlets like you.

Airing order is a unfunny meme just like the anime Endless Eight. Haruhi story is good enough without scrambling and padding the story because muh originality.

College Haruhis is great!

That's stupid, you yourself said that it was loved by people who arent even haruhi fans. If that was the reason then why would they care?

The overall scene is masterful, the animation is smooth and full of emotion, the moment itself is very important to know the characters better
