This episode jumps back to where ep 03 left off, and basically is quite a serious episode.

It provides the background story of who Yuki, Mikuru and Itsuki are. Basically, ones an alien, another a time traveler, and the last one an esper with esp powers. Basically they all gathered to investigate a phenomenon known as Haruhi, who seems to be something like that of a God. Er, how the stories all weave together is something for those interested in philosophy to think about.

Finally more background of the story is given. This ep is more of dialogue and background, but it still had its funny moments. Mikuru just looked so adorable in this episode, making you wondering how somebody can be like that. (then again.. if she can be a time traveller…) Watching Haruhi’s interaction with Kyon, while knowing that she most probably has an interest in him, also makes the plot interesting.

Really do like the colours used for animation

Next epsidoe would jump to yet another story again though. Looking forward to more laughs on a trip to the island.

I’ve got to say though. I’m totally addicted to the OP and ED. Makes you want to find a group of friends and perform the ED. haha
