Since this episode was basically the exact same as last episode, I'm not even going to bother with a summary this week. All of the changes were relatively minor (their clothes, Yuki wearing the mask this time, Haruhi not needing to be prompted about cicadas, and so on), though Kyon was slightly more suspicious this time around. Like last week, Kyoto Animation reanimated everything from different angles and with different shots, and it sounded like all the lines were re-recorded too. I'm sure by the end of all this, if not already, the voice actors will be able to recite those lines by heart. I can't decide if Kyoto Animation is doing this to troll us, or if they're buying time so that they don't have to actually cover all that much new material, or if this is stunt for the sake of pulling a stunt, or what. Whatever the reason, as I said earlier, I'm really hoping that they don't do this for eight straight episodes or for the rest of the season. I wouldn't put it past them though, and I'll probably go into next weeks episode expecting it not to conclude again.
