Well, as the title says I’m just about to head on vacation. In fact as I’m writing this, at 2am, I’m hours away from having to leave for the airport, having yet to pack anything. I’m going with my family to Washington D.C. for a whole week over the 4th of July. I have no idea what we’ll actually do other than just visit museums, but it at least should be a good change of pace from normal boring stuff that happens.

I felt that I just had to say something about the latest resurgence of Trap Hayate. Although obviously not the first appearance of him, it still is hilarious and just…interesting to watch when he makes an appearance like this. However not only did he just appear for five seconds or so like in previous episodes, this whole couple episode arc is focused on him and being in trap mode which is quite unexpected, but again very….interesting.
I think one of the best parts of Hayate going into trap mode is just the reactions for pretty much very character that sees him. Everyone pretty much seems to agree he look good like that and want him to stay that way. I loved the way Nagi was just shaking telling Maria to make sure she tells Hayate that she is fine with Hayate being dressed like that. And of course Maria who is usually quite reserved gets very flustered at the site of Trap Hayate, which is fun to see. I’m sure the same response wouldn’t be had with anyone who cross-dresses, but for Hayate’s character it seems to go perfectly. There have already been several quotes this season, “What are you, a girl?” from various characters regarding Hayate’s normal look and actions, so I guess Trap Hayate fits perfectly. In any event, it makes for a very interesting episode.

With the semi recent airing of the second new Haruhi episode I figured I would take a quick moment to address the order of the new episodes airing, as it can get confusing. I also want to just state how I will be titling the episodes that I do to avoid any confusion.
First off, I will be naming the episodes “Suzumiya Haruhi II - ## - (2009 - ##)
This simply means the first number there will be the airing order of new episodes; so far we only have 01 and 02. In parenthesis, I’ll have the 2009 collaboration season’s airing order. The first one was of course 08, and the more recent one was 12.
My reasoning behind this is that the new episodes can in a way be considered their own season, as they are after all the first new episodes in over several years. However they are also part of the grand collection of episodes, hence the 2009 listing. I hope this is clear to everyone.
I do want to share, as I found it useful, a list of all episodes in the 2009 run, credit to Sanaku Complex where I got the list, where it was taken from 2ch.
