I really don't see Haruhi as a "moe show". It's more of a snide take on the school ensemble program with a sci-fi twist. Yes, it has moe elements, but those aren't the point of the show.

The music to me seems to put across a loss of hope, which I guess is relevant. Haruhi has moe elements because it has never really taken its sci-fo elements too seriously in my opinion. |

It's probably better that way. While still having high production values, Endless Eight is practically just one episode, and Sighs focuses too much in the abuse of Mikuru and I find lacking the first season's more witty writing. I sometimes wonder if Tanigawa Nagaru's forced to do more writing than his wit is capable of. Anyway, still looking forward to this. |

I played it back when I was still taking lessons. It was fiendishly difficult but I don't remember the timing being an issue. In films it is always used to highlight "sad" moments - IIRC the first time I heard it was in Short Circuit 2. |

That was their first mistake by using this music. It was "suspense", not "sad". That's why the music fell flat, but that doesn't exactly mean the music was bad; it was a bad choice, really, to try and make the trailer look like something grand. |

It's Tsuruya. It will make more sense in context, and I assume that there will be enough more footage in the movie so that you can tell what's actually going on. |

On your comment about the song and its impact on the trailer: I personally don't see this song choice as a mistake, nor do I believe it makes the trailer grand. Instead, it feels much more understated and personal to me. Perhaps if it wasn't so impressionist I would be more inclined to say it is grand. It's a very (seemingly) simple piano piece. spoiler[Also, having gone through the novels, this song feels cathartic as to the emotions that race through Kyon when everything happens. He will change, and the process will be both painful and endearing for some. The sudden realization, the unsettled feelings, and the closing day. It's a little sad, and it's definitely calm, but what rings in the end is the restlessness that resembles Kyon's knowledge of what was, what is, and what should be. To add to the feeling, this rendition of Eric Satie's Gymnopédie No.1 has a deeper and darker timbre, with a more profound reverb effect to give a surreal and lonely quality to the song. (I love this version a lot. Props to whoever played it for the recording.) Overall, a wonderful prelude to what I hope will be a good adaptation to the 4th novel.] As an aside, and to no one in particular, there aren't many people out there who watch this series for Kyon. It's a little sad when I think about it. The story will be more about Kyon than about Nagato. By the time you knew it was home, it was already too late to go back... |

Heh, I always watched for Kyon and in his order. I wouldn't abide the show at all if he wasn't there to make it work out. [POV character I guess, or like a friend or brother, or maybe even yourself] by the time you knew it was home? you feel this more keenly as you get older...
