Of Swords and Parasols

I have now finished The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and Eden of the East.  I have little to actually say about both, but both very much live up to their hype.  Also, thankfully, Haruhi watches just fine chronologically, but it's very easy to see how the dramatic bildup and reveals would work much better when viewed in a different order.  Now that I have the DVDs, I'll have to rewatch in the aired order.  I may also now have the first few light novels.  I understand thst there's a second season of Haruhi and a movie for Eden of the East.  Does anyone have opinions on those?

And Allison and Lillia has been licensed.  This makes me extremely happy.

Unrelated to anime:  I am still watching the Richard Todd Robin Hood series (I'm somewhere around ep 90 of 143) and a serf just appeared with a very familiar voice and I was all "You sound familiar.  You do not look familiar but you sound familiar!"  Andthen I eralized it was a way younger Hudson from Upstairs, Downstairs.
