I'll just give you the heads up on the endless eight episodes in season 2. You'll know what I’m talking about when you watch the second episode in the endless eight saga and realise it's almost identical to the first endless eight episode you just watched. There is a valid reason behind it though.
Also Xander you might be interested in the chibi Haruhi-Chan series. Very cute and funny. Dunno if it's available in Scotland yet though. You can watch some of the mini episodes in English on Youtube however.
