I remember when SHnY first came out... I must've watched the first ep. 3-4 times before deciding to continue watching the series. I have to say, if Kyon had any other voice actor, the show would have been much less enjoyable. Keep in mind when watching that the episodes as they aired are not in line, time-wise. Like the last episode takes place near the middle of the timeline... Somehow it works, I dunno.
