First of all- I watched it here

A raw with resonable quality.
Moving to my opinion- well, what can I say, enjoyed it. Kyon seems a bit overreacting in this episode, but that's not 'nuff to bug me. I couldn't imagine a best present from KyoAni for my birthday. Well, I could, but nevermind.
One thing though- if you actually don't fall asleep watching American action movies like I do, you might not like the Kyoto ways of doing things.
Ha ha, 'twas not the last episode of this arc!
