I ran the 2006 version and the recent version side-by-side and got alerted when I noticed that the recent one had extended scenes. However, there weren't any previews of the following episodes. I would like to show what I saw when the sponsors were displayed, but I didn't get it.
All images were taken in chronological order in the episode "The Depression of Haruhi Suzumiya I":
These 2 images happened shortly before the below, where Kyon tries to talking to Haruhi.
This 2 images are from scene added between Kyon, Taniguchi, and Kunieda, having lunch and them hanging out at the stairs.
These 3 images happened shortly they were discussing to Kyon on how he managed to talk to Haruhi longer than anyone else.
After Haruhi drags Kyon at the top of the stairs and before Kyon is first dragged into the club room.
After Kyon was dragged to the club room.
Kyon heading there after school, when Mikuru is introduced.
There are also rumors that there are 28 episodes with the possibility of new episode being inserted between the existing ones.
10 April edit:
I have manage to get the screencaps where the sponsors are shown. Just after the opening & ending or preview of next episode, there is this 10 sec space to show the sponsors.
In the 2006 broadcast, there were drawing of cats in each episode by Hirano Aya with the music of the op/ed in the background:
But in the recent 2009 version I saw these for the opening and ending with no background music:
There were no previews of the following episode, but that could be because of the time taken up by the new scenes. Not sure if there's any significance to this.

K-ON! - Episode 1Note:This is just a trial to see if I could write up anime and may come out late or even not complete writing the whole series due to other commitments. Title of the episode and opening & ending theme are intentionally left not translated.  Everyone is now seated excitedly at the hall for the opening ceremony. (I can't help but notice: it seems to be an all-girls school and the hall interior looks like a church) Today is the first day as a High School student.    #1 廃部！  Ritsu is seen running and calling Mio along the corridor and wants to check out the clubs. Ritsu says the wants to check out the light music club, but Mio has decided on the literature club and shows the application form. Mio looks at it with a disappointed look and rips apart the form as she drags her to the music room, but finds it empty. At the staff room, Ritsu is shocked to find out that the club was going to be suspended as other members have graduated in the previous year. The teacher adds on to say that it would be suspended if there isn't at least 4 people joining the club by the end of the month. When Yui comes to call her, the teacher says that she has to go for a music lesson.  As the teacher approaches and gives Yui the music sheets, she stares blankly at Ritsu and Mio and gets shock when found out that they were staring back and drops the papers the teacher gave her a while earlier. As she picks up the paper under the table, she hit her face against the table as she tries to get back up. Mio then turns around to say that since the club is going to be suspended, she decides to join the literature club. Ritsu, however, stops her and says to herself that she would become the club president if she joins. Meanwhile, the teacher explains to Yui what she was talking to the other two about.   As Yui and Nodoka walks out, Yui repeats from earlier that she should do something and clings on to her like a parent and child.  Later, the 3 girls came out with posters for the club. Ritsu's has loud words on it, while Mio's is too small and barely filled, but Tsumugi's is decent and uses it to put up on the notice board. CM  In the music room the teacher handed the 3 girls there the form Yui had submitted and the 3 girls got excited.  As Yui get her way to the music club, she has to walk past the rooms of the clubs dedicated to extraterrestrials and zombies. As she's about to enter the room, she thinks about quitting, but then thinks about what kind of people are in the light music club. She then thoughts about scary monsters, and got frightened. As Ritsu placed her hand on Yui shoulder (where did she come from?), Yui thought that the monster she just thought of had caught her and got scared. Ritsu then recognizes her as the clumsy girl she saw in the staff room earlier. Upon realizing that she is the Yui Hirasawa that applied for the club as a guitarist, she brings her in and the other 2 girls in the room greeted her.  With some tea, delicious cake, and misconceptions later, Tsumugi asked Yui if Yui has plans to join other clubs, but she doesn't have any plans to. At that moment, Ritsu signals the rest not to let her escape. They use delicious cookies as bait to keep her in the end. Yui says that she has nothing to do if she didn't join the club and used eating delicious food in there as an excuse to make her stay there. However, Yui says that she wasn't thinking seriously when applying and had given the club false hopes and starts crying, but got happy and excited when Ritsu says that they would perform for her. They prepared their instruments and started playing music. The scene switches between them, Yui, the empty school corridors, and the early evening sky.    This episode summarized in 36 seconds. |
