The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi Series
Tagged under Noizi Ito, Kyoto Animation, Series.
Haruhi Suzumiya is a beautiful first year high school student who is smart, who is athletic, and who won't turn down any guy who asks her out. The problem is that she isn't interested in anyone or anything who isn't an alien, time traveller, slider, or esper (and as such no guy has lasted for more than a week with her), and when she realizes that none of the clubs at school cater to her highly eccentric tastes, she drafts her classmate, Kyon (the narrator and voice of reason) and forms the "Suzumiya Haruki's Save our World by Overloading it with Fun Brigade" (the S.O.S. Brigade for short). Nobody quite knows what the club does other than to satisfy the whims of Haruhi, but it is becoming evident that there is more to Haruhi than it seems, and that there may be more truth to her delusional beliefs than reason would leave most to believe.

SnickerdoodleNinja's The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi Tv Review
Rated:
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is an original show with an original premise and painfully unoriginal humor, despite the fact that it presents itself as a comedy. Considering that the series revolves around the supernatural, the sky was the limit in terms of originality and possibility. Actually, not even the sky was the limit-provided the creators had the originality, anything was possible for Kyon and his friends-which just makes it that much more depressing that the series settles for fan-service humor and filler episodes such as the typical baseball outing without providing enough of a twist to make them memorable.

this show is a solidly good anime and is in a genre all its own. I like the fact that you could watch in multiple orders and im probably going to go back and rewatch it in the other order. The series had me busting out laughing many times because of either Haruhi's absurd plans ut of boredom or Kyon's "I dont give a f***" attitude. Overall, everyone should at least watch the first season and do not turn away from the series because of the first episode which will leave you saying WTF. If season two lives up to the first or succeeds this show would get a 10.
adelin95 rated 4.50:The story is confusing and if I'm not mistaken, the lining up of episodes changes according to the narrator? Like WTF? o___O I got so tired of it basically lost interest in it. I'm not being mean here though.
SolemnSerpent rated 6.75:I never thought I'd enjoy it as much as I did- but I was proven wrong. Haruhi makes you want to kill yourself though, at times. She can be an unlikable character and an annoying moron who abuses others, but the general idea of the plot is what drew many in and held them in place. The show is decent, but it's not worth the hype.
minayuri rated 5.00:A fun watch to perk you up with an interesting take on a silce of life anime, but season 2 ruins the fun with the Endless Eight arc. Could've been made into a solid 24 episode series played chronologically before leading up to the events of the movie which make up for Season 2. Haruhi herself is however unlikeable as a character and the voice acting could've been done better such as having a more balanced cast of new and veteran seiyuu, however I liked Minori Chihara and Tomokazu Sugita's performances as Yuki and Kyon respectively.
Xafilah rated 9.50:Love it. It has no genre, but if I had to place it, I would say it's a slice-of-life/Romantic comedy. for a guy who usually watches horror, this was amazing, going into a different direction, and still liking it.
Music: 8/10 a little lacking, or I was just too busy watching
Characters: 9/10 great, but does fall into some stereotypes (or maybe Haruhi wanted it that way >.>)
Animation: 10/10 rating says it all
Story: 10/10 whats even more awesome, is that you can watch it in (almost) any order and still have it make sense.
Usually I hate that, but here is an exception.
