its fun and interesting if you like slice of life, has sci fi elements that are cool and theres a sense of mystery over the entire series. this is a decent series but i truly think the movie is tiers above the show however the show is still fun so i think its worth it to watch thru the show to get the the masterpiece of a movie. I suggest you skip the endless 8 arc tho because its 8 episodes that are identical and it gets boring and tiresome, you can get the gist of the arc if you watch the first and last episodes of the arc

The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya is one of the best anime films of all-time and is absolutely worth watching no matter what even if you have to watch 24 episodes. Does that motivate you to watch the series?

#2 more or less described what to expect. I recommend you to watch the first two seasons in order to get to know the characters better. Otherwise you won't get the full experience of the movie.

You shouldn't have too high expectations of the show, though (at least the two first seasons). If you've already watched plenty of slice of life or high school comedies you won't see anything new or groundbreaking. It was simply good for its time.

The movie is on another level, though, and will definitely be worth the watch.

Not a huge fan of the series - the movie was good, seasons 1 and 2 were just okay, nothing special for me, i didnt really like the fillers and found myself bored watching them. If you dont like slice of life genre that much i think there is a high chance that you will get bored a little, but you can give it a try i guess, after 3 episodes you will see if you like it or not

Yep. She got cancelled hard core, she even left the country for a little bit and moved to NY for acting school. long and short of it is that photos leaked showing her having sex with her band. If you Google it you can get the whole story, there's some more to it but that's the gist.

Her career has shifted, and she does theater now

Let me sell this to you. Back before 2006, there were a lot of school anime of course, but there weren't many school anime that focused specifically on characters creating an after school club that did various things. The explosion of the popularity of Haruhi is what inspired all these shows to come, including Sket Dance, Hyouka, and dozens of others. However, none of these shows are exactly what Haruhi is, which is some combination of mystery, sci-fi and romance. In the original broadcast order (which you should watch it in), you would have struggled to speculate what happened next, why they were happening, and the arcs such as the murder mystery on an island gave somewhat of an adventurous vibe that keeps you on the edge. In chronological order, which the show was released in, some of that tension is dispelled from having the reveal happen too early in the show.

Also, The Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi, the movie, is actually a great example of sci-fi done right. If you've seen the Bunny Girl-senpai movie, there are numerous parallels. It's clear, in fact, that Bunny Girl-senpai was greatly influenced overall by Suzumiya Haruhi, and not just because it's an after school club anime.

You might find Endless Eight boring, especially if you found Tatami Galaxy boring, but it wasn't insignificant or pointless to the plot. While it was a bit confusing at first, and not being able to figure out what the point was contributed to a lack of attention, but eventually the point does pull through.

She's gone on record saying she would do haruhi again and has revoiced her older roles from time to time after the incident. She even had a small role in Maid War, but for the most part hadn't done anything major in a long time.

It is a show about a spoiled brat that is apparently a god that bullies and rapes her club mates and everybody has to go along with it cause she is a god. Although she doesn’t know she is a god. Also she wants to film the rape and show it to the whole school…

If you like bullying watch this if you don’t like your main character being a spoiled piece of shit don’t watch this show.

Think of it like a more action packed bunny senpai and all the characters are very kewl and fulfill they're role very well + it has a decent amount of fanservice if you're into that stuff

If you like bullying watch this if you don’t like your main character being a spoiled piece of shit don’t watch this show.
And Clannad is about a passive aggressive creep with nothing better to do, but doesn't want to admit it, getting dragged around by a bunch of girls that all seem like they have Down syndrome but still made it into high school somehow, and this stereotypical nice guy tries to solve the problems of everyone he meets like Captain Save-a-hoe. And Gintama is about a bunch of freeloading townies that dodge rent, fight the police, and do nothing all day buy roleplay samurai and pick boogers. If you like being a loser, watch Clannad and Gintama. If you like your main character having a life and being productive in life, don't watch these shows.

See? We can do that with everything.

Someone is mad ahhahaha
I just literally summed up one of the arcs in this show. I did not degrade it at all, I just told it how it is. Unlike how you degraded the other shows. She literally is a bully and irredeemable and should not have friends (but that is just my opinion that I concluded from the facts that she bullied and raped a girl). 

You called the MC of clannad " Captain Save-a-hoe" as a way to degrade him and the show. I just said that she is a bully and a god, two objective FACTS, and the show even tells you that haruhi is a spoiled brat, so your presentation twists and degrades a show and mine objectively shows the facts that were presented in the script of the series.

Well, that's classified information, but taking the endless eight into account, she must be at least 595 years old.

Hirano overall is very vocal, that she would gladly reprise her old roles, so we will most likely hear her again in Fairy Tail.

Its not just school shit lol, theres lot more than what things seem to be on the surface. Since all kinds of super natural stuff is uncovered as time goes by and the character development of yuki nagato is pretty amazing too.

If we're talking meme wise, endless 8 is bragging rights if you went through all of it.

Overall yeah, i'd say its worth wathcing.
