The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (light novel)
| Yes it's really good. |
manalishi said: I don't really like anime. they all seem to be high school themed and the main character never makes any solid moves towards the main girl character OR they "end up friends" (which I all dislike). So I accidentally discovered this and in my language it has a professional VO with great cast and I liked the actors a lot. Now my question is: Is it worth watching? Cause I didn't now anything about this anime and basically picked it based on VO actors. I watched a few episodes and it's alright but I've read online that it doesn't develop much. It's great. It's nothing like you're probably picturing it. I Probably wouldn't even actually describe it as a romance anime. I recommend it, but I will say this: Its an anime. If you don't like anime, then you probably won't like it. I'm not accusing you of this, but keep in mind, you don't have to try to force yourself to like something that you don't just because it's trendy. Like what you like and move on from what you don't. That's my real recommendation. |

| Yes, it is very entertaining. btw, Broadcast order for me, it was enjoyable and mysterious that way. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Absolutely. Especially The Dissapearence movie. 10/10 |
| The tv show is pretty fun, but the movie is a masterpiece. The books are really good too |
| Nino is the objectively superior one, don't @ me |
| It’s the only good thing Kyoani has ever done, which is even more remarkable when you consider that the best episode to come from the entire series (Someday in the Rain) wasn’t anywhere in the source material. To better answer your question, Haruhi has a specific appeal to pedantic weirdos like me that value stories which are carried by interesting concepts and rules to the universe that only increase and coincide with one another as the show goes on. The series is fundamentally about a bunch of eccentric teens going about their school days and attempting to find their place in the world, though, so don’t expect some massive overarching threat that these concepts build up to. If underdeveloped romantic undercurrents are something that you’re strongly against, you might be turned away. The second season in particular begins to focus on the implication that all of the happenings during the show are because Haruhi loves the protagonist, which it promptly walks back at the end of each arc without any development or growth from it’s cast. However, Haruhi isn’t a romance. The show is more in line with the urban fantasy and coming of age genres, so it shouldn’t bother you too much. As everyone else has said, give it a go. The only judgement you can really trust is your own. |

| Are the people that create these types of threads just falseflagging to generate discussion on otherwise dead shows? What do you mean you "don't really like anime" because "they all seem to be high school themed" when every single anime on your list has a cast of high schoolers? What the fuck? |
 |
| Nope, it wasn't good when I watched it, as I watched it from 1-14 in that order, meaning episodes 13 & 14 were a double repeat of episode 12, which really sucked. |
 |
| I highly recommend the original broadcast order if you do. |
| It’s entertaining for sure, but i found haruhi getting a little too much later on bc she was basically starting to become a bully to mikuru, but other than that it’s a good time killer |
Violet42 said: I've seen some of it, and it's fine. It's basically impossible to appreciate it fully now, out of the context of its time, when it was a massive cultural phenomenon. Now nobody talks about it except occasionally to rag on Endless Eight or reminisce about the cringiest people you've ever known doing That Dance. The thing that turns me off about the show most is that Haruhi is an absolute sociopath with virtually no capacity for empathy. It always looks nice, though, really well directed with good music. Iirc that's something done b6 design and is supposed to keep you watching because it's addressed ( unless you DON'T watch to see characters interact and grow through their interactions, which is fair I suppose). |

BUT, but but but BUT!!! after you finish season 1 and 2, there is a movie. and that movie is a fucking masterpiece. |
