Synopsis

Kyon, your typical high school student, has long given up his belief in the supernatural. However, upon meeting Haruhi Suzumiya, he quickly finds out that it is the supernatural that she is interested in; aliens, time travelers and espers among other things. When Haruhi laments about the lack of intriguing clubs around school, Kyon inspires Haruhi to form her own club. As a result, the SOS Brigade is formed, a club which specializes in all that is the supernatural. Much to his chagrin, Kyon, along with the silent bookworm, Yuki Nagato, the shy and timid Mikuru Asahina, and the perpetually smiling Itsuki Koizumi, are recruited as members. The story follows the crazy adventures that these four endure under their whimsical leader, Haruhi. The story is based on the light novels by Nagaru Tanigawa. Note: This entry is for the original 14-episode 2006 airing. The series was further expanded and reordered into a 28-episode series in 2009.

I want Haruhi to step on me

When analysing art, perhaps the most interesting aspect of it to me is in its ability to communicate and inspire people on a very raw, personal level. Art is certainly a very powerful thing and I’m sure everybody at some point in their lives has been touched by a piece of art before. Perhaps it was…

Would you like to hear about the word of Haruhiism?

The state of the online world isn't something I'm terribly fond of nowadays, but a little over a decade ago, the Internet was a captivating wonderland. A large part of my juvenile personality is owed to numbing my developing brain on Ray William Johnson's =3 series, Salad Fingers, asdf movies, YouTu…

KyoAni's mid-2000s adaptation of Nagaru Tanigawa's light novels was a pop-cultural phenomenon, and for good reason.

*"I'm Haruhi Suzumiya, from East Junior High. First off, I'm not interested in ordinary people. But, if any of you are aliens, time-travelers, or espers, please come see me. That is all!"* Has any anime character ever introduced themselves so simply and so effectively as Haruhi Suzumiya? Right off…

An amazing show with great character

__Disclaimer: This review will be for the entirety of the show, not just this first portion. However, there will be NO spoilers in this review.__ I'm going to try my best to keep this an unbiased review, but Haruhi as a show and as a character has helped me on a personal level so that's one reason…

It's a story about connecting with others and not about discovering aliens, time travelers or espers

# __This Review Will Feature Spoilers__ While I was watching _the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya_ I got struck by how much I got reminded by what Ethan Hawke said in an interview for _Before Sunset_ in how he was invited by director Richard Linklater to join the project. Below I linked the intervie…

A huge phenomenon at the time, but it perhaps hasn't aged very well.

Once upon a time on a certain bow-shaped archipelago, there was a young man who had become jaded and cynical towards the world around him. Known as Kyon to his friends, as well as his relatives and anyone else he ever meets, this young man once believed in the wildest things, from aliens and the sup…
