The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya: The Anime That Changed Anime 

The absolute HYPE of Hare Hare Yukai is a high that will never again be achieved. My first con I went to, I was dressed as Roxas and a Yuki and Mikuru cosplayer asked if I could be their 3rd, and the video is still floating in the youtube void. I wasn't even dressed as a character from the show. You could just ASSUME someone at a con in 2007 would know it, and you'd likely be correct.

I only came across this series because the Figma line started with Haruhi's figures, which goes to show how massive the series was.

The first time I watched the Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, it didn't really do anything for me. I thought it felt messy and unresolved. But then I watched it again a couple of years later and dang... I don't know what I was smoking the first time. It was fantastic. You're absolutely correct about it being worth the Endless Eight. Something clicked for me in the middle of the film when it asked the Hard Questions about feeling conflicted with getting something you want, but not making the decision to get it yourself. I eat that kind of garbage up, and the movie had a lot of really great moments like that. I know you said you didn't have much to say about the Nagato spin off, but did you at least like it? Part of me feels like I may have enjoyed it more than the regular series haha. Great video, btw!

As a light novel reader- there is MORE than enough light novel material for at least another season and another movie. If not a little more than that. The novels are incredible and I'd highly recommend them- and while you can't really beat the disappearance film in my eyes, there are things later in the novel that I think I enjoyed more than the disappearance arc. Which is really saying something!

I did not get into The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya until I was like in college around 2013-2014. I remember seeing a youtube video thumbnail back around 2007-ish, maybe, with the Anime's title, but never clicked it. Though, the title stayed in my mind since. I didn't have a legitimate way to watch it, so, internet, but I think it was in the broadcast order, which didn't bother me. I just thought it was weird. It was the first anime I can recall that I found on my own, like, no one reccomended it or referenced it, so that feels sorta special to me, and it quickly became my favorite anime. I also watch all of Endless Eight each time I watch it because I'm insane. '3' This comment is too long, but, I love it, so yeah. ^-^,

I saw it chronologically I couldn’t imagine watching love live as the last episode of season 1 rather than the second to last episode in season 2

It's my second favourite anime of all time behind Madoka Magica. It's the most fun I've ever had with anything ever.

great video, absolutly love this series

It's been three years since you uploaded your video so I hope you don't mind a late addition to the comment section. With regard to the 'Live Alive' school festival episode, if you've seen Nobuhiro Yamashita's 2005 film 'Linda, Linda, Linda' then you'll notice that it's heavily referenced in 'Live Alive.' It's a nice touch by KyoAni and stylishly understated. The clues are there in plain sight.

You HAVE to read the manga at least, it gets EVEN better than Disappearance dare i say.

Im a haruhi stan so you definitely earned a new sub.. Going to watch the Toradora review when i get off of work.. Although i disagree and think her vulgarness and narcissistic tendencies is a good thing

The anime is good, but the manga is GOATED.. Love Haruhi, shes a lovable faux narcissist

This is sick

Can you please review Squirrel Boy

Haruhi is strong but Lucy is the strongest

I don't like this anime because Haruhi is a gender swapped character. She doesn't act girly or womanly. She acts like an under socialized boy but she is able to get away with bad behavior because she is a girl.
