I was looking at my past anime reviews and noticed that they are nothing compared to the ones I do now. So I decided to redo all of my past anime reviews that I believe are not up to my current standards. Starting off with Melancholy of Haruhi.
It’s a series that started small and has now grown into almost a cult like phenomenon. Although it is a bit old, finished the television series last year, it has gathered a bunch of “Haruhist” cosplayers from all over Japan and here in the U.S. as well. The plot pretty much follows Haruhi Suzumiya, who is also “God” in a human form but does not know it who can destroy space and time if she feels agitated/bored/angry.
She meets the second leading character, Kyon, in high school who she becomes friends with after an interesting conversation about Haruhi’s hairstyle. Haruhi is an all around “jack of trades” and joined every club to see if it was interesting only to drop it and form her own, called “SOS Brigade”. Here she recruits Yuki Nagato, who is an alien, Mikuru Asahina who is a time traveler, and Itsuki Koizumi who is a psychic which all claim that it was Haruhi’s wish for them to exist and she does not know this, weird.
They go through all kinds of adventures together, including trips in “closed space” where they fight giant crickets and monsters, baseball games, “in-game” space wars, and more. There is even a concert in one of episodes which is one of the best anime concerts I have ever seen.
I recommend people to watch this as it has comedy, action, suspense, and a bit of love everywhere. Become one with the “Haruhist”.
Haruhi here, love the bunny outfit ;p, suits her more than other “bunnies” I know.
Here’s Kyon, which is actually his nickname and has never revealed his real name.
Mikuru in her maid outfit, the episode this was taken from is my favorite. One of Kyon’s friends, Taniguchi, said “futaaaaaaaaaaaaaah” when he saw Mikuru in this outfit which I think is the best line in the whole anime.
Itsuki the pretty boy, you always got to have a pretty boy for the ladies and men…I guess.
Yuki the quiet nerdy one, she is actually pretty cool as she can hack into any system and type probably 60 words a second, a second now not a minute, crazy aliens.
This is Mikuru’s friend, Tsuruya, who I think is the cutest with her hair that almost reaches the floor, cute look, fang, and her speech impediment which gives her the “moe” element ^-^. I like the outfit btw.
Check out the spit and sweat…lovely.
I thought this was one of the cutest moments in the anime, everyone is in a softball tournament and during practice Mikuru is trying to cover herself from being hit by balls and when one taps her she says “Itaidesu” in a high voice which was sooo cute and moe.
