[Anime] The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

Interestingly, I found the ending credits hilarious to watch, so that's what caught me at first. The bunny suit takes the cake. ~kawaii desu~.

How ya doing, buddy?

Hot bunny girl? Check. I hope they make more low budget films, THE HILARITY!

Also (props to Bigblah for this one):

NEEDS MORE AWESOME MAGIC-SUPER POWER TRICKS!



There's nowhere I can't reach.

Okay, that's OFFICIALLY the best episode of animated baseball EVER.

the bat:

Homing Bat and funky ball for the win! It was hilarious seeing all of them hit homeruns.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

See what you think from episode 2 onwards. That's where the fun begins, although episode 1 was hilarious in its own right.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

That's what I found hilarious as Kyon stated in the episode preview of what! No ending???! I just LOL'd right there and then. I guess we'll have to wait, which is nice since it just makes you want to get it over with sooner, rather than if they were to show the conclusion next episode.

I was speaking idiomatically.

The dude almost falls over, hilarious.



Also, the homemade "sci-fi" movie depicted in the first episode is likely one of Suzumiya-san's crazy ideas of not finding any mysteries to solve, so why not make one up? Even better yet, why not make a movie about it! SOS BRIDAGE TO THE RESCUE!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

manor MYSTERY:

It's supposedly concluded in episode 8, as seen in the chapter preview at the end of 7

FELIPE NO

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Somehow with the conclusion of episode 8...

Spoiler:

I wasn't quite expecting that, but seeing as how this show is generally exhibiting a light tone of humor and such, I found this murder incident too... suspicious. I really did believe our friend Keiichi bit the dust during the whole time, and all the red herrings did point to the right direction, but still, in the world of Haruhi Suzumiya, something just didn't sit right that I couldn't put my finger on yet. I was guessing that Keiichi was injured sometime prior to 1 AM, but was suffering from internal bleeding and was unconcious for the time being until morning.

Perhaps the notebook didn't allow the knife to puncture fully therefore the injury wasn't instantly life threatening until much later. Also, I didn't accept that the door hitting Keiichi as a possible conclusion, since no matter how strong a door may be, the three of them: Kyon, Koizumi, and Arakawa would have either heard a corresponding thud or felt at least some resistence when the door hit Keiichi. But yes, a very good episode.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It was already noted here. But it's hilarious, despite me never playing a Phoenix Wright game. ;__;

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Keep with it Dark Nation. I thought the first episode was more less of a parody of various anime conventions and "mystical-magical-action" type anime. But you'll understand somewhat (hopefully) of their reasoning for doing such a bizzare home made movie.

It's up to episode 9 now. Also, try not to be confused with what Suzumiya says about the next episode. She says it in the order of the story, but Kyon says it in the order of the broadcast, I think. You'll understand when you see episode two and beyond.

How ya doing, buddy?

Also, Dark Nation, you don't believe that Mikuru's LAZER BEAM EYE THING was the real deal, did you? <3 Mikuru beam.



Sup Bigblah

Quote:

some viewers might not know that the first episode was not a movie and would avoid watching the rest of it as a result. I knew the whole anime was not about this movie, so I got through it fine.

Then they must be very slow. I mean, with Kyon's commentating and all...

Also, I found much of episode 9 very bland.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Anyways, I just finished up watching the last episode, after going on a gaming spree/anime-fasting for about a week. Very bizzare ending, yet enjoyable at the same time. It wasn't really how I expected it to end, but giving the "Snow White"/"Sleeping Beauty" was already a giant clue smack dab right there.

Also, Haruhi's spotting for the ENOZ lead singer in Episode 12 was HOLY FUCK!


Yup, that pretty much summed up my intial reaction right there

At first, my impression was the same as the audience, what the fuck is she doing? Omg, someone get her off stage right now. But I have to say that was some pretty amazing stuff, I'm watching this right now. Must....get....OST....
