    The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya



    An effortlessly practical and down-to-earth guy on the surface, Kyon used to be fascinated by ghosts and demons and ESPers, until he found himself in high school and shelved those fantasies for stark reality. On the first day of class, he meets Haruhi Suzumiya, a beautiful and intelligent – but extremely eccentric – girl who proclaims on the first day that she isn’t interested in “normal humans”, and unless you’re a ghost, an alien, or a psychic, she doesn’t want to talk to you. Kyon finds himself strangely drawn to the girl, and winds up being instrumental in the forming of her new club (created after Suzumiya joined all the other clubs for precisely one day and abandoning them just as quickly). Their goal? Well, Kyon doesn’t know yet, but with Haruhi in charge, anything goes.
    Fabulous show. Already being called THE show of this season and has over 75% "Masterpiece" votes on ANN after only 4 episodes. Also note that episode 1 is not as it seems, so stick it out all the way through.

    Umm ok, this already sounds like the opening of another anime where an alien lives on Earth with her boyfriend and she's extremely cheap with money. I forgot the name of it. O_o

    Anyways, is any of this available to see or will I have to Torrent/P2P this?

      Three guesses.

      I'll give you a hint.

      Yes.

          PS, I'll go ahead and discuss episode 4.

            The ammount of hype this show has recieved is absolutely absurd. It is enjoyable, but it isn't even in my top three shows of this season, let alone among the best shows of all time.

            Still some good stuff though. I'd probably enjoy it a lot more if bitchy Haruhi wasn't in it, as I absolutely hate her when she is like that. Crazy Haruhi is a lot of fun though.

            Anyway, as of episode 4, Itsuki and Yuki completely own this show. Its kind of odd, since I expected to like Mikuru far more than any of the other characters. Unfortunately though, she has proven herself to be far too useless at everything for me to enjoy her character much >_<

                THIS SHOW IS ABSOLUTELY MINDBOGGLING AND INCREDIBLY AWESOME AT THE SAME TIME.

                So episode 5 came out. They decided to make that episode 3 since 1 and 4 were not part of the chronology.

                Intense.

                  Man, I can't get over how amazing the directing in this show is. I just wish it was effort applied towards a story I liked better.

                  Oh well, this show is still awesome, even if Haruhi continues to piss me off.

                          Thanks. Episode 5 is really strange. Really funny though. Hell there all funny.

                            EP 3 was my favorite, if you watch it. I am sure you know what I am talking about.
