Quote:

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.

Oh man. Now THIS sounds like a show I could get behind.

**Squeek** · 04-30-2006, 08:36 PM

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 awesome. Can anyone tell me whether the sound on there second episode is distorted. Mine is, if it isnt on yours can you tell me to download from. Please?

Ive only seen the first two and im downloading the next two now. Thank God you guys said about the first episode or id be in the dark. I'll post somthing more opinionated when I have seen the next two hehehe. Thanks to Squeek for showing me this show.

**Squeek** · 05-2-2006, 06:43 PM

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.

SethSquall · 05-3-2006, 08:51 AM

Downloading 5 now. I love this show. Does anybody know how many episodes there will be?

I wanna be in the SOS Brigade

**Rebirth0** · 05-3-2006, 09:52 AM

Okay, you guys have my attention. I'll download the first five episodes tonight.

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

Any idea when episode 6 is out somebody?

Suzuru · 05-3-2006, 02:37 PM

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

Bursurk_Lurk · 05-4-2006, 01:06 PM

Episode 1 is the coolest thing ever. Every anime should start like that =)

SethSquall · 05-10-2006, 03:23 AM

This episode was weak. All it was was the same jokes we have seen before - Haruhi wants to find weird things and whines incessently when she does not. Mikuru is useless but has big bouncy boobs. Itsuki schemes behind his happy facade. Yuki reads things. And all of this with a significantly lower budget than earlier episodes, and without the brilliant directing that has been a key part of every scene in this series thus far.

Just about the only spark of life in this episode was Kyon's little sister. She is awesome, and should officially join the SOS-dan.

The files on bittorrent don't work for some reason =(
O_o
EDIT: Nevermind, I found another site. I'll watch them after I'm done with my homework.
EDIT2: I have to say that first episode was quite awesome. Time to download the rest of them =)

ckj846 · 05-16-2006, 05:46 PM

Episode 7 is out now.
O_o
