Review of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
STORY: The story was amazing, somehow it manages to be every genre at once and it's always interesting. The idea of a bi-polar girl who has the power to change the world subconsiouly but doesn't know it is both interesting and original. Both the Sci-Fi aspects of the show as well as the School Life scenes are both fun to watch. As well, the story is deep and well-developed without being too complicated. ART: With art by KyoAni, you know you can't go wrong. The characters were drawn great, as well as backgrounds and animation overall. SOUND: Aya Hirano is the perfect voice for Haruhi. As well, Crispin Freeman doingKyon in English only adds to the series. The background music is great, the songs are fun to listen to. The character songs are awesome as well.
CHARACTERS:
TMOHS features a wide variety of characters. Haruhi is energetic and stubborn, Mikuru is shy and anxious, Yuki has no emotions at all, Kyon is sarcastic, and Itsuki is the yes man. The characters are all so distant from each other, yet it works. They're all well developed and secretive, but they're all lovable and relatable in some way.
ENJOYMENT:
TMOHS is great from start to finish. At only 14 episodes this show managed to squeeze it's way as my favourite anime.
OVERALL:
10/10.
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is a masterpiece, Nagaru Tanigawa is a genius, and no one could've done it better than KyoAni.
