Review of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Before I get started I just want to say, I'm so sorry if this seems like a long review xD :It may also contain spoilers but I tried my best to keep them out: First off, Wow, just wow, this anime was one hell of a ride. This anime really did contain so many genres, bounding into one, which created it into an amazing enjoyable anime to watch. But of course it does have its flaws like every anime out there. One of the main things that impressed me about this anime was that, it was always ready to keep going and make the person watchingit, enjoy and want to keep on watching it and wanting more of it. Which in my opinion led onto the movie. In this anime you get to see, action, comedy, romance, slice of life and even sci fi in some ways. The art style is very good, but could be a little better in some scenes. The characters have their own personality's of course, from, moe to kuudere, to laid back characters and even god herself. These characters really make you want to know more about them and the anime did well on you showing you more of what type of characters they are.
The story of this anime was very exiting, there is the main male protagonist, Kyon. Which isn't actually his real name, nobody knows what it is. And I guess you could say he gets dragged into a girls other type of world. A world where she gets what she wants, and anything can happen. And that girl would be the other main character Haruhi. And she also brings other people into this world that she had created of her own. All the characters are taken on this "haruhi" adventure that is full of craziness and it just makes you fell like you're on that crazy adventure too.
The characters are like I said, the type that make you want to know more about them. First off you have Kyon who is a laid back type of character who just goes about his everyday life until one day, hes taken away from that and instead had developed a much for fun exiting life thanks to Haruhi. And Haruhi, is the one who makes it all happen. She seems to think that there is no fun in life at all, so Kyon gave her the idea to make the thing that she had been looking for which was a club. The SOS Brigade. Since she has this god like power to have whatever she wants and, pretty much control the world. She can never know that she has that type of power because she is kind of crazy and would do something very dramatic. For example going far as blowing up the world. Haruhi wanted to have an alien, a time traveler and an espier in her club, which leads us up to the kuudere like character, Yuki. Yuki is the alien of the group who had been sent down to earth. She is silent character who we don't really see much of apart from the rare fight scenes that appear. Yuki is definitely a character who you want to know more about, fortunately you see a lot more of her in the movie. Yuki also had to put up with a lot of crazy things Haruhi did, she also had to repeat an extremely long period of time just because Haruhi felt that summer vacation just wasn't enough fun. Mikuru is your typical moe character who is the time traveler. She had been forced into the club by Haruhi, but it is still Mikurus duty and the other characters duty to keep Haruhi from going out of control she also has to put up with some embarrassing things that Haruhi makes her do. Lastly we have Koizumi. I would call him the cool type of character who sort of bonds things together you can also see him as rather two faced but non the less he is still a very important character.
Overall, I The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya will always be one of my all time favourites for its amazing story line and its on going entertainment. It is definitely something any otaku or anime lover would love :)
