Review of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (2009)
The second season of Haruhi Suzumiya. What a total crap it was compared to season 1. I really wonder what were the creators thinking. Story- 4 Once again SOS brigade goes on random adventures. There wasn't anything about how Suzumiya had such powers or anything else. Really this season was almost a filler if there wouldn't be said that Haruhi maybe isn't a GOD, but maybe she is someone who has been given godlike power by someone else. Also the world wasn't created by Suzumiya. Those 2 things were the only things that moved the story forward from total randomness. And I already had one ofthem figured out before the anime understood it itself. Endless 8 arc was the most boring 8th episodes that I have ever seen in any anime and I highly doubt that I will be more bored, because there is no chance I will be seeing something so unimaginative and stupid ever. Just one tip you are watching the endless eight arc then skip after episode 4 and go to episode 8th.
Art- 7
It was beautiful, colorful and the background looked real well most of the time. Somehow Suzumiya seemed to been drawn lot more lazier and and looked weird. Also Asahin seemed to have really big eyes, even so big that it really seemed out of proportion.
Sound - 7
Best thing in this anime. The opening was very good, but for some reason it became a bit more and more boring the more you listen it. Also in the endless eights arc I seriously grew tired that everyone was saying the same lines every episode.
Character - 3
For some reason almost alll of the characters seemed to have gotten a brain disease that made there annoying traits even more annoying. For example Asahina became so much crybaby annoying that I wanted to just delete her. Haruhi wasn't that bad , but I still liked her in the 1st season better. I got a better understanding of how Suzumiyas brains work, but I have to say as a character she started to annoy me, because she did everything so wrong and never did she do anything even close to logic or realism. Itsuki was much more sneaky and his theorys about Haruhi made less sense then ever. Kyon and Nagato were the only ones that didn't seem to become any different, only Kyon in the Endless arc seemed really stupid, because he needed so many times to understand what to do.
Enjoyment - 2
60% of this anime was the most boring thing I have ever seen, 30% was below average and only 10% was good. Basically I watched this anime, because of my will to see it through not because it was good . Also once your through the endless 8 arc it will only get better.
Overall - 5
Don't watch it! Just don't! Even if you have to watch some anime then pick out some random anime, there is 90% chance it will be better then this one.
