Review of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

NOTE: THIS MIGHT NOT BE VERY GOOD, BUT IT'S MY FIRST REVIEW. Haruhi Suzumiya. A name quite familiar in anime. We have manga, some of which is being translated, two seasons with English dubs, a movie that will soon be translated, and ONAs. Basically, Haruhi wants to meet people out of the ordinary and 'hang out' with them. More like abuse them. Have you seen the misery Mikuru's gone through? Anyway, a great anime with a pretty good second season. The main way, in my opinion, this show got its fame is the creativity of the plot. It's just fantastic. And Haruhi...well...let's just sayKyon would rather have Mikuru. Haruhi Suzumiya is a bizarre type, enjoying the subnatural. The series basically flows with Kyon and his friends doing some stuff that'll keep Haruhi interested with life. What happens when she loses interest? You'll have to watch it to find that out. So the story I would give a ten. The art was your average anime art, nothing out of the ordinary. But that's what makes it likeable. Art gets a seven. Sound...in my opinion, the voicing needed a bit of work and the sound effects weren't too much. The main thing I hated was Kyon's Japanese voice, which made it sound like he was interested in all this stuff. Kyon's a pretty lazy and emotionless guy, and the English voice at least took this into account. I'm giving this a 7. Character gets a 10 for reasons I already explained. Overall score is an eight.
