Review of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (2009)

The fanbase for this series is greater than the series itself. Don't get me wrong, this show is reasonably good and the characters are extremely likable. However, that does not justify for the crappy 8 episodes of the same thing. When you over-analyze anything, there's usually a reason behind it. The main reason for this show is that it wasn't very good. So you'd have to spew some bullshit to defend it. The fact that the "endless eight" is unique does not make it enjoyable. Rambling on about how each episode is different does not make the story deep. So out of the 14 episodes, there areactually only 6. Out of the 6 episodes, there's no real pacing, because it just branches off the original series.

There's no other way to put it. The 2009 version of Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuustsu mediocre to be kind.
