Review of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (2009)

Haruhi Suzumiya is my favorite anime franchise. It has been the most impactful, story to me mainly because I have grown up with that school scenery, smooth romance and adventurous stories and these features of Haruhi Suzumiya resonates with me. Many people hate things like the "lack" of character development in the series, but in reality it is really subtle and has effects on the actions of the characters, like how the longest arc of this series is a buildup to the movie in which the feelings of some characters explode for example, Also how Haruhi wants to impress Kyon and uses a ponytail becauseof him.
The Story can be really boring to some, mainly because of the repetitive and longest arc of the series and also due to the "episodic" nature of the light novels. But its really good overall and the conflicts between Kyon and the various situations hes put in is one the things that pushes the series forward, in my opinion, the repetitive arc is genius as it serves to portray the tediousness and suffering of characters and the minor changes in details makes it feel like you are understanding their feelings a little bit better.

The music is good, unlike other animes I do remember that it was actually good so it is really fitting to various situations I feel like. And when there is nothing playing it doesn´t feel awkward.
Characters are the best thing about this anime, Kyon along with Haruhi and the glasses girl are to some extent main characters and they are genuine. Haruhi never feels like she knows more than what she does and is very open making her either loved or hated by those who watch this series, and Kyon is the undisputed best mc of all time(im exaggerating but hes one of the best)
I enjoyed it, as I said its been the most impactful series for me to this date, but it is quite polarizing in some aspects and it has some episodic nature, but since it is about the adventures of the SOS brigade it doesn´t affect the story much.
