Review of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (2009)

This anime gets hate for the infamous "Endless Eight", a series of episodes with little difference with each other, but are basically the same events over and over again. It's basically about an arc that could have been easily fit into two episodes but they made it eight. The clincher is: it has a bullshit and unsatisfying ending. But even without that. This season was still garbage. Maybe it'll bump my review to 2 instead of 1 if E8 wasn't there. But still. You know the exciting out-of-this-world fantasies in the first season? They're gone in the second. The anime devolved into a shitty comedy schoollife anime. (Note that I'm not insulting school life anime, it's just Haruhi that is shitty) Occasionally you'll see Haruhi's powers pop out and Nagato (the alien) using her abilities, but they're very diminished. And Asahina (the time traveler) and Koizumi (the esper), their incidences have vanished. No more time travel and closed spaces.

I don't know what the hell happened with the studio. They've released that garbage Endless Eight, and for the other episodes they've removed the aspects of fantasy which is what made the first season interesting and made the fans watch in the first place.
