Review of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (2009)

I actually watched The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya(2009) (but never felt compelled to write a review until now) a long time ago and I've seen a lot of negative thoughts about it. I do agree that this anime wasn't all that good but at the same time I don't think it deserves a 1 that a lot of people give it. Lets start off with some pros the artwork and animation was very good, the sound was awesome with one of the best openings I've ever heard and the characters are as lovable as ever. Because these departments in the anime do sowell I cannot see why anyone could rate this a 1.

Now time for the dreaded endless eight arc. I agree with most people on this one, this arc just plain sucked (although I do the like the idea). Although there were some minor changes through-out each episode in the endless eight they were too minor to change the fact that it is basically the same thing over and over again. Believe me watching the same thing over and over again is not fun.

Now the content in the remaining episodes that were not in endless eight was actually quite good and although one bad arc does not make the whole anime bad I cannot simply overlook it. Considering this is a 14 episode series the majority of the series was endless eight

In conclusion although endless eight was something I would want to forget and it took up most of the series, this anime also had some good stuff too and that' why I give The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (2009) and 5/10
