Review of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

In 2006, when I became anime fan, the hungarian trends were Kaleido Star, Iuyasha, Slayers, Cowboy Bebop, Full Metal Panic! and some more. Every of them are great animes, they made me big fans of anime. But naturally the latest japanese animations were also available, despite the internet was much weaker back then. And in AnimeCons many anime fans talked about Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu, how awesome anime is that. Back then, I didn't pay much attention to it, and later I also avoided the anime, because Hirano Aya is the most hateful japanese seiyuu for me. I really hate her voice, even when she sang,and I always felt bad feelings, when I looked at her album or single covers. Even if I'm repulsive, I was delighted, when Hirano Aya's scandals were revealed. After it, she was employed much less, and I fel,t she won't disturb the anime industry anymore. But I watched the Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu, and it was one of the worst animes, which I have ever seen.

The most important part of the anime for me is the character. If the characters' attitude is bad or can't "play" the story properly, it's like red card for me, vainly the story is good. Suzumiya Haruhi is the most arrogant and disgusting anime character, whom I've ever seen. She hates the humanity, and she wishes like espers, aliens, and such strange creatures would exist in the world. Ok, let's consider this as big problem for her and this is her "Yuuutsu", but why I find the anime really appalling is she thinks her attitude is correct, and her thinking should be general for everyone. And the complete anime is based on her thinking and her "own world". She creates her own club, named SOS Brigade, which is about supernatural happenings.

Suzumiya Haruhi is not only arrogant person, but she forces every other club members to do, whatever she wants. She never give chance to others to refuse, or even tell their opinion, because she LITERALLY thinks, everything, what she do, that's perfect. It makes her ridiculous, especially, when she has the plan to create a short movie. She's really serious in that video will be awesome, and the whole world will like it.
The interesting of the anime is, Suzumiya Haruhi doesn't know that she created the club with aliens, espers... But they are also dreadful to me. Despite of Asahina Mikuru is time traveller, she's a pure fan service. She's always like a batboy, who would do anything for Suzumiya Haruhi. She's like, she doesn't have own will. Sometimes she acts, like "oh, I don't want it, please, no!" But yet she does, even if she's harrassed. This is why she's pleasant for the male viewers, because she's like a hentai character. The artificial human: Nagato Yuki might be interesting character, and I thought, she might be something special, because she mostly do nothing, but read books. So, she's mysterious, but her true character or intentions will be revealed later. She really has her own secret, but she neighter saves the anime, because her personality and past doesn't give much special to the story. Suzumiya's classmate Kyon is a "regular" human. He looks like she tries to understand Suzumiya, and seems like, he would be even friend of her, but even if he finds sometimes Suzumiya's thoughts awful, mostly he doesn't say anything, just do what Suzumiya Haruhi wishes. The only cool guy is Koizumi Itsuki, who is actually an esper. In his opinion, anything, which Suzumiya Haruhi do, that's funny, and he's in every jokes. He's the only one, whom I can like.

I know, this kind of "human-aversion" makes this anime popular. Many anime fans feel like, the are too unique for this world, and they feel like, they are exiled. I know that feeling, I also felt like exiled of this world, because of my unique personality. But I always did my best to find that balance in this life, to deal with people, but to keep my own personality. It's really hard, and I prefer those animes, which show an example how to find my own way in this world. Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu is the total opposite of it: It shows, it's totally normal to apply our ideas, no matter how harmful to others, even ridiculous. Because of it, I will never accept the popularity of this anime!
