Review of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

This review will be for both seasons 1 and 2 for Haruhi. I will review disappearance separately. Haruhi was, for the most part, a fun experience, mainly because of it's dynamic cast of characters and their random adventures, and less because of its sci-fi elements. Endless Eight was interesting for the first 4 or so episodes, but after a while, I got tired of the same events happening for eight episodes straight. I would probably give enjoyment a 10 if not for Endless and some of the Koizumi sci-fi monologues. Not the biggest of those. The show is basically saved byHaruhi and Kyon and their individual personalities and as well as their dynamic. I never expected what would pop into Haruhi's mind next, and whatever last-minute adventure she would pull her friends into was always a blast to experience. All of these characters are pretty endearing, and it's a really cast.
The art is great, especially for how old this is. The production quality really seems ahead of its time.
Haruhi also has some really fun and energetic openings and endings that I never skipped. I am especially thankful for the second opening and ending because they basically carried me through Endless Eight. I know this review may seem too negative for the score I give, but I really did love watching this show, and for reasons that everybody loves it for.
