Review of The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya

(Contains slight spoilers) Before watching this movie, I've already completed the light novel which it was adapted from. So this review won't be so biased even if I've just finished this movie. Even if I already know what will happen, this movie is still great for me to watch, and certainly for those who haven't watched it. No doubt why it ranks so high. It would be wasteful to write a long paragraph about the plot, as numerous (and excellent) reviews had already done so. Basically it's witty and entertaining, with proper depth in some points. Comparing with those movies which do nothing but repeat theanime, Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu is a real surprise. Personally I think that this is the best thing so far written by Tanigawa Nagaru. Besides, the final scene is really great.
As for the art, Kyoiani the name itself tells everything. Still, as they just kept the style from the anime (which they started in 2006), I felt a little bit disappointed as it doesn't change much.
Both the Seiyuu performance and the music are great and shed new lights on the characters. Although the OP is the same with anime, the new ED is very intriguing and the lyric fits very well, as if Nagato Yuki is confessing her heart.
The character is also comprehensively discussed already so I won't say much. Still I don't think Haruhi is just an ordinary supporting role. In the changed world she actually pushed Kyon to investigate further. Without her, Kyon would just complain about their disappearance forever and do nothing. It's not just for the plot, but Haruhi's spirit as well. She is not just bossy and immature.
This movie is a rather loyal adaptation from the already outstanding plot, so the enjoyment is granted. I can still feel the tensity even if I've read the light novel. There are also some original scenes, which are also great, like the last scene. As some other reviewers had said, this movie could be the pinnacle of the whole Suzumiya Haruhi Series.
Overall, for those who haven't watched the movie, watch it and you can know yourself why it's excellent.
