It's decent.
It does foreshadowing to Disappearance pretty well in the TV show.
Elijah Robinson
The whole endless eight thing was questionable but really paid off with the movie. Probably wasn't so bad for me as I binged it.
Leo Reyes
S3 never ever :,^(
David Richardson
Yea as sad as it is at least we got some sort of emotional conclusion in the movie.
Sebastian Robinson
Lets hope we get college years OVAs

I am enjoying this show so far bros.
however.
I'm not looking forward to the sequel series with Nagato Yuki-chan. She is by far the worst character and I wish the show would continue to focus on Haruhi and Kyon
Tyler Cox
Matthew Wood
How far you in? Weirdly enough Yuki became one of my favourite characters. To be honest though I'd pick anyone over mikuru. Man that girl drives me mad.
Luis Sanders
Nolan Barnes
There is nothing too romantic with Nagato. You'll enjoy it.
Jayden Watson
Yuki is the third most developed character though there is a big power gap between Kyon/Haruhi and the rest. Avoid Yuki-chan though, it's a mediocre spin-off with no charm and pretty off character
Jaxson Morgan
Zachary Morales
First season is best, though admittely it has some lows that are kinda annoying on a rewatch.
Jeremiah Kelly
Who makes these. I would love an official version of this. With Kyon having to manage a Haruhi that even tho is trying to live a normal life, is still causing shennanigans sometimes
Anthony Martinez
Can we all agree that Asahina just plain sucks? Apart from making the viewer and Kyon mad at Haruhi she's pretty much useless.
Chase Lopez
I love this show. I get such a strong wave of nostalgia when I rewatch it annually. It's like a drug to me.

> is still causing shennanigans sometimes
By this point, Haruhi probably calmed down a lot. And no longer sees herself as center of universe.
Kevin Torres
I mean the movie making episodes have some great moments. The episode where Kyon basically goes to hit Haruhi has some great tension.
Alexander James
that's S2 though
Aaron Brooks
Yea I was replying to that guy who said season one was great by pointing out some stuff I loved from season 2.

Kyon and human Nagato never.

Endless Eight really didn't age that well.
Adam Adams
Quads of truth. College sequel confirmed.
Isaiah Foster
In what way? Seems like more people enjoy it now rather than when it first came out.
Angel Johnson
So I heard you liked Haruhi references
David Jackson
Jeremiah Edwards
Not the biggest fan of that arc, feels like a sequel to Melancholy rather than something from near the end of the show (and that's exactly what it was when the book was released).
Nathaniel Wilson
She gets more development in the novels. Also Adult Mikuru is still pretty good in the anime, and they are the same person. Even so I wouldn't call her useless in the anime since her time travel ability is pretty important, being used in two of the most important parts of the anime, bamboo leaf and kyon saving himself in the movie. Though I guess the latter isn't really shown
Matthew Walker
Ryder Walker
Lucky Star was a blessing.
It's easy to enjoy it now because it's apart of our history. If Haruhi wasn't nearly as popular as it was, I bet people would still be hating on it.
Brody Gutierrez
S1 is awfully underrated
Ryder Cooper
it really is. S1 has some absolutely iconic episodes.
Camden Rodriguez
It was actually pretty fun to be there as it all happened
Ryder Clark
Future Mikuru is based, LN Mikuru has alright development, anime Mikuru is eeh.

Dominic Bailey
nagato yuki-chan is a shite spin off. you don't have to watch it.
Joshua Young
One thing I never understood. Was the spinoff supposed to be the new universe with no haruhi bullshit and original Kyon getting memory wiped after that point in the movie, or just a complete alternate version of the story with no haruhi bullshit ever occuring.
Alexander Lee
It was basically Yuki being the MC instead of Haruhi.
Jason Hernandez
I guess my view on it is maybe different as I was able to watch it all in a row?
Henry Reyes
Parker Martinez
I finished the show and movie back in February. I was pretty impressed that it was made in and liked it a lot. I liked Mikuru out of all the girls, though. Especially the Future version. Sucks Kyon will never hit it, or else Haruhi would destroy the world out of pure jealousy.
Asher Allen
Ryder Reed
Kayden Wright
I mean she's important plot wise but I find her character pretty bland. I will say that one line in Sigh where Koizuma says she's basically acting in order to gain Koyne affections made me re-evaluate her character. I still don't really like her young version but it's more tolerable if I think its an act.
David Moore
>Yuki being the MC instead of Haruhi.
You mean instead of Kyon.
Parker Phillips
Agreed. Knowing it's a front puts in a different perspective, but not to the point where it makes her any more interesting or endearing if you just rewatch the show.
Oliver Lopez
Ian Wright
I mean I personally really liked it because these days when studios are churning out cookie cutter anime in droves it was nice to see a studio take a massive risk. To create essentially the same episode eight times and not save any money while doing it flies in the fave of what a lot of studies are doing today. If anything its gotten better with age.
Ayden Gutierrez
Christian Barnes
Mason Clark
Before my time unfortunately.
Parker Ward
I think the weakest part of the show is the secondary characters, compared to something like Hyouka for example where all 4 characters are pretty good.
Gabriel Bell
Austin Robinson
Levi Davis

Hudson Hernandez
I might just need to rewatch it then. I personally only remember EE for the amount of glorious Haruhi swimsuits.
Mason Cox
Easton Gutierrez
Angel Ortiz
It's really not the slog it's memed to be. And even if it is essentially the same episode each time, they did enough visually to show the different perspective and cues to subtly build the relationships if only slightly.
Jaxson Rivera
Leo King
I mean it was a tough watch but once I learned yuki was the only one who remembered everything it put a new spin on it. I pretty much ignored everyone apart from her in every scene to see if she was acting any different.
Logan Stewart
James Richardson
Leo Gray
Luke Bennett
I still think the one where it's 90% from Kyon's perspective is the best.
Joshua Russell
I agree. Character development in the show is severely lacking. And when it is there its sparse and subtle. I'd almost call it character reveals more so as if you think as the secondary characters as constantly "playing there parts" its interesting when you see some of their true natures come out.

>tfw you'll never see the ending when Kyon tells Nagato to tell the hivemind to fuck off for the first time again
So good.

The level of devotion of the Japanese fanbase was just incredible at the time
Like this piece of random fanart. It's not just some picture - you know exactly where it came from in the series, and it gives you feelings and perspective Kyon's point of view

David Cox
A best
Camden Rogers
Yura and Naruzaki are adorable. You really notice them on a rewatch.
Austin Baker
It's real but it's also an act. Asahina-big is directing
Asahina-small from behind the scenes because she knows she would be perfectly helpless.
For added fun: she may have only become a manipulative masochist to cope with stuff that happened to her smaller form.
She's in a never ending loop of her own exploitation.
Thomas Powell
That's kinda fucked up. This show is pretty good for digging into even after the fact.
Caleb Watson
It's really clever to have some of the weirder themes off to the side, while Kyon stays relatively self-centered.
You start questioning causality and motivations all over again.
William Cox
Doesn't the show hint at the fact that Asahina's helplessness is intentional, so she can keep the attention of Kyon and Haruhi? Or is the older Asahina putting her up to it?
Juan Thompson
The older Asahina decided that her younger self was the perfect patsy.
Now whether that's a shrewd tactical ploy, or she's simply fetishizing her own abuse, is anyone's guess. Probably it's both.
Liam Richardson
She's just doing what needs to be done for the timeline to keep the way it is
Alexander Foster
Its pretty smart because if you were to dig too much into the sci fi stuff the whole thing would no doubt fall apart due to plotholes and such. Better to leave it a mystery while only hinting at that stuff when necessary.
Logan Watson
And most importantly Haruhi is a coming of age story more than a scifi one.
Adrian Walker
It's also a metanarrative about fiction.
Haruhi's ideal world just happens to be the kind that could sell really well as a light novel, by invoking all those insane tropes.
The 'Goddess' is a stand in for the nature of the anime market.
Evan Murphy
Not really, that stuff is never touched.

Is Sonichu canon in Haruhiverse?

I guess that's more implied than anything. Its something you'd only really get if your a fan of the medium which most people who watch anime tend to be.
Daniel Allen
Hunter Harris
CUTE!
Christopher Taylor
LEWD!
Anthony Watson
Parodying your own genre is best done with great care.
Michael Kelly
Its tends to work providing the execution is good. Its why one punch man is so beloved. I'm very interested to see how season 2 manages.
Evan Moore
There will NEVER be anything as good as Haruhi ever again.
Ayden Lee
So I need to watch Season 1 -> Season 2 -> Movie
and watch them in the order they originally aired in?
Jayden Carter
I watched it in chronological order and I kind of regret it I guess because I liked the mystery aspect of monogatari. Its still good but they are right about the pacing being kinda off.
Owen Myers
don't remind me
Jason Wilson
Watch it in Broadcast order
Easton Johnson
Watch Season 1 in the 2006 airing order, it's really worth it. After that wait some weeks and watch everything (S1+S2+Movie) in chronological for everything to make sense.
Justin Edwards
Or alternatively if you don't want to rewatch the whole S1 do: S1 Broadcast -> S2 -> Rewatch Live alive and Someday in the Rain -> Movie
Julian Allen
It's a fantasy coming-of-age/romance, probably the best of its kind in anime.
Andrew King
Yes, although let's be fair, the best parts of the romance are the ones that happen in the LN after the anime, starting from Intrigues specifically
Evan Bailey
I just finished the movie. Should I check out the light novels?
Anthony Barnes
They're pretty great, although some of them are slower. Start with Snowy Mountain Syndrome from the 5th LN.
Julian Stewart
No idea there, though I was quite satisfied with the development of the show, the romance is way more platonic (while still realistic somehow) than most romance anime out there, you can easily take for granted more explicit stuff after that.
Landon Garcia
Yeah. Just like most of Haruhi stuff, it's pretty subtle and a big part of it is conveyed through subtext. Live Alive is a good example of this.
