Can Haruhi's influence still be felt today?
Can Haruhi's influence still be felt today?
Matthew Kelly
Daniel Anderson
yeah she's still influencing my DICK
Ian Davis
No. Its isekai all the way down from here
Kevin Butler
I want her to feel me, today.
Liam Nguyen
No. The best thing that came out of that painfully mediocre anime is Lucky Star.
Aaron Bennett
Influence means nothing. The merit of the anime alone and the awards it receives means something.
Ethan Rivera
Not really. Right now Isekai is the big thing which Haruhi had no part in.
Gavin Collins
Who?
Jason Gray
Lucky Star came before Haruhi.
Aiden Johnson
What influence?
It's pretty iconic I'll give you that, but no one tried to copy haruri afterwards because it influenced no one
Leo Ross
how come isekai is so popular now? Is it because of sword art online?
Jace Watson
Yes
Bentley Lee
Would Kyoto Animation even be in business today if it wasn't for the success of Haruhi?
K-On was big too, but they needed to survive long enough to make that, right?
Daniel Green
I don't know how I never made that connection. I guess there's nothing good about Haruhi then.
Aiden Miller
Heroihi is best
Landon Rodriguez
let me influence her full body to confirm
Juan Bailey
Technically the first Haruhi novel was released a few months before the first Lucky Star chapter but the manga basically had no connection to Haruhi. Only the Lucky Star anime tried to milk some more Haruhi money because of the studio and VA connection.
Benjamin Lewis
Its only influence was showing publishers and production committees that LN adaptations can be an insane cashcow, which indirectly resulted in the landscape of endless shitty isekai LN adaptations we have today
William Roberts
The manga yeah, but the anime came out after Haruhi and it rode on the Aya Hirano hype train before someone put a bass on the tracks
Ryan Adams
>Nobody tried to copy Haruhi
>moeblobs everywhere
I blame Haruhi for all the otaku-bait we get
Isaiah Campbell
What about Shipuhi?
Joseph Jenkins
I want to feel her influence all over me
Kayden Martin
No, as with all faith. It was a tower of sand that blew over. Now the sands are built upon a wave of isekai. Who knows when the current trend will blow over?
Logan Moore
yes
Ayden Adams
I blame Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star for SoL moeshit shows, haruhi was another otakubait just like many shows that are not in the same genre
Tyler Garcia
the difference is that haruhi was a good show despite the otakubait
Hunter Stewart
ne ne kyon-kun
Dylan Cook
Haruchi is reverse Isekai
Adam Robinson
yeah, about that...
Grayson Jenkins
To be fair, Azumanga was a new and fresh thing when it first came out, all the shit that came after was trying to leach off it's success.
James Jenkins
Are you forgetting Lucky Star/Keyshit?
James Cooper
Lucky Star only got the initial attention it had because they casted Haruhi's VA as Konata.Also, Haruhi was Hirano's breakout role as a VA
