Synopsis

If a survey were conducted to see if people believed in aliens, time travelers, or maybe espers, most would say they do not; average high school student Kyon considers himself among the non-believers. However, on his first day of school, he meets a girl who soon turns his world upside down.

During class introductions, the beautiful Haruhi Suzumiya boldly announces her boredom with "normal" people and her intention of meeting supernatural beings. Dumbfounded, Kyon learns of her frustration with the lack of paranormal-focused clubs at their school and unwittingly inspires her to start her own club. She creates the Spreading Fun all Over the World with Haruhi Suzumiya Brigade, otherwise known as the SOS Brigade.

Following the SOS Brigade's founding, Haruhi manages to recruit Kyon and three other members: quiet bookworm Yuki Nagato, shy upperclassman Mikuru Asahina, and perpetually positive Itsuki Koizumi. Despite their normal appearance, the new members of the SOS Brigade each carry their own secrets related to Haruhi. Caught up in the mystery surrounding the eccentric club leader, Kyon is whisked away on a series of misadventures by Haruhi and the SOS Brigade, each one bringing him closer to the truth about who and what she is.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya should be watched in a chronological order. The broadcast order deviates from a linear timeline, which can cause confusion. It is an exciting story, full of unpredictable twists and turns. One of the most intriguing aspects in this story is a developing relationship between two main characters, Haruhi and Kyon. The characters are unique and well-defined, and each has a compelling personal story that adds brilliance to the plot. It is the character of Haruhi who makes her different from others because she has unnatural sense of right and wrong. She constantly seeks amusement and craves for adventures, which often ...

This covers the two series, and I suppose the franchise in general (I just watched the two series)

The title of this review should be:
THIS IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. The anime.

This is a really weird anime, but the weirdest thing about it isn't what happens in the plot itself (which don't get me wrong, it is weird), but the relationship with it's audience. Why? Because it's only enjoyable if, and only if, you're the target audience. What is the target audience? Teenagers that are weirdos/who doesn't fit really well in... well, school.

Let me elaborate on this. This anime is somewhat reassuring for people ...

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is a 2006 anime adapted from a 2003 light novel series written by Nagaru Tanigawa.

No, that's not it either.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is one of the most popular anime of all time and a sheer cultural sensation from the mid-to-late 2000s.
