So I heard about this show, been reading reviews about this show, and then I finally watched it but.. it was rather boring, the jokes are kinda forced, so I deleted it right away.

How you guys saw this series anyway? I don't see it as the one "legendary" anime everyone is talking about.

Sorry if I offended anyone.

It's a love/hate thing, don't worry about it. I think it was great imo. It just matters on how you perceive the story and if you like the characters or not.

It is one of the most important anime series of the 2000s decade, and I pity those who fail to see it for what it is.

I tried watching years ago but yeah, it was boring. I couldn't get past 2 episodes. I will probably give it another go some time later.

Just because something is popular, it doesn't necessarily appeal to everyone. I liked it...

I don't see a point in making this sort of thread though? If you didn't like it, that's fine... but you don't have to make a thread about it - All you'll gain from it is hate from others who did like the show.

Thank you KyoAni, the epitome of shit. Man, they make Gonzo look genius.

It is an eccentric show with distinct direction choices that most studios would never attempt such as the disorganized episode order and the Endless 8.

It's up to you to decide how you enjoy the series. I personally find Haruhi's spontaneous entertaining but I wouldn't put it as "legendary". It has an impact on its industry but enjoyment of it is subjective.

I like both Haruhi and Clannad, and you just insulted them. And yet, your avatar is Harima from School Rumble and you said something nice about Gonzo (who did the HIGHLY underrated Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo) so I am going to assume that, despite our disagreement on this issue, you are a man of good taste with good reasons for liking or hating things.

:P

But actually I'm always into defending Haruhi as a strange and appealing mix of recognizable character tropes and wildly experimental storytelling. It's postmodernism made anime, for better or for worse. And I respect it a lot for what it tries to get.

On the other hand, the show has a lot of energy in its character dynamics. Kyon is a great lead and Haruhi is a charismatic bitch.

Endless 8 was a really strange idea, and just for that I think Haruhi deserves some credit ^^

I didn't like Endless 8, and I gave it a lower rating because of that... but I do "respect" it for trying :P

I thought that the series was good imo (with the exception being the endliess 8).

Dont worry about it if you dont like a series. Its all about personal taste

I'm not really interested in the franchise and I'd only like to know if Haruhi did ever find out about her powers and was able to use them to her will (be it in the Manga, Anime or LNs)?
