It has been a while since I have read a Haruhi Novel because of the time it takes for the novels to be published in the US, but I notice around MAL in particular, no one seems to like the titular character, in spite of how many favorites she has, all I see are negative to displeasing comments or thoughts regarding the character, and generally all the praise here goes to Yuki Nagato, with some even questionably dubbing her as the unofficial deuteragonist.

So I'm curious on what you think of this?

Because you are obsessed with KyoAni to a pathological degree.

Stop being overly defensive towards your precious KyoAni treasures in every thread you make. No one is against it, they just vocally show their distaste towards things you like.

It actually isn't hated among the masses btw, that's just a vocal section of people.

Because it's shit.

Edit: On a serious note, Haruhi was obnoxious and bossy. Yuki was soulless, and the other girl was as memorable as a rock, same with the other guy. Kyon was decent. A little note is how bullshit the plot was "She's God, so we have to play baseball" was pretty much how an episode went, I shit you not.

If you see few people complain that doesnt mean it is more hated...... than liked....
I really like how people keep relying on appearences , it's like an invitation to deceive.
Btw I really hope you talk about the Yoruichi I know!

LoL , the characters dont get bothered by it and like her , Kyon just plays tsundere . In the movie you'll see how he really feels about her .
She's fun unlike many , MANY "ladies" that you like.

But than i read the comments above me and it was all surprise butt sex for me. Haruhi is fun guys. It is hard to explain. it does not focus on story but it is actually a very good quality in it's own way.

The people who hate an anime are more likely to post in threads like these. Haruhi is in the top 10 on MAL, if I recall correctly. 20 people who don't like an anime and complain about it aren't enough to show that it is disliked by a community of hundreds of thousands of people.

I like the anime to a certain point. What I strongly dislike is the main male lead. It's because he thinks, but doesn't speak his mind. I thought first he was going to change and actually speak his mind, but he didn't. I really dislike that. And for me, personally, it makes no sense to not tell Haruhi the truth and really convince her. I think it is illogical not to. And Haruhi was really annoying. I liked the story, but nothing more.

Because she's a bossy bitch, but that just shows she's a well-written character. If you find yourself feeling a strong dislike towards a character because of their personality, that's a sign of a good character; I don't really see any reason to bitch about it, not that I've seen much bitching during my time here. I've seen more of your crappy threads than people expressing their dislike for Haruhi.

Oh and if you've seen the movie, Yuki is definitely the deuteragonist.

Sadly desperate, I mean I cry myself to sleep every night.
No really though, I'd put serious money on you being a loser. :(
You would, huh.

Well, at least I have the self respect to realize that a bitchy girl is nothing but a bitchy girl, and not worth it. I'm not starved enough to blindly cast away my own dignity for the sake of some bitch that I might have a chance with. Not that you even have a chance with her to begin with. She's not real.

Sorry, but the female population isn't some magical divine species that graces me with their benevolent presence, that I should immediately stop all that I'm doing and attend to their every whim because "hurr she's hot".

If you think denying or disliking a girl because she's a horrible person is gay, you're a fucking virgin.

I think disliking shows because they focus on young girls but LOVING the shows about big manly men that grunt waaay too damn much is gay... like flamboyantly gay. Besides that, it's a cartoon; the way every Shana clone has ever acted would be despicable in the real world but it's a cartoon and it just adds to their cuteness. Can you not differentiate between fiction and reality? I think that's a sign of psychosis.

It's been a while since i watched haruhi and i'm not a big fan either but seriously don't compare her with kirino. No one can top kirino in bitchiness. Poor Taketatsu Ayana, i know its not her fault yet i can't stand her voice anymore. I heard people wanted to throw their laptop with anger while i haven't heard anything similar about haruhi.

Did you come across this hate in the Haruhi section of MAL or something because this is the first I've heard the MAL community leaning towards anti Haruhi-ism.

I don't feel people resent the character herself but more so what happened in S2. Besides, I don't see any legitimate reason to attack her character other then superficial nitpicking.

Hahahaha i honestly dont dislike her in the slightest. sure.....she can be immature and mean, but thats what initially defines her. shes the contrast to kyon. she speaks her mind and isnt afraid to say how she feels "except on matters regarding caring about that certain someone ;)" and is shortsighted about things rather than kyon: who is thoughtful, contemplative, and usually holds back. she does mature throughout the series however "we havnt seen further progression since the author's in his blasted writing slump" and thats the point. shes maturing. if she was a reasonable girl who was mature and "normal" that kyon liked and hit it off with without problems in the beginning....we wouldnt have a story: now would we? ;)

People like to hate what's popular, it makes them feel unique.

It's a stupid, teenage counter-culture thing; contrarian attention-seeking.

The fabric of reality will literally change in an instant to cater to her needs, she doesn't know what the meaning of no is. Not to say it's a valid excuse as Kyon has pointed out, but she's still entertaining at least. If you can't laugh when she dropkicks the shit out of the computer club guy I dunno what to tell you.

It's no wonder how many people dislike Haruhi, even though I don't, it became obvious why she's a love or hate kind of character, and I understand why.

Until I met everyone's favorite little sister: Kousaka Kirino. The most annoying and ungrateful bitch I've ever seen in anime. Compared to her, Haruhi is an angel.

OP, I wouldn't pay much attention to these rumours. After all, Haruhi has been favorited over 11k times as a character, and that's a pretty significant amount here in MAL despite the popularity that the Haruhi franchuse has.

I don't watch as much anime as before...

I love Haruhi. People who throw around derogatory terms about her are a little shallow. Or rather, approach the story with a shallow mindset.

Take me, for example. In college, I developed a bad reputation. This was my fault: I made some dumb decisions and failed to consider how those decisions would affect how people viewed me. I never meant to hurt anybody or betray anyone's feelings, but I did without knowing it. Common sense would have told me that would happen, but I was naive and really didn't even understand my own motivations.

Haruhi is similar. She doesn't REALLY want to hurt anyone, or even make them upset or sad. But she also desperately wants to be free from restrictive social norms that she views as "annoying," or whatever. Is she horrible to some people at first? You bet. But half of the show is all about how Kyon and Haruhi help each other grow (in two totally opposite ways). The other half of the show is about having wacky adventures.

So, basically, what would you rather have: a b-word that grows into a more balanced and kind individual while still maintaining her fun uniqueness? Or someone who is just perfect from the off and never grows?

Seeing Haruhi grow and change over the course of the story is one of my favorite aspects of the show (and movie and books). It's just a shame that some folks don't allow themselves to see the person she becomes.
