Preliminary Spoiler

Preliminary (5/105 chp)
I have said numerous times that Haruhi is the greatest anime/light novel series ever, so I decided to read the manga. Going in, I expected copious amounts of Adaptation Decay and I was most certainly right. However, while most fans find that the re-ordering of events ruins the storyline or makes it impossible to read, that is the precise reason why I decided to read it. And not only that, but the amount of filler. And not just any kind of filler, but well-written, enjoyable filler, not like that Naruto crap that I wish never happened (except for the one with Mizuki, but I digress). ...

The Haruhi Susumiya series has been a big name in the anime community since the anime premiered way back in 2006. It managed to find a large audience and influence otaku culture in a massive way, and the impact it left is still highly noticeable.

I personally find the manga above the anime, but beneath the original light novels, and let me explain why.

Firstly, unlike the anime, we didn't have to wait 3 years just to get 8 episodes of the same exact gimmick. Fans of the series know exactly what I'm talking about, and I won't say any more for the sake of spoilers. ...

“The Melancholy of Suzumiya ” is a series well known in the community, once a flagship series, due to it’s crazy plot and characters. As far as the manga goes, it fell short of expectations. Before anyone gets upset by this (as I’m sure some will), It is easy to appreciate the wacky themes of Suzumiya and the challenging concepts that are played around with. I really do think the idea is good but the task too big for the author. “The Melancholy of Suzumiya ” is littered with random events and occurrences with a handful of useful arcs within. This manga simply has ...

It's a hard thing talking about Haruhi Suzumiya since there are just so many versions of it that I could possibly not know which is the more definitive way to go. People will probably yell at me telling me to read the light novels, but unfortunately those are not available for me to read and I have to settle with what I can get my hands on...which is quite clearly the manga. From a clearly deductive standpoint, I've heard people say that the light novels and anime are quite similar. Having watched the anime and read the manga, the events themselves were spot on exact ...

If you like the show, you'll also like the manga. You'll also find the movie adaptation in vol 7, 8, and 9. Since the series never got a full anime adaptation, you'll need to read this if you want to find any kind of conclusion to the series. That said, a *true* conclusion isn't necessarily...fully there.
While there is a conclusion that leaves enough information to fill in some of the blanks, sadly the ending really didn't answer many things. (Not really sure if that is a spoiler??) It answered a few questions, but ultimately much more is still left unanswered. The ending itself literally ...
