Synopsis

On a cold December day, Kyon arrives at school prepared for another outing with his fellow SOS Brigade members. However, much to his surprise, he discovers that almost everything has changed completely: Haruhi Suzumiya and Itsuki Koizumi are nowhere to be found; Mikuru Asahina does not recognize him at all; Yuki Nagato is a regular human; and Ryouko Asakura has mysteriously returned. Although he is no stranger to the supernatural, Kyon is disturbed by this odd turn of events and decides to investigate on his own.

Finding himself to be the only person that is aware of the previous reality, Kyon is now faced with a difficult choice: to finally live the normal life he has always wanted, or uncover a way to turn back the hands of time and restore his chaotic yet familiar world.

Have you ever wondered why this series is called ‘The MELANCHOLY of Haruhi Suzumiya’? If you only watch the original two seasons of the anime, you may be left without an answer. It is this film-length sequel, Disappearance, which encapsulates that melancholia and is one of the best anime movies ever produced. This review will be spoiler free.

Who is Erik Satie? You may or may not have heard the name, but you have certainly heard his work. The Trois Gymnopedies, a series of three piano compositions, are his most famous; they are also a major inspiration for modern ambient music. Many, however, associate Satie’s Trois ...

I originally wanted to write a really long review discussing the entire show and how brilliant this movie is at addressing everything, but I don't really think it's needed, and I don't think anyone would really care lol. This is a retrosepective on the first two seasons, but only for the sole purpose of trying to explain why this movie is so special. It's important to note that I'm mostly talking about the story here, the music, animation, and voice acting are all 10/10 amazing. Season 1 is a bunch of fun slice of life and mini adventures with one amazing arc that is nearly ... perfect. It doesn't reach the peaks of monogatari series, but it combines themes and storytelling from it and others lns like bunny girl senpai into something really consistent and special that is a cut above the rest. Then all of a sudden in season 2 the storytelling becomes crazy, everything becomes crazy, understated, really meta and you become a part of the show as dumb as it sounds. The endless eight is infamous because it casts physical and mental pain on the audience by making you watch the same episode 8 times to immerse you fully into how hurt the characters are truly being by Haruhi. The other arc the sigh of haruhi is an insane slow burn that leaves you feeling sick. It feels like the point of season 2 was to turn the show into a horror anime where you despise Haruhi and the physical and emotional abuse she inflicts on others while using assualt, drugging, and extortion. When not a single character can do a thing to stop Haruhi or change anything, you become the subconscious of them put in the same place, no resolutions are given and you feel awful, forced into the subconscious and told to move on. The movie is the direct addressing to all of this, it takes the storytelling style of season 1 and does it better than most of the competition while being the conclusion to the emotional buildup of season 2. Kyon and Nagato addressing the impact of the last season and the actions and monologues around them are genuinely brilliant, it's some of the best writing in any anime. I think it's a testament to the quality of this anime that I could go from believing the show had genuinely become horrifying and feeling sick because of a character, to 2 hours and 30 minutes later feeling genuine warmth in my heart and forgiveness for the same character. Nobody is perfect, people will always let their emotions lash out, and sometimes they just can't address them because it's easier to run. I'm so impressed that season 2 wasn't just me crackhead theory crafting and feeling smart and the writers actually knew what they were doing, this was the perfect conclusion in every way. It's no silent voice, but its better than other things that do very similar things like zoku owarimonogatari, end of evangelion, and the bunny girl movie and it's certainly worth your time. I think i'm most shocked at how slow and understated everything is, the movie takes its time, I couldn't give a consensus on how I felt ever until the very end, and it didn't have the bombastic moments in other similar works, but somehow it worked so well. Haruhi Suzumiya gets the zach seal of approval, every anime deserves an ending like this, at least evangelion kinda got something similar even if its way worse.

Mixed Feelings

Story

The premise for this movie is not groundbreaking but it is an interesting one. Aside from that that, the movie is seriously too long with pacing issues especially in the beginning. For such a long movie, not a lot happens that moves the plot foward. I think it could have been condensed half an hour and still get the same point across. Even for this series known for being out there, this film feels very grounded which may or may not be your cup of tea.

Art

It is very noticeable that the animation is extremely fluid. The art style is not too much different from ...
