| I have never given a movie a 10/10 before. I ate through episodes of season 1 like a sugar-crazed child in a candy store, and then had my patience tested with the Endless Eight. The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya is simply the ultimate payoff. Having watched this movie TWICE, it is extremely hard for me to rate this as anything but a 10. God bless Kyoto Animation. |
 |
| The thing I love the most about this movie is the introverted version of Nagato. No wonder she gets the praise (also because of what this movie is about, lol). Anyways for the movie itself, I'm pretty surprised that I didn't get bored one bit after watching a slow 2 hr. 42 min. film. As for my overall rating for the show, I enjoyed the heck out of it; however, I was expecting more since the movie is ranked 59 on Mal. Good thing I didn't keep my expectations too high. Overall at highest, an 8 out of 10. Edit: I have come to realize why I didn't get the whole experience. It's because starting from episode 3 of the endless eight arc, I skipped till the last moment to see if Kyon would stop Haruhi. |

| You know, I'm still waiting for that sequel. |
 |
| What an amazing movie. Art was better than ever and the whole unfamiliarity moments at the start was done so perfectly. This was a perfect way to wrap up the series and I just love so much from this movie. The scene where kyon reunites with haruhi again is one scene in particular that sticks out. I also love the winter/christmas theme (even though I finished this in summer on a hot day) easily in the 9/10-10/10 range for me. I'm impressed |
 |
| I know i'm 11 years late but The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya is the best animated movie i've ever seen |

| Sorry but I didn't quite understand this, was it all a coma? The characters are good, the animation is perfect (KyoAni, of course), ok OST, but the plot.... thought there was going to be romance here, disappointed :/ |

| Well can't be a more perfect time watching this movie than this particular season. Certainly exceeded expectations i had after binging through the whole series, and ngl Yuki was the real bless this movie had. A whole 166 minutes long and even then not for a single minute i felt a bit tired, so quiet evident the immense amount of appreciation it receives. So an easy 9/10 for me, nah 9.5 to be precise. Will definitely give a rewatch someday given the enjoyment i had from the whole series altogether. Will miss for sure though:( |
 |
| Ya definitely one of the best franchise anime movies I have seen.Everything about movie just too good.The foreshadowing was on the point and great conclusion,exceeded my expectations. 9/10 |
 For your Information: |
| Apakah maksud adegan diakhir setelah lagu penutupan? Lalu, untuk yang membaca Manga, apakah Kyon dan Mikuru menikah? Aku penasaran dengan hal itu karena aku mendukung hubungan mereka. |
 |
| What does the scene at the end after the closing song mean? Then, for those who read the Manga, are Kyon and Mikuru married? I'm curious about it because I support their relationship. |

Shindz said: I think it’s something about not forgetting. The phrase “wasurenaide”, which translates to “do not forget” (used google translate so the translation might be rough), is sung at the end of each phrase of the song. Nobody is married. Even if Kyon were to marry somebody, I don’t think it would be Mikuru.What does the scene at the end after the closing song mean? Then, for those who read the Manga, are Kyon and Mikuru married?

| The original light novel haven't ended after almost 20 years lmao. Love it!!! |
| nice |
| Mixed and underwhelmed on this one, probably because it took me two whole years to get around to on top of hearing all the praise people have for the movie as the peak of the series and all the times I've thought about the first season between then. I'm curious about where this sits in the release of the novels because if this is as faithful an adaption as I'm inclined to believe it is, then holy shit did the series tank hard after the first novel. I figured the whole appeal of Kyon's character was as the sarcastic and composed straight man that he was made out to be in the first season, but for all of the second season and most of the movie he's been completely retarded. I lost my mind when Kyon started thrashing Taniguchi around after mentioning Haruhi's name and when he asked Mikuru to whip out her titties to verify the mole on one of them. They both seem like situations Haruhi would initiate before being shut down by Kyon. He also doesn't seem to understand why the Data Integration Thought Entity would decide on someone as unwavering and objective as Nagato to uphold it's principles? It's the entire point of her character, bro. Fortunately, it picks up around the second half, which is also when it begins to recapture the spirit of the good shit from season 1. There's still some dumb stuff that pulls it down for me, like when Kyon started aggressively reiterating the point that he returned to his timeline because he liked Haruhi's company, how he belaboured injecting Nagato with the serum to allow for him to get shanked by Kyoko and how the entire movie was a coma (maybe not? I don't get that part), but other than that, I was having an alright time. Nagato having feelings and resetting the universe is also a complete shark jump if I've ever seen one. It's not the first or most flagrant time Haruhi has done it (I'm looking at you, The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya), but it's disappointing with how much of an existential threat the person behind it was made out to be. It really makes you wonder what the point of any of this was. Perhaps it was just doomed fundamentally by way of adapting something which was less than halfway into the novels as the big massive send-off to the series. There's a charm with how it ends unceremoniously as a result, but I can't help but be left wanting more answers. I can't say I didn't get any feels from this, though, because I definitely did. A significant portion of it comes from the movie leaning towards being emotionally manipulative over having any compelling character drama, but a lot of it also comes from how the Haruhi franchise is a complete relic of the mid-2000s that has failed to go beyond or maintain any relevance in recent memory. It seems that everyone who was into this when it came out has moved on and lost interest, which is unfortunate, but I guess is how things should be. I'm sure I'll go down the same path, so I'd just like to pre-emptively say that I'm grateful for the first season and am glad I saw all of the KyoAni stuff through to the end. |

| This is for the whole anime (all 28 episodes and this movie): Haruhi is a very entertaining anime. I can truly say that its very enjoyable, with its high energy, and its suspense moments, and great voice acting (Both original japanese dub and English dub). Even the Endless Eight episodes were enjoyable IF you only watch the first E8 episode, one of the middle E8 episode, and the last E8 episode. But Haruhi anime is not perfect and it has a huge flaw, in that many moments the anime can get into a very dialogue-heavy moments which can make it a bit of a drag to watch. Thats why I always say that it is best to watch the Haruhi anime in English dub, to help you get through those dialogue-heavy moments. Overall, its very surprising that this movie is the final Haruhi anime (true Haruhi anime, not the spin-off) that has been produced. Its a damn shame. |

| I didn't like the series at all but this movie was pretty good. Didn't even feel like almost 3 hours tbh |
| Like many people said, the movie is a huge step up from the first 2 seasons. It was totally worth the watch. 8/10. |
| Thank you, KyoAni |
| I hate everyone equally |
| After watching s1 & s2 I was worried if movie is the same, but no, it was worth watching them for movie. This was so good in every way, the animation was much better too. |
| This movie was simply beautiful, kyon x nagato yuki FTW. 10/10 |
| Happy(?) Disappearance y’all! |
| Good movie. Haruhi Suzumiya at its finest, fully worthy of being a movie. Was it worth having to watch the '2' seasons that lead up to this? Sure, I guess. I still don't get the connection between this and the endless eight though; I remember someone saying that watching the endless eight makes this movie even better. I don't exactly see why, other than perhaps feeling even more sympathy for Nagato. But that's besides the point, this movie was quite beautiful. The scene with Kyon and Nagato walking home together at night, with the all the cars passing by with the bright headlights shining on them as they drive past? Wow. The actual stakes in this film felt as high as they could be; I panicked as hard as Kyon was realizing the world that he knew had changed completely. And the snow at the end? Not just white dots on the screen- they went the extra length to allow you to see each individual snowflake. The detail in having the snow being melted on Kyon and Nagato's hands was a nice touch as well, being in direct contact with their body heat, while we see the snow on Kyon's hair and clothes still being as snow. Technically beautiful as expected from Kyoto animation, and emotionally moving throughout: every moment with Nagato, and of course Kyon looking over the side of his bed to see something which I think we haven't seen before previously: a sleeping Haruhi, staying by Kyon's side, waiting for him to wake up. Ok but now.... huh? What? How? Everything just got, fixed, just like that? Kyon is sent back to the moment where Nagato changes the world, but kind of just waits until she successfully changes the world again before injecting her with the magic serum? I guess the serum could work at any time? But they psycho-Asakura shows up and stabs Kyon, despite Nagato having already changed the world? Was this Asakura always psycho in the first place? Was she never effected by Nagato's world change? And what was her purpose again? Just to keep Nagato in check? And why'd Nagato want to change the world anyway? Has living for god knows how many centuries made her accumulate enough errors or whatever to cause her to want what she was experiencing, to be a part of the world she was observing? And then how is Kyon saved at the end? Some faceless guy speaking all cryptic shows up and picks up the serum, and does he inject Kyon with it? Could Kyon have shot himself all this time and fixed it just like that? Who is this mysterious guy? Another version of Kyon? And what happened to the world Nagato created, is it just deleted from history and replaced by Kyon simply falling down the stairs, pushed by, Nagato I guess? And now everything is good? Have I not been paying attention properly this entire time? Yeah probably. But it's okay. These questions are nitpicks. This movie is still pretty good and definitely deserves all the praise that it has gotten over the years. I will probably re-watch it in the distant future with better understanding, and most likely enjoy and appreciate it more. Maybe I'll watch an "explained" video if if there is one, and maybe boost my score up to an eight. For now, I'll keep it at a low-ish seven out of ten. Honestly one of the most elevating factors of this movie for me was the use of Gymnopedie No.1, by Erik Satie. Such a simple yet beautiful piece indeed. 7.3/10 edit: Nevermind all my questions, this video put my focus in the right place. This movie deserves no less than an 8/10 at least. |

| i will be honest, unfortunately or not, i had to watch the movie in 2 parts. meaning, i had business to do, important than anime (apparently) that i had to stop the movie kinda half way through. the last phase i got to hear before going was "i'm john smith". damn. and then i was, walking away to do important things and stuff. on the way i got a lot of thinking about the movie, and the series as a whole. as in the endless eight arc, this movie had been to make this whole anime more a riddle than storytelling show. it got me leading to think that the whole 28 episodes was more of spreading clues for kyon in this incident, rather than being anime. and it worked quite fine. but this also got me thinking, why there was need of endless eight from the first place? the answer came after i returned home. ate dinner. only then i got to sit and see it through the rest of the movie. damn. i was left speechless. and while i feel that the movie, like the series and it's broadcast order, wanted us to "think over what happened and solves it ourself". this movie should have more 20 minutes. yes, this 2hr and 40min wasn't enough. i want more mindfuking shit like this. i want more of kyon messing up the time. and i also wants more of nagato and kyon messing up with space and time. i want more of this. damn. oh, there's serious lack in koizumi's asper stuff. but i don't really care, i really hate this guy. i also think the ending is a bit cliche. but kyon said it himself. but it was still perfect at any scale, and i don't want this to be different. no! i want 20 minutes more! arg... 10/10 |
| Back to the Future, except they go for the bad ending wich is living in a world where Haruhi ruins the day for everybody. |
| :v |
| damn i certainly didn't expect it to be this good. didn't like season 2 that much so had low expectations for this but boy was it good. even made me teary-eyed here and there. still there's some stuff that i didn't understand like the act and reindeer part came outta nowhere, the last shot of yuki after credits, how did future kyon saved a dying kyon. also is it just me or did it seem like nagato has some feelings for kyon?everything's clear thanks to some explanations i read on reddit really liked how everything was connected to season 1 in time travel sense. it was so good that the length didn't feel much at all. kyoani the GOAT. it really was worth watching the first 2 seasons just for this movie. feels like a 10/10. |

Future Kyon saving the dying Kyon is a plot point after the movie which actually never got animated since this anime won't ever receive a new season. Before December 18th Nagato doesn't have feelings for Kyon since she is basically a machine without free will, but after the film everything changes. By stripping her past self from all of her powers in order to make it impossible to change the world, she creates a paradox where she has to return to return to the past to erase her past self powers, making it impossible for her to do it in the future as well. I'm reading the manga and yeah... they fucked up everything lol. Kyon itself isn't convinced by what happened. |

| @Pitto_ i won't lie i don't remember a single thing from that movie rn so i can't tell you anything. but if i wrote something about act and reindeer part then there must be something like that i think. maybe a small scene or something. |

| Watched this years ago and recently I saw the spin off. Rewatching now makes me appreciate both even more. |
| I've been watching this movie every year for the past 14 years. it hasn't gotten one bit worse over time. The best |
 |
| This movie was fucking peak. Not much to criticize it, the plot is great as always, truly enjoyed watching it. Can't believe it turns 14 years old this year. |
| Pretend there's something flashy and cool here. |
| I am so glad Crunchyroll decided to make this available pretty much immediately after I had decided to start watching the second season of Haruhi Suzumiya lol Loved every second of this movie, and I think it's a nice way to finish the series off since there really isn't much to watch when it comes to Haruhi from this point on, although I will watch that other series with Nagato soon, but I'm also kind of hesitant because once I do there really isn't anything left after that, and who knows if we'll ever get anything else ;_; I'm really glad I decided to pick this series up though! Definitely one of my favorites, and I can totally see myself coming back to rewatch it all! |
