| Would be a 10/10 (and listed in my faves) if not for its use of causal loop time travel. Besides that, Kouyouen Haruhi is Best Haruhi. 9/10 |
 |
| Everything wrong with the series was right at this movie, i didn't like series much so wasn't planning to watch movie but thankfully i did. Since i didn't like series i wasn't expecting something that good , this changed my bad view on haruhi series. can't say 10/10 9.35 for me, well it's closer to 9 so giving 9 also +fav |
 |
| I watched to movie for the first time in years. It's still as amazing, if not, even more so, as back then! Although it was more aggravating this time around seeing Kyon lose all common sense for the first half, I'd sill give it a 10/10! |
| The only problem with this movie is its length. I mean, it's too short. Solution: Watch it in a loop. "The Endless Disappearance." |
 |
| This was really great and I'm happy it almost reached my expectations. Gave the first season a 7 and the second a 6 but this is truly a 9/10 and my 5th favourite anime movie now. The story was interesting and gave Yuki more of a character, which I loved. The animation was also stunning compared to the series. Also made Kyon one of my favourite male MCs where the series didn't. |

| This came out in 2010, holy i feel old. Feels like a lifetime ago since i watched this movie and even now its still one of the best anime movies ever made. 10/10 time to rewatch the series and rewatch this again for the 3rd time. |
CrimsonResonance said: Oh wow. Coming from someone who wasn't really a fan of the series, this film was actually pretty damn good. Haruhi was actually kinda endearing here, whereas I couldn't stand her presence in the series. A part of me still wishes Kyon chose to stay with AU Nagato tho. Poor girl looked devasted when he rejected her invite T^T Overall a solid 8/10 Fortunately the main Yuki is the same as the AU one. She confirms this when she mentions how she had malfunctioned causing her personality change. Basically she altered the world and then removed her own memories so that she could live a normal life alongside Kyon in the new world, but she purposefully left the emergency exit for Kyon to find if he ever decided he wanted the world to return to how it was. It's likely that the present Yuki remembers the time when she possessed feelings but it could be interpreted that she still has the feelings she gained since she thanks Kyon at the end. |
| Solid 10/10, no other words can describe this other than it being a masterpiece. Mind = blown, I honestly feel as if season 1 and 2 were merely appetizers for the events of this movie because everything here encapsulated what the series was all about. 2 hours and 42 mins of perfect storytelling and stretching the boundaries of what the series is about. |

| I thought season 1 and 2 were pretty dissapointing, I rated them 6 and 4 respectively so naturally I didn’t expect much out of this movie despite the praise it receives, but now I can say it was definitely worth watching them just for this movie, which was absolutely amazing. Watching the SOS Brigade’s antics through Kyon’s perspective was a blast and overall I thought he was a great character, however by the final episode he was still lacking for me to consider him a favourite. This movie fully raised my opinion of him from good to possibly an all-time favourite. Kyon and Yuki’s development was excellent and added much more depth to them, which is exactly what this series needed. Kyon’s inner conflict was fantastic and the hospital rooftop scene with him and Yuki was executed perfectly. This gets a well-deserved 9/10 from me. |

| A freaking great watch. Everything that has happened in the series, all of it, all of it has led up to this masterpiece. Kyon's increasing problem with the world he lives in has been resolved, Nagato's increasing emotional instability has been resolved... The post-credits scene especially, Nagato lifts her head up to read, after seeing the children fill out a library card, instead of keeping her head down. Now that, if that isn't a great metaphor, I don't know what is. This movie really played with my emotions. Kyon missing the ball kicked to him by Taniguchi was so hilariously relatable and well-timed that I actually laughed, out loud, for quite some time after, and then Kyon being stabbed by Ryoko... I was extremely shocked for a moment or too - I really didn't expect that (in fact I'd actually saw a screencap of that moment by accident but I completely forgot about, I'm glad I did) and it makes perfect sense for the character to do that too... That was probably just as large as a revelation as it turned out Nagato to be the cause of the change... Of course, I wouldn't say it was perfect (other people have mentioned by criticisms). But, it is definitely the pinnacle of the Haruhi series. It gave me some thinking to do of my own, my place in the world. Agh, I can't stop writing about it! I guess I'll stop myself here. It was great. Not the best, but very, very close. That scene when Kyon was asking himself... that art direction... agh - I'm talking about it again... 9/10. If I could experience the entire Haruhi series for the first time again, I would. I need to stop now. |
| Still don't get where they come from and which ones are the Kyon and Mikuru(young) that Kyon sees and hears before losing his senses because been stabbed. ?? Sorry if it was already explained in this discussion but I couldn't find it :/ |

| "I like young-girl sexual creations, Lolicon is just one hobby of my many hobbies," he says. I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby". "She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other." |
| How can I not love Yuki after all that she is definitely the best girl damn it that Asakura evil smile. This movie blew me away I didn't expected to be this good, alot or scenes stood out and felt really epic to me 9/10 |
| Ngnl 0 ,a silent voice,and the disappearance of haruhi suzumiya are officially my top 3 best anime movies |
| Most underated anime on mal: https://myanimelist.net/anime/4651/Yume_no_Crayon_Oukoku?q=Yume%20ni%20crayon |
| Amazing movie. The only reason I got into Haruhi was because of this movie; I went into so much trouble only for one movie but it actually paid off. I loved how Yuki was a main character in this movie, it made me have a reason to like her, before this I only found her cool; even to sympathize with her. Kyon was amazing too. During all of the tv series I wished the relationship between them could develop and it finally happened. "Disappearance" looks gorgeous: everyone looks so alive that I could feel what they were feeling. Outstanding work by KyoAni. 8/10. |
 |
| My favorite anime/movie of all time. It's perfect in all aspects for me. I hope one day Kyoani will adapt more of this series |
| Great movie, really missed the SOS brigade. So glad I re-watched this for the holidays. |
 |
| After a decade of the movie being out I finally watched it. I’m so glad I rewatched s1&2 (even thou I cheated with endless8 this time around) I feel like the series is definitely something you have to watch in chronological order and having being able to do that now -compared to when I watched it when it aired- I was able to enjoy the movie so much more. I’m so glad that I decided to rewatch this series. I was reminded of Nagato’s suffering when endless eight was premiering, that plus kyon’s confession that he enjoys the craziness made me appreciate the movie more. Thou, I last minute got spoiled about Nagato being the culprit.. but the Kyon getting attacked by HER towards the end completely took me by surprise!! Sadly it was hard to find a way to watch it with my tablet so I switched from Japanese to English towards the end. First time I watched the series was in Japanese and this re-watch session was all in English. The dub definitely lives up to the praise. I would rewatch this entire movie dubbed and then watch it a third time sub but with a better quality website lol xD My favorite part HAS to be when Kyon finds the other Haruhi, their interaction at the cafe, the plan to sneak into the school, and how she got everyone together at the club room. After being stuck with Kyon on a SOS-less world, I was beyond gleeful when there was a lead to finding her. Anyway, I definitely enjoyed the movie but I’m so sad that after a decade we have not gotten a continuation. Specially with how they left me intrigued with kyon’s upcoming trip to the past. Oh, And I would have loved to see Haruhi’s hot pot but I loooved the ending with Yuki at the library. She definitely smiled a little (: |
 |
| This movie completely blew me away. I could not guess the plot at all, which was good. It went in ways that I completely did not expect. Although nearer to the end I started realising it was probably Yuki, but that was AFTER Yuki had told Kyon back in her apartment. But damn, did not expect Asakura to jump out and stab Kyon like that at all. It had a lot of amazing, beautiful, intense moments this movie. When Kyon first came to in the changed world, it felt so disconcerting and depressing for me. Imagine waking up in a completely different world from the one you remember and yet literally nobody remembers. It seems in the changed world, Haruhi's life is much less interesting and she seems to always have her slightly annoyed face on. She looks nice with long hair though, but nothing beats that long hair ponytail. I was really surprised when Asakura suddenly popped up and stabbed Kyon. I was already teary-eyed as Kyon lay dying. At first I was confused why Nagato suddenly grabbed the knife, why the younger Asahina was there, and why there was Kyon. Although I've figured it out by now and damn, this series just never disappoints and never ceases to amaze me. Haruhi doesn't just love her brigade members, at this point I'm convinced she romantically likes Kyon. Everyone took shifts, but Haruhi was there in the hospital room for the entirety of three days... And she looked so cute sleeping there. I guess they (Nagato?) rewrote everyone's memories, huh? That final scene before the credits was amazing. Nagato felt it was completely her responsibility. But Kyon's changed now. He's not going to just sit by and watch. What he said to Kyon was so heartwarming. Nagato, all throughout this time, had feelings too, even if she couldn't comprehend them. And Kyon's realised that, and realised that even she, in a way, is "human". And nobody's going to punish her. Kyon's got a trump card now: "John Smith". He says that to Haruhi and Haruhi will know everything. That finally "thank you" from Nagato was just... damn. I can't even express it in words anymore. That scene on the hospital roof with the snow falling was the absolute best. I don't really understand what the post-credits scene was though. Anyway, I expected a good movie but instead I got a masterpiece. This movie is definitely one of my favourites and deserves a 10/10, a rating for movies that I never give out to other movies besides Shinkai's works or the likes of Koe no Katachi. And this movie wholly deserves it. It is definitely a masterpiece. Will have to read the light novels some day. Thank you, Nagaru Tanigawa, for writing such an amazing light novel series. And thank you, Kyoto Animation, for bringing it to life so amazingly and beautifully! |
 |
| Gotta give props to the Haruhi journey (2006 series, 2009 series, and this 2010 movie). It was much more entertaining than i could have ever imagined. This movie had a serious tone, so of course it was amazing. The Haruhi franchise deserves its praise. it is truly entertaining. Im surprised KyoAni has not made another Haruhi season since this movie ended. |

| finally finished this series and watched the movie and well it was worth it seeing as this movie is a masterpiece. |
 |
| 10/10, an absolute masterpiece! |
| Re-watching to prepare myself to The Intuition of Haruhi Suzumiya, the new light novel coming this November. Am I wrong in noticing the alt-world is considerably dirtier, grittier and overall physically more degraded than the mainstream timeline? Tirinchas said: The only problem with this movie is its length. I mean, it's too short. Solution: Watch it in a loop. "The Endless Disappearance." I think this is the second longer anime movie of all time. And Final Yamato, the longer, is only some minutes longer anyway Dwdwer said: My favorite anime/movie of all time. It's perfect in all aspects for me. I hope one day Kyoani will adapt more of this series Since after all this time the light novels are coming back, MAYBE the anime comes back as well sometime? I would love to see two more seasons or so to complete the remaining light novels --- i imagine them named as The Rampage and The Astonishment of Haruhi Suzumiya respectively That's what remains to be adapted: V. The Rampage of Haruhi Suzumiya Prologue: Winter Snow Mountain Syndrome VI. The Wavering of Haruhi Suzumiya Love at First Sight Where Did the Cat Go? The Melancholy of Mikuru Asahina VII. The Intrigues of Haruhi Suzumiya VIII. The Indignation of Haruhi Suzumiya Editor in Chief Straight Ahead! Wandering Shadow IX. The Dissociation of Haruhi Suzumiya X/XI. The Astonishment of Haruhi Suzumiya XII. The Intuition of Haruhi Suzumiya |

| my dark magical girl webseries https://unsafemahoushoujo.wordpress.com/blog/ |
| this was a great movie! the animation was awesome and i am officially jumping on the kyon x yuki ship <3 man i feel so bad for alt-yuki, she was so cute i miss her T.T there's just one thing that really bugs me still: supposedly nagato built up error data over time (aka feelings?) that caused her to malfunction and remake the world. so does that mean she has a secret desire to just be a normal HS girl like we saw? but then why would she put asakura in that world?? could it be that the malfunction does not reflect her true desires? so she doesn't lowkey have a crush on kyon? Also additional questions: why does kyon call asakura a "shadow" of nagato? and who is the one that pushed kyon in the new timeline? yuki? was he even actually pushed lol?? and i saw someone ask this earlier in the thread, but why does yuki have the power to take away haruhi's power if the information entity whatever doesn't even know what she is? I think I am going to give the film an 8/10. it had a couple flaws in my eyes (the pacing was a bit slow in the beginning and a bit fast at the end, so the runtime was not justified imo. also I was able to predict that they would have to go back in time to three years ago pretty early on, although everything in the last 30 min came out of left field for me). the biggest issue tho are those loose ends. especially the first one, i am so confused on how to view nagato, if i could find a satisfactory answer to my question above then i would rate it 9/10. if the yuki we saw with feelings has just... disappeared tho (aka doesn't reflect on current yuki at all) then i would feel that is a cheap waste of character development/audience emotions |

| This will never get old |
| The series really let me down. After all the hype, and some really good things here and there...I still couldn't like it. The movie, however, is great. I'm happy that I convinced myself to carry on. If they decide to do anything else with the story, I'll most likely watch based on the strength of the movie alone. |
 |
| Certainly better than the other Haruhi's. I'd say this is a very high 8, close to 9 objectively. I really enjoyed the beginning but slowly lost interest towards the end. Still a very great movie. Going to drop a 6-8 on here. |
 |
| Wow what a movie. At first I really thought those two seasons of Suzumiya Haruhi are really boring. Eventually all of it build up for this movie. The animation quality, composition shots and Kyon monologues keep me engaged for the entire runtime. Sometimes we need insanity in our life because it is fun. I glad I'm stick to the end knowing the purpose of Haruhi's presence to the narration of the overall story. Great movie 9/10 |
  |
| The Haruhi series is no masterpiece, but IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE A KID again just getting into anime. I finished 23 episodes (skipping 5 episodes of the Endless Eight) and the movie in less than a week, something I haven't done since I am 14, and I am 21 now. It just reminds me that an anime doesn't always have to be greatest masterpiece story or have the deeeeeepest characters to be enjoyable, just a cast of likable characters with a simple plot and it will be the most entertaining thing ever. But man, I wish Haruhi and Kyon got together. |
| This was a great movie, maybe even better than the series in a way. While watching the series, I slowly began to find Yuki Nagato interesting, and this movie really made me realize why so many people like her so much. I became somewhat emotional throughout this movie. We now know that Yuki does in fact, have emotions, even though she believes them to be an "error." Seeing this side of her made her even more interesting. It would be interesting to see her further experience human emotion, similar to how Data on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" strived to understand human emotion. I still like Haruhi of course, but Yuki has really grown on me. |
 |
| That was incredible. I started Haruhi season 1 two days, ago, and it's been absolutely wild. I endured every moment of the endless eight arc, every Kyon sigh, every crime committed against Asahina, all because I had heard this movie was perfect. And it delivered. I don't know if any anime movie, or any anime in general has ever made me clutch my pillow with the tension, or made me emphasize so much with a character's fall into despair and rise into hope. And for being made in 2010? This looked stunning all the way through. This is the 170th anime I've finished, and the 6th 10/10 I've given. (Ignore Food Wars as a 10/10, that's just for the memories lol). |
