The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (light novel)
| The novels have more narration from Kyon compared to the anime, but otherwise there are almost no differences between the two besides a couple of extra stories they skipped. (Such as the trip to the cabin in the mountains. It only gets a short mention in the anime, I believe.) To give you an idea of how far ahead the story has gone, there's about 10 novels right now and the anime as a whole (Both seasons and the movie) covered only the first 4 novels. |

| Endless Eight has all of 30 pages in the novel. It doesn't repeat like the anime does. I'm also glad to hear you'll read them from the beginning since you may have missed a couple of side stories if you chose to skip some. Enjoy. |

Okay, I know I'm 4 months late, but I had to respond and correct you. In the anime (2006 and 2009 episodes and the movie) none of the stories have been skipped chronologically. Snowy Mountain Syndrome takes place after Disappearance. As far as I remember, there was no mention of the story in the anime, except for maybe mention of taking the trip in the future. Also, the anime version doesn't only cover the first 4 books. Two stories were animated from book 5 (Endless Eight and The Day of Sagittarius) and two stories were animated from book 6 (Live Alive and The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina Episode 00). The stories in the series have a tendency to be chronologically out of order at times, much like the original broadcast airing of the 2006 series. As far as the differences between the books and the anime go, there aren't very many. There are only three stories that had noticeable differences while I was reading. Those were Remote Island Syndrome, Live Alive, and Endless Eight. And the differences were mostly just to make better use of the animation medium (except Endless Eight, which was just them having fun). I haven't seen the Disappearance movie yet because I couldn't stand the cam rip, but from what I've heard, that follows the book almost exactly, word for word. Again, sorry for the late reply, and I mean no offense to Wallachia with the corrections. ^_^ |
