Loved The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzimiya... But this was a travesty. They've taken the characters, rewritten it without any supernatural, took away the main draw (Haruhi) from most of the show, then created a superficial, horribly written character in Yukki Nagato. The only respite that the story had was for a few episodes when Yukki went to the book-reading and confident girl that was somewhat reminiscent of the girl in the original series.
And then the worst part? They walked all over the original story and turned it into a derivative anime. Standalone, it's decent. But knowing what the
...
characters were in the previous show, this was disgusting to watch as the characters just threw away all of their individuality, leaving Kyon as the only respectable character in the end. Even Haruhi was marginalized.
Lastly, they tore down the most beautiful relationship that existed between Haruhi and Yukki. They hinted at it but never took it anywhere, treating her as a side character that can be disposed of. One of the most famous and wonderfully-written characters cast aside as trash.
Just tragic. If you have any respect for the original show, don't watch this. I wanted more "Haruhi" but what I got ... I'd rather forget. It's a damn shame.
