I'm honestly not against spin-off series, after all my lovely Illya Prisma is just a spin-off of Fate, and so I wasn't against a spin-off focusing on Nagato either. After all practically everyone loved Nagato in the original, almost as much as they hated Haruhi (aka a lot). There are just 2 major problems. 1)The audience came to sympathise with the tortured lonely Nagato of Haruhi's universe, remaking her into a girl whose only characteristic is being clumsy was stupid to begin with. 2)Haruhi didn't have a "just bad" response from the audiences, she practically got kicked out of her own show and the movie had no relation to her other than the name. So tell me dear animators, WHY does the b£$%& with Lucy's voice need to come back?! I thought it was clear by now, we HATE her. And of course unlike Nagato who got a total personality liftover Haruhi remains the same annoying overenergetic little f$%& that desperately tries to grab attention but ends up pissing everyone off. Actually make that 3 problems: 3) What the hell is wrong with the blue-hair's eyebrows?!

Anyway as usual the (unbelievably boring) Kyon joins the literature club, with Nagato as a president and her friend Eyebrows as the second member. They practically do nothing all day and it's just Nagato playing games, while slowly (very very slowly) developing a romance... Which is about as interesting as reading the Terms of Agreement in non-EA games, considering Ky-on has zero personality and Nagato is unbearable while Eyebrows is just the onee-chan character. It was tollerable though! Without the b$%^h everything felt much more relaxed than the original and despite this Nagato not being the one we loved it was still watchable... And then of course the b£$%h arrived and everything returned to the original level of s%£t that we were this close to forgetting.

About halfway through, the anime did manage to catch our interest. Haruhi was mysteriously gone for mysterious reasons shrouded in mystery that I suspect were described by "ratings plummeting to the ground" and Nagato returned temporarily to the personality we all loved from the original. Granted Kyon was still as interesting as watching a cabbage grow, and ms Eyebrows was still taking too much screentime for her own good, but the anime became enjoyable at least. The emotionless loli is back biatches! Of course that couldn't last forever and eventually we returned to our beloved swamp of stupid.

Oh and before I forget: 4)What point is there to Asahina's existence? I mean, seriously, it was more common for the characters to mention that "she has work to do" than actually talking to her. 5)Kyon's voice acting... Plain awful, Asahina's voice acting... Unbearable (having to hear her in Wakaba girl is a challenge), Haruhis voice acting... You don't deserve to be Lucy you b£$%h! 6)Graphics were mediocre at best.
