The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is an adaptation of the novel series by the same name, well... not really the same name. The series is tited 'Haruhi Suzumiya Series' as each book has a different title. But, most light novel series will most likely be like that.
Although, not everyone has the exact same opinion of a show/book/game. So, I cannot recommend the series to you... because I haven't even read it, I just know it's popular. Enough about the novel, let's actually start the review of this anime.
The story follows a weird woman named Suzumiya Haruhi, who believes in espers, ghosts, other weird supernatural shit. Then, suddenly, out of nowhere, those exact things come, there is now aliens and espers and shit in her school. Really, this first season of it? Not that great. First season is not that great and I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone who was just looking for a short series. If they were looking to watch more than just the first season, I'd probably recommend it.
The art style to the anime is pretty good, and there is nothing else to say about the art style. It isn't eyecandy, it's just normal. Okay? OKAY!?!?!
Music that plays in background, never really paid any attention to it. Was I supposed to? I'm not sure. Opening/ending were pretty good, so, yeah.
Well, I have a lot of mixed opinions about the characters, so do everyone else. Let me say this; one half of this site hates Suzumiya Haruhi; the other half loves her. I'm probably in the middle of that. I don't hate her but I don't love her. Yuki Nagato is best grill. I'm not going to explain every character, nor any. They're pretty decent.
Overall, I'd give the anime a 7/10. There is nothing more to really say than that I'm giving it a 7/10, this season is not that great, but I'll still stick around til' more stuff comes out.
