Anime Review: The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya Season 1 *Remake Review*

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One day there was me sitting down looking like a pillock while waiting for the pre-ordered figma from my favorite anime, I was so bored that day that I searched for the nearest ANIME POSSIBLE and the nearest ANIME POSSIBLE from me is that dvd I got via mail order because people that day seemed to brag about TMOHS living up to the jewel encrusted anime DREAM, I.E. BEING GOOD. Well, let's crack on, shall we?

As a result, the SOS Brigade is formed, a club which specializes in all that is the supernatural.

Comments On The Anime And Thoughts On It

Probably one of the most NON-GENERIC CAST I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE, Seriously, search me an anime with a cast like this and I will literally jam needles into my eyes when you can find the exact same cast! come on, I'll give you five minutes, I'm going to sit here slapping my face...

Are you done? Now, did you find any?... OF COURSE NOT, anime's these days are more on fanservice rather than substance, which is why I have every god damn right to name this anime THE JEWEL ENCRUSTED ANIME. Seriously, whoever the hell thought of putting the powers of a GOD, ESPER, ALIEN, TIME TRAVELER, on a high school student is fucking genius and the genius part doesn't even end, the 4 high school students ruin the shit out of 1 NORMAL HUMAN BEING.

If you forgive this anime for having the plot of a tarantula having a seizure who will absolutely like it but if you're the kind of person who LOVES PLOT and absolutely just PLOT then I will personally push you out of a speeding train right into a valley of spikes because let me ask you this, are you seriously gonna neglect the toy box TMOHS just for story?

Well, how about sometimes we can just run around kicking the shins of PLOT and just go for substance, yeah! this is where it matters, Kyon getting stomped around by Haruhi and him using his monologue voice... DAMN GOOD! who the hell cares? the substance of this anime is just for pure ENTERTAINMENT but again though if you try to get into the plot you might as well stop because it's like an indecisive knickers of a WHORE.

Also people have been asking me which is better, the Light Novel version or the Anime version, I would certainly say, IT DEPENDS, if you're looking for substance that is entertaining, I would tell you to stop being a twat and get the Anime Version but if you're looking for a much more specific and not dumbed down version of a 200 paged novel then get the LIGHT NOVEL.

Believe me when I say that this very anime is unique and not like any other, since anime these days are all about fanservice and girls running around in skirts that are short enough to look under them, then you might as well watch this instead of watching same box filled anime's (meaning: having the same shit)

The Legendary Nitpicking Division

1.Seriously, who sorted out the episodes?
- I'm starting to think that whoever was in the job of sorting out the episodes seem to have nodded off or something, because the chronological order of the anime is FUCKED or maybe this is just for screwing with our heads? well, no matter, the spectacle is rather fun to SEE!

2.Where the hell did mikuru come from?!
- I'm guessing she came from, just a wee-bit from the future, she just looks like an adult you see and seeing as how she looks and also judging by her age in the anime, the future mikuru is just ahead of our time for just a little bit of, I dunno 10 years? or 5 years?
3.Falling down from that height
- Sorry, but Kyon could've died at that height.... Or maybe Haruhi wanted her to live so badly she altered the dynamics of how Kyon's body worked and now saved him and herself from a fall that could've resulted in the two of them DEAD.

4.Murder mystery plot
- Who would've known... That was some quite, murder mystery, oh well.. oh by the way [Somewhat a spoiler] she pulled of a Pheonix Wright "OBJECTION" stance.. DAMN GOOD!

[Scoring]                                             Ratings On This Anime

1 = YOU FAIL / Eeh? I only saw a quarter of fanservice     (the 2nd sentence is for fanservice ratings)
2 = MEH! / I guess there's not much fanservice
3 = A Shrug / Hmmm, There is! Fanservice
4 = Somewhat it's kinda good / Woopsy daisy that's fanservice alright
5 = Average / Okay, Currently looking at more fanservice scenes
6 = Good / That's a daily dosage of fanservice 
7 =  GOOD!! *Interested Eyes* / More fanservice!
8 = Very good / Much more fanservice
9 = Holy crap! It's awesome / Holy crap! I'm nosebleeding
10 = Perfect, now get out of here before I die of awesomeness from you / I think I'm swimming in my own blood, that came out from my nose. 

1.NON-CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER STORY 3/10 - The plot is oh-so screwed up, with episodes not tying together with the next one, you might as well yell fuck it and screw the plot and throw it away in the nearest window
  CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER STORY 7/10 - The plot is good, though not kinda THE BEST EVER plot, like the one I've seen in clannad, although it would be better if nagisa didn't just stand there but she's a frail teenage highschool student (exceptions) anyway, like what I've said, it's not the best story but the story is simple enough to understand without you needing a spreadsheet of how the plot goes.

2.Artwork 8/10 - The artwork is rather the generic style of LOOKING GOOD, whereas I noticed that their eyes are quite different, other than that... that's all there is to the artwork.

3.OP Song 8/10 - Good song choice, it works as a song for the 1 minute OP.. boukeen deshou deshou~
   ED Song 10/10 - And who can forget the all time popular song, Hare Hare Yukai, which has been danced for like about MILLION TIMES NOW.

4.Concept 10/10 - Totally original, especially since the place where it lives in is so concentrated in ripping off everyone else (the anime industry)

5.Fanservice 5/10 - Definitely not the nosebleeding fanservice you'll see from other anime's like for example  Kanokon, which was like the jack of all fanservice, maybe not.. All I can say is, TMOHS is not big on fanservice rather they are big on slight bursts of fanservice.

6.Comedy In it 8/10 - Definitely the anime to watch if your searching for comedy and a literally awesome anime.

7.Entertainment Rate 9/10 - Surprisingly, I'm not giving perfect scores like other reviewers over there giving perfect scores to a bull fighter... what was I saying?... Anyway, I won't give it a perfect score because for the reason offf, Haruhi somewhat pushed the level of jerkness, yep, sometimes she pushes it so hard that I feel bad for the other characters instead of laughing at them. Well, Haruhi though as a jerk is very laughable  
so you might as well enjoy that.

So This Anime?
Pass, Average, Fail

Now now, I'm not saying all these positive things towards the anime because I'm running around shouting as a fangirl over here, to clarify myself, all those great positive things also have a negative side, THE FUCKING PLOT. Which is rather inconsistent, one time haruhi goes asking all about the meaning of life and next thing you know she goes running around asking Kyon to get something, well anyway it was just probably the atmosphere that made her ask that question and all those negative sides are blighted by the aforementioned substance and comedy, also a little bit of just SPECTACLE, but thank god the fanservice is not a hyperactive kid, for example other anime's tend to just pull off fanservice because they can't get over the fact that seeing panties or seeing breasts are just for those immature idiots who can't get over the fact that
they have seen the LIGHT.

Seriously, it's like fanservice is trying to hammer our heads with fanservice, they just won't stop, from other anime's that is. But thank Haruhi that they didn't push fanservice here too much.Oh, and by the way the anime is a PASS.

Advised To

1.People who want to fuck the plot over and just get a laugh
2.People who want to see how the hell will 1 normal teenaged guy handle 4 people with powers
3.People who want to see a jewel encrusted anime
4.People who did not watch TMOHS yet (yep, seriously, watch it!)
5.People who like non-generic characters
6.People who would want to see a different concept for once
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What This Anime Has Taught Me
That if you're a normal guy and you're surrounded by people with powers, you're going to have a bad time... Also if your god is a teenage girl, she will wish for ANYTHING, Thank Haruhi she did not wish for a crappy anime.

Meh, this anime taught me some stuff, but haven't really gave me something to think about, or it did?

What if Haruhi exists and she's just a higher being than the pre-existing GOD?... Seriously, religion is fucked up, anything could happen.
