The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

[paulfear]

this is a great series so far, i've gotten quite a few laughs from it.

i hope it will be more than 14 episodes tho.

i like how he just has deadpan expressionless conversations with her. no matter how weird or ridiculous the topic is.

Just watched the third episode, this series is awesome. Haruhi is a great character, and the way she treats everyone, espcially Mikuru, it's awesome.

So, aliens are among them according to the final minutes of episode three... I hope they portray them in a good manner.

Or maybe Yuki (that was the name of the shy girl right?) is as crazy as Haruhi.

Damn. Episode 3 was awesome. Loved the bunny suits.

[Yukimura]

Wow, just finished the first threee eps, this looks hilarious. Yuki is my new favorite girl who keeps tp her self and doesn't go along with the wackniess around her...is there a fancy name for that girl, she's cliché enough to warrant one, i'll just say she's mt new favorite Rei-like personality. I haven't seen any of the other shows mentioned in this thread that were apparently similar to this, so I can only say that this show had made me laugh more and harder than any anime i've seen to date (not counting laughing at stuff that's not supposed to be funny).
Haruhi seems to be the perfect single-minded obsessive charachter. Mikuru is a great lackey, for her, though i'm very curious as to why she puts up with it, she's obviously uncomfortable.with Haruhi's treatment of her. "If i'm ruined for marriage, will you take me?" Is going on my non-existant great quotes list. And if the writers can keep Kyon's side comments as zingy and sarcastic as they are now this show should be gold all the way through

[RyougaZell]

Yeah, one of the best parts is Kyon's sarcasms.
That's why I loved the ridiculous first episode hehe.

Oh yeah... the preview for next episodes also cracks me... when Haruhi says the wrong episode number and Kyon has to correct her again and again.

Did I mention I love the ending animation?

[masamuneehs]

wow i tried the first episode and i was shocked at how much i liked it. They point out all of the crappy anime stereotypes so well. The cameraman's comments absolutely made it for me, and they weren't done in a 'bunch-line' format, just casually inserted in there, which was wonderful.

actually laughed out loud when the cat started talking. Oh and the 'who makes lunch for the love interest' thing seemed to be a direct shot at Shana, is there another anime that does that? I'm going to DL the next two episodes as well.

edit to below - meh, maybe it's just japanese school flirting then. i try to avoid 'school' animes so i can only recall it being in Shana

[Munsu]

I don't remember the scene specifically, but doing a parody on "making lunch for your love interest" can't be said to be a direct shot at Shana. A lot of animes have that, it's very comon.
