What do you think is better? The light novels or the anime?

I like both, the light novel of course is the original work. Which means it's more detailed (like Kyon talks way more to himself).

The anime is good too, I like the humor in it and to me requires less thinking. I hope the anime for volume 7 is less painful for my brain.

I think the light novels are better.

There are a few good parts in the light novel that were modified in the Anime(I'm looking specifically at Lone Island Syndrome)Where...


And of course as you mentioned the light novel sees alot more of Kyon's awesome narration which pretty much make the series.

The Light Novels are, for me, way better because there is so much more there.

But I like the anime because it led me to read the light novel and I think because of the success of the anime the author of the Light novels (I couldnt spell his name to save my life) was more excited for writing the light novels.

I however do not like the manga they came out for Haruhi Suzumiya. The artwork was hardly up to the standards of the anime or even the occasional pictures in the light novel and it changed what happened in so many places that it almost didnt resemble the anime OR the light novels at all.

I prefer the light novels. While I do enjoy the anime -- it's what introduced me to the series -- I like the novels better because they're far more straightforward. The otaku war over which way is the "correct" way to watch the series is so confusing! D:

I assume you mean the one that was discontinued after 1 volume for all the reasons you mentioned?XD

Anyway. Light novels are far better, both are excellent though :D

The anime got me into the series, but I have to say that the light novels are better. Why? BECAUSE OF ANNYOING ENDLESS EIGHT IN THE ANIME!

Light novel has far more details and kyon's narrating that anime sometimes misses out in

The anime has a long way to go to redeem itself after the Endless Eight ARC that they did.

I still prefer the novels, anyway. I like getting really deep into Kyon's head.
