I was honestly really disappointed with this one.
I am not going to say that I expected it to be some groundbreaking revelation. However, from all the hype surrounding it, I initially thought it was going to be unique and interesting and filled with heartfelt episodes and/or sad ones, or something, anything.
Sadly, I must inform you that this show is mostly a generic highschool romcom in disguise (without the highschool drama).
It may not feature a highschool setting, but it does not present anything new to the table that other shows haven't already done.
Yes, it is filled with repetitive dirty jokes. Yes, it is filled with repetitive
...
embarassed characters that should not even be embarassed (because, you know, the couple are married. isn't that supposed to mean something?). And yes, the ending is not worth it, so you will just end up disappointed as much as I am.
I mean.. the show doesn't even shy away from letting you know from episode 1 that it would not be that serious nor new nor interesting.
I wouldn't say the show doesn't have its positives, though, as I think the characters are good. I just hate their conversations and the situations they are put in. Rarely would the show give you good scenes where it utilizes the characters to its advantage, and that's what's disappointing about all this. The characters are a big wasted potential. There is one scene in particular where Nasa's parents were very thankful to his wife, Tsukasa, for saving him and it was a really good scene in my opinion. At that moment, I thought to myself, "Why doesn't the show lean more into that path rather than sticking to being a generic romcom?"
If you are a big romcom fanatic, I wouldn't really recommend this. Thers is barely anything here worth spending your time on, unless you don't mind watching one of those "Another romcom for the season".
I have yet to watch season 2, and I actually have a liiiiiiittle bit of hope because of the second OVA titled "Uniform". After watching it, it kinda clicked with me and I realised what the show was trying to do all along. It was trying to gradually increase the level of sexual tension to make you "feel" the scenes where things get spicy. If you are into that stuff, then I might say you struck gold. I mean... when I watched the OVA and got to the scene where Nasa started taking off Tsukasa's stockings I was so fricking on board. Not because I was horny (because I was totally not at the moment. At least not until the scene made me so), but because I realised that season 2 might get out of its "genericness" and start diving deep into the couple's relationship and embrace its core ideas and characters. It is just sad that most of the episodes are mid-tier slice of life; and even when things get spicy, it doesn't feel that rewarding because of that. (PS : no nudes and definitely no sex. Just kisses and hugs, so don't get your hopes up)

PLEASE READ THIS TO THE END!!!
For starters, what the hell was this????
I mean, I know it's a parody show but... having tons of unjustified fan service, cringy OVERRATED internal MC dialogues, and the most boring and random cast you could ever think of... is absolute missed potential here ladies and gentlemen.
But hold up! I said it has tons of crap but is still "missed potential"??? The hell am I talking about????
(Note : I will be talking about both seasons here and not just the first. I'll explain why at the end)
Well, the thing is, this show starts as an actually geniune mystery/supernatural show. The first
...
6 episodes titled, you guessed it, "The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya", sets the stage for something grand, something unique. I would have been OKAY and FORGIVING even it slapped its meta humour on top of the supernatural stuff, but instead, what this show ended up doing is "supernatural stuff slapped on top of cringy slice of life meta humour'
After finishing the first 6 episodes you might think that the sky is the limit, right? right???
Wrooooooooong.
After those episodes, we get nothing but a lame baseball match, an undercooked small island ark, an infamously controversial set of 8 identical episodes, followed by the worst arc of them all, AND FINALLY one boring slow episode that does LITERALLY NOTHING.
Everything you shouldn't be doing in a supernatural parody show was done here.
HOWEVER, I think it deserves a watch for two BIG REASONS. The first being that it is an infamous show that you need to know of. While the second is that... the final episode was not the end. After the release of seaon two, we got something huge. A movie titled "The Disappearance Of Haruhi Suzumiya" which is, hands down, one of the best cinematic experiences ever. A movie that you cannot miss.
To actually FEEL the movie, you NEED to watch the show.
Now how come a bad mid show be so essential? Well, just as I told you, the movie slaps hard that it makes you like the characters and the world that you hated initially.
Now... there is one crutial detail about the airing of this show.
This show was released in NO ORDER. Can you believe that?
Even if you go to wikipedia, you will only find multiple different watch orders which I think are... let's just say the creators themselves had no idea what they were doing.
However, I took it upon myself to come up with the most tolerable watch order that would allow the consumers to make sense of this show.
There you go :
-I- Season 1
01 - The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya Part One
02 - The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya Part Two
03 - The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya Part Three
04 - The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya Part Four
05 - The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya Part Five
06 - The Boredom Of Haruhi Suzumiya
07 - Remote Island Syndrome Part One
08 - Remote Island Syndrome Part Two
09 - Mystérique Sign
10 - The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya Part Six
-II- Season 2
01 - Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody
02 - The Sight Of Haruhi Suzumiya Part One
03 - The Sight Of Haruhi Suzumiya Part Two
04 - The Sight Of Haruhi Suzumiya Part Three
05 - The Sight Of Haruhi Suzumiya Part Four
06 - The Sight Of Haruhi Suzumiya Part Five
07 - Live Alive
08 - Someday in The Rain
09 - The Day Of Sagittarius
10 - Endless Eight I
11 - Endless Eight II
12 - Endless Eight VIII
-III- The Disappearance Of Haruhi Suzumiya
I split them in the form of seasons because it's more fitting. What I mean is that once you reach the tenth episode in this order, you can consider that a either a turning point that you should be prepared for, OR a stopping point if you decide to drop the show. Maybe you'll get it once you watch it.
As for the "Endless Eight" episodes there were EIGHT OF THEM but I believe you only need those three that I listed here. You can find more info about endless eight in youtube because, wo ho ho I DO NOT INTEND ON BRINGING THIS TOPIC IN HERE.
And finally, if you wish, you can just skip "The Sight Of Haruhu" episodes. I only listed them here because they are one of the infamous things about this show.
Anyways, I hope this helps.

I'd rather watch this than some other overrated complicated anime I know.
In fact, I did watch this from start to finish and it's pretty good, honestly.
The only thing hindering this from earning my trademark rating of "9 for that was FIRE" is the unfortunate way this anime is paced.
It keeps starting plotlines and dropping them randomly for the sake of new ones which it also drops once it gets bored of them.
That's fricking sad because most of the plotlines are really fun and they had potential.
Oh well, it's good I guess.
It's a fun watch for any rom com weeb out there. At least if you
...
accepted its pacing and didn't hold it against it.
The characters are the highlight that makes this fun despite its pacing. Let alone the stupid and hillarious events throughout its runtime which gives it a life of its own. This is why it clicked with me and entered the part of my brain where I can never forget it.

This movie is THE way to make an anime movie. Fight me.
Stunning visuals I can never forget.
Awesome, yet admitilly a little lacking, storyline full of mystery and drama.
Peak characterisation of the charaters we know and love (you won't notice it because the writers kinda took the route of "a focus character" and prefered to throw most of the attention on her, but I'd argue she always has been the best character anyways so that's a big W for us).
Everything is polished, makes sense, full of some crazy action scenes, and leads to a satisfying resolution that sets the stage for the next upcoming movie WHICH
...
IS TOTALLY COMING OUT DON'T WORRY.
Rebellion is THE Madoka Magica Experience you wouldn't want to miss.
