List start with couple of words explaining Miss Suzumiya: Crazed, random, flawed, brave, oh … and did I fail to mention awesome?The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is one of , if not the best comedy of anime proportions ever!! It pokes fun at genres in anime so you know it has to be exceptional to pull that off without looking like a *beep*! Let’s give you an overview of the wondrous world of the ASOS brigade :
Plot: Aliens, Time Travelers, time shifters ,ESpers , and the little normal boy that could. All characters in the great anime of the melancholy. A young
...
boy is forced to be in a group, the ASOS brigade with a “bizarre” girl who “HAS NO TIME FOR ORDINARY HUMANS!!!” little does she know she’s surrounded by “humans” who are not all that ordinary , or human for that matter. Also, she fails to notice that she’s isn’t of the ordinary type herself , she’s a time shifter/ shaper which means she can do anything she wishes. And thus the story goes. With a plot like this, where can you go wrong! Although the story has never been seen …EVER , sometimes I feel like they don’t know what to do and it gets overrun by the happenings in school life. A lot of the time I feel like The Melancholy is too short , causing you to look at the back of the box to see if you have just seen the last episode. Sadly , there is no character development *tear* but it looks like I the next season we might see some! Okay, I like the fact that the main character , Haruhi isn’t the preppy, whiny voiced , Mary sue lead that we always see in anime. She’s flawed , bossy , random and gets what she wants … EVEN IF SHE HAS TO PRY IT FROM YOUR DEAD HANDS!! In fact, I wish to be as weird as Haruhi one day! She fleshes out and represents unique schoolgirls all over the world.
Soundtrack and sound/ animation: To quote fall out boy the animation in M.H.S. is oh so intricate. One scene in particular caught my eye. Episode 11 “Live Alive” where Haruhi and her quiet storm of a friend Yuki are in a band. Yuki rips the guitar and you could almost swear that a real person is playing! Every scene is glossy and characters hairstlyles are luscious … just like we expect!!! Even the backgrounds are filled with funny occurrences. The sound is no exception either. The insert songs have and 70’s cop show feel which really adds to the series sense of excitement and adventure. They captured the way things sound so well! During the same episode , Haruhi sings, and it feels intimate , like your actually in the room with her. Speaking of adventures, Aya Hirano’s( excuse the spelling) “It’s an Adventure.Right? Right?” is the perfect theme and fits into the story. Okay , I can’t talk about M.H.S without talking about HARE HARE YUKAI!!! We love the song and the dance, faultlessness in the shape of a sonnet and boogie indeed and is a great reflection of the non- seriousness of the show.
Overall, Haruhi gets a booty shakin , time traveling 9 … Right? RIGHT?!?!
