The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya
After blogging Pokémon (ahahaha!), I figured it would be appropriate to blog this film too. It was just that good, and it’s even slightly difficult to describe why.
Personally I was not particularly impressed with the second season of the series but vividly remember the first one. With that alone, I think that it is perfectly enough to watch this film, but without it, most of it would make absolutely no sense. But how different it is though! The main series was silly, entertaining and most of all, very fast-paced, whereas this film is introspective, goes very deeply into the characters to the point of driving them into despair. I was surprised at how incredibly slow it was – and how well it works with the story.
What else… Oh yeah. It was just that good: High production values, great designs, amazing directing… My favorite scene was actually at the very end, when everything was resolved and it was shown that Haruhi’s character actually changed, because now, she has people she truly cares about. Perhaps I should go back and watch the second season, even though I have originally planned to not watch too many series anymore.
