10/10
Haruhi really is something...
10 April 2010
Warning: Spoilers
I remember watching the first anime series without knowing anything about the way it aired. When I saw the first episode (which was the movie made by the SOS Brigade) I wanted do drop the series, thinking "WTF?". Well, fortunately, I didn't and I immediately became a fan.

Even though endless eight annoyed me big time, I really enjoyed seeing Haruhi in the 2009 version.

I couldn't help but wait for this movie. Well, firstly, I have to say that I don't live in Japan, so I watched it on a creepy quality version available on the net. Also, I haven't read the novels. Can't make comparison of stuff, but I don't want to anyway.

I would have rated this 9.5 / 10, because I think nothing can be perfect, but, in my opinion, this was close. I really liked the story and I can't understand how the one who wrote this can have such good ideas. The emotions are touching the viewer, thing that is really important (if not the most) in such a movie.

A short summary of the movie: It's almost Christmas and the SOS Brigade decides to spend this holiday together. Everything was normal until one morning, when Kyon is waking up in a world with Mikuru and Yuki normal people, and Haruhi nowhere to be found. Furthermore, nobody remembers that a Suzumiya Haruhi ever existed in their class.

The characters, like always, are great. It was so very nice to see a shy and "ordinary" version of Yuki, but I'll always remain a big fan of Haruhi.

In terms of animations, from what I could see (I told you, the quality was beyond awful), everything looked fine. The characters' design is really good, like always.

Heh, I don't think I can write any more. If you know and like The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, you should definitely watch and like this. I don't know anything else to say but that I hope more Haruhi movies/series will be released as soon as possible.

So, 10/10. :)
