Genuinely a great film, in spite of how trashy the otaku slop YA novel cliched bullshit that is the source material and anime series are.
Even then, the franchise is still heads and shoulders above what comes out nowadays which shows you how bad things have gotten.
How did they do it?
I have no idea what this is
"The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya"
One of a million cartoons set in high school spun off from a TV show based on a "light novel" aimed at middle school kids.
I still look back on the TV series fondly, the rainy day episode was very cozy
>the rainy day episode was very cozy
Agree, this was my personal favorite as well. This show was comfy as fuck at times, though I do remember having bittersweet feelings about it because the idea of being in a club and having whimsical interactions with classmates felt like a completely unachievable thing to a loser like me at the time
That was an anime original that the studio brought the LN author on to write
>Genuinely a great film, in spite of how trashy the otaku slop YA novel cliched bullshit that is the source material and anime series are.
Like how is it any diffent?
genuinely a tranny. go back >>>/a/
/a/ doesn’t even talk about Haruhi anymore
that is blatantly untrue
Season 3 announcement coming soon, haruhichads. Trust the plan

I saw your post in another thread so I'm going to say you're a retarded obsessed homosexual
I used to watch the dubbed every Christmas. I like it but I don't think someone who's not already into anime would.
It's the atmosphere that makes it for me. You will not find any YA property with that specific feeling anymore. The show was the one that did it the best and the movie refined it even further. There will never be something like this again.
It's like a last goodbye to 00's anime era
This show was huge why didn’t they keep pumping it out? Did they get caught up to source?
>Did they get caught up to source?
No, I'm not sure why it was never renewed for a s3 (yet). I know Endless Eight made a lot of people angry, but I figured the movie would have made up for that
>I know Endless Eight made a lot of people angry
Endless Eight was hilarious and I watched every episode. If I know the Japanese, then each episode was the VAs saying the same lines, so you're watching to see really minor differences like camera angles and lines sounding different. Endless Eight is like watching a Japanese swordsmith craft a sword. Plebs got filtered by it.
I really enjoyed it, but I knew about it before I watched. I can understand finding it infuriating if you were seeing it live over the course of 8 weeks
I watched it live. It was so frustrating having to wait for the next week and realizing it was the "same" episode again, specially because you wouldn't have a clue about when it was actually going to stop.
I just think the idea is really unique and meta. If you think about it, Endless Eight is like a director filming a scene eight times and instead of us seeing the best take, we're seeing all eight.
and I think it exposes the lack of self-awareness in the average person. Are our days not the same? I think most people live the same day over and over, and so why does a repeating episode bother them.
The concept is good, but it really should have only been 4 or 5 times
>endless eight
>4 or 5 times
yeah that'd make a lot of fucking sense
is it called that in the LN?
The more time passes, the more I appreciate endless eight as a narrative masterpiece.
Name any other media that immerses you this much into a time loop, that makes you so desperate for a resolution, that has you hoping and despairing week after week until giving you a conclusion with limitless catharsis. You can’t.
>Name any other media that immerses you this much into a time loop
That's why I say that only the Japanese would dare do it: To make you experience the entire loop instead of some fast forward bullshit, which is what every other show does. Other shows are like one episode where the day repeats and Haruhi shows the entire day eight times. Absolutely fearless.
I wonder how the LN does it
Maybe Endless Eight is like one book and each day is a different chapter, so you're playing spot the difference until Kyon realises what's happening. That's my guess.
The LN is literally only the last loop. Every episode but the last is anime original.
Makes what Kyoani did even more kino
It’s just like two chapters or something
Nowadays most people watch media entirely consumptively. When they buy a vidya, it is to beat it and move on to next vidya or get excited for next vidya. The watch a show to see plot resolutions. Endless Eight is the antithesis of that kind of consumptiveness.
The studio animating it got into a conflict with Kadokawa, the company who owns the IP, and so the studio wanted to instead focus on their own IPs instead of being beholden to other companies.
sex with Asahina
the OST lives rent free in my head
Haruhi is THE otaku masterpiece of the 2000s
I came across this a while ago and got such a nostalgia blast I rewatched everything
for me it is the nagato vs asakura music. it's literally techno clashing with a cello
I forgot how good the ost for this show is
more anime should use classical music for the ost
lotgh is another good show that is entirely classical music and i think evangelion has some classical pieces it uses well
Girl who leapt through time makes some good use of the Goldberg variation.
Learned about Gymnopedie from Haruhi, now I always notice it when I hear it somewhere (which is surprisingly often, there's even some 90s pop song that samples it which plays at my grocery store, what the fuck)
Why does she sit like that?
Kingyo skui!

I was being hyperbolic for replies, I actually think the TV series is pretty solid. Light novel adaptations used to be good. Spice and Wolf, Monogatari (at least had the good SHAFT/Shinbo aesthetics if you hate the other aspects), Slayers, Baccano, Full Metal Panic, etc.
We didn't know how good we had it in the 2000s. Otaku-focused anime had some integrity, whimsy, and soul despite the tropes and pandering.
>We didn't know how good we had it in the 2000s.
I generally agree (for a lot of reasons), but Haruhi was recognized as a great at the time. It's not exactly obscure, but it's good enough that I'm surprised it's not more "mainstream"
most of the 2000s mainstay essentials have fallen with time in favor of anime from the 2010s/2020s. stuff like gurren lagann, death note and azumanga are liked by zoomers, but the other classics have fallen off entirely for the most part despite not being obscure.
Zoomers like Azumanga?
Surprisingly.
azumanga has renewed interest among gen z because "OH MY GAH" is a big meme for them on social media now. osaka is a popular character amongst them and is the focus of lots of memes.
t. 22 y/o with a younger brother who sends me this stuff everyday
Streaming websites probably have a lot to do with the favor of some classics, like NGE skyrocketing in popularity
Everyone recognized it right away as great but we were also accustomed to regularly getting kino so the era was unappreciated. We only realize how good we had thing now that the kino spout has dried up across all forms of media.
It's sad, we didn't realize that we were experiencing the true golden age of anime. 2000s to 2013 I'd say
Always makes me laugh when zoomers post shit like this. The golden age of anime was before you were born, in the 80s. DYRL is the best animated movie ever made, and anyone who says otherwise is an absolute retard.
As someone who has watched anime seasonally for the past 20 years, there has been no significant decline, you just grew up and the tropes that were exciting and new to you when you started watching are now getting old.
>Macrossfag
yikes
>watched anime seasonally for the past 20 year
Why?
Because I enjoy it?
I tried watching seasonal anime but 90% of them suck.
You know you can just drop the shows you don't find interesting, right?
most anime is gonna suck regardless of being new or old, like watching normal tv shows
i usually wait for a consensus to form around newer stuff to filter out the bad and avoid poorly rated older works
but then you miss the opportunity to shitpost about them on /a/
And 95% of them are isekai
I posted that and I'm 32, Mr. Brain Rot Boomer
You're still mentally a zoomer if you insist that what you watched as a teenager was the best of times.
You are mentally retarded if you cant see that the quality of anime has dropped off a deep dark cliff after the early 2010s
>Haruhi Susumiya
I don't get it.
I watched this because /a/ told me to like 15 years ago. It was great but then anime became mainstream and all the 00s shows were forgotten.
Do you need to watch both seasons before the movie?
no it would make more sense though
Wasn't the second season just one episode repeated like Groundhog Day?
Half of it is.
Each episode is directed slightly differently with minor details changed
haruhi is a bitch
>I like the movie. But just so you know I think the entire medium is trashy and a bit creepy, haha. People who really get into these sort of things are so lame.
Ironic weebs. Many such cases.
Thanks Yuki
haruhi is embarassing slop for media illiterate weeb homosexuals. it's like something a middle schooler would write. people (retards) will tell you it's genius because it's 'meta' (they don't know what this actually means) and that jumbling the episode order and boring your audience on purpose are genius narrative flourishes. the author somehow thinks that if you include as many cliches as humanely possible it'll loop back around and become original, but really, it's just an incredibly trashy piece of derivative garbage that takes itself incredibly seriously.
if you're over the age of 14 and still like this vomit then you are genuinely worthless as a human being and shouldn't be allowed an opinion on anything.
>it's just an incredibly trashy piece of derivative garbage that takes itself incredibly seriously.
this is exactly why it is good thoughever
it plays with tropes in fun ways without trying to be gay post-modern subversive shit like evangelion where it tries to show how cringe anime writing can be by including said cringe writing and people call it genius
