A LONG TIME AGO
IN A GALAXY FAR, FAR, AWAY.

A YOUNG GIRL NAMED MOONIE DECIDED TO WATCH AN ANIME SERIES CALLED "THE MELANCHOLY OF HARUHI SUZUMIYA."

AND THE REST, IS HISTORY.

It was an obsession for the entire anime watching world. Hell, for me, it still IS an obsession.


It started in March 07. It was well, well into the haruhi popularity bump, but I actually hadn't seen that much for the series. Just a few crappy recolored avatars here and there, until curiosity killed me and I looked it up on wikipedia.
I have vague memories of sitting in front of the dinosaur I called a PC (god, I hated that thing) watching haruhi and nomming ramen like the weeaboo I am... I mean, was. Yeah. Was.

So whyyyy am I giving you guys this blast from the past? BECAUSE I AM BORED. STFU AND READ, BITCH.

And I have a confession.

I've seen the series a good 3-4 times... but... i've never watched it in broadcast order. (Aka going 1, 2, 3, etc)

BUT NOW

THE TIME HAS COME

(the walrus said)


BUT I'M SKIPPING THE ADVENTURES OF MIKURU ASAHINA

(WHAAAAT, THE FANS SCREAM? BUT THAT IS THE BEST EPISODE!)

It's being a total pain to find (it's either in English, good quality, and with all the parts, in Japanese, bad quality, with all the parts, or in Japanese, good quality, with the first part missing. Yeah.)

AND I AM LAZY AND NOT THAT DEVOTED TO ONE OF MY LEAST FAVORITE EPISODES. SORRY, MIKURU.

(and I love the second episode like a fat kid whose life was saved by a heroic pastry in a giant meat truck explosion off the coast of Fiji while Godzilla marched around, killing everyone, loves cake.)

Dude, if Kyon got hit by a car here that would cause SUCH a time paradox.
.... awwwww, darn. Time Pardoxes are fun...
(jk. You know I love you, Kyon. )

And Kyon Teal Dears on and dear god I love his narration

[link]
Enjoy your last moment as a Haruhi Virgin, Kyon.

[link]
Ooooooh... the girl was... gorgeous.
(I'M SORRY EVERYONE I COULDN'T RESIST)

[link]
First Impression:
DAAAAAMN THIS CHICK IS HOT

[link]
First Impression:
... ew, do not want.


(SEE, SEE, IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE the squirrel gets dead IT DOESN'T STAY THAT WAY)

[link]
It's her Dad's (God's) hand, it's Kyon's hand, it's my hand.... people like theorizing about this body part. My imput is that it looks definately masculine. I think it's Haruhi's idea of John Smith.


.... oh man I miss this opening. ;_;

[link]
I love this shot so much. Theres just.. mmmf, something about it.

[link]
See, you always see Haruhi smiling at kyon and him grumping back. it's nice to see him grinning and her like >

[link]
She's one of my favorite background characters, she's so cu-
.... why are you staring at me like that.

[link]
Kyon: So she was the one who did it?

... I love the irony in this series, so very very much.

[link]
Kyon can tell she's wearing a ponytail from ALL THE WAY OVER THERE.

[link]
... I feel a fetish coming on.

[link]
To Kyon's (and our) knowledge, after meeting Kyon, she was never asked out again.
... Sure most people thought she was taken.

[link]
Kyon: I'm not even interested.

.... riiiiiiiiiiight.


Aw, I miss haruhi's crazy hair.

[link]
Kyon is like in a "BOOOOBIESS" state of shock.
... yeah Kyon, you're gonna get pretty used to sudden appearences/

[link]

And then Haruhi is like
"Have I met you before?"
And kyon is like, yeah, but time travel does not work that way.

If you guys haven't noticed this line before (SHAAAME! THIS IS HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT LINES OF SEASON 1. ) then it's referencing Bamboo Leaf Rhaspody- when Haruhi met "John Smith" who she promptly crushed on, and at that crushed HARD on, and thanks to him, became fascinated with aliens and such. She then wanted to find him again, but couldn't remember his face (just the uniform.) Even though he would graduate by the time she got there, she chose North High anyways, just in case. So she meets kyon and she's like ".... is it? No, couldn't be" and then he acts like a completely different dude and she's like "YEAH NO, JOHN SMITH IS SO MUCH COOLER". But asks anyways so YEAH. NOW YOU KNOW.

[link]

NOOOOO THE PONYTAILLLLLL! ;_; rip, haruhi's ponytail.

[link]
"And what's with them asking me out over the phone?!"

Kyon /pulls out notebook ...don't... ask.. over.. pho- w-what? I WASN'T TAKING NOTES FOR MYSELF, I'M JUST... OBSERVING HER. YEAH.

[link]
"I'm not her spokesman, or anything!"

[link]

[link]
AIN'T GETTING RID OF HER THAT EASILY, KYON.

[link]
HE'S STAYING AFTER CLASS TO TALK TO HER. YEAH KYON, "NOT EVEN INTERESTED". MHM.

[link]
Height Difference! <3 (i'm so weird)

[link]
STAIRWELL OF LOVE

[link]
Yuki: ... WHY DID YOU GUYS TAKE SO LONG. I WAS SO ALOOOONEEEE ;_;

[link]
MOEBLOB!

[link]
His face... is amazing. "OH DEAR GOD, WHAT HAVE I DONE."

[link]
YUKI! YUKI HOW YOU DOIN, MA'MAN?

[link]
Meh, okay I guess. I mean, I'm happy I don't have to sit in this effing room all by myself anymore, but that bitch is trail mixxin'.
...
...
... she's crazy. Nuts... trail mix? OH NEVERMIND, NOBODY UNDERSTANDS ME.



By the way, this took about an hour and 45 minutes. To review a 20 something minute episode. Yeah.
