Watching the movie always hurts because it’s so good and acts as a reminder that we’ll likely never see any more of the haruhi stories animated.
True, but it doesn’t hurt to dream lmao
Yoh still have a chance new LN and awesome scale figure too bad it was delay
як справи?
why wouldn't they make any more of the light novels into more seasons/sequel series?
@@thakatspajamazThe Reddit discussions will have all the details but the studio ultimately didn’t see the show as profitable after Endless Eight broke the fanbase. We’re lucky we got Disappearance of Haruhi AND the spinoff series of Disappearance of Nagato.
"I get the feeling this is Haruhi's fault."
Isn't it ALWAYS Haruhi's fault?
Also, I loved the Endless Eight. It truly drives home Haruhi's insanity, childishness, and arrogance... and it's great. I think a big part of that love is KyoAni's sheer LOVE shining through... you don't remake the same episode several different times if you didn't love something.
The movie kicked me. Hard. I grew up feeling worthless... That single moment where the realization hits Kyon. It hit me really, really hard.
I've definitely grown to appreciate endless 8 a lot more since this video was made, and yeah, the movie hits hard.
I really like the scene where Koizumi starts talking about "bloody battles" and "politics" that are happening behind the scenes. I honestly 100% believe him, and his typical "cheer" really hits different when you consider that he may merely be in a constant performance mode for Haruhi. I personally wouldn't put that scene of his in the same category as Nagato's 3 minute monologue to Kyon.
Oh, I love koizumi. But as a first time viewer with no context, I didn’t find much reason to care about the scene. Everything clicks when you go back taking into account the kind of dude he is. I also think it’s super interesting that koizumi tends to only tell the truth when talking about haruhi to kyon, he just leaves a bunch of stuff out. On the other hand he’s willing to lie through his teeth about everything else
I wanted to see the "bloody battles" and "politics" he was talking about and implying during that scene so bad. Especially since he was talking about them while pretty much just chilling on a small town bridge with Kyon, but made it sound so sinister and mysterious.
The Reupload of Haruhi Suzumiya
If you were wondering, The Dissappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya currently sits at the third longest animated movie of all time. Behind Final Yamato, and In this corner of the world.
Actually want to add that the only reason the other two pass it in length is because they have extended editions.
At the films' original lengths, they are not as long as the Dissappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya.
With these facts in mind, I personally consider Haruhi the longest Animated film of all time, because it didn't even need an extended edition to make it to 3rd place.
Ah, so the top two cheated. That’s nice to know
As of 2022, The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya is the longest animated movie that does not feauture an alternate cut or extended version. Ignoring that condition makes it the third longest animated movie of all time, being beaten by the 70mm film of "Final Yamato" in second place and the 2019 extended version of "In This Corner Of The World" in first place.
I loved Haruhi Suzumiya. Maybe my favorite anime of all time.
It’s grown tremendously on me since I made this video. I’d put it at a strong number 2
I love the Endless 8 it's one of my favorite arcs. The twist makes it worth it and it was perfectly written. They built it up in all the episodes and it was so obvious in retrospect. They probably should have done 5 or 4 loops instead of 8 but I'm happy with what we got. It seems like you missed the point. It wasn't about the summer homework. It was just an excuse to spend time with them because she loves them.
I guess it would have been received much better if during the original run they had dropped the whole Endless Eight within one day (as some kind of Haruhi marathon or something)
i still got "kyon kyon denwa" stuck in my head
Broadcast order is honestly more fun to watch because episodes that happen later chronologically foreshadow events that happen before then.
For example, the very first episode (the shitty film they make later in the year) has Yuki cast as an alien, Mikuru as a time traveler, and Koizumi as an esper (a person with psychic powers btw). It’s a dumb, fun episode that introduced us to the cast and the setting, even if it was hard to follow for most of the episode. Four episodes later when the SOS Brigade is first formed, we get confirmation in real life that Yuki is an alien, Mikuru is a time traveler, and Koizumi is an esper, and that Haruhi is some sort of god that needs to be watched over.
There are other examples like this like Haruhi’s off-hand comment about ponytails in the baseball episode, Yuki’s glasses and Asakura disappearing at some point, and Haruhi trying out for every club and being awesome at it.
I get why people don’t like broadcast order, but it’s the little details like that that make this such a fun story to watch.
I totally get where you're coming from, and viewing the show like this on a repeat watch through sounds like a good time. For a first viewing, however, I feel like I personally was confused enough watching chronologically. I started in the broadcast order but halfway through the first episode I switched over to chronological because I just wanted the show to make sense.
@@Totaraum For sure, I watched it chronologically first because I didn't even know the broadcast order existed until after. To literally anyone who doesn't know better, broadcast order looks like a mess, but it's definitely a lot more fun on a rewatch since you can pick out the details that lead up to the finale.
Kyoto Animation needs to seriously bring back The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. And Lucky Star. New Animes may be good. But they will never be better than great Anime and Manga series like these ones. I miss this series so much.
man you are such an underappreciated content creator
I’m happy to hear you say that, thank you!
The idea of totaraum having not yet watched Clannad truly boggles the mind.
This is a time capsule for sure
Oh my god.... You basically incapsulated my thoughts and feelings of rewatching haruhi (after a 5 year break from anime) 10 years since I first watched it (I was 7)... So many anime titles I've watched, yet the one that actually struck a chord was haruhi. And while the anime itself was all fun and games - the movie is the one that lingered. Perhaps I was too young to understand Kyon's, Yuki's, Haruhi's and everybody else's arcs and motives then, even am too young now, but now I understand that all the issues the main cast goes through in the anime and the movie have been following me throughout my adolescence. And you put them all to words so perfectly. Perhaps that is the sole reason this anime has been following me my whole life. And watching this video made me extremely emotional, perhaps for nostalgia, but perhaps because of my new-found understanding and appreciation for the anime. I wish this anime demanded a little less commitment from the viewer, so it would be very recommendable to my friends who just got into anime. Although, the commitment is a whole experience that makes you enjoy the movie, cherry on top, much much more. But new anime viewers, at least in my experience, are not ready to commit. And it is so unfortunate that this anime faded into oblivion. In the early 2010s, you mentioned haruhi - everybody knew it to some extent. Anime was way more niche. With anime becoming more popular and attracting numerous new viewers, it is extremely rare to find a person who knows haruhi. I hope that with the new novel volume, something special awaits and the anime will have the resurgence it deserves. And you, dear youtuber, deserve way more appreciation! I didn't expect this video to have this little views... You articulate your thoughts very well and the editing and pacing of the video is very pleasing to watch! Thank you, again. This was a truly enjoyable video.
It must've been cool to grow up with the series and understand more about it as you got older. I think Haruhi is a lot more popular than you think, as I haven't run into anyone in the community who hasn't at least heard of it (could be because I only really talk to kyoani fans). Also thank you for the kind words! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video
I understand man, I love Haruhi too!
16:35 I think it's worth mentioning the deliberate cues that Haruhi has grown because of her reconciliation with Kyon and leading up to the Arts Festival performance.
During the rest of the filming, Haruhi begins regularly complementing everyone after each scene finishes filming. This kind of thing happened exactly zero times during filming that occurred before the big argument.
The big one, however, is when she orders Kyon to pull an all-nighter. This order would be typical Haruhi, until she follows up by stating she'll stay with him to see it through together.
And of course, the final bit is her performance with the band, and learning the reason she was up there.
It's a growth sequence with multiple beats.
I like your video by the way.
True, and those cues are very underplayed which is nice. I really like how subtle this show can be. I knew about the all nighter thing but I never caught those compliments
I'm so glad this is back
I’m glad to hear it was missed!
@@Totaraum i just saw it in the order So meaning endless ain't was not like the first episode of the season like it would be if I was going in my those broadcast order thing
The way you went about the ending was great and im really glad I watched this video. ngl Some really heavy introspection hit. Well done!!!
I must say that the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya is the most interesting show I've ever seen. not the best, but very intriguing.
Definitely. It’s so out there that you can’t help but let it grab your attention
This video is what brought me to your channel and meet such a wonderful community. More importantly I meet Totaraum a very good creator and friend who I meet because of this video. Not to also miss the fact that this is one of those shows that changed my whole view over anime in general. I'm very happy that it's back. And hopefully one day Haruhi as well.
Just got through this myself!
Thanks for the trip load. Again I am amazed by the quality of content. I’m hyped for your next upload!!
Always glad to hear it, thank you!
The last few minutes were kino even if I wasn't fully behind some of the points you made and grievances you had. I went into this anime completely blind many years ago and although Endless Eight nearly made me quit on first watch with time and many full and partial rewatches later I think its gotta be my favourite anime and I have a developed a certain fondness for the Endless Eight that the me that watched it all those years ago couldn't even fathom.
Great video! This was my second video I’ve seen in your channel and I still love it very much! Keep up the good work.👍
Thank you! I’ll make sure I do
Man you playing that dango song in the beginning got me near tears
love your answer to the question
great vid
Thank you!
Une vidéo exceptionnelle, je comprend pas que tu n'ai pas plus d'abonnée c'est n'importe quoi ! Tu mérite plus !! Ta vidéo est super bien travaillé et ma fait voir une vision que je n'avais jamais vu de mon show préférer !! Merci ♥
Merci! Je suis heureux que vous ayez aimé
Thank god this is back, I love this video
I’m happy to hear that!
Wonderful Review! I loved it!
Thank you!
Great video man , i really love haruhi definitely my all time fav anime
I'm glad you liked it! Haruhi is up there for me as well, I've only grown to like it more since I made this video
YUS!
So glad this video is back up! Glad to be watching it again.
Oh, and thanks for replying to me on Reddit. 😉
No problem, I’m glad you’re happy to see this back up!
The OST is fucking amazing. Idk if it's just me but this show gives out this vibe and energy. That I can't describe. Is like I lived this before or something. Sounds kind cringe yes I know. And yes I love the whole sci-fi talk and and I watch all endless 8 so sue me. This is literally the only show I weeb out when I can. Lmao
The soundtrack is awesome. It’s getting to the point for me where it’s nostalgic now which is pretty wild. There’s no problem with you enjoying the things I criticized too, in fact if anything as time has gone on I think I’d agree with you now lmao
ruclips.net/video/dykGM5ddHSA/видео.html
If you like the OST and also classical music you'll love this, it's a one hour concert that elevated my appreciation of Satoru Kosaki's work to another level. I too love the science talk, in fact, I get mad at other anime that use it but just in a half assed way (eg. bunny girl senpai, imo). Some just throw loosely related to the story concepts at the audience in what I see as an attempt to sound smart. While reading the novels it's fun to take note of what the author has been interested in lately. As for the last book, dna computing genuinely surprised me. It sounds so fake but is actually real and pretty cool as well. Totaraum different perspective showed me that a good piece of media can be loved by two different persons for totally different reasons.
Haruhi is a masterpiece! I watched it a couple of years after its zenith, and yet, I am grateful and feel lucky that I got to experience and navigate this roller coaster of a show.
20:22 disappearance is the longest animated film of all time
I didn’t know that, but it’s not surprising. It’s definitely my favorite movie of all time. The plot is amazing, the animation and visuals are basically flawless and man it was good.
@@animetoonshd3889 I agree, the film was incredible, that knife scene was peak animation
So when Disappearance released it was the second longest animated film at 162 minutes. Kyoto Animation purposefully kept the film 1 minute shorter than the longest animated film, Final Yamato, out of respect, as that film had held the record since 1983. Sadly, Final Yamato lost the record to In This Corner of the World in 2019 which is 168 minutes long.
beautiful video. i loved loved loved haruhi back in the mid to late 2000s but haven’t engaged with it in a long time. this video almost moved me to tears! makes me want to watch the show again.
Thank you! I hope you rewatch sometime soon, you miss so much your first time through
Watching this video right after watching your endless 8 and best haruhi quotes videos is very entertaining
A lot has changed lol
This is gold this is my favorite anime of all time
Glad to hear it!
I just finished all of your haruhi related videos and the way you sum it up is just perfect. Especially this one. Taking kyons internal fight and reworking it into your own was so very clever.
I find myself relating to kyon allot. Now I just wish I could find someone as eccentric as haruhi lol.
i remember watching this back in the days. nagato's character song still gives me mad nostalgia.
Ironically, the part of the series I rewatch the most is Endless Eight. Not joking. There is something captivating about that arc-the summer fun, the despair of escaping that repetitive loop… how strange we are as beings to be horrified of repeating fun over and over across centuries… picking out the subtle animation and voice acting difference between episodes, feeling a tiny bit what the characters endured. It is understandable that most dismiss it as pretentiously artsy. Yes, it is what killed the show’s popularity. But it was special in ways I still haven’t figured out how to express.
i love how it felt the way i experienced the endless 8... for me a young kid watching anime on fricking youtube i was like "wait, did i already see this one?" and something like "damm youtube naming, the episode 6 is mixed with 8, something is wrong here" and yeah, i did not suffer like the ones watchingit weekly but i feel what they wanted to do this way.
Wow what a ride! I went into this series with middling expectations at best only to be completely blown away by this anime series. I just finished up my first viewing of the Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya after binging both seasons of the series. What an epic way to cap off such an amazing and fun ride. These characters really showed some actual growth by the end of it all. I have to admit it was the endless 8 arc that truly solidified Haruhi Suzumiya as a top notch classic in my mind. This show is better than it has any right to be and all I want now is that elusive season 3 that will probably never happen.
ay its back thats great
Endless Eight is a masterpiece for the fact that it makes us go insane
As much as I enjoyed the emotional ride that the climatic choice in Disappearance, I can’t help also seeing that scene through the practical eyes as a father, husband and soldier. Haruhi was the most dangerous entity in the universe. She was worse than a walking nuclear bomb, and was a hormonally, borderline sociopathic teenage girl at that. Removing her powers and leaving them removed is what any sane person would have done, no matter what the music swept us towards. We could only enjoy and approve Kyon’s choice because we don’t have to live with the consequences.
I saw Haruhi when it originally aired. Personally I loved the endless eight. Everybody knows how time loop episodes work. They have to figure out how to escape the time loop by doing something important, something big. So you exspect them to try different stuff until they finally escape the time loop. With Yuki being aware of every iteration, they can easily ask her what they've already tried and failed to leave the time loop and the story wrights itself. This never happens. I and my friends sat there every week waiting for someone to get the smarts to do something about their situation. Everything for this is set up. They are aware of the time loop, they discuss it, Yuki is not affected of memoryloss. Go ahead. Try something, anything - ask Yuki sensible questions - for that matter Yuki tell them about the time loop on day one or whatever. We had like twenty version of how the events could onfold and in the end nothing happened. Nah, they just have to do homework. Nothing big or important, just homework. Two months of built up and increasing tension, each episode just different enough to exspect something to happen that never does and the big resolution is homework. This was awesome. Don't get me wrong we were extremely pissed and disapointed but after a week had past all we could do is laugh, because it's so surreal and funny.
And to me that's the essence of Haruhi. It's not predominately comedy or even satire - it's trolling. Don't trust me? In the span of like two episodes we get an alien, a timetraveller, and an esper - all of these should have immense plot relavence. They don't, they're there because Haruhi likes it that way - but she'll never figure that out, though we'll tease it constantly. Also all of them have different theories on what Haruhi is and suggest conflicting motivations for the other members, and this immense plot threat is never resolved or even followed up on. More examples of trolling? A murder mistery without a murder. The broadcast order. A baseball game with the world at stakes. Literally any plotline. And after Haruhi ends we get a final episode with the Wonderful Disappearence movie. And you know somebody must have asked - What if he'd stayed in that world? Well, here you are the Disappearence of Yuki-chan - way better than a third season, ain't it? And what starts out as a boring romcom, then develops into an arc where Yuki seemingly has become her old self again and you can only wonder about the implications, does this connect to the other show? No, it's pretty much undone immediately and now where back to the boring romcom and there's no real climax in the end. Also Yuki confessed her love, but it wasn't even really her, and she doesn't remember, so they never even get together - in a romcom! But wait there must be some resolution, please. Please have a point? Well ok, here you go have a final OVA. This will probably solve at least some dangling plot threats yes?
Hell no, It's endless eight, but this time without the time loop. Endless eight, Again! The point that Yuki-Chan built up to was Endless Eight again! F****!!!!
If this isn't trolling I don't know what is. And that's why Haruhi is awesome!
This video made me remember why I love Haruhi
Happy to hear that!
Pretty good review, but i strongly disagree with a lot of stuff. For example: how could you not enjoy sci-fi explanation in this show? I think this part is masterpiece, and adds whole another layer to the anime.
I definitely came around to the sci-fi aspects of the show at the end of it and even more so during rewatches. My issue came from being a first timer and sitting through 3 minute monologues about evolution or god or what have you without a clue as to how it relates to the overarching narrative. Nowadays I can watch these scenes and appreciate them, but my first time through they were a chore to sit through
I've been rewatching the show and the movie and by my pfp you can tell it's my favorite. Something hit me that made this franchise ascend to God tier for me
1. The show serves the narrative of a sci fi, slice of life club show, and sardonic self aware comedy all at once with every line and situation
2. If kyon is a viewer character parallel, haruhi is a director character parallel in a literal and figurative sense. The relationship between kyon and haruhi explores the relation ship between an omnipotent show runner director and the viewers who love the show and give their response to it.
There's too many little things that point towards this. Haruhi even says " I'm the director " during an episode. It could be said that our response to a piece of media will affect the mood of a show director and by extension the rest of a show. I might sound like a crackhead here but that's what I see with this show and it's the most mind blowing meta piece of media ever there are so many layers to it. Brilliant franchise!
The meta aspect of haruhi is by far my favorite out of any piece of media. To add to your theory, Haruhi is even listed as the "ultra director" in the credits for the show lol. Also I didn't know Ishihara worked on Hyouka, I thought it was directed by Takemoto, who also directed Disappearance
@Totaraum you are correct lmao my bad
So when Disappearance released it was the second longest animated film at 162 minutes. Kyoto Animation purposefully kept the film 1 minute shorter than the longest animated film, Final Yamato, out of respect, as that film had held the record since 1983. Sadly, Final Yamato lost the record to In This Corner of the World in 2019 which is 168 minutes long.
Very interesting! I didn’t know they let the record go out of respect, that’s pretty cool
8:50 on characters lecturing
It's the issue of original material being a light novel. In manga they rarely can afford long monologues, while light novels basically consist of them.
Yeah, I own all the haruhi novels now and reading through them I can see where it comes from. It's like 40x as long as in the show lol. But that's just books I guess
@@Totaraum at least they are easy to read. I was surprised with how fast I got through the first novel.
@@vincentpresscod7531 definitely, smooth sailing the whole way through
This video was the last push that got me to try Haruhi. Only four episodes in so far (2009 order), but it's nevertheless been quite an enjoyable start. I agree with your takes to the extent that I can at this point. Already I sense that I'm hooked on Haruhi in a way I haven't felt for an anime in probably at least a year, at least not in the "I _need_ to watch at least one episode per day" sense.
The anime I've watched over the past year has either been "watch an episode thrice a month" (Yuyushiki, Servant x Service, etc.), or "thrice a week but only with my mom" (Joshiraku, Kinmoza, etc.), or "save this for when I'm having an existential crisis at 3:00 AM and really just need to chill" (ARIA). Never anything that I've been super excited to watch each and every day, so Haruhi is pretty refreshing.
That’s awesome! I’m glad you’re enjoying it and that my video persuaded you to give it a watch
the diappearance of haruhi suzumiya is the third longest animated movie of all time, only being beaten by two extended versions of other movies, but if we only count teathrical features and not extended versions then it is the longest animated movie of all time
Sounds like the other two cheated and Haruhi wins to me
to see this after your endless eight video is very funny
I know, right? Things change
@@Totaraum Glad you’ve seen the light, buddy. That’s character development
It's strange, I love it when a writer comes out with science fiction novels inside him, and one of the problems with his work is not delving deeper into these things more. But I hate that a heretic changes a humanitarian principle from proof of the existence of a Creator beyond our ability to human centrality
10:00 I remember myself rewinding a couple of times in the episodes with stuff like this as I was worried I was missing things that would be important down the line.
It also took until you pointed it out that Koizumi's dub voice actor was the same person as Vash the Stampede's voice actor. Maybe that's because there was almost a year difference from when I watched Haruhi and Trigun though.
I also watched six or so episodes of endless eight, and skipped through the last two. It got me very frustrated at Kyon, I'll give them that.
Honestly, Haruhi is the thinking man's favorite anime. To me, it will ALWAYS encapsulate what made that period, and perhaps all of anime, so utterly special to me. For all the seasonal junk and overhyped trash that comes around every few months, Haruhi is one of those shows that really stands the test of time, and somehow only gets better the longer I spend with it. The aesthetics, the story, the characters, and everything that comes with it beat most anything coming out today or in the past few years.
Most (all?) official streaming services show the series in chronological order. I find this insane is because episodes of season 2 are mixed in with season 1. They aired several years apart, so season 1 had to stand on its own, but experiencing it that way is difficult. In chronological order, the endless 8 is split across the 2 seasons. Absolute madness.
Maybe I give too much deference to airing order, esp having not watched it through that way yet (though I intend to shortly). Since watching Kara no Kyoukai (a series that was produced and presented out of order with obvious intent), I've decided to assume the author chose nonlinear order on purpose, and I'm willing to trust that they didn't do so just to screw with me. I'm curious to see what they had to say.
Haruhi is the kind of show that will screw with you just because lmao, but that’s what gives it part of its charm. I’m sure they had a reason for doing what they did given how meticulous kyoani is, but to this day I have yet to understand the reasoning behind the broadcast order
You are right, info dump is boring.
I want to watch this video, but Dango Kaizoku playing in the background got me dissociating
For some reason Endless eight was the arc I was most intrigued. Aside from the movie of course.
It definitely has the most interesting premise of the bunch, but I think the execution could’ve been better
11:02 Average CAS match in War Thunder
I love this show id say the sci-fi elements didnt bother me as much but it did give me a headache after reading all those subs
I definitely warmed up to the sci-fi stuff during rewatches, but in the beginning it was a bit of a chore to sit through
may i ask what the song is at 13:18 of this video? i havent found it anywhere on the internet, sorry for the trouble.
It’s called “some day in the rain” from the ost for the show
I TOTALLY disagree with your take about Adventures of Mikururu-chan not being fit as a first episode, I think it's actually the perfect first episode. the audience gets introduced to the idea that Yuki, Mikuru, and Koizumi could be associated with the types of extraordinary figures they play as in the movie, and so when Yuki reveals herself as an alien to Kyon, it kind of hits a lot more. been watching this with two people lately and the person who I watched broadcast order with was left a lot more in the dark which made plot points a lot more surprising and interesting, and I think the first episode is due some credit for that!
well its time to do My Journey Through Meloncoly of haruhichan and The Disappearance of Nagato Yukichan
Maybe some day!
when i see the dis on my boi Nichijou.
You where suppose to be the choosen one (Likes every other anime tahts awesome)
You where supposed to defeat them not join them.
still good video tho. i remember my first watch through haruhi and it was unforgetable considering i have a rather uniqe story involving the endless 8
Lmao I have brought peace, freedom, justice and security to my new empire. By the way I’d like to hear your story if you’re willing to tell it
@@Totaraum So, It was a rather rainy sick day in the middle of June 2020.
I was watching through the entire series in one sitting as much as possible *In sort of chronological order, I didnt have funi at the time and could only watch it on youtube*
I didnt know anything besides the fact the movie was amazing. So i powered through.
I then hit the first Episode of endless 8. I watched it. Now This may seem weird but to truly understand my experience i have to explain everything that was happening that day to give the full experience.
As I was watching, I was at first watching in my room on my phone. I was sitting in my office chair, Around the pool scene I had a bad stomache ache and used the restroom. During the cecada/Firework scene i headed out towards my dining room. In which my mother would also enter the room while calling her mother.
Eventually near the end of the episode i went back to my room while grinding out a game on my 3ds.
One last bit of information, It was incredibly bard to tell exactly what day it was due to how sick i was, Even though this all only happened in one day.
So i que the next episode, Im in my room, this time on my bed and i notice, The episode is both the same yet different, But i didnt care and kept watching.
I feel a bad stomach achr, Restroom, then i head to the dining room but this time im sitting in a different chair. My mother already in the dining room on a call, but talking and saying reletivly the same things as last time but a bit different.
Then near the end i return to my room back on office chair, Grinding out the same mission on my 3ds game.
This repeated throughout every single episode of endless eight, At the same points in the episode, Each time irl being slightly different but ultimatly the same.
It was a very strange viewing experience, and yes i watched all 8 episodes back to back to back. I still remember laying down afterwards making sure it really was all in the same day.
@@chJohnJobs that’s wild. I’m sorry to hear you had 8 stomach aches in a row, maybe your body just unconsciously got into a routine?
@@Totaraum whatever it was, Was my strangest viewing experiences.
Still had then later but ngl, Oddly made the endless 8 both better and worse in everyway XD
i don't fully vibe with the watch order thing. like, both orders aren't accurate to the light novels anyway. both the movie and the live alive are in the sixth novel, 4 books after the sigh arc. so technicially either of the regular watch orders aren't really how they were meant to be viewed.
i think both have their pros. the pros to chronological are obvious, but i love some stuff about the original order. not all of it makes sense to me (what is added by interrupting remote island syndrome with a random episode?), but i really loved getting to the baseball episode and realizing that the movie was actually a microcosm of the the story of the show. cool way to balance the big 6 part first book and the more slice of life chapters.
I watched the broadcast order for the first time a few months ago and it actually flows really well. I've completely converted lol
@@Totaraum let's goooo 🤝
This reminds me that I should probably get around to finishing Haruhi. It's a good show, but the main thing that prevented me from enjoying the show was Haruhi herself. Her character is so insufferable that I could only watch a few eps at a time. If it weren't for the other characters I probably would have just completely dropped the show.
She may be a poo head, but haruhi is what kept the show interesting for me
@@Totaraum For me, it was the other characters that kept the show interesting and somewhat watchable. Any time Haruhi appeared, i had to fight the urge to sigh.
@@Totaraum I stopped watching a few months ago during the cultural festival film arc. I might get back into it since there's only a few more eps and then the movie.
@@thecoolestfaisal the movie is fantastic so I recommend continuing
@@Totaraum yh I'll continue once I've finished watching little busters
i hear you mention Kanon, did you ever make a video for it?
Nah I haven’t, I ended up scrapping a script I was working on for it because it just wasn’t doing it for me
@@Totaraum only parts i think are worth mentioning are makoto's story and the ending; but yeah clannad is the same but better. and your coverage of clannad is really good.
Actually, I would've preferred the normal world. Fuck the fun. Fun doesn't matter if that can kill you, or if it gives you that tremendous amount of frustration. I ove Sasaki and her brigade as a charachthers. Even if Kyouko Tachibana seems like a lighter version of Mikuru, Fujiwara is antipathetic, unless you discover his true reason for time traveling, and Kuyou is fascinating and misterious.
I don´t mind losing them, if that means that world will be safe, I don´t mind if Nagato can be tranquil, or vulnrable, and Happy. I don´t mind if Mikuru can live her life the way she wants.
Sorry if I'm enoghly strange to choose Safety over fun and excitement
I feel like the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya is what happens when an autistic girl gets latent super powers in a world before autism was embraced.
Okay all joking aside, this show is certainly … a time 🤪
0:54 I think I missed something. Is your name the USA and is your brother’s name Britain?
After watching the first episode of the anime I thought "WTF is this? This is so random? Why does this episode look so trashy? How is this gonna continue?"
It’s a weird one for sure, but stick with it and you might just find a new favorite like I did
@@Totaraum Rn I'm almost done with the first season (just 2 episodes left). The rest after the first episode made pretty much more sense, got me hooked and also kinda explained episode 1. It's probably not gonna be my favorite anime but I'll be respecting it and see it as a great show. Also even after watching the first episode, it was pretty clear that I would continue it, because I never drop an anime even if I hate it for example School Days. Even though I considered it horrible I've watched until the end (I still don't like School Days, since it's just 11 episodes of pain and another bad 12th episode). The only thing I do is pausing animes like I did with Naruto Shippuden, although I want to watch it until the end.
@@_Flemink sorry you had to experience school days lmao. I’m glad that you’re sticking with it and enjoying it! Don’t forget to watch the movie when you’re done, it’s the best thing in the franchise by a long shot. Also I totally get pausing monsters like Naruto with hundreds of episodes
@@Totaraum It's ok. I've seen enough horrible things in my life, so I'm fine after these 11 episodes of torture named School Days. I've also finished the first season now, so how am I supposed to continue now? What comes first season 2 or the movie, because where I watch it, the 2 season is listed first and it confuses me little, because in my language (I'm german btw) there is no dub for season 2 only for season 1 and the movie. So that confuses me.
@@_Flemink season 2 comes first, then the movie
I have it in my channel
I hope you watched the movie SUBBED !
Episode 00 should be watched as the introduction to the series imo
The first time I watched it was after S2 and it made it way to boring.
On the other hand learning why this movie is so low quality, what's the actual story behind all the crazy cuts and _why the heck can Shamisen talk_ is a much better payoff. You can still kinda experience it on a rewatch, but it's simply way weaker
For me I saw it as a fun bonus at the end of the movie arc. You spend so much time watching them make this disaster and then when you see it it’s like “no way I actually get to watch the full film? That’s awesome”. Starting the episode up with no context made me say “what is this and why am I watching it” but that’s just me
Well, I DO know what the anthropic principle is. That's why I'm so much better than you. =)
I like all the sci fi exposition.
No homo tho but Koizumi be making me question my sexuality sometimes
wow I'm glad I dropped it after the episode where they visited rich guy's mansion. They only good thing about this anime is Aya Hirano voice acting. And understanding references in Lucky Star. That's pretty much it.
9:20 Lord forbid a show have exposition. I wouldn't want to know what's going on. (sarcasm)
Sorry I like the video but I had to dislike because you aren't a Nichijou fan. LOL
Sorry you didn't like it - but please you have to STOP watching the dubs no matter how good the voice acting is, as you loose the "fast" speak of Nagato , and the more subtle snark . And you MUST watch it out of the episodic order .. ONLY way to watch , and the way the creators Kyoto Animation inteded you to watch this . I think bottom line is for you steer clear of sci-fi based anime .
