The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya: Complete Collection
001 4 There is certain shows developed in Japan that sort of slip under the radar and upon discovering it , you kind of wonder why you didn't hear of it in the first place ( Fate / Stay Night , while admittedly a show with a distinct formula and some character moments cut from the story , instantly became a favorite ) . Then we have something like The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya , a 14 episode show that quickly became a hit and could be accurately be described as a sensation . But all that hype and praise brings with it the inevitable overrated remarks and people not seeing the brilliance against other projects . Can Haruhi Suzumiya become a victim of its hype or is it a brilliant show regardless ? I say brilliant .
In high school , it's hard to develop an identity and stand out without being an outsider but for Haruhi Suzumiya , she enjoys her offbeat sensibilities . Declaring in school that she's not interested in anyone unless they're time travellers , aliens or espers ( psychics in other words ) , Haruhi soon is introduced to Kyon , a sardonic high school student who enjoys just not doing anything . But their world gets changed when in comes Itzuki , Yuki and Mikuru , an esper , alien and time traveller , respectively . Turns out Haruhi is seen as a sort of god-like figure who can bend the universe and possibly even destroy it and start over lest she get bored . Luckily Haruhi is quite . . . eccentric .
One of the more well-known factors consider the show was that the show's episodes were not presented in chronological order . While this worked in some cases such as episode 6 having all the makings of a finale and episode 11 which consists of Kyon narrating over a supremely amateurish movie Haruhi made makes for a unique and also bizarre premiere but then on the other hand , a 2 parter on an island vista is separated by a different episode so the cliffhanger isn't resolved until the following episode . My suggestion is to just watch the chronological order but exchange episode 14 ( Kyon's trip for a heater ) and 6 ' s place and all will be well .
As for the episodes themselves , they're frequently hilarious from dialogue to Kyon's narration or Yuki's quiet badassness / bookish tendencies and just scenes played straight for comedy or using the moe conventions of nurse / maid / catgirl outfits for humor . But the main plot is also interesting and while Yuki's explanation of Haruhi's existence from her perceptive is Evangelion-level confusing complete with screen-filling text , it's quite intriguing and the idea that the world can literally revolve around you makes for good storytelling . Some episodes are generally good with at least one cool scene while others such as an arts festival , a computer battle or the hilarious baseball episode are definate highlights .
Will everyone like it ? Maybe . Some people prefer the romance hilarity found in Love Hina while others are into more lighthearted affairs like Fruits Basket but I loved the show and can't wait for an inevitable second season and I heartily recommend you try the show out .
002 4 Some of us dream of living in a world that is a little less ordinary . Usually we end up meeting someone that wants to live in that kind of a world a little more . Still , no one wanting that kind of life comes close to an eccentric girl named Haruhi Suzumiya .
This short lived 14 episode favorite is narrated by 14 year old Kyon and boy entering high school ready to adjust to the normal world . All he has to do is forget about his fantasies of the paranomal and fantastic . All of a sudden the girl that sits behind him in class is not ready to let that world go and before he knows it Kyon is dragged into starting the S.O.S . Brigade a club bent on uncovering the secrets of the world we just can't find or explain . All of a sudden the members begin to sign up and they each turn out to be something unexpected . Yuki Nagato is a silent genius with her nose in the books , Mikuru Asahina is a cute and extremly shy Junior with a few key ' assets ' and Istuki Koizumi is an exchange student always with a smile on his face ready for the next S.O.S . Brigade adventure . Haruhi seems be enjoying herself , but Kyon knows something she doesn't Haruhi recruited an Alien Android a Time Traveler from the future and an ESPer that belongs to an entire organization whose mission is to keep the world in balance . Oh and apparently they are all keeping their eye on Haruhi because she has the ability to create new worlds and destroy old ones in the process . So why is she so bored with life . . . she doesn't know she can do that . So much for an ordinary life Kyon .
Strangly I discovered this show by stumbling onto a youtube music video of the three female leads dancing to an ultra poppy sweedish trance song . When I read about the show it seemed like a Breakfast Club meets X-Files kinda of show . Me being a fan of the anime comedy genre , I decided to give it a watch . The story is completly origional the chracters at least the normal ones are very relatable and the adventures they go on can be a bit Scooby Doo at times , but never the less alot of fun . Like your typical sci-fi anime there are alot of gaps to complete after the show ends . There is defintely a lot more to this story and I am hoping that I get to see it since there are rumors of a second season in the works .
003 4 I ran across Haruhi Suzumiya a while searching for another anime ( funny as another posted it was Fate / Stay Night I was looking for : ) ) Anyways , it grabbed my attention so I began watching it . My first impression was this anime was gonna be a weird and interesting one . The main character is one of a kind character and not like your typical Japanese anime nowadays about high school girls ( you know like they're all girly , and have the hots for this boy ) Haruhi is NOT like that . It really is amusing watching the other main character , Kyon trying to interact with her . I'm sure it will keep you watching and wondering what the heck is going on . . . and that leads me to the beauty of Haruhi Suzumiya . It's just the mystery of this girl that keeps you hooked . You just have to know what Haruhi is all about . It would have been great had they taken this a bit further and see a more mature relationship with her friend Kyon . Unfortunately , I am not sure if there will be anymore of Haruhi Suzumiya . I'm sure if they did make a another set of episodes , it'll definitely be a hit . 4 stars .
004 4 When I first heard about this series , I watched it curiously , thinking it'd be just your average dull , boring anime series . Boy was I wrong . After the first episode , I was hooked immediately . Humor , mystery , romance , adventure - this show's got it all . Keep in mind that I watched the Japanese version with English subtitles originally , while this DVD boxed set is dubbed in English . The dubbing is great ; no reading involved , and it was translated nicely . You can also choose to watch in Japanese , with English subtitles , or both . Great for those parts which are better in Japanese . I would definitely recommend it , and I haven't even looked at the extras yet !
005 4 I love this anime , and I was happy to find this complete collection . It's a good way to save some cash if you want to by the complete series .
Cons :
1 . The DVDs come in a pretty cool looking box , but mine started to tear after my first day of using the DVDs
2 . The english subs aren't as amazing as I'd like them to be ; I mean , seriously , giant green text ? I'd rather go online and watch a pretty fan sub .
3 . I'm not really feeling the different order of the episodes . The volumes have the episodes in the order in which the events happened , not the original broadcast order . I found that the new order tended to get boring while starting to get into the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Part . . . . episodes .
Pros :
1 . The English dub is pretty awesome in my opinion , but the original japanese sounds more natural to me .
2 . The actual animation is pretty well-done ; I enjoyed many of the action-ish scenes in the show because of all the detail Kyoto put into the animation .
3 . The disks inside the box come in the nice individual DVD boxes you'd find if you went to Borders and purchased the 4 volumes individually .
4 . The special features are pretty awesome . They have Nekoman galleries , textless openings and endings , The Adventures of the ASOS Brigade , and The Making of the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya .
To sum it all up , I'm glad that I bought the series . Even though , the collection has some flaws , it's still pretty awesome !
006 4 The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzamiya is one of the best new anime out there . It's funny , witty , exciting and wildly crazy . It grabs your attention like hardly anything else and holds it . I'm not exaggerating when I say that this anime changed my life . Now I keep asking myself , Have I squeezed every moment I can out the the day ? What would Haruhi have done ? The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzamiya , buy it .
007 4 * * At Netflix this anime is listed as a 5 disc series . Disc 5 being labeled as Bonus Material . I looked for info on disc 5 but all I could find was information concerning an extra music cd that comes with the Limited Edition box set ( I believe ) . Please let me know if the bonus cd futhers the story in any way and I will revise this review . * *
There are a lot of anime with unsatisfying endings , and ones that have decent endings but still leave tons of unanswered questions . However , I personally haven't seen many that have no ending whatsoever . MoHS would be the second , School Rumble was ( if memory serves ) the first .
It starts off perfectly fine . The idea that Haruhi creates and destroys just because she becomes unhappy , bored , depressed , etc , is interesting , but even more so because she has no idea that she is doing so . One starts to wonder if she will ever find out she's doing these things , or if her friends will ever tell her about what she's doing , or if they can find a way to . . . keep her from destroying the world without actually letting her know what's going on .
Sounds like a great , intriguing mystery right ? Well , don't get too excited . About the time things start to get really good , the filler episodes start coming and don't stop . It's kind of like the creator got serious writer's block , and took the easy way out . Out of nowhere Haruhi starts acting like a ( fairly ) typical high school girl , and all the mysterious goings-on just . . . vanish .
I gave this series 4 stars though because it is actually entertaining . The animation is really nice , the characters are likable , and over all MoHS is a good series . Crispin Freeman and Wendy Lee are pro V / As . I have noticed quite a few people recommend watching in a certain order concerning episode numbers . Apparently , that way it seems like there is some semblance of an ending , but looking back , I don't think that would make much of a difference . It is what it is , as they say . With that in mind , I recommend renting instead of buying .
Bandai did a heck of a marketing campaign for this series . DVD extras include behind the scenes production shorts in Japan and America , as well as The Adventures of the ASOS Brigade featuring Patricia Lee ( a.k.a the Pink Power Ranger ) as Haruhi in a series of live action promo videos . The fact they spent so much time and money doing this for a series with no ending is , in my opinion , mystifying .

To tell the truth i bought this out of impluse , but im glad I did because its one of my favorite shows now . The story is great and can be very funny at times . the plot develops slowly which is a nice change compared to the fast passed plot shows i usually watch .
Although i love the show and highly recommond you buy this you should know one thing first , even though it says complete collection it is not complete . the box set only inculdes season 1 . There is a secound season of the show but it is not avaiable in america . . . yet . There has been many rumors goingg around of the release of the second season . If you are one of those people who love to stay up all night and watch a whole series non stop , that would be kinda hard with this . I think that they should change this missleading title to The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya : Season 1

I just got this in the other day and I was very impressed by it . It comes with all the episodes in the show , has very well done subtitles , it has special features on the discs and it has the episodes play in the proper order . The only thing I don't like about this set is that it takes up quite a bit of shelf space considering it is only 4 discs , and the only reason I complain about this is because I usually order ADV box sets with the slim cases . So if you're a fan of the show and you don't want to spend an arm and a leg buying the volumes individually , get this .

The series - The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - is totally random , bizzare and not like any other story I've seen in anime . It's this awesome blend of SciFi and slice of life high school - and honestly if you don't like either one of those genres I'd stay far away from this show because going to keep you watching . Haruhi is obnoxious and hilarious , so it's good that most of the other characters , while interesting , are a bit more bland . You're not overwhelmed with insanity despite how whacky their plots can get . There is somewhat of an arch , but you can watch the episodes in a variety of orders and most everything will still make sense .
The set itself is nice but I don't think I have high expectations . Really all I want is a complete collection in a sturdy box that won't take up too much of my shelf space - this box set fits that bill . There really aren't any neat inserts that I can recall and the DVD extras are somewhat repetitive from DVD to DVD , but might be entertaining for a hardcore fan .
Overall , I do recommend this set - I was satisfied with the subtitle translations and I thought the dub was done fairly well . . . I am happy to have added it to my collection .

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzuimiya has something for everyone . There's a lot of hilarious comedy ( and it should be noted , I don't always find anime humor that funny ) , some drama-lite , some sci-fi elements - - indeed the entire series was created by otaku lovers for otaku lovers . ( Otaku refers to the culture of people who love anime , manga , and video games , etc . )
I can't add a whole lot that everyone else already has by now , but I will say do yourself a favor and look up the original Japanese broadcast order . When they made the dvds ( for Japan and U.S . ) they released the episodes in chronological order which is NOT how they were meant to be seen , and it is in fact much more enjoyable and meaningful to watch them in their original broadcast order .
I will say , being a huge fan of the series and owning some of the limited editions - - they are well worth the extras , not just for the convenience disc , but they are jampacked with really cool goodies . That said , for the person just giving this a try , or if you think $200 is too much to spend for a boxed set - - and that I'm willing , shows you how much I love the series - - this is a worthy box set , though admittedly bare bones as far as anime sets go .

016 4 Just do yourself a favor and skip the 1st episode for last . It'll make a whole more sense and not leave with the idea what in the world am i watching ? . Beyond that Kyon's narration of what he's actually thinking is what makes this series so great . But Haruhi is also crazy if not a borderline exhibitionist but it only adds more to the series . Also the world actually does revolve around Haruhi and yeah its pretty funny that way . Definetly worth checking out
017 4 I started watching this anime when I found out that it was from the same studio that made Lucky Star ; Kyoto Animation . I had no idea that it's genre was comedy , and when I started watching it I was surprised , but I loved it .
Fans of Azumanga Daioh , this is for you . Of corse , they are two different things . Azumanga Daioh is about 5 high school girls , while The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is narrated by a boy , ( Kyon ) .
It has extremely funny scenes in each episode , and I highly reccomend it .
NOTE : This anime does have some content that is not suitable for children under the age of 13 . In episode 1 ( Or 0 for that matter ) , Haruhi starts squeezing Mikuru's breasts . In episode 2 , there is a scene of sexual harrasment . Haruhi often forces Mikuru to change when Kyon is in the room . And they take their bras of too , but Kyon quickly runs out of the rooms freaked out . There is one more thing I'd like to tell you . Kyon is not the perverted type of highschooler . But he does use a bit of sexual refferences while picking up the girls clothes of the ground .
Please be aware that if there are any innapropriate things in this anime , it's just a ton of sexual humor . But it's VERY funny . Highly reccomended .

I've seen the whole series on youtube , and I instantly fell in love with it . Actually this was the first Anime that I've ever been interested in . Since I really liked it I decided to go ahead and buy the DVD to support the guys who made it . I definataly was not upset with the DVD either . The quality is excellent and comes with a good amount of extras . You have the choice to watch it in English or Japanese ( with English subtitles ) . I only wish there were more episodes . I would have loved it if there were at least two or three more episodes . Other then being a little short there is absolutely nothing wrong with the series .

020 4 This anime is very different from the ones I usually watch . But after one episode I was hooked . It is comedy / sci-fi , and totally unique . Its a short series of only about 14 english episodes . The first episode is ' 00 ' but it really should be watched after episodes 1 - 13 , otherwise , it doesn't make alot of sence . It is a funny , cazy , whirl-wind adventure that I would recomend to anyone .
021 4 On the first day of high school , Haruhi Suzumiya stands before her new class and introduces herself as having no interest in ordinary humans . She is only interested in aliens , time travelers , sliders or espers , watching her weird behaviour is Kyon , ' ordinary human , ' who sits in front of her and is the only person who talks to her . Haruhi wants nothing to do with him till Kyon comments about Haruhi's practice of joining every club in school and then quitting he unwittingly gives Haruhi an idea to start her own after school club . Thereafter Kyon and several others find themselves dragged , literally , into the ' Save our world by Overloading it with fun Suzumiya Haruhi's Brigade ' ( the S.O.S . Brigade for short ) . Life will never be the same for Kyon .
This is an amazing series , with so many twist , you could easily blow the whole day watching it .
023 4 This is by far the GREATEST anime I have ever watched . The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi is short , confusing , and extraordinarily well-made . There is a reason why there are so many great things done to parody it : everthing is so great people want to copy it . The American Voice actors were well-chosen for the most part . The only voice that seems off for the character is Haruhi's actor , but that part is exremely tough to get someone for , I'm sure . Japanese subs are the best way to watch this , but watch it any way you can !

Amazing series . My only ' complaint ' is that it isn't longer ( yes , I know there's another season ( sorta ) ) . Worth noting that the episodes were originally broadcast in a different order , various fan-sites can provide you with the list .

026 4 The series is great but the DVD release has one major flaw : the studio mixed the order of the episodes in an attempt to make them chronologically correct . Instead they actually made matters worse . Episodes 6 and 7 actually finish up the series . It makes sense when viewed in this order . Also episode 00 should be seen last as it makes little sense until after the finale .
Check the wikipedia site and follow the broadcast order for best results .
Anyway , the show is great , a kind of newer version of Tenchi Muyo . The characters are all likable and burst with personality . The animation is top notch and the musical score is also great . This is a series for all ages , though teenagers and older will get most of the references . Also , for those not well versed in anime , a few jokes will be over your head ( like when Haruhi says Launch the Gundam ! ! ! but they bleep out part of Gundam and the actual Gundam is blurred ) .
Overall a light hearted and fun series that should be enjoyed in the proper order and not Bandai's screwy order on the DVDs . . . just make sure episodes 00 , 5 and 6 are last ( or rewatch with those as the last ) !

Here's another series that while not with a lot of hard-core action or a dark dramatic storyline is still very entertaining to watch and enjoy as well as for a good chuckle . The series has are two main characters Suzumiya the young high school girl looking for her own sense of existence and life and Kyon her less than thrilled club lackey and potential boyfriend . The nice thing is you actually feel the connection that Haruhi and Kyon seem to have and truly wish they would admit their feelings and become a couple in the series and the support characters are also very entertaining when they interact with theses two . The one thing is I'm sure many other fans feel is that the series is to short and we hope that the producers do indeed make another season of this wonderful show for us all . The animation is very good and the voice cast for the Japanese and English actors / actresses were great . The box set has a forth dvd that has a great deal of extras that are also very entertaining to see after watching the series and while the series is only about thirteen episodes is still addictive .

029 4 The final episode is oddly slow , and the 00 episode makes literally no sense unless you watch it last . But overall , the show is worth every cent I spent , and I'd suggest it to anyone who likes anime .
It's funny , thought provoking , and a little over the top sometimes .
030 4 The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is about a girl who is looking for anything that is not normal . She wants to meet aliens , time travelers and ESPERs . Is she weird or she is the only person who knows what she wants ? Is she just a weird girl , is she a knot in time , is she a new evolutional turning point for life on Earth , or is she a GOD ? The English voice caste is great , including Wendy Lee ( Cowboy Bebop ) and Crispin Freeman ( Hellsing ) , the art work is great , the plots are fun , and the end result is a must see anime that will make you laugh and shake your head . The extras include previews , galleries , making of features and the Adventures of the ASOS Brigade ! Nothing like sexy female fans cosplaying and acting silly to make a guy want to buy up the DVDs . Good opening and ending songs too .
031 4 So , I normally only watch shounen anime because other people have it on . I don't generally like it . I'd heard of this series , and thought that it was just another harem anime . I was pleasantly surprised by the deeper / slightly crazy plot and just charmed by Haruhi in general . Haruhi is such a strong willed and intriguing character that I found myself liking the series .

I promised a friend that I would pick up this series , since she purchases so many others to share with me . Originally , I had previewed this through netflix and thought it was good . It took awhile before I actually bought the series . When I watched it , again , I got caught by the catchy enthusiastic opening and ending songs . If you are ever feeling down , this music will perk you right up .
The story line is good and zany . Even though this is all fiction , I can see correlations with current ideas seen in The Secret , teachings of Abraham-Hicks , etc . Create your own reality by consciously using your mind / imagination / emotions . Like Haruhi , most humans are not aware of their personal power , but are still creating , but on an unconscious level .
Okay , enough esoteric thoughts . Overall , this is a very funny and entertaining series . I hope they come out with a second season and that they get out an original soundtrack !
