Anime: The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

Summary:

Continuation from the series The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. In this movie, the world changes, but only Kyon retains his memories of the past world. He goes through a lot to find a way back into the real world, but was faced with the huge decision if he wanted to stay or go back. Which one was for the better, which one was for the worst.

Personal Ratings: 3.5

It's sort of a continuation from the main anime series, it makes the whole anime series feel more completed, especially with Kyon sorting out his feelings about Haruhi (as in if he found her irritating or not).

Finally we get to see Nagato with expressions; though I don't really like that side of her. Sometimes in the show, I also felt that there were moments where she was irritating me; even though she's like my bias in the whole show. I think they kind of went over the top with the "shy girl" image. 

Quite a disappointment because it was really totally about Kyon, there wasn't much about Haruhi, even though she was suppose to be the main focus. I thought they could have added a little of Haruhi's perspective during the time after she met with "John Smith". Though that would kind of mean breaking the consistency, because throughout the whole anime series, it was always and only form Kyon's point of view; he was the main character and the narrator. 

Bad side; you have to watch the whole of The Melanchony of Haruhi Suzumiya before you can watch this movie. It's more of a continuation than a stand alone movie, because they input a lot of information and happenings from the anime series into the movie. 

Good side; because it's also in the manga, everything flows. I know most movies, when I watch it, most of them seem really foreign because it does not really like blend into the whole anime setting. Like for One piece, Naruto and Inuyasha, their movies can be watched as a stand a lone thing.
