Movie: The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya
Status: Completed
Episode: 28
Release date (eng subs): -
Summary:
Kyon, your typical high school student, has long given up his belief in the supernatural. However, upon meeting Haruhi Suzumiya, he quickly finds out that it is the supernatural that she is interested in—aliens, time travelers, and espers among other things. When Haruhi laments about the lack of intriguing clubs around school, Kyon inspires Haruhi to form her own club. As a result, the SOS Brigade is formed, a club which specializes in all that is the supernatural.
Much to his chagrin, Kyon, along with the silent bookworm, Yuki Nagato, the shy and timid Mikuru Asahina, and the perpetually smiling Itsuki Koizumi, are recruited as members. The story follows the crazy adventures that these four endure under their whimsical leader, Haruhi. The story is based on the light novels by Nagaru Tanigawa.

Personal Ratings: 3
Being an anime that is separated into two season, both 14 episodes each, it's really a weird episode number. Usually I see 12 or 13 episode, rarely 14.
A must to see the movie after watching all the episodes, it completes the whole story on the Christmas party that Haruhi was suppose to hold.
Quite a unique anime, one that comprises of main stream battle with slice of life. It's really one that you wouldn't really see in most animes. Even in animes that comprises of this two genre; like Katekyo Hitman Reborn, usually focuses on the two genre separately.
Honestly, some parts of the show is really hard to understand the large information they are feeding us, so to understand this anime completely is close to impossible. This is especially so when Nagato speaks really quickly (which, btw, I find super cool), and the complex style Koizumi talks in (he keeps going on in circles).
I actually like how Kyon actually narrates the whole show, he really makes the show a lot more funnier; especially when he adds in his serious reactions and comments.
The bad side about this is that some times you can't really tell if he is talking or is narrating. Most of the times you can tell because there is a difference in the tone he uses, but there is some moments where you can't really tell.
The thing that I found really disappointing is that there is no main purpose of the show. Even until the end of the show I found that it ended abruptly, and there was no true purpose in the show. Though each and every incident and problems were really interesting, there is just thing huge disappointment when the show ends just like that.
Art Ratings: 3
Mixutre of art from K-ON and Clannad
I'm guessing this is the part where Kyoani switched the type of art.
