i tend to fall in and out of love with anime and a the more you watch the more you notice a lot of show be just poor copy of the few gem or rehash of old formula . but every once in a while one of the true gem come along and it originality just blow you away . haruhi be truly one of those show . many anime series be originally manga and sometimes the translation into an animated show be rather poorly do and doesn not utilize the benefit animation have over static drawing . haruhi be actually base on a series of light novel and fire on all cylinder and beautiful animation and great voice act and great music and a complete and well paced story . watch it you would not be disappoint and and i would suggest watch it in broadcast order it work so much good that way .
