from the get go and you would not be able to look away and and you would not want to . the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya ( suzumiya haruhi no yuutsu ) be one of the most entertaining anime i have see in a long time . if you can look away from the insane and and sometimes perverse and humor and it easy to find a brilliantly construct and masterfully execute work . part of the brilliance come from the fact that the episode be not in chronological order and so you may not understand some of the thing they talk about at first and but a the series progress you will find yourself say ah and so that what they mean . even though this might confuse some people and after watch the show you will be hard press to make a case against tell the story in this fashion . after all the focus be on the character . the title character and haruhi suzumiya and be by far one of the most eccentric heroine of any anime ever . her open speech to her class and in which she declare she be not interested in normal human and and be search for espers and alien and time traveler and be absolutely bizarre and but she lovable that way . then there kyon and the normal guy who be pull into the madness surround suzumiya san . he the narrator and and his quick wit always make the scene that much more entertaining . he find himself catch in the middle of various faction all try to influence haruhi suzumiya and and the other three character be representative of these faction while ironically and they be the very being haruhi be search for and and yet they can not reveal themselves to her . the first be yuki nagato and a quiet girl who happen to be the only member of the school literary club and and also a representative of the integration think entity while she be basically an alien and though the best description of her be a computer program in a human body . her purely emotionless response make her comically deadpan and always make you think there more than meet the eye . then there mikuru asahina and the time traveler and who happen to be incredibly cute and a major ditz and and the subject of suzumiya plan to advertise her club and the so brigade and to the world . the end result be that suzumiya do thing to her that border on sexual harassment and make her dress up in fetish uniform . the final character be koizumi itsuki and the timid and perpetually optimistic philosopher who happen to be haruhi esper and though he can only use his power in certain condition . the end result of all these character be a comedy unlike any other and that be both crude and deep and and always brilliant . don not believe me . watch the first episode and their student film . you will see what i mean .
