Based on a series of best-selling novels by Nagaru Tanigawa, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (2006) overflows with zany energy. Despite the title, Haruhi Suzumiya is anything but melancholy: she's a bossy, outspoken high school girl who's searching for "aliens, time travelers, and espers." To aid her search, Haruhi founds a new club, The SOS Brigade. Although she doesn't realize it, Haruhi has actually found what she's looking for in her recruits: Yuki is an alien; Mikuru, a time traveler; Itsuki, an esper. Kyon, the put-upon narrator,is normal--at least superficially.Itsuki warns Kyon that the existence of the universe may depend on Haruhi's whims. When she gets upset, dark gaps open between dimensions, haunted by shinji (ghostly giants) whom Itsuki and other espers must destroy. Kyon wonders if he's having nightmares or protecting the world from destruction, but this storyline recedes as the series progresses. Like Dokkoida and Magical Shopping ArcadeAbenobashi, Melancholy spoofs the cliches of anime and otaku culture. When the president of the computer club challenges the SOS Brigade to a duel playing "Day of Sagittarius 3," the episode turns into an outrageous spoof of sci-fi anime, with Haruhi shouting commands from the bridge of an imaginary space ship. But the series stops, rather than ends, with the story unresolved as Haruhi and Kyon walk off into the rain. Given the popularity of Melancholy in Japan and the US, a sequel may be in the works. (Rated 13 and older: cartoon violence, risque humor) --Charles Solomon
Product Description
I thought that when I entered high school, my days of believing in aliens, time travelers and ESPers were going to be over. That is until she introduced herself. Claiming to be interested in only aliens, time travelers, and ESPers, Haruhi Suzumiya was the strangest girl I ve met in a long time. Before I knew what s going on, I ve been dragged into her weird club, and it looks like I m not the only one who has been drafted into this SOS Brigade of hers, because there are three other students who don t seem to be so ordinary themselves. Either way we ve all found ourselves caught up in Haruhi s quest to search for all things extraordinary. And what s this I hear about us making a movie?

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.
 Short, but leaves a great impression. August 2, 2008

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 Isagi 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.
Good for not only child but also the President. July 23, 2008

Suzumiya Haruhi is a high school girl. Kyon, only nick name, is a high school boy who sits in front of Haruhi, first name. She wants play with aliens, time travelers and ESPers. She begin a circle in the Kita Kou, North high school. The circle name is Sekai wo ooini moriageru Suzumiya Haruhi no Dan, shortly SOS Dan or SOS brigade, meaning is encouraging a world by Suzumiya haruhi's birgae. She do not know Asahina Mikuru is time traveler, Nagato Yuki is aliens, and Koizumi Itsuki is ESPer. In Japanese "Mikuru" meens coming from futre, Yuki meens "snow". This story is too complicated to understand only first stage. If you watch three stories, you will agree to fun. This package contain all of them.
