Keeping on track for anime reviews, today's anime topic would be on 'The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya'. Sounds adventurous eh?? Well, its indeed kind of adventurous, trying to save the world from reaching destruction. Once again, World destruction, does it mean tons of action/war/death etc. ?? The answer is NO. This anime is that given such a plot, it can still proceed finely without the need of war/action. Its mainly on the supernatural and comedy side. This was released in 2006, with a total episodes of 14. An pretty old anime, so dont expect a really interesting one.
*Just a note. Dont watch this on 'goodanime.net', the episodes are mixed up real bad.

My rating : 7/10
The anime begins with the main protagonist, Kyon. He is someone who leads a boring life, goes to school everyday, not giving a damn about anything else. Kyon is also the narrator for the series, you can basically hear him talk alot throughout. He is narrating from his own perspective, how he feels about events/situations as the anime proceeds. Kyon enters highschool for the 1st time, and meets Suzumiya Haruhi. She is someone that has no interest in human affairs, but only interested in supernatural beings like Aliens/Time travellers/Espers etc. After sometime, Kyon unexpectedly became Haruhi's friend and jioned her club under forced, along with 3 other members.
It was later revealed that Haruhi was not a normal human, but a being who can manipulate the world according to her desires. In simple words, she is God. However, she is unconscious about her power. Whenever she feels bored or is upset, something bad will happen the world, altering it in which is what she desires. Simply to put, if Haruhi wished for something or desires something, it will come true. If she is unhappy or disappointed about something, she could also made it disappear. But all these is done without she herself knowing it. It is all up to Kyon and the club members to satisfy haruhi's needs, making her happy, so that the current world could be preserved.
14 episodes of adventures with Haruhi and her club members, all just to pleased Haruhi, making her feel that this world is fun, so she will not alter it!
 
Well, the anime will fill you with tons of words about the fact that Haruhi is a god, so please bear with it. Besides that, i think season 1 is pretty fine. I will not say the same for season 2 though. Hmm.., i think thats it for season 1. Season 2 in my next post as usual.
Opening song is 'Bouken Desho Desho', by Aya Hirano. Its not bad, if you hear it a couple of times.
