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.

"Then what about me? What does the person Haruhi Suzumiya... mean to me?"
So glad I came back to finally watch this properly. Actually sat through Endless Eight instead of skipping it and I think I gained a greater appreciation for this show and its characters that way. In some ways it makes me think about my own life, only I've seen less aliens, time travellers and espers. It's by coincidence (or more accurately, manipulated probability by Haruhi) that these people even end up in the same place yet they end up going through so much together and building incredible bonds. I love genuine friendship and care, which is such a powerful theme of the show (and it's even stronger in the film). It helps that such a thing has brought about what is currently the best period of my life now. I might have to start reading the light novels because it's so tough to just stop there.
Watched in order D (as listed by Wikipedia) which is the chronological order using both seasons, but I swapped Someday in the Rain and Live Alive because I think the latter works better as final episode, because 'God Knows' is so hype to listen to and it ends with Kyon and Haruhi talking about what will happen in the next year, which we won't see in animation. The film is also a great ending but I already rewatched it for Christmas. I'll also be logging this for yesterday because that was when I binged this mostly and only finished now because I got a little held up. I'll continue to binge anime through this month as I did last year, rewatching a few things but also finding new stuff (especially recommended stuff, so please recommend!). I also hope everyone is enjoying their Letterboxd 2025 Summary. 310 films, 306 reviews, 589 hours, top actor Noah Centineo with 17 films (I was torturing myself) and top director Hideaki Anno with 8 films for me.
It feels strange to be saying goodbye to Haruhi Suzumiya again.

**The God in a School Uniform
**
Haruhi Suzumiya adalah seorang cewe SMA yang punya kekuatan setingkat Tuhan, dia bisa ngerubah realitas sesuka hati—tapi masalahnya, dia ngga tau kalo dia punya kekuatan itu.
**The "Endless Eight" Controversy
**
"Endless Eight"—di mana satu loop kejadian yang sama diulang selama 8 episode berturut-turut. ini langkah paling berani (dan dibenci sekaligus dikagumi) dalam sejarah penyiaran anime. sebuah ujian kesabaran buat penonton.
Haruhi adalah paket lengkap: karakter yang iconic, konsep filosofis tentang eksistensi, dan punya humor yang solid. walaupun haruhi sendiri karakternya bisa jadi nyebelin banget (karena dia egois parah), dinamika antara dia dan kyon adalah jantung dari cerita ini
