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.

"When I was in school, one of my good friends said I reminded them of the main character, Haruhi. After seeing this for the first time, I can kinda see it. I like obscurities, I’m selectively social, and can be annoying at times! 🤣 Definitely do not have the assertiveness nor am I comfortable with some of her touchy-touchy moments. As a series, it’s really interesting. I get the varied opinions of the show. If you’re not one for random or quirkiness, this probably won’t appeal to you.."

"My wife made me watch this with her (in broadcast order) as an important show from her adolescence and this show has a dedication to its artistic vision at times at the expense of its watchability that rivals... Most art films I've seen. I have a lot of respect for it. Also it's got some solid gags and surprisingly good "camera work" for a weekly anime series. It was an interesting watch and I ended up quite liking it."

"Classic slice of life anime that's on the same rank as Lucky Star. Entertaining, Kyoani animation, with a nice plot."

"My favorite anime/manga series of all time, and favorite entertainment franchise period. Love all of the original novels and the anime adaptations. "
