The Last Will and Testament of Haruhi Suzumiya is a controversial document written by Haruhi Suzumiya, founder of the SOS Brigade and Supreme Leader and dictator of Japan from 2003 to 2015. Written in the fading stages of World War III, it stated her reasons for sacrificing her life by committing suicide, while acknowledging that the war had turned against Japan. It also acknowledged her marriage to her long term assistant Kyon, and that they choose death over disgrace of deposition or capitulation; and that their bodies were to be cremated. She also stated that her personal belongings were to either be given to Kyon's Sister or to be used for the welfare of the SOS Brigade. She concluded her testament with a call to continue the "sacrifice" and "struggle", while expressing hope for a renaissance of the SOS Brigade in the distant future.The political testament was in two parts. In the first, she denied charges of wrongdoing, expressed her thanks to Japan's loyal citizens, and appealed to them to continue the struggle against the Holy Britannian Empire. She also expelled Brigade Secretary Yuki Nagato and Politburo member Mikuru Asahina from the organization and dismissed them from all of their state offices, after they tried to negotiate peace with the Britannian forces without Haruhi's knowledge or permission. Both were declared as traitors.
>>268622862The testament lays out Haruhi's intentions for the nation of Japan and the SOS Brigade after her death and details who was to succeed her. Haruhi named Yoshimi Sakanaka as Prime Minister of Japan and Itsuki Koizumi as Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces. Haruhi's post as "Danchou" or Brigade Leader, which is how she was commonly known, was left vacant. Sakanaka, who was until then a minor figure in the SOS leadership, was surprised when she heard about Haruhi naming her as Prime Minister. She vowed to continue the fight against invading forces, moving the capital to Haruhi's hometown of Nishinomiya after Britannian forces captured Tokyo. Koizumi, who was among the few witnesses to Haruhi's will, committed suicide a day later along with his wife Kyouko Tachibana, leaving Sakanaka as the sole representative of the crumbling Brigade regime.The will was witnessed by Miss Sonou Mori, Field Marshall Sasaki and Deputy Brigade Leader Itsuki Koizumi. All witnesses either died or were captured shortly after the will and testament were written. In 2022, Kyon's Sister tried to claim her inheritance from the will, but was unsuccessful because Kyon's real name was not mentioned on the document.
Not even Haruhi can match the might of Allah!

*sniff sniff* This thread smells like an old man's room.
Was rerunning this show earlier this summer and got thinking do you think that Nagato allowed endless eight to go on for that long because she wanted to be with Kyon? She tries telling him stuff a few times in the time loops when they're alone but never succeeds. Not only that but her whole "I don't alter anything myself" excuse for not telling them about it is kind of BS given that she does step in on her own terms throughout the show even before the movie

Reminder:>That said, a single anime episode costs about US$100,000-300,000 per episode, according to various producers we've talked to. That might seem like a lot, but in reality it's pretty cheap, about on par with an American deep-cable TV show. (An American prime-time TV show can cost well into the millions.) But multiplied across 13 episodes, that nonetheless turns into a total budget of US$2-4 million.https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2012-03-05>According to Masamune Sakaki, a CG creator in the anime industry, an average 13-episode anime season costs around 250 million yen (or $2 million). He also made it clear that most anime can't recoup this expense, and the industry rests on the windfall of a few big hits. In a July interview, Takayuki Nagatani, producer of Shirobako, claimed that his show cost 500 million yen (or $4 million) for 24 episodes. In order to make it sell, he had to "advertise it, plan events, and make merchandise." Shinji Takamatsu, a veteran animator, cited a figure of 150 to 200 million yen ($1.2 to $1.6 million).https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2015-08-13/anime-insiders-share-how-much-producing-a-season-costs/.91536For comparison:>When Landgraf ordered the first season [of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia], he set a budget of $450,000 per episode, less than a third the cost of a network sitcom.>The show’s budget now is about $1.5 million per episode — on par with a network sitcom. It shoots in HD on the Fox movie lot with more extras, adding to the cost.https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2010-sep-25-la-fi-ct-sunny-20100926-story.html>Just a few years ago, it was known that it costs approximately $2 million to create one episode of Family Guy and it's believed that the cost is still accurate today, with normal inflation not taken into account. This is largely due to the high costs of the stars of the show.https://www.therichest.com/rich-powerful/this-is-how-much-an-episode-of-family-guy-costs-to-make/

>makes a play where Kyon and Koizumi kiss>makes a movie where Yuki and Mikuru fall in loveWhy is Haruhi like this?
Why is Haruhi so mean towards Mikuru and Kyon?Kyon is always the designated errand boy & SOS Brigade's wallet and Mikuru became the designated maid of the brigade without either of them being asked about it.They're also the only members of the SOS Brigade that were physically assaulted by Haruhi.The Indignation:>As she said that, Haruhi had started taking my blazer off. Hey hey hey, shouldn't you be ashamed of yourself!? Is stripping Asahina-san not enough for you, you perverted girl!?
>>268656131To be fair, Mikuru is the definition of rapebait. Something about her really makes you want to treat her like shit
Did you know that Kyon wanted to deface the face of fellow SOS Brigade on three non-consecutive occasions?I know he finds them annoying, but why does he hate them so much? He could simply leave the Brigade and they would become nothing more than a bitter memory.The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya:>Baka-Tsuki: "'Hasn't it always been that way?' Koizumi said softly to me, carrying a smile so dashing one has an urge to go draw it. Koizumi elegantly opened his mouth.">Yen Press: "'That's how it always is,' Koizumi whispered to me. The elegant smile he had made me want to draw on his face. His graceful lips remained curved up."The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya:>Yen Press: "Draw on her face... or no. I can do that some other time. There'll be plenty of chances for that.">Baka-Tsuki: "I really felt like drawing on her face. Maybe next time, I'll have all the time to do that."The Rampage of Haruhi Suzumiya:>Baka-Tsuki: Haruhi was in deep sleep. This gave me the urge to doodle all over her face. However, her sleepy visage wasn't one I wanted to deface. That woman is quite a looker if she doesn't say a word.>Yen Press: Haruhi was sound asleep. I was tempted to draw on her face. Still, she looked her best when she was asleep, yeah? If only she would keep her mouth shut.
>>268656131What's the context for that quote? It's been years since I read the book
What causes Kyon to be bothered by Haruhi and Koizumi so much? Why does he hate them so much?The Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya:>"That's because I can't let you know the methods of traveling through time, since that's classified information. Are you angry?">No, I'm not angry at all. If it were Haruhi, I'd have already beaten the crap out of her; but since this is Asahina-san, then I wouldn't mind at all.The Wavering of Haruhi Suzumiya:>(...) See, aren't I right? My body would go hot just thinking about Asahina-san. If Koizumi had called me saying such stuff, I would've hung up already. By the way, I'm not bisexual either. Do I make myself clear?But given that the person calling was not Koizumi, he decided to continue the call until everything was cleared up. The love confession was for Yuki.>inb4 he's actually tsundere for them because they are the ones who dragged him into the supernatural mess he's inNo, not really. That merit goes to Haruhi, and Haruhi alone. It's hard to argue that Koizumi was a bigger influence in that regard than Yuki and Mikuru; whom, by the way, don't invoke anger in Kyon, especially Asahina. He was the last member to join, too. If he's a tsundere, it is not for that reason.
>>268656512
Why is Kyon such a tsundere about Koizumi's smile? He went from hating Koizumi's smile, to call it mid, and finally he used a flattering metaphor to describe it.The Melancholy:>After Koizumi left with that annoying grin of his, I discovered Nagato had left already.The Sigh:>I was speechless for a moment, and only came to my senses when I heard someone giggling besides me. That could only be Koizumi.>“Oh, I see.”>He seemed rather pleased; I really am envious of him.>“How I should say this? As expected of Suzumiya-san perhaps? Only Suzumiya-san could have come up with such characters, simply amazing.”>Don't smile at me like that, you're making me uncomfortable.The Boredom:>I glared at Koizumi's increasingly irritating smile. This was the big announcement you were talking about?...The Dissociation:>Next to me was Itsuki Koizumi, smiling like always. Unlike the airplane contrail I'd been looking at, his face was neither pleasant nor unpleasant, merely normal, and there was nothing to be gained by gazing at it. I looked forward once again....The Surprise Part One:>Koizumi's light smile was like a serene May sky after days of continuous rain.
>>268654986Yeah? If Haruhi wasn't real, then why are humans the only intelligent species? Ha! Come prepared next time.
Why is Mikuru Asahina like this? Was she into being a maid all along?Did Haruhi break her? Does she do it to please Haruhi?>Baka-Tsuki: Asahina gave a gasp and simply stared at them with awe - more specifically, she was staring at Mori-san. She was half awestruck and 30% troubled. What about the remaining 20%? I believe she was a bit envious. After being forced by Haruhi to wear that costume every day, she must have subconsciously begun to enjoy being a maid.>Yen Press: In a daze Asahina gazed at the two of them—Mori, to be specific—with a surprised look on her face. Though I suppose it was half surprise and around 30 percent confusion. Who knows what the remaining 20 percent would be considered? There may have been some envy mixed in. Perhaps she'd actually developed a desire to become a real maid after Haruhi kept forcing it on her.
Why is Mikuru Asahina like this?>Asahina served me tea, a larger than usual smile blooming on her face. I asked her why she was so happy.>"She's just so cute!" she replied, sounding totally charmed. "Her voice, her attitude, the way she does things, her expressions, the way she bows... it's all just so cute I can't take it!">Asahina clutched the tea tray to herself and squirmed, looking rather cute herself. To think that such a charming older student could herself be so stricken —Yasumi Watahashi was a force to be reckoned with, indeed.[...]>A flushed Asahina started to hug herself yet again. Evidently Yasumi had just been too cute to bear.>"She looked at me with those eyes, like a little baby animal... She was so... cute..."
>>268656529One's an immature supreme being and the other's her overprotective tard wrangler
>>268601869Literally, LITERALLY, the goddess of arrested development.Worst goddess.
Why is Yuki Nagato like this?
>>268644297While this price tag may be true, we speak of the Brigade, here. Mathematical breakthroughs have happened before.All it takes is one rich Tsuruya with passion for Haruhi and money to burn. "If it doesn't exist...">>2686568911. Function is to observe2. Built to communicate and transmit data3. wow that sure is a lot of observable data transfer happening if you know what i meanReminder that Yuki Nagato is a freak and I'll never have enough of her
>>268656720Asahina-san (big) has mentioned looking back nostalgically on those costumes and her time with the SOS Brigade. In the end, I think she likes taking care of everyone, and maybe even some of the costumes themselves. I mean, look how happy she was in the maid outfit while Haruhi was taking pictures.>>268656732If you can't figure this one out go back and look at Snow Mountain Syndrome again.
>>268608926:3
>>268599906sad that most """ anime fans""" now haven't even watched haruhi
>>268658180It's kind of odd how a single episode of Family Guy (or 2 of IASIP) could fund a season of anime.
>>268658413I see no appeal in Haruhi so I don't care. If she was flatter I'd watch her show.
>>268658413If only the endless eight didn't happen and ricecels didn't chimp out over Aya Hirano getting railed by her band...
>>268658704Stay in your u149 containment thread.

>>268661953Using Kyon's reactions to Koizumi's smile instead of just saying "Koizumi might be a decent person" or something along those lines is... an interesting choice, to say the least.

>>268668390Haruhi Suzumiya is the GOAT among GOATsIt is one of the classics.The movie that follows s1 and 2 I'd consider to be the best piece of art and/or media I've ever seen.
>>268668654Can I watch the OVAs instead of the show? I’m feeling like a movie before bed tonight
>>268668699What OVAs?Haruhi suzumiya has 2 tv seasons, the movie, 2 gag series and 1 alternate continuity series.If you are talking about gag series it is hard to understand them if you hadn't watched the show/ read the light novel
>>268668390It definitely isn't standard school shit and it's the best anime ever made. It's not for everyone however. Lots of pleb filters.
>>268668390Depending on how much you get into it it could be just good to a unique masterpiece.Movie only is doing the story a disservice, you'll enjoy the movie without knowing all these characters so well and you'll likely rate it an 8 or a 9 but knowing everything elevates it more

>>268671183You're welcome.
>>268668390I watched Haruhi for the first time recently. I'll give you an actual review.The season one material is pretty good. By today's standard, it's probably around a 7-8/10.The season two material sucks. It's comprised of two major arcs; endless eight and the movie arc. Endless eight is actually the exact same episode re-done eight times in a row because they're stuck in a time loop. There's no real need to go into why they did it, just know they took a ballsy gamble and it did not really pay off. The second arc here is the movie arc where they make a film for their school festival. I personally didn't like this one because it made Haruhi out to be a fucking bitch. I think her character would have been better without this development. Season two is a total wash. Like 4/10.Then there's the movie, which was great. 9/10.Overall, I can definitely see how Haruhi changed the anime world in 2006. This was surely an incredible show for that time. But... should you watch it TODAY? Today it's just pretty good. I would only call it a must watch for someone who is a well rounded connoisseur that wants to know anime history. If that's not you, there are plenty of better shows out there.Anyone giving this show higher praise than this is living in the past.
I really hope the newfag left the thread before the spoiling maltard showed up
>>268672460>I personally didn't like this one because it made Haruhi out to be a fucking bitch. I think her character would have been better without this developmentCompletely disagree on that for a few reasons.First, making Haruhi a bitch again is necessary for the movie dilemma to actually ring true and be effective. Haruhi needs to have downsides, especially at this point in the story (she can grow out of them later on), otherwise there's no dilemma.Second, there's a context to this. The movie making arc is everyone enabling Haruhi while she's developing a god complex by projecting into her fictional universe (movie) and bossing people around. This was bound to explode at some point, especially considering nobody stopped her early enough. It ended properly and she reconciled with everyone, doubly so with the Live Alive (concert) episode that comes after.Third, one might say it's weird to have Haruhi act like a bitch after she developed in Melancholy (first arc). But not only is there the context I discussed above but it also makes her feel more human, you don't develop linearly and instantly become a better person, relapsing is an eventuality.Overall Haruhi IS a great person who just starts off in a pretty bad place and does some bad things, and I think it's the point. She's kind of a force of nature who needs to learn and be channeled properly.
>>268672741The meme is pushing twenty years old now buddy. At some point you have to let it rest.
>>268673152You're not wrong at all. I just think it was already 85% established and it wasn't really necessary to crank her up to total cunt status. Then again I could see how a writer might do that to make it obvious as fuck for the audience. This kind of exaggeration is more common for shows in that era too.
>>268671639actually about a whole year and a month
>>268673451I think it's less exaggeration and more of a really unfortunate escalation. The worst part is easily telling Koizumi to kiss Mikuru. The drink only had a little sake in it, but Mikuru can't take alcohol at all. And obviously the scene where Kyon tries to punch her shows how serious all of this is, the writing definitely acknowledges it. But like I said, escalation played a part in this, Kyon yells at her "Mikuru isn't your toy" so she justs answers "well fuck you she is" as part of the fight, but she really doesn't think that at all.But overall I can see why one would have issues with this scene and think it went too far in one direction. I do think the arc as a whole is pretty interesting and not the best but definitely a good one with interesting parts (I especially like the end with Mikuru and Koizumi trying to get Kyon on their side and Nagato telling Kyon she can't tell him who's right because she can't prove anything either). The resolution is somewhat simple but appropriate for the subject matter.
Day 0 since last time twitter immigrants complained about Haruhi
>>268673152Another excellent theorypost, though the situation is more complicated I think.Haruhi's disregard for others comes from her fascination with the supernatural (aliens, espers and time travellers) whitch ultimately stems from her desire for the world to be interesting, she developed when she realized she wasn't special on the baseball stadium at 6yo.Ironicly enough, by having the story be set up in such a way that Haruhi cannot find out about the existence of the supernatural surrounding her she starts enyoing life in spite of the lack of the supernatural, that is, her adventures with the SOS brigade play out in such a way Haruhi starts finding the nonsupernatural world interesting (you can see it in the series that she is much happier the longer the story goes on, and koizumi states it outright at the start of dissaperance), hence why she starts treating the nonsupernatural world with more care (as seen with the concert).It is telling that out of everyone surrounding her she trusts Kyon the most.Kyon is actually very simular to Haruhi in his way of thinking, the opening monoluge reveals that he feels the same way about the world being more interesting with the supernatural in it.The main difference between them at the very start is that Kyon accepted the world as a boring place, hence his cynicism, while Haruhi refused to do so, hence her excentricity.The reason Kyon started talking to Haruhi is because her introductory speech jolted him into a sense of doubt on his positions, at minimum he found Haruhi herself to be interesting.Finally why Kyon resonated with Haruhi was that he shared her worldview, meaning in his conversations he was interested in her rather then trying to force her to conform to social norms like everyone else.Kyon went along with Haruhi in the creation of the sos-dan and participating in it because he found that being around Haruhi makes the World more interesting (though he doesn't truly understand until dissaperance).
>>268674104>The reason Kyon started talking to Haruhi is because her introductory speech jolted him into a sense of doubt on his positions, at minimum he found Haruhi herself to be interesting.>Finally why Kyon resonated with Haruhi was that he shared her worldview, meaning in his conversations he was interested in her rather then trying to force her to conform to social norms like everyone else.Very true. Kyon himself would never admit to it but that's likely how this happened.>she starts enyoing life in spite of the lack of the supernaturalThat's true, but I think it's a bit more subtle than her shifting from supernatural to mundane. In truth, this supernatural obsession was just a proxy for self actualization. She drowned in a sea of billions and needed desperately to assert her existence in it. So she looked for that. The way the story goes, it's not that she needs to give up on that, it's more that there's a way to self actualize without losing the real world. Melancholy arc Haruhi basically rejects everything around her, she will never ever find the supernatural she seeks, she's not unique in that way. Later down the line, Haruhi accepts that while she might not find it, she can still look for it and enjoy the process. It's more about integrating this sense of adventure in her life and with her friends, this is the process that allows her to "shine" and truly "exist" in the way she always wanted. I think it's actually stated in the Indignation novel.Meanwhile Kyon is revealed to be actually more interested than Haruhi in the actual supernatural over the process of self actualization by looking for it, which is a funny role reversal.
>>268674312Excellent points!The next logical step for both of them would be to realize this,Kyon would finally figure out that it is not the supernatural school life that is so interesting but rather Haruhi herself.Meanwhile haruhi's character arc completion would probably be full actualization by having her be lifted up by kyon (as she lifted up kyon at the start of melancholy)?She would probably realize that the supernatural is unnecessary, leading to the end of that story element.this way yuki could finally "autoevolve" into being free from the contraints of her brith.koizumi could finally realize he can trust Haruhi and probably go down some arc of distingishing himself from his powers as a self-actalization tactic.Mikuru idkThis could reveal the story itself to be one giant anti-escapist ploy in the veil of a strange genre-buster.perhaps something like this?Whatever the case Koizumi and especially Mikuru lack character development, and should be given greater focus.

>>268680143Fairy Tail sequel aired last week and she's still voicing the main heroine.
>>268599906I keep seeing this character from time to time, who is it? Should I know?
I've read Endless Eight, and I catched some things that I was too dense to get from the anime, or that were not adapted.Yen Press:>One more piece of garbage to add to Asahina's belongings. It'll probably be an armband with the word "medal" written on it.>But.>"I'll stick this frog in the clubroom as a souvenir. Mikuru, feel free to wear this whenever you want. I give you permission!">I couldn't bring myself to feel angry after seeing the look on Haruhi's face. I pick this particular fragment because Baka-Tsuki has a very different translation, which is likely wrong, considering the anime (pic related):>"This frog is going to be a keepsake in the Brigade classroom. Mikuru-chan, you can wear this whenever you like. I grant you this privilege!" >I couldn't show my anger because I was just so suffused with rage from Haruhi's expressions at that moment.Kyon had to avoid looking at Haruhi during the festival out of fear of getting funny ideas.>We even headed to the local fireworks show. The fireworks were Shaku-dama shells launched from the shore. The three donned their yukata once more, but only Haruhi was really enjoying the rockets that went "boom, boom!" as they shot up in the air [...]. Haruhi just loves the excess of splendor. We can only see her genuine, untainted, and very childish smile at times like these, although I took my eyes away from her rather quickly, because if I kept staring at her, who knows what I would be thinking about. As for what I might think of, I am not sure of it myself. [...]Haruhi has this really odd line:>“You look sooo cute! I am impressed with myself, having an eye for fashion! You in a yukata can swoon 95% of all men!” >What’s with the 5%? >“Cause a real GAY will not be swayed no matter how cute a girl is. Please remember this: out of a hundred men, five are GAY.” >I don’t see a point of keeping that in my mind.
>>268685983>“Cause a real GAY will not be swayed no matter how cute a girl is. Please remember this: out of a hundred men, five are GAY.”kek is that real? I read that novel a while ago and I don't remember it
I am going to say it /a/.....i will do it........Don't try to stop me /a/......
>>268686034This is the Yen Press translation, courtesy of Google Books. If it came out today, people would say a lot of meaningless buzzwords.
>>268685967Haruhi Suzumiya, titular character of the Haruhi Suzumiya series of light novels. It was big during the latter half of the 2000s, not so much nowadays.She's still popular enough to get occasional events, crossovers with gacha games, and being used by Kadokawa to promote new titles.
I wish there were more scenes of the SOS Brigade just chilling out in the Literature Club.
>>268687579Thanks
Why is Kyon like this? Koizumi made a perfectly valid point.
>>268689348You're welcome.
>>268599906>How dare you forget about your Goddess!I could never. Haruhi was peak entertainment and the movie will never be topped.

>>268682338>throwaway page?
>>268644345What would happen if someone took chunks of text from the novels and fed it into an image generatorWould we get coloured Haruhi manga as per its true vision?
>>268599906Genuine question. I liked the first 3 episodes. Really bold. But it's just slow and nothing happens. Should I bother continuing?
>>268696657YES!
>>268696657Which watch order are you using?
>>268688646
>>268697742chronological. but i started with S1 instead of ONA
>>268699245Not them. The ONAs are comedic spin-offs.
>>268696657At least finish the first arc (7 episodes)
>>268691726Based.
>>268694195it's a retcon of so many things and is basically forgotten about a page or 2 later, its only purpose is basically a middle finger to readers
>>268696657>>268699245>>268701180Season 1 is great, season 2 is mid but it's still worth watching just to get the context necessary to enjoy the 10/10 movie. Seriously, that movie is amazing you need to watch it eventually.
>mid
>>268668390it's one of the best animes and the movie is like, top 3 cinematic pieces to come out of Japan ever.
>>268673152based mature reading. I felt a bit sick when Kyon winds up to fucking smack Haruhi in Tsuruya's house, but it was important to show depth to all the characters. Kyon isn't totally haruhi's bitch, Haruhi was going overboard, Koizumi did keep a cool head, and didn't actually get mad Kyon when he nearly knocked Koizumi's God's fucking teeth in.that's a LOT more mature writing than we get nowadays. even in serious shows we don't get depth of character development like that. it blew me away.
>>268704627The nice touch is that while Kyon is really fucking mad at her, his speech to Koizumi makes it clear that he sees it as educating her and still cares about her. If he doesn't fix her there she'll never be fixed. In the end they didn't need a punch or a slap to get the message across, the yelling was enough. They really should have stood up to her before it got to this.
>>268599956We did, dipshit. Endless 8 counts as 2 seasons in 1
>>268664078I love that I know this doujin.Now the world ending rape one...
>>268704792>Now the world ending rape one...... yeeeesssssss?????
>>268704844One of the many archive (forgot the author's name) did on Haruhi. It's easy to find, they are all colored
>>268704672it's such a stark contrast to modern slice writing. in a normal show Koizumi would have kissed Mikuru and then there'd be 4 episodes of people being angry about it with nothing of bother happening. >>268689799Koizumi just likes being gay at kyon. he does this all the fucking time in the books.
>>268689799>>268704964Because Koizumi is poking at Kyon's core lie. He likes when things happen, he likes Haruhi's chaos.
>>268704987Espers are the biggest cuckolds
>>268705194also thiswhen you realize that Yuki even makes him a cuck in her alternate world
>>268705274Just as the goddess would intend
>>268614792>You're 35 years old. Don't you think it's about time to stop, soon?Are Zoomers really this delusional about believing that their tastes in anime girls will change when they themselves get older?'oh man, I just realized that I am now 28 years old, time to scrub my hard drive of 99% of the anime girls on it and exclusively be into MILFs but not in the 'Mommy' way! This is what most of us are defiantly gonna do! Yeah!'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moZtoMP7HAA
>>268614792>good stuff magically turns bad when you get oldernot if you have good taste.
>>268704964>Koizumi just likes being gay at kyon.He only pointed out something regarding what Kyon said, tho.
History of SOS Brigade leadership>Haruhi Suzumiya (2003-2027) - 24 years (3 terms as PM)>Itsuki Koizumi (2027-2029) - 2 yearsThere was a 2 year gap in Haruhi's reign when she was arrested for alleged electoral malpractices. During that time Itsuki was managing the day to day affairs of the party, while Haruhi remote controlled him from jail. He refused to use the term 'Brigade Leader', saying that only Haruhi was worthy of that title, and preferred to call himself Party President. After she was released from prison, he relinquished the leadership and let Suzumiya retake command.>Haruhi Suzumiya (2029-2055) - 26 years (3 terms as PM)>Sasaki (2055-2060) - 5 yearsAfter Haruhi announced her retirement from active politics, she hired Sasaki to manage the party while in a transitory stage. Everyone knew that Yasumi was Haruhi's heir, but she was too young and inexperienced. Hence, Sasaki was brought on to hold the reigns while Yasumi grew into her own.>Yasumi Watahashi (2060-2110) - 50 years (7 terms as PM)She took over the Brigade on her 27th birthday, after expelling Sasaki. Haruhi's heir and protege, she was known for her government's focus on inventing time travel and researching the multiverse theory.
>>268708178U wot m8?
>>268599906Begone bewitching witch, for my eyes are only set on the lovely pig-tailed goddess (with Akane as my side bitch)!
>Maybe Ever After: By the epilogue, Haruhi and Koizumi are not an official couple, but he has made her aware of his feelings for her and she in turn has given him the ultimatum of getting her to reciprocate. While she hadn’t shown any prior interest, Haruhi does blush when Asakura comments that the challenge is Haruhi’s way of dodging having to answer him.Poor Koizumi.
>>268640055*twincest
>>268615609Yuki's job is to help Haruhi. The same can't be said about Rei.

>>268599906Will never forget about my wife.
As a zoomer I love haruhi to death. LNs are amazing, it's a shame she's not as popular as she was.
>>268716121Wonder when the new one will come out.
>>268717499Beauty
I still want an OVA for the upcoming light novel volume. Its isekai-esque nature, variety of scenarios, and the relative recency of its source material make it a very good candidate for the spot of latest Haruhi anime.
>>268605077>Remember meNo one does, which is probably why her and her anime's threads hit bumplimit at least once a month on /a/ alone desu.
>>268599906Endless Eight almost fucking killed me but it was worth it because the movie making arc was great.
>>268722163>movie... making arcBased.
>>268599906Sorry but I worship Homu Satan. Haruhi isn't relevant anymore.
The movie making arc might be my favorite part of the series so it's kind of hard when I say s2 is my favorite given that a good amount of it is endless eight or whatever.
What are some analysis on Haruhi Suzumiya that you liked?For me, it's this Tumblr entry talking about Koizumi and his feelings for Haruhi.https://heroesofhappiness.tumblr.com/post/185360385865/i-envy-you-ramblings-about-koizumi-andThere was also "Thoughts before The Intuition of Haruhi Suzumiya" by Angie Sutherland, but it went offline for some reason.The last replies to the locked Twitter account were made in early June, which makes me worry about what happened to the author.
>>268599906s3 never aaaaaaaaaa
>>268605323Don't ever post this abomination ever again. This is not Yuki.
The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya is about to leave Letterboxd's Top 250. Can't help but feel a bit sad, since it was a nice source of exposure for the series.
Reminder that Kyon wants Yuki to hang out more often with Itsuki.>Koizumi said what seems to be a follow-through for Nagato. You make a fine combination. Hanging out would be good for you. You should teach Nagato some hobbies other than reading.
Did you know that Mikuru once smiled while looking at Koizumi?
I wonder if this thread will manage to reach bump limit.
>>268728346Unlike your mom.

so many years have passed and there is still discussion about itof only a new anime would come along, it would hopefully respark the series popularity
>>268735063>anyways isn't avengers endgame in their top highest tooNo. It has a score of 3.9. Disappearance (at the very end of the top) has a 4.2 score.
>>268608511it strikes me how often the heater was mentioned in the LNs.
>>268735350It would also need new volumes to come out in a semi-regular basis.
>>268738351I'm more of the opinion that anything made now wouldn't hold up to the standard of the earlier produced seasons and movie. I just don't see it happening.

I'm not one for gay relationships. I'm pretty het, and avoid most yaoi. But,I really like ItsuKyon. Something about the bromance just hits all the right notes for me. But I have no idea why.
>>268745202I guess because their dynamic interesting?It should be noted that in the canon, koizumi openly admitted to kyon admires Haruhi, but he consideres kyon to be the only appropriate match
>>268599906>boomer shit that only boomers watched
>>268716121another zoomer haruhi fan? good to know there's others out there
I have my preferences, but I support any ship between SOS Brigade members.

>>268745753Hmm Mikuyuki?
>>268599906She's no goddess, just a mouth talker that alters probability. Easy to beat with Getter Rays.
>>2687458231. When Mikuru enters the SOS Brigade, she does not calm down until she sees Yuki. I know it's for other reason, but fuck it, I still will use it.2. There's official art of Haruhi & Kyon holding hands, and so do Mikuru & Yuki. Koizumi is all alone.

>>268658331It's kind of weird to see porn from this artist.
What did Kyoto Animation mean by this?>Haruhi pushed Asahina-san, who was standing awestruck next to her, towards the president, and then she grabbed his hand and placed it on Asahina-san’s breast.>“Kyaaa—!!” >“Wha!?” >Click! >At the sound of the two screaming, I clicked the camera shutter. >Haruhi grabbed Asahina-san, preventing her from escaping, while her other hand propelled the president’s hand harder into Asahina’s breast. >“Kyon! One more picture!” >I reluctantly pressed the shutter again. Asahina-san, and the nameless president, you have my sincerest apologies. Just as Haruhi was about to stuff the president’s hand under Asahina-san’s skirt, the president finally broke free.In the novel, Kyon takes the blackmail pictures. In the anime, Haruhi does.
>>268756754they get to have the whole computer club know that Haruhi has them by the balls. it was in the SOS brigade clubroom in the LN, if I remember correctly.
>>268756856I don't think there was anything in this context that would make it impossible for Kyon to take the pictures. It's the reason why I find the change so odd.
>>268599906>358 repliesA Haruhi thread close to reaching the bump limit? In the current year? I guess my tanabata wish is really coming true...
>>268757164I think it's harder to show Kyon's reluctance in that situation when it is all happening at once than Haruhi's malevolence. it would make Kyon look more complacent than he really was. just think about it as an animated sequence:most people are going to be staring at Mikuru's tiddies, so if you make Kyon make a face nobody will see it. if you want to get into his head you'll have to slow everything down and it'll be weird and belabored. it's one of the disadvantages of animated media.
Mikuru and Yuki are somewhat close during the Remote Island Syndrome saga.>"My gut tells me that the culprit is the master of this place. His first victim will probably be Mikuru.">"Eek!" >Asahina was really scared. She trembled like a little rabbit hearing the flapping of a hawk's wings and clutched at the skirt of Nagato, standing next to her. Nagato didn't say anything.This was adapted out from the anime, but they kept another scene where Yuki looks for Mikuru while she fainted.>Asahina was left to sleep on one of the double beds. Her sleeping face was enough to compel any passing-by prince to come and kiss her. But from her pained expression, she should be in a state of coma; it's such a pity. >Beside her sat Nagato as though watching over a coffin. Keep up the good work! Don't ever leave Asahina's side.
>>268599906I didn't vote for her.
>>268747003I just realized that in this art Yuki is taller than Mikuru. The latter is on tiptoes, whereas the former at least seems to not do the same.
>>268599906Why would I care about your shitty god or her series when I have science instead?
>>268745753Thoughts on threesomes?
>>268759309Except for those.
What would be some threesome ships in Haruhi, anyway?
>>268745202>But I have no idea why.There's people for everything. There are lesbian fujos, gay yurifags, and bisexual people who are into yaoi, yuri or both. Don't think too much about it.
I believe that Kyon is indeed God (the anti-SOS Brigade has no Kyon equivalent, how likely is it that Kyon met two girls with God-like powers?) but I don't like this because I feel it devaluates this moment from the film and the general idea it implies, which I really loved.
>>268760904Kyon isn’t God, he’s just God’s husbando
>>268745753I don’t mind as long as it’s not gay.
>>268759533Kyon with Haruhi and Mikuru is the most obvious oneIt’s almost the reason why Mikuru is even part of the brigade This one could be made canon and nobody would bat an eye
>>268757237I don't expect it to reach bump limit, but I do hope it reaches 400 replies.
>>268760904Sasaki has no powers, it was Kyouko Tachibana and Fujiwara who used Sasaki to bait Kyon into betraying Haruhi. Actually Sasaki is Kyon's equivalent, she's also an ordinary person caught up with weirdos, and loves to go on philosophical ramblings. In fact I think Kyon picked it up from her.
>>268740519I want a girl like her IRL, where can I find one?
>>268761312What exactly were they trying to do by getting kyon over to their side then?
>>268763117They want to get Haruhi to cooperate with them
>>268763117They wanted to crucify Haruhi and steal her powers. If they hadn't convinced/manipulated Kyon he would've ruined their plan (which, he did).
>>268763606I think them trying to kill haruhi was the last resort, fujiwara at least seems to want kyon to convince haruhi to rewrite the timeline to such a state where mikuru is his sister again

>>268774381The ones where they go to the swimming pool and bonfire at the end of the first season
>>268774929: )That's the endless eightif you'd notice that every episode is reanimated and redubbed, therefore it isn't a money-saving mesureRather, it is an art project that pays off eventuallyHint: In the movie
I wish there were localized light novels on print in my country. The LN series was licensed in the height of its popularity overseas, but the anime was never licensed here and thus when the series became less popular in Japan and the USA, the existing volumes went out of print very quickly. To make things worse, importing things from overseas here is a bitch. I could get some volumes, but not all of them, and I prefer to read physical books.
>>268768392imagine watching Haruhi as a kid and then realizing that they went to your highschool. or moving during highschool and slowly recognizing the town. that'd be fucking whack.
>>268777808Argentina?
>>268778375Hello janny
>>268599906has god abandoned us? or have we abandoned god?
>>268773788I honestly thought this post was bait made to keep the thread alive, mostly because everyone knows than that part consists of eight episodes rather than three. I was wrong, it was a genuine misunderstanding.
>>268764967Has any1 read the Haruhi LNs? Does the story go to shit after the parts that are covered by the anime/movie?
>>268781369It does not, however the LNs are still unfinished as a series, the release of the next one was announced last year
>>268599906How could I? Just re-watched every episode in chronological order for the 1st time in 10 years.It's still the goat.
>>268781558oh shit, I didn't know that. get hyped.
>>268704987Exactly. Perhaps not the life and death stuff, but he likes the excitement and thus her. That was one of the themes of the movie.
>>268716121mfw Haruhi is an old anime. Haruhi to you zoomers is like Magic Knight Rayearth for me. I'm just surprised (glad) that people still care enough to go back and watch things that came out when they were 5. It really is a magical series.
>>268599906My goddess? Never. I dropped the anime BECAUSE I couldn't stand her. Go and shill your religion elsewhere.
>>268782416I still don't know why there are people who hate the chronological order. I was introduced to the series with it, and ended up loving it.
>>268785499>I was born in it, moulded by it, I didn't realise the order was completely fucking retarded until I was already a man
>Haruhi on page 10Not on my watch
>>268599906I don't watch retro anime, sorry
>>268781558Honestly, I think the author considers book 11 to be the series finale. Everything he's written since has an air of "let's check in on Haruhi and friends for old times' sake".
It makes me sad that there is not much Haruhi/Mikuru yuri fanart.
If a third season were to happen, should they use new technology or stick to 2000s tech? In Yuki-chan there's a PlayStation Vita (when the source material has a PlayStation Portable IIRC), which indicates an upgrade.
>>268790326They need to stick to 2000s tech. The core audience for Haruhi S3 will be people who watched the original series as it aired. They need to play up the nostalgia for that particular group in order to get sales.

>>268626178Basically irrefutable. Haruhi is my favorite anime ever, but I basically refuse to show anyone who isn't either a mega retard or has read Aristotle, Plato, and Aquinas. Rewatching Endless 8 now btw.
>>268668390If you are a midwit, you will likely just thinks it's "good". I've never seen anyone who is genuinely retarded or brilliant dislike this show- most people who tend to thinks it's mid or overrated tend to be average or slightly above average intelligence, but not much higher. I would recommend, but with caveats for a first watch.1. S1 must be in broadcast order. This will seem baffling at first since it makes the show seem completely schizo, but it's necessary to let you see the show beyond just the story within.2. The movie must come after the seasons, and not before. It's tempting to jump right in since it's universally acclaimed, but I think you miss a lot from not watching the series first.3. Do not look up the story beforehand. The show seems very bog standard at first but quickly becomes fucking insane in a way that I don't think any other show has ever done. You lose the effect obviously if you know the twists beforehand.
>>268744977Is the size difference that big?
>>268740519I really like her, but I need to read the Ln again
Why are Haruhi and Koizumi so mean towards Kyon?>"A hot pot really hits the spot when it's winter! And it was a riot to see Kyon in that reindeer getup. Man, this day has been a blast!">You were the only person to appreciate that act, Tsuruya. Haruhi and Koizumi were smirking at me the entire time, while Asahina had covered her face halfway through and started to shake with mirth. Nagato was clearly wondering where the humor was, an exceedingly logical response. Honestly, the experience was so nerve-racking that I was dripping cold sweat the entire time. I clearly lacked the necessary talent for making people laugh. Not that I ever had any intention to become an entertainer, but whatever.Yuki and Mikuru had the decency to not laugh at his face.
>>268758433Yuki is definitely smaller though...

That said, it's still a lot of interesting reading for my fellow Haruhifags!
>>268760904Kyon is only the "key" I think, he gave the powers away, he can't do anything about that. It might have been subconscious.
>>268795028Thank you.>This got nuked sadly but I thought it was actually really interestingI know, I posted about it here, and I included a screenshot of the entire article.>>268725125
>>268795028Yeeeees, excellent.This will be an interesting read.Feel free to share more if you remember any : )
>>268781369I'd say the story after Disappearance is better than before Disappearance on average, you get a lot of nice narrative payoffs, satisfying character arcs and bits... I'm not sure if it reaches the same heights as Disappearance itself, but it definitely gets close with Surprise and I think a Surprise movie could actually beat Disappearance if done right (and I say that while holding Disappearance as one of my favorite movies of all times, I bought the BDs and all).Generally speaking the "worst" thing about the LNs is that sometimes the conclusions might feel a bit anticlimactic, I'm specifically thinking of Snowy Mountain Syndrome, it'd be a 10/10 side story but the ending isn't all that spectacular. Not all the time though, generally speaking you'd finish a novel and you'd get some really satisfying character beats. Intrigues would have been far less memorable if it didn't end with that really sweet speech by Kyon during the chocolate scene.Overall it's a great time and I hope they'll get adapted sometimes. They could have done something really cool. Back then I used to think they could redo the season 1 broadcast order or something like that: use Intrigues as a "main" story and use some of the side stories to spice things up.
>Speaking of which, do you ever notice how there are never any depicted parents, and extremely few adults in general, throughout this series? If there wasn't occasional reference to them, you'd be justified in thinking that this is a world where children just pop into being of their own volition. This is one of the things that's most attractive about it, to me at least: more fundamental than Haruhi's powers, more basic than the presence of the paranormal and the necessary masquerade disguising it, the core law of this series is individuation. Every single aspect of this series is dedicated to who the characters are in and for themselves, and for their chosen relationships. It avoids preëstablished necessity as often as possible; the necessity of the series is almost entirely determined by the characters' own selves and actions.How many times are SOS Brigade parents mentioned in the many anime? I can think of the stadium flashback Haruhi had, Kyon narrating what happened after he woke up in the movie, and pic related.
>>268795109>>268725125Kek I thought those first lines were familiar. Now I know why. Good job screenshotting it before it went down, I hope the author didn't have something bad happen to them...>>268795141Currently down (Kadokawa) but these were the 100 JP celebrities commenting on Haruhi's comeback https://sneakerbunko.jp/haruhi/special/comment100/Very heartwarming! You can still see the list of celebrities including Fujimoto (CSM) and more using the archive https://archive.is/Eso9TYou can also extract the actual quotes by inspecting the HTML. The modals that show up by clicking are broken on the archive, so you have to do this.We've all seen this once before, but the real life pictures with the Haruhi equivalents http://tanasinn.info/wiki/Stalking_Haruhi_SuzumiyaI might have more somewhere, but sadly real life got in the way of my Haruhifagging lately. I'll commit more to it once I return to form, this is the H/a/ruhi way of doing things after all.
>>268795197Actually Kyon occasionally talks about his family life, usually about his sister and mom.
>>268795320Great. I Will download every page you linked aswell as this thread for preservation once it reaches the archive.If you have some more things in mind that could be worth preserving, link them.
>>268795339>usually about his sisterWell, she has screen time. Parents in general terms do not seem to, tho. Reason why I was interested in specific mentions.
>>268795421I'm pretty sure you'll find some stuff about his mom in Surprise or Indignation. She doesn't get screentime, though, it's just Kyon talking about it.Good thing he didn't get found out by Haruhi's parents during Surprise, or it might have ended differently lol.
>>268795397I would like to write some extension or program that could archive all of my bookmarks to prevent stuff like that from happening anymore someday. Might be a bit of a headache with all these JS only pages but screenshots would be fine as well...Not articles related and more blogfaggotry, but Haruhi has always been with me as an inspiration, when things were easy or tough. Even when I left the house to live alone in another country I was rewatching Disappearance and it always made me feel at home. For me, Haruhi is a force of nature and represents a platonic ideal of "life". Pic related is another anon talking about what the series means to him, and I definitely get his point. I might not have lived up to all the expectations I set up for myself but Haruhi will always inspire me to try again and seek more. No other work does that for me (except maybe Akagi). Kinda cheesy post but some oldfags might share that feeling, or something similar.
>>268795574Saving pages is pretty simple really.On this browser at least it's left click + Save as...(Crtl+S) pic relatedI think this option is present in pretty much every browser, it spits up a folder with pics and videos along with the html file.
>>268795720Forgot to add the pic, sry
>>268795720Yeah that's what I usually do but it's kinda tricky how the rendering goes once you open them again, sometimes it breaks sometimes it doesn't... but at least everything relevant should be there, so a simple save should be enough for the time being.

>>268705510i'm 26 and been jerking off to louise, index, and kasumi sensei since i was 10. i think that was about 2009. it's crazy how time has gone by. but the first series i ever watched even if they're "shit" i guess are my all time favorites. my taste in the girls have amplified and i'm lucky to have a gf that cosplays my flatty dream girls. even she's into all of it and i got her into anime shit when the pandemic hit since she's tiktok brained. was able to steer her away from that animecore crap too. so the figures and merch is safe from looking like oversaturated piss on some insta reel while i get to smell her ass in striped panties as she dresses up in school days cosplay / buruma and school swimsuit. imagine not having good taste and overthinking everything like a moralist cuck. i can't believe i'm in the same generation as all these idiots. but it's not like i fully relate to millenials on everything either. fun thoughts!

>>268794487>Yukiwhomst can't laugh
>>268785499Chronological is great.With the exception that the movie episode should still be watched first, like how the season 1 dvds presented the series.
>>268790326It should stick to how it was. People can understand the concept that a show is set is the past perfectly fine.It was so weird rereading the Cardcaptor sequel and it claims to be set 6 months after the final scene of the original but suddenly everyone has late 2010s phones.
>>268600663*Tosses the food into the ground*
>>268790899>>268800382I personally don't mind a floating timeline, but I wanted opinions.
>>268801724Floating timelines make sense for long running series that are trying to go on forever, i.e. superhero comics and the simpsons.But for something like Haruhi, don't bother.
>>268802437That's not really the same, those series mostly run on status quo while haruhi has an overarching plot, a nonchronological timeline in haruhi's case was an artistic choice to increase the mystery and engage the audience's minds
>>268757670Who killed that dude tho? he DIED you know?
>>268790326Just reboot the damn series. New animation studio, start from the beginning, and adapt everything up to Surprise. And just hope to GOD that Tanigawa gets off his ass and finish the damn story.

>>268810575Why?
>>268599906Thank you to all the gods who kept this thread alive for so long.
>>268810692Data caps.
>>268810866Quick, post as many 3.99 MiB images as possible.
Thread almost dead? Time for some schizoposting.All of the members of the SOS Brigade all see Haruhi as fundamentally outside of the “norm” of existence. However, all four of them have different interpretations of what is the essence of “Haruhi” and the source of her powers. In this same way, based on the information that becomes more relevant within the LNs, it would appear that, in order of who is “most” correct on “what” Haruhi is, we can organize them from “least accurate and comprehensive interpretation” to “most accurate and comprehensive interpretation”.
>>268811454The least comprehensive interpretation comes from Asahina Mikuru’s faction. According to this faction, Haruhi is a temporal anomaly whose radical effect on time, particularly as it relates to time travel, has shifted reality in such a way that things that have existed or will exist can come into existence in her “present” simply by the nature of her existence. While this would help explain the very unusual occurrences that occur around her, it doesn’t particularly justify the timing of the “will” that seems to ensure that these things take place when she wants them, and it is predicated on the assumption that something that is imaginable to exist must have necessarily existed or will exist at some point in the future. In other words, if a unicorn were to appear because Haruhi wished it so, the assumption must be that at some point in the history of the universe, unicorns as Haruhi envision them on a subconscious level must have existed. When translated to our world, this argument can best be understood as a mix between rational materialism and scientism. Under this system, the “magic” or unknown or the universe is strictly “knowable” by humanity, and it is only a matter of time until things that are presently unknown or unknowable becomes known or knowable to humanity. It also for this reason that Haruhi is viewed as nothing particularly special in themselves. Haruhi is considered to be a focal point of an unusual event, rather than having any degree of “universal agency” that dictates causes and effects against the universe.
Now that we've reached bump limit, I want to say I was surprised I was not called a faggot, a tranny or a yurifaggot.And that I'm glad I bumped the thread from page 10 more 4 times in a row.
>>268811489The next interpretation comes from Yuki Nagato’s faction, the Data Integration Thought Entity (DITE). This hivemind of “data” is fundamentally more “robotic” in its interpretation of reality, but unlike in Mikuru’s faction, it only perceives information as “data” and nothing more. To this end, the only real interpretation of the DITE on the nature of Haruhi is that she is not only a repository of an insane amount of data, but that this data may hold the key to “autoevolution”- a process in which data becomes capable of creating and refining itself without outside input. There is no real attachment in any way from the DITE on any speculation on Haruhi other than this data output and what it may mean for them. The closest analogue in our world would be something closer to a mechanical realist. While the universe is fundamentally thought to be “machine-like”, there is allowable room for things that are outside of the understandable norm. However, while the mechanical realists allow for the potential of the unknowable, it does not make any effort to realistically pursue it for its own sake, and rather to only value things in which material value can be derived. Haruhi is considered special inherently in this worldview, but there is a large amount of comprehensive non-quantifiable information that is intentionally left out of the complete “understanding” of her.
>>268811454>>268811489I want this anon to complete his schizopost
>>268811516Following Yuki’s faction comes Koizumi’s faction, which treats Haruhi as the essential God of the universe. Based on the conversations Kyon has with Koizumi, we can see that he is a fairly analytical person who has arrived at the conclusion that Haruhi is God by rational deduction and a series of “most likely” hypotheticals. In other words, Koizumi views Haruhi as a necessarily philosophical outcome to the craziness in the world, and given the events of the show and the LNs, his argument appears to have the most logic behind it. Given the concurrent coincidences that bend to Haruhi’s desires, the sudden apparent simultaneous existence of multiple things that Haruhi desires at just the turning point in which she desires them, and the inherent “impossibility made reality” that seems to define all of the shenanigans in which the SOS Brigade finds themselves, Koizumi’s philosophy appears to be the most correct. However, at the core of this philosophy is a detached coldness and resignation to existence as it is. There is no interest in attempting to “know” Haruhi outside of what is the most rational basis of doing so. All of this seems to boil down to a form of deism with leanings towards utilitarianism. While this worldview arrives at the existence of God through logic, it depersonalizes man’s relationship with Him (or in the Haruhi-verse, with Her) to a level in which we are the unfortunate playthings of one far greater than us. While Koizumi himself appears to have personal feelings towards Haruhi, he refuses to act on them, or to really put himself or existence at risk in order to do what is best for her.
>>268811549The last “faction”, if you can call it that, is simply Kyon himself. Kyon has no pretentions on understanding Haruhi, and more often than not finds her frustrating and her whims and desires inscrutable. However, while Kyon appears to be the most outwardly antagonistic towards Haruhi, he is unquestionably the one who cares the most deeply for her as she is. While the rest of the SOS Brigade largely views Haruhi in relation to gaining something from her or protecting something from her, Kyon is the only one who views her as good by nature. When presented multiple opportunities of changing her or the world around her in such a way that he would be personally benefit, he rejects it each time in favor of the world where she is who she is. When asked to use his position as a potential love interest in order to manipulate her to make life easier for the rest of the crew, he instead encourages her interests even at the cost of creating even more chaos in the process. Ultimately, Kyon doesn’t really understand her, but he trusts her on a fundamental level that she will “will” the best. The analogue to this is most closely understood to be a modified Platonism/ Aristotelianism or Thomism. While the fundamental desire to know more is there, the orientation towards the “good” is the foremost goal, and the focus on conducting virtue simply for the good of virtue is the primary aim.
>>268811489>>268811516>>268811549And kyon's interpretation?
>>268811580All of this is to say that the good life is obtained by becoming Kyon and finding Haruhi.See you all in the next thread, faggots.
>>268811580One again ahead of me, excellent theorypost to end off the thread.It was worth keeping it alive just for this : )
>>268811454>>268811489>>268811516>>268811549>>268811580Were you saving that for the bump limit?
>>268811772It appears to be the case
I'll note that mechanical materialists needing a "god" is closely tied to the criticisms dialectical materialists (marxists-leninists) presented against them in the 1920s soviet philosophical debates, where they claimed that the mechanicst were in fact idealists because a purely mechanical universe requires and external starting force, a "prime mover" i.e. god, an idealist concept>>268811516
>>268811772Not intentionally, this is just the first time I felt motivated to post it. Might post again if another thread gets made, or someone can archive it. Haruhi is my favorite anime specifically because I think it has one of the best metanarratives in the 21st century, so I like to write about it just for myself in my free time.
>>268811832I'm glad their faith paid off. I was hoping at least 400 replies, but I didn't expect a bump limit (>>268761077).
>>268811960haruhikami-sama was feeling generous today
When was the last time a Haruhi thread reached bump limit?
>>268811900Their critiques were also derived from lenin's "Materialism and Empiro-criticism" and Engels's "Dialectics of nature"
>>268812024Guh, if Kyon's views were elaborated upon they could make haruhi a marxist work
>>268667860>Anons are pointing out interesting themes I hadn't noticed beforeWhich themes?
>>268812075Kyon's change in reaction to haruhi's smile for instance
>>268812102Which post mentions that?
>>268812102Koizumi's*
>>268812102>>268812140What about Haruhi or Mikuru?
>>268812065I don't think so. Kyon doesn't believe in "man" as an ontological good (if such a thing exists in Marxism) and he consistently shows favoritism towards those closest to him, both of which are antithetical to Marxism.
>>268812175Marxism reject anything as an objective good, rather it says as a consequence of their existence humans and life in general has throughevolution developed an instinct for survival and therefrom material interests arise.Marxism generally rejects any form of objective morality and idealist notions and seeks to replace them with scientific truth for the furtherence of human material interests
>>268812175What you are suggesting as a marxist principle was a proposal in the early days of the october revolution by mechanical materialists (bogdanov, luchansky and the like) to introduce a "man as god" religion, called godbuilding, as a way to displace the influence of the orthodox church and religion in general. Simular to the cult of reason in revolutionary france.The party derided the idea in favor of religious tolerance and the displacment of its influence via education.
>>268812416Its eventual displacment primarily via education.*
>>268660965One could say they are as queer as a clockwork orange.
