    Haruhi: I didn’t like the characterization and being an almost-supernatural being, has no need for character development. Giving her less screentime in the Disappaerance movie noticeably increased my enjoyment of it

      But the movie wouldn’t be so enjoyable if you hadn’t watched the series first. The Haruhi Suzumiya release order is a work of art in itself, from the multiple watch orders to Endless Eight.

        That’s why I didn’t drop the original series lol, but it was a chore (I did watch the entire Endless Eight).

      Honestly, I could barely get through a single episode of the show just because of how awful Haruhi is. I don’t get how it has such a large following

        At the time it aired, it was unprecedented and groundbreaking. It was like when SAO or AOT started, to a lesser extent.
