Alright, I suppose it's a pretty popular show. However.. I know not everybody has seen it. For those of you that haven't:
Kyoto has done it again! It is definitely a must watch along with classics like
Chobits.
Pic: Notice that she's the cute brunette on our banner.
Genre: Comedy, and Sci-Fi. It does a good job being comical, but the storyline can get very dramatic - and of course, the action scenes are very amazing. It also has the Slice of Life thing going for it, though their everday school adventures aren't too terribly normal x)
Synopsis: The show is narrarated by the cynical Kyon, who stopped believing in things like ghosts, espers, aliens, time travelers and the like after graduating from middle school. Ironically enough, on the first day of high school a wtfbbqbeautiful girl named Haruhi Suzumiya introduces herself as having "no interest in ordinary humans". She asks for any 'aliens, time travelers, sliders or espers' to join her. She also happens to sit behind Kyon. Though he stopped believing in such entities, he is curious about her and attempts conversation.
Soon, his conversing with her becomes a daily event: he seems to also be the only person that can hold any kind of conversation with her.
Through observation and conversation he learns many weird mannerisms about Haruhi: She has tried every club in the school and quit them soon after (usually the same day) because they were boring - even though she was begged to stay in. When Kyon comments about Haruhi's joining every club in school and then quitting he unwittingly gives Haruhi an idea to start her own after school club. Thereafter Kyon and several other interesting individuals find themselves dragged, literally, into the S.O.S. Brigade.**
** It actually is the
Save our world by Overloading it with fun Suzumiya Haruhi's Brigade, if you were wondering.
As for a rating, this is officially my sixth (completed)

Both the intro and ending songs are awesome, both in the actual songs and in the clips/animation shown. (The cheering, dancing/Kyon with his back to you part is just pure epic win. I've seen that part so many times, lolll)
Anyways, I implore you all to watch this if you haven't!
