Kaze talks about one of Kyoto Animation's most iconic works, The Disappearance Of Haruhi Suzumiya.
I want to thank u/TeraVonen for his incredibly insightful and well researched post on Reddit titled "The Perception of Haruhi Suzumiya". It definitely helped me when making this video, giving me a better understanding behind the impact of The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya, especially when it originally aired in 2006.

"...to fully understand the dissapearence of Haruhi Suzumiya, is to feel this boredom; to feel this frustation; to have the memory of going through this." (Endless 8) Never have I felt closer to anyone about this theme than right now. These have been my exact thoughts about Endless 8 and Dissapearance, to the letter. Thank you for putting them in a video. Also, small note: Haruhi mentioned in the "first" ep. (see what iI did there?) that she wanted to meet aliens, time-travelers, ESPers, *and sliders*. So in the show we got aliens (Yuki), time-travelers (Asahina), ESPers (Koizumi). And Kyon ended up filling the missing role by being the slider in the movie. And thus completing the roster of the SOS brigade. Or Haruhi just willed them all that way.

@VictorChen9 2 жыл бұрын

I was rewatching the series and realised that it was kyon who initiated the entire thing about believing in time travellers, aliens and espers, which got me thinking... Perhaps kyon was actually the God and not Haruhi? In not wanting to accept that time travellers, aliens and espers don't exist, he unwittingly created the pseudo God "Haruhi" that held his exact thoughts OK the matter and gave her powers (and hence the excuse of accountability) So the premise of the movie, that Nagato changed the world for kyon, is actually what kyon wanted initially (to have a taste of the normal life), but upon tasting the boredom of everyday life, wanted back? I remember watching this series many years ago. The silliness of the "slice of life" was quite relatable. The endless 8 arc was actually very enjoyable... After the first few episodes I was thinking "OK how long do they intend to do this" and I started to try and notice any subtle difference between the episodes. All in all, the series and the movies was one of my favorite anime of all time.

@IvoryMane 2 жыл бұрын

@@VictorChen9 I think that’s why it is told to him to not let Haruhi know. So long as he keeps this secret, he can live in this world. He’s the slider, if he feels bored with his life, the world will literally change. I also think he might be a little schizophrenic to create such a colorful world with his mind.

@kristinpie Жыл бұрын

You can tell he didn't watch Endless Eight when it first came out, because he's actually defending it as a good story. If he had watched this same horrid episode come out week after week for two full months (and they didn't announce they were doing this beforehand remember, this didn't leak and not one single person expected it would go on that long or even be a possibility for season 2) as you slowly realize this great series is dying before your eyes thanks to one of the biggest miscalculations of all time, he'd hate it as much as I do. It's perhaps the worst experience with any television series I've ever had, and I ended up being right because there still hasn't been a season 3 after more than 13 years and there almost certainly never will be. Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody was amazing, and the first Endless Eight episode was perfectly fine by itself, and then half the season just disappeared for nothing. Destroying this series forever just to justify Yuki's actions in the Disappearance wasn't worth it, and I know they only did this because they needed something to fill out the rest of the season and had no other viable options, not because they thought it was a good idea narratively.

What I got - fricking trash (excluding technical aspect of course). After watching all 2 seasons (including Endless Eight) and the movie I just can't understand why everyone loves Haruhi - she is a bitch who does not deserve any sympathy. I hoped it will be resolved in the movie and that is why I watched the show but in the end all returned as it was. God damn it!

I'm truly glad that people still break down this materpiece, I watched the film two days ago and I've somehow felt an emptiness since then which I'm trying to vent by watching every single video that is concerned with HS. As for the video, I've always found interesting the way in which anime portrays emotions. It's undoubtedly the appeal of the genre Slice of Life the objectivity when it comes to portraying emotions to the audience through the enhancement of the insight of the characters. From external sections such as the visuals and the sountracks through internal aspects in the way the series explores its themes, it's intense and gesticulated in order to emphasize that energy as well as it's subdued, motionless and gloomy when a more daunting situation merits it, still it manages to be subtle enough to keep that deep-rooted gist of the genre, which is deeply conveyed in the film all the way through Kyon's epiphany to Nagato's catharsis. Thanks for the video and the analysis , it shows your engagement with your channel as well as your respect towards the series :)

Thank you. I do really mean that: I needed this: not a review of the movie, not a comment about the anime, or the light novels, but a video essay which includes both the themes of the movie and of the anime as a whole. I've shown this movie (and the anime) to some special persons in my life, but, to all of them, Endless Eight was a death sentence, regarding the interest for the series. I wholeheartedly disagree: as you argue, I think it's one of the best arcs ever put to anime, and to story-telling itself I'd add. Is it possible to convey eternity? Could it be done? Is it boring to do and to experience it? Isn't it harrowing? And you even use several music pieces by The Midnight, and you even comment on the recent and tragic events that took place on Kyoto Animation. I couldn't be happier. Thank for making, writing, editing and showing us an outstanding video essay about one of my most beloved anime series ever. I miss so much this series and I don't think it'll ever return, but even though it doesn't, it has made such an impression to me, that I cherish it deeply and resonantes to me even to this day, even more than a decade since The Disapperance of Haruhi Suzumiya came to be.

I am one of those who painfully watched the endless eight at the time it was airing. Other people then thought it was unnecessary but I feel it is just right to highlight the reasons for Yuki’s breakdown. If viewers got bored what more for her who had to live through summer over and over for 16,000 times. Back then the reason people complain about the endless eight is because it took years for Haruhi Suzumiya to get a sequel. And 8 out of the 14 eps are same episodes. People want more light novel stuff crammed in that than the endless 8 repeat. The novel I think only took 1 volume for the endless eight arc. I read it btw as well the disappearance arc. The movie did so much justice for the novel.

An amazing recap of one of the best anime series of all time, which most of us haven't watched in a decade or so. Always felt the same about the Endless Eight arc, it was obvious upon watching that each ep was different, and wasn't a BS "cost-saving" animation like people claim. Hard to get through, but they didn't cut corners--they made it hard for it's own sake. I can't really exaggerate on just how perfectly balanced and well-rounded the entire anime (+ film) is. The slice of life + supernatural as you said, the plot complexity, the AMAZING ENGLISH DUB (one of the best of all time). You put into words something that I couldn't, and never realized till now, which is that one of the defining points of the series is Kyon's internal narrative. This, combined with the amazing Eng dub, makes the series "flow" in a way that no other anime does. It feels very natural. Nothing feels forced or cringe-inducing. Seriously, if anyone wants to get into anime but hates reading subtitles, WATCH THIS SERIES. Another thing is the soundtrack--both opening and closing sequences, as well as the background music, and the in-story band music (God Knows, Lost my Music). Easily one of the best OSTs in all of cinema. In addition to what you recapped in the video, all the background music and animation really gives you a sense of calm, "life goes on" sort of feeling, even if you're not a particularly anxious person. I highly recommend listening to "Itsuumo no Fuukei". Thanks for making OC about the series even 10 years later. Sad to see it over, but happy to see it happened.

Thank you! I’m really glad you enjoyed the video 🙂 Funny you should talk about the Dub. I’m not one to watch Dubs (nothing against them, I just prefer the original versions), but I remember putting the film on again shortly after watching it for the first time. And when I did, I decided to watch the Dub to give it a chance (I heard great things about the dub). And while I do prefer the sub, I throughly enjoyed the dub too. So yeah, you can’t really go wrong with either.

@anthropologyanomaly7298 4 жыл бұрын

@@KazeTalks No problem, man. Yeah I'm not trying to knock the sub. It's just that anime as a medium has a huge problem with dubbing, with a majority of dubs having non-sequitirs, unnatural pacing, and just becoming overall cringefests. Haruhi has none of that, so it's a perfect starting point for someone who just doesn't feel like reading subtitles. (Subs have other advantages, but they definitely take more mental resources and can distract from the overall story for some people) Admittedly this problem got better over the last decade or so, which actually just makes the Haruhi series even more exemplary, to have had such a great English dub all the way back in 2006.

@invasornabu 4 жыл бұрын

good take on the film and series. loved the endless eight too, best take on the time loop i've seen so far. most time it's just some hours or a day in the loop and the movies/series only show 2-3 short loops and later some key scenes to resolve the loop. but showing 8 mostly identical episodes made you really feel the loop and i have to copy your words, i've watched it like you in one go and had to imagine how frustrating it had been seeing it airing over 2 months. with this presentation style the loop had a much bigger emotional impact and meaning when someone said how many loops they're been in it. also loved the scene when he found haruhi, it was so well composed, the music, the silence and just seeing parts of her, the hair in slow mo and his hesitation. you described it really well.

I am actually in the middle of reading through the whole light novel series for the first time, and I am seeing the different elements that are used when telling a story in a book and telling it on screen, like how the rooftop scene just takes place in the hospital room, since the emotion has to be conveyed with descriptive language rather than visuals. Anyway, it’s a real shame what happened to Kyoto Animation. I certainly hope that they are able to rebuild and put out new masterpieces.

This is quite literally the best anime ever for its genre and what it does *period* Kind of a shame I couldn't finish watching The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya. Anyways I'll go find it on YT cause I watched it on YT like 6 or so tears ago. Also calling this a Masterpiece is a insult. Calling this *God's Work* is better despite being a bit of an understatement

I haven't watched this movie in over ten years and still remember that scene where we really get insight on Kyon's thought process on making "his choice". This film was ALWAYS underrated, I remember crying from how powerful the emotions are protrayed and feeling so hard for Nagato. Realizing how much she really endured, and how powerful Haruhi's disappearance really effected Kyon, and he really lost his composure. This movie made the show make SO much more sense, giving us a realistic view on it all from Nagato's view, and watching Kyon really develop and mature to be able to accept his life the way it was. I don't know why I had to watch this video tonight, but I am so glad I did. I haven't felt such powerful emotion from an anime since.

For me, what did it was the rooftop scene at the end with Kyon and Nagato. She was always the easy to forget and overlooked character because "yeah, she's just and android, she's got no feelings". But I'll be damned, she was hurting in the end, and just wanted enough. I honestly hated the Endless Eight first time watching, but after watching the movie, and seeing how she was the one behind the changes. It gave me an appreciation of the arc. So I agree, it's an amazing movie. The series didn't really resonate with me honestly, and I never understood why everyone was so hyped by the series, but I was glad I stuck with it purely because of the movie and the rewarding watch it is!!

I was completely unaware of I was watching but the storytelling of Haruhi Suzumiya grew on me as I got older. I was around my teens when I started watching the series, along with the movie. But for some reason, I found myself religiously watching the Disappearance every Christmas break around December 16. Around the same time where the movie took place. It resonated with me more on what it felt about making choices, growing up, and taking things for granted. To this day the movie is still super special to me. I will never forget what kinds of lessons I learned after re watching it for almost 10 years repeatedly now. To me this movie was a message, a message about the grandeur of life, the laughter we share among friends, and the moments to cherish it while it lasts. It may be just another memory, but it's what feeds our souls, making us who we are. As per the words of Adult Mikuru in the movie: "When it's all over, you'll feel it went by so fast, like you were living a beautiful dream."

Gorgeous animations, amazing and deep story, opressive atmosphere, unreal soundtrack. My mother, who never watched more than 2 episodes of the show, loved it. Everybody who watched it with me loved it and was deeply touched by it. The only other movie that gets under my skin like this one are Roman Holiday. It very tangibly influenced my life (as the show itself) for better. A bit of a personal story: when I watched this movie for the first time, pirated, in 2015, my computer speakers were busted, so I watched it with subtitles on and Pink Floyd playing in the backround (Division Bell and Calling All Stations). From that point on, some scenes are for me forever linked with very specific Pink Floyd songs, and every time I listen to them, that particular scene just plays in my head. That is the official soundtrack for me.

Good review. Haruhi isn't a masterpiece for nothing. Even the music is exceptional. For example, the bg music when Nagato on scene is not just sad but weirdly sad something is so alien. God knows is reach 100 millions views last year fyi. Btw, what do you think of the credit scene in the movie. And the scene when before Kyon leave Nagato apartment with adult Asahina. He said to alien Nagato wait for him and Haruhi in the room. And Nagato replied that shock Kyon. I felt like she was answer that not because of her duty but she chose to. It like the Clannad after story when Nagisa still chose MC in the end even though she knows how it will end. And the bitting scene is look like a kiss, romantic but sadly a kiss to say goodbye her first love.

@KazeTalks 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed the video 🙂 In regards to the credit scene, it seems to be the confirmation that Nagato isn’t at all emotionless. That she still wanted a life where she could connect with someone deeply in just a normal way. I wanted to touch upon that in my video, but I kind of already mentioned that aspect anyways, so trimmed it for time and pacing. In regards to the other scenes, since it’s the moment that Kyon learns that it was Nagato who changed the world, it definitely feels like Kyon becomes aware of the fact that he rejected Nagato. How Nagato is saying goodbye with the “kiss” and Kyon still tries to at least keep her in his life in some way. Which the end of the film shows us when he shows Nagato how much she means to him, despite it not being what she really wanted. So it’s adding even more to the established themes of the film, especially on a rewatch when you know everything that is going on. My opinion of course. It just goes to show how intricate the film really is.

Yeah... I like to add a game here... Disco Elysium... It's loads of more thicker, but got me easy at some points. P.s. the "fake world" was just that. Even if Yuki seems to not show emotions, this fake world was a shining light, and question at the same time, that would he want to be blinded by it, and settle in the darkness that it brings, or try to see what he might be able to find. Sure it's tough move, but being real takes bit more than that.
