Good review, but I found myself almost wanting to stop part-way because of all the grammar errors.

I'm curious as to what parts you fell asleep during.

Probably that episode where Kyon has to find a heater for the clubroom.
I wanted to be a writer because there were no requirements. All you had to say was, "I am a writer,". And you were.

Yep, that episode was it. English is not my native, sorry for all the grammar errors.

Love or Hate It...
Haruhi Suzumiya is an unique series.
Having saw it without any previous knowledge, the marketing made me believe that it was a highschool echi-romcom. Oh, how wrong I was. The first three episodes looked like one, but then...
Haruhi Suzumiya is the best Anime I have watched in my whole life. Haruhi Suzumiya is also the worst Anime I have watched in my whole life.
The first season constantly swap between Incredibly Funny and Incredibly Boring. Some moments are brilliant, and I found myself laughing like I never had done in years, but some others episodes made left the TV, go to eat cookies, and then go back to see if something interesting happened. Heck, I even fell sleeps 3 times while watching the series. But then again, I also fell of my seat of laughter two times in the series.
After finishing the anime I started reading the books. Thet added mystery, psychological, complex science-fiction and Character Development plus the comedy and fantasy that had before, making an unique and Wonderful mix, IMO. It was so good for me, that I took again Literature and Drawing studies, activities I had left after believing that everything was cliché and boring.
Now, a balance:
+
- Clever mixing of genres, clichés and stereotypes, reconstructing them into an interesting story.
- Wonderful narration, really reflecting the way that a cynical teenager thinks.
- Great development that takes characters that looked uninteresting to complex beings.
- Gorgeous animation and great use of colour in the Anime.
- Full of mathematical, philosophical and psychological references.
+-- Illustrations on the books vary between great and mediocre
- Humour will be great for some people, meh for other and offensive for others.
- Music can be either very annoying or great for dancing, depending on your tastes.
-
