You have to have it in your "My Anime" list under Seen Some or Seen all (Or will not finish, actually). Then there is an option to 'rate' the anime selected in the encyclopedia. |

I'm not too confident about a state side release, though. As it stands, even though it's garnered an incredible cult following, it's still fairly niche, even in the community. There's also no garantee of the novel doing as well here as Vampire Hunter D has. Of course, we'll just have to wait and see.
Haruhiism, booiiiiiiii! |

Yep, second Episode out and it was in the top ten, damn fine, it WILL go to #1 on ANN top anime. Just hate it when you get fools who do "Worst Ever" to lower the ratings, it sucks...What is the f@#king Point. |

Impressive. I didn't think the anime was all that great. Maybe this means I need to look harder?

I think we should summon Haruhi here! The anime gets weirder and weirder everyday, and I'm pretty sure she'll be investigating as to why this novel/anime has such tremendous impact
 she likes this mysterious stuff as we all know.

Nah, she'll just say it's not weird enough for her. And in general, I think it really is jumping the gun to give the anime a rating before it's over. For all you know, they might pull a Hellsing with the ending, THEN what kind of ranking will it deserve?

As for me, I'm going to wait for more episodes to see if it's that real good. (But the first episodes are really interesting
 ).

While I do love the show so far, I think it's one of the most overrated/hyped ones I've seen in a while. I thought it was just animenfo...but apparently I was wrong.
 I don't mean to sound rude or anything,but I have seen a countless amount of anime released between this year and the last that had way better starting episodes,and haven't received even half the hype The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya has. I don't know if the novels have anything to do with it, but I kind of feel disappointed that so many good anime were overlooked,while Haruhi seems to already be the latest rage...

I still don't understand why it appeals so much, but maybe I ought to read Zac's preview over again. For some reason, the plot description doesn't really grab me in. Maybe I should just see it if it ever comes my way. '_'

It's a good thing you are able to change your ratings of series. I like to rate things after I've seen a few episodes and then re-rate it after I've seen the entire series. |

Honestly, there won't be a plot description that will do this series justice anytime soon. It's like trying to describe the plot of FLCL. It's really simple when you write it down and read it, but when all is said and done there's much more there than you can really put into words (as with many other series). As for its appeal, I've already mentioned FLCL, so if you have any knowledge of that anime then you can certainly get an idea of how unusual it might be. It's simply not the norm (both in its sharp presentation and unusual execution), and, to a jaded anime fan, that's like a gift from heaven. Also, thanks to the fact that its based on the light novel series of the same name, it has a lot of added depth under its surface, giving people who love mysteries a chance to really sink their teeth into all the available information (thus the popularity of the novels). |

Haruhi should NOT be judged by its first episode. All throughout it you're thinking "WTF man!" until the end and then you're thinking "now that's new." The next 4 eps (eps 1-5 have been released on fansub so far) just grind you in deeper and make you laugh harder at the hilarity of it. Sure you have some of your stereotypical character archetypes....but then the plot and story just blows it all out of the water such that your characters may seem to be over-used archetypes....until you actually pay attention and see how exaggerated and twisted the anime makes them. It's absolutely WONDERFUL. This is the first series I've seen in a while where I honestly CANNOT tell you what's going to happen next. Even with some of the really good anime I can make reasonable guesses, but this one really leaves me scratching my head, and it's not because any sort of mediocrity prevents me from being able to tell what's going to be pulled next, it's that it's uniqueness in telling the story way out of order in chronology, and keeping it fairly linear in character development is fairly unique, and it's working well. Plus, with the Asahina, Nagato, Kyon, Haruhi, and Koichi, how can you resist watching? All have me laughing or chuckling throughout the entire episode, each episode. And Haruhi herself is one of THE most unique characters I've ever seen. I rate this series as absolutely BRILLIANT. |

You know, you really should decide whether to translate fungai (憤慨) as "resentment" or "indignation". You can't have it both ways.
I vote for the latter, by the way -- for various reasons. - abunai |

This may sound odd, but MSH really grabbed my attention with its opening and, even moreso, with its closing. The animation is excellent and that song gets stuck in my head every time I hear it. I've sat there and just watched the closer four or five times in a row because it's so much fun. Kind of like the closing for the current season of Bleach...oy, it's so cute!
