ok so one of my new mutuals has been haruhiposting a lot… and it's christmas…

i try to resist, but it is impossible. there is only one option.

i have to properly watch/rewatch haruhi for the first time in thirteen years. the whole thing, in s2 airing order

let's go

@hikari even though it's fairly popular I still think haruhi is one of the most underrated anime ever made

@hikari it's been a while since I've watched it but some thoughts:

1. I really enjoy the moments of serenity where for minutes nothing happens and we just hear background noise of a normal busy after school day. It is Lynchian in framing but instead of causing anxiety it gives a sense of coziness.

@hikari
2. As someone who is often restless and day dreams about fantastical things happening, I see the show as a melange of "what if these day dreams are all true" and the "mundane" everyday life that turns out to be just as exciting
