This sounds about right.

I watched it back then with my wife, since she likes slice of life stuff and I like the supernatural mystery stuff. I remember thinking the first season was good, but skipped half the second season because of that bullshit. The movie was good though.

It wasn't even shenanigans, the author just sort of... has mental health stuff going on and couldn't keep to any sort of release schedule. And without new content coming out, people moved on and even if they didn't forget about it they just didn't really have a reason to recommend it after a certain point. It's unfortunate but it happens.

No, it completely changed my tastes in anime and there basically hasn't been anything like it since in terms of character dynamics between the main couple. The closest I've seen is Bunny Senpai, and only for the first few episodes.

I still go back and watch the first few eps every once in a while and they completely hold up. When I think of anime, I think of Kyon walking up the hill in the first episode and learning about Yuki in her apartment later.

I watched it sometime after the peak of its popularity and didnt think it was amazing, but it was pretty alright. I also watched it in chronological order which everyone said was so much better, but it kind of ruined the pacing.

Pretty good show for most of the way (fuck the Endless Eight) but the movie was awesome.

Also, probably a hot take, but I liked the Yuki Nagato spin-off. It wasn't as good, but I still enjoyed it.

Yes. Except endless 8.

People say you should watch 2 episodes but honestly you can probably just skip the entire thing.

Nah, it's kinda important to the movie. I would say watch part 1, 2, and 8 to get the gist of it.

I did watch all 8 and it's not worth it >_>

It doesn't have any impact on Disappearance except for a one liner from Kyon when he's kicking himself for being an idiot.

I second this. Watching the first episode, one of the middle episodes (I don't think it really matters which), and the last episode gets the point of that arc across perfectly.

If you're going to watch any episodes, it should be 1, 7, and 8.

Unless you just watch the whole thing because you hate yourself or something.

Does it really matter which of the middle episodes you watch? They all accomplish the same purpose in the end.

*E8 arc spoilers*

Part 1 = The summer happens, no one realizes they're in a loop
Part 2 = The summer happens again, Kyon realizes they're in a loop, but he can't stop it (and then this part is repeated 6 times for some god-forsaken reason)
Part 3 = The summer happens again, Kyon realizes they're in a loop, and he finally figures out how to break out of it

So whether you watch 1-2-8, 1-7-8, or whatever, you still get pretty much the same experience.

The ending of episodes 2-7 get progressively more different. In 2 Kyon just kind of gives up. Then he starts chasing Haruhi and so on until you get to 7 which has the most dramatic ending which is why I recommend 7 even though they're all basically the same.

You'd be surprised, I have quite a few on my e reader (Violet Evergarden, Hyouka, Zaregoto)

Though Haruhi has official translations up to Vol 11, which are the ones I read
