I'm just wandering if anyone else has seen this very hilarious anime?

Probably one of my fav anime's i'm watching atm, the artwork is excellent, the character's are great and the ending theme song/ending video own.

anyway, here's the spoiler free plot for anyone who doesn't know about it?

QUOTE
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya follows the high school life of Haruhi Suzumiya and those who are caught up in her antics. While Haruhi is the central character to the plot, the story is told from the point of view of Kyon, one of Haruhi's classmates.

Kyon is a first year in high school who has just recently been able to leave his fantasies of espers, time travelers, and aliens behind him along with middle school. However, when he chooses to speak to one eccentric girl by the name of Haruhi Suzumiya on the first day of high school, he unwittingly sets off a chain of events which drags him into situations entirely different from the real world in which he had convinced himself he was a part of. This turns his world nearly upside down as he is drawn further into a world eerily like the fantasies he had just managed to outgrow, with Haruhi Suzumiya at the center of it all.

Searching for a group that interests her, Haruhi joins and quits every club in school finding only dissatisfaction. Kyon makes a snide remark about her actions and accidentally provides Haruhi the inspiration to create a club of her own. To help start the club, Haruhi forcefully drafts Kyon, who only stays in the club to protect (or try to protect) other helpless victims of Haruhi's "voluntary arrests". However, as the story progresses it is revealed that each of these supposedly "helpless victims" has a specific reason to be there.

the editing stuff and overall crappiness of the movie was hilarious.

like when mikurun jumps to dodge the beam she does a little jump and lands then it changes to the angle to make it seem like she jumped really far.

or how so many people were laughing during their parts and certain people being in the background when they shouldn't.

laugh.gif top notch episode.

Damn LOL. What a stroke of luck for Kyon who was trying to talk to Haruhi lol. He got moved around class and she got the same place as before but this time next to the window laugh.gif Wow shes freaky blink.gif Changing in the middle of a class and ending up having the classmates kick all the guys out wacko.gif Not talking at all but only when Kyon tries to get her to start a convo.

edit: Holly crap is she ever impulsive.

Stargazer

Saw it, the first few eps were excellent, then it went down the drain.
Stargazer
I quite liked the entire series.

but i've gone onto more anime like Naruto and Full Metal Panic.
Oblisk
Evangelion is the best anime series ever created.
Stargazer
bloody oath my friend.

I take it you've seen the movie? god I love the part where Asuka rips apart the Eva Series.

oh and that "cow" angel was sweet, the one that cut off Unit 02's arms then head, and cut Unit 00's head in half.

too bad there aren't alot more series like that around now...
Oblisk
I'm a big Eva fan, I own the platium boxset + movies. Too bad North America will never get a Renewal version of the movies (ADV didnt have enough money to license the movies).
Stargazer
aren't they supposedly releasing more movies over the years?

haha, that's an awesome fake commercial.

but seriously, what would you do if someone like uwe boll got to direct it? and keep in mind this is the guy who made Bloodrayne, House of the Dead and Alone in the Dark.
