The Enjoyment of Rewatching Haruhi Suzumiya

There are often debates on social media and internet forums about which version of a series is the best–the anime or the manga? No matter the series, there are those who’ll argue until they’re blue in the face about which version is better. It’s a conversation that is, unfortunately to those who spend an extensive time engaging in, ultimately subjective–unless if you’re talking about trainwrecks such as EX-ARM or Stella Jogakuin Koutou-ka C³-bu, but that’s at the extreme end of the spectrum.

This also applies to light novels. ‘Anime vs. Light Novel’ usually doesn’t get the traction ‘Anime vs. Manga’ does, but it would be silly to imply that the discussion isn’t had. Anime based on light novels typically give off a different vibe than anime based on manga. There are also key details that’ll tell what an anime is based on. An isekai anime is probably going to be based on a light novel. A sports anime is probably going to be based on a manga. Some genres work better in more visual mediums, while others work better in the written word. The point is that fans of a certain genre are going to be attracted to certain mediums.

In the case of the Haruhi Suzumiya series, there are light novels, manga, movies, and even video games to go along with the anime. The Haruhi anime is one of the most iconic anime this millennium. It was the anime for a while, which is really amazing considering it aired in the same year with other hits such as Death Note, Code Geass, and Black Lagoon. It hasn’t had the continued popularity of Death Note or Code Geass, but Haruhi is still a hallmark of a bygone era in anime fandom. 

When you think of Haruhi, you probably think of the anime. The thing is that it’s an adaptation–an adaptation of the Haruhi light novel series. While the light novel has sold millions of copies in Japan, I’ve rarely heard any Western anime fan talk about it. The Haruhi manga started being officially localized in English a year before the light novel was, even though it was originally released two years later than the light novel in Japan. I have to chalk that up to light novels not really having a following like manga does here.

Reading The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, the first volume of the eleven-volume series, I couldn’t help to think that I had a better time watching the Haruhi anime. Don’t get me wrong, the novel was good. A fun read. But compared to the anime, it’s just average.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is the chronological beginning of the Haruhi series–when the Haruhi anime was first aired, the order it was aired in was “Kyon order”. I tried looking into why that was, but all I got back was that it was aired that way so the anime would end on a high note (the end of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya arc). “Kyon order” is irrelevant to the plot–the only reason you’d want to watch it in that order is to ‘experience the anime the way it came out’. It’s nothing new, with the Haruhi light novel series also being released in non-sequential order, but it’s not the ideal way to watch Haruhi in my opinion at least.

“Haruhi order”, or the chronological order, is the way you’d watch the anime if you wanted it to make sense to you. Rather than it being spread throughout the season like in “Kyon order”, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is wrapped up by episode six. While I enjoy Kyoto Animation’s willingness to think outside the box when it comes to Haruhi, this watch order is the way it’s meant to be viewed.

Indeed, watching the Haruhi anime, I really had a good time. Airing in 2006, Haruhi was the beginning of KyoAni’s golden era. You only have to watch one episode to see why. The animation quality, while not the main draw to Haruhi, is still superb. Everyone–especially Haruhi, but also everyone, moves with so much life. Thankfully it doesn’t have the same art style as other KyoAni anime from the era such as Air, Kanon, and Clannad. That Key visual novel style is such an eyesore. In addition to excellent animation, there’s also the unforgettable soundtrack. Hits like this and this amplify any scene, and totally match the vibe that Haruhi gives off. The ability to adapt faithfully and not have to abridge it is a huge help as well. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is a fairly short novel, even by light novel standards. Six episodes are more than enough to adapt everything from the novel. KyoAni manages to fill that time and not make it feel like they’re stalling. It’s rare that a light novel volume gets six episodes to its name…most are lucky to get three!

Rewatching Haruhi, I have gained a newfound respect for it. Watching it the first time around, I liked the show, but I never got attached to it as so many others did. To be fair, I watched it originally in 2013, years after it was released, and years after it was ‘the big thing’ in the Western anime scene. The only thing different now, other than being ten years older and way more of an ‘anime veteran’ now, is that I have read the first Haruhi light novel. While the anime adapts pretty much everything from the light novel, reading the light novel first made the experience of watching the anime all that much better. It’s rare for me to improve my opinion of an anime by watching it the second time around–as time goes on and I get older (and presumingly more ‘mature’), my criteria for what I want to watch shifts. The dogshit harem anime I watched when I was a teenager and gave a 50/100 to would probably be a 20/100 today if I, for some reason, wanted to rewatch it. In the case of Haruhi, I gave it a 70/100 the first time around, but I can envision myself giving it a higher rating once the time comes.

For all intents and purposes, the anime adaptation of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya might be one of the best light novel adaptations I’ve ever seen. To be frank with you, as of writing this, I’m still only six episodes into my Haruhi rewatch–I’ll continue it after I’m done typing this, but six episodes in, I can already see KyoAni’s brilliance at work. Does that make Haruhi one of the best anime ever? Definitely not. Not yet at least (as I’m still only six episodes into my rewatch!).

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is only an average light novel, not due to any fault of its own. It’s the nature of light novels; the first volume is used to introduce characters and setting. It’s only the first chapter of what theoretically could be an endless saga. In the case of Haruhi, there have been ten volumes written after The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, meaning we’re not even really into the meat and potatoes of it plotwise. The rather short length, even by light novel standards, doesn’t help either. But what The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya lacks in length, it makes up in substance. A reason why the Haruhi anime adaptation is so good is that it had such inspired source material. KyoAni does have a history of making anime that’s better than the source material–the Haruhi anime doesn’t embellish its source material. So far, I’m enjoying my Haruhi rewatch. Hell, maybe this time I’ll watch all of Endless Eight.

PAGUDPUD ILOCOS NORTE

Pagudpud, nestled at the northernmost tip of Ilocos Norte, holds a special place in my heart every Christmas or summer when we travel to Ilocos. Fondly known as the ‘Boracay of the North,’ this coastal town boasts stunning white sand beaches, inviting crystal-clear waters, and a serene ambiance that sets it apart. But Pagudpud isn’t just about its pristine coastline; it offers much more to explore. One of its iconic features is Bangui Bay, home to Southeast Asia’s inaugural windmill farm, graced by 20 majestic wind turbines.

This idyllic destination offers tranquility away from bustling crowds, making it a hidden gem yet to be discovered by many. Amidst its beauty lies the captivating Blue Lagoon Pagudpud, reminiscent of the stunning vistas found in Palawan. The beach is adorned with various activities and delectable local cuisines. Personally, I cherished my first-time experiences on the speed boat and banana boat rides, both enjoyable and surprisingly affordable.

Highly recommended for those seeking the charm of Boracay and the allure of Palawan, Pagudpud is an affordable yet enchanting alternative. Exploring Ilocos Norte further unveils hidden treasures, such as the hot spring located along the highway, a serene retreat away from the bustle. Notably, the awe-inspiring windmill farm stands as a marvel accessible to all, offering a remarkable sight and experience.

Embarking on a journey through Ilocos is an incredible adventure where every penny spent is justified. Each locale carries a healing essence; personally, every visit has provided a sense of detachment from everyday stresses, allowing for complete rejuvenation amidst its serene beauty
