The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Seasons 1 & 2

Haruhi Suzumiya is an eccentricity who dislikes the ordinary. If she could just meet an alien, time-traveler, or esper, her life would be made! Unfortunately, things just aren’t interesting. Until she decides to shake things up with her own club.

The SOS Brigade is now open! First, they need a computer for their club, and Haruhi is determined to get one. But is extortion the answer? Next, they need more members. And that requires…bunny outfits?! Finally, Yuki opens up to Kyon with a bizarre reveal!

Kyon is still processing what Yuki told him. Meanwhile, Haruhi’s wish comes true! A mysterious transfer student appears and joins the club. With five members, they can finally start on…whatever they do! But what’s up with the crazy reveals from everyone?

Haruhi just wants something exciting to happen. But she doesn’t realize crazy things are happening all around her! Like when Ryoko suddenly attacks Kyon, claiming she’ll kill him. An epic, bizarre battle occurs, and things finally start to click for Kyon.

Haruhi gives some insight as to why she seeks out the unordinary. Itsuki finally has a chance to prove his Esper abilities. Kyon seeks answers to everyone’s intentions only to receive confusing, philosophical reasoning. What really happened three years ago?

Kyon and Haruhi go up against the dangerous situation he’d been warned about. An entirely new dimension that could mean the end of the world Kyon knows! And all because Haruhi is bored? How can Kyon convince her to change things back?

Things are back to normal. Well, as normal as life can be with Haruhi. So of course she wants them to enter…a baseball tournament?! But when the game doesn’t go the way Haruhi wants, danger lurks just around the corner. They’ll have to win, or else.

It’s Tanabata! But with Haruhi, making wishes won’t be simple. After bizarre theories and formulas, the club ties their wishes to the bamboo. Then, Mikuru offers to take Kyon somewhere…three years ago! Will he finally learn the truth of what happened?

A new visitor appears with Mikuru to enlist the SOS Brigade to find her missing boyfriend, who happens to be the computer club president that Haruhi extorted. As they go on the hunt for him, a closed space begins to form. Can they save him in time?

The SOS Brigade is going on a summer retreat. And what better way to enjoy a summer retreat than on a deserted island? But if the mysterious island mansion doesn’t live up to Haruhi’s expectation, will she cause another incident? Or something worse?

Haruhi gets her wish for a murder mystery when the master of the house is found dead! But an actual murder may be more than she can handle. As they work to solve the case, things become more and more dangerous. Can they figure it out?

Haruhi has a whole list of things they must do during the next two weeks of summer. A day at the pool, festivals, fireworks, bug catching, and so much more! But will they have enough time to tackle her ever growing list? Let alone handle stuff so…normal?

Summer vacation rewind? It’s their summer vacation fun all over again! Except…not? Something’s off. But what is it? It’s all in the little details. But what could it mean? What’s really going on in this hazy replay?

Same verse same as the first. The summer time loop continues. Kyon is slowly getting to the answer. If he could just figure out what Haruhi really wants to do! But until then, it’s a never-ending loop of summer activities. 15,499th time is the charm…right?

Ok, maybe the 15,513th time is the charm.

This time loop really is never-ending! Kyon keeps getting close, but each time he just can’t figure it out. Summer will last forever!

15,527th time? Maybe? Get it together Kyon, solve this endless summer!

This is the summer that never ends…

C’mon Kyon! It’s time to figure out how to end this time loop once and for all. Things are starting to become predictable for Kyon with constant feelings of déjà vu. Is doing homework the answer they’ve been missing this whole time?

The art festival is around the corner. And unfortunately, Haruhi and Kyon’s class picked the most boring thing to do—a survey! So obviously the SOS Brigade needs to come up with something amazing. Something like…a movie?!

The prep for the movie has begun! Except first they need to shoot a few commercials. After all, the props they got weren’t truly free. But after a bit of embarrassment, the movie can truly get started.

The movie is getting more and more bizarre. And poor Mikuru is at the mercy of Haruhi’s “script.” But when Haruhi starts demanding the impossible, will her wishes and whims come to fruition? What sort of trouble will this movie get them into?

Haruhi is starting to take things too far, and Kyon can’t take it anymore. While everyone else seems content to sit by and let her do what she wants, Kyon is finally putting his foot down. When tempers flare and emotions rise, will the group fall apart?

Haruhi’s wishes are starting to get a bit out of hand. Cherry blossoms in fall and a talking cat are just the beginning! Will they have to put an end to Haruhi’s imagination to save the world? Or perhaps it will all work out for the best. Time to finish this movie!

All of their hard work is finally done. The SOS Brigade shows off their feature film! A tale of battle waitresses from the future fighting against evil, alien witches, and teenage espers. It will probably make sense…right?

The day of the arts festival has arrived. Kyon takes time to wander around the festival, ignoring the fact that the SOS Brigade’s disaster of a film is playing for everyone at school. But just when things seem dull, Haruhi will be there to turn things up!

The computer club has challenged the SOS Brigade to a duel! If they win, they’ll score four brand-new laptops. The catch? They have to play a game made by the computer club and only have a week to learn. Do they have what it takes to win?

Haruhi sends Kyon to pick up a free heater and takes advantage of him being away to make Mikuru pose for a DVD cover. Take a peek at how the club plays when Kyon is away!
