Fuck logic, that shit is boring, lame and does not always support my opinions.

Yay, second post!

Personally, I can relate more to Kyon, also his negative-nancy attitude in comparison to Haruhi's constant GOGOGO is quite refreshing to me.

Good show! :D ^_^
Party Hard!

Hai. =3

I like Yuki. She smart.
Pretty much what I was gonna say.

Yuki Nagato ftw

"That's what a gentleman does."
lol

EFitTrainr

I like food.

Yugi

Started reading the Manga.

Not that bad, I guess its something in the anime that makes people like it so much.

SlowPokemon

I don't have any experience with the manga, but the light novels are really good overviews of the show (and actually what the show is based on).

Yukiiii.

Also, SocialFox, I don't think the manga does the intellectual aspects much justice, but that's just me.  You're probably better off with the show.  This is my own personal preference, but I feel that for what the show covers, it's better than the light novels.  As the light novels progress however, various philosophical ideas and character development improve significantly.  So be sure to start reading them if you choose to watch the show!  The show and the movie take parts randomly from the first 5 novels however, I believe, so you might have to do a bit of scouring if you do that.  Good luck and I hope you enjoy the rest of Melancholy!

Also, shadowkirby, A+++++++++.

Taniguchi is the greatest XD

I would agree with that (but again, have not read the manga, only seen the anime and read the first novel). The novel is pretty much exactly the anime, with some extra stuff that couldn't fit into the show's runtime, so I think the show would be the best route to take, especially for new fans. It lets you visualize the characters much better.

Also, Disappearance movie. A+++++++++

God damnit, you guys.

So far, I'm not sure which voice acting I hate more, English or Japanese.

God damnit, and I was so close to getting through Ep. 1 without any boob jokes.

Quote from: Mashi on March 26, 2013, 05:54:37 PMAfter viewing both FMA:Brotherhood and Naruto Shippuden, it would be frivolous to even consider watching an anime as unbearably mediocre as Melancholy. NARUTOxHINATA 4 LYFE!!!

SlowPokemon

Don't come here just to point out things like that. :P I already told you the first few episodes have boob jokes and stuff. On the other hand, stick with the English just for kyon--he's the best of either dub. Mikuru is annoyingly high pitched and Haruhi annoyingly obnoxious at times but especially during the movie, Kyon has a great voice for his character-- Tomokazu Sugito (he Japanese voice) sounds a bit too immature in my opinion. I think they're both really good dubs though.

Trust me, ignoring the fan-service and watching the show is definitely worth it.
It picks up a lot after the first few episodes!
It's dangerous to go alone, take me with you! [JUB has joined the party.]

Who's your favorite supporting character? I've gotta go Asakura myself. She was so epic in everything she appeared in.
