Went to the Pillows' concert last night and it was wild. I had a great time, despite being tired, hungry, and sore from standing for three hours at the end of it.

Today's anime: The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

I know everyone already knows of this anime, but I don't care. :P

First off, I've never been a huge fan of comedy anime series. I honestly don't find most of them to be all that funny. So, it's rather rare for me to find an anime absolutely hilarious, but Haruhi Suzumiya is one of those very few series.

Admittedly, when I downloaded the first episode a couple weeks back, I didn't immediately realize that the entire episode was a fake film (and it also served as a parody of magical girl series and harem anime). But once I caught on, it easily became one of the best first episodes I've seen in any anime, comedy or otherwise.

However, much of that is due to the fact that it wasn't really the first episode. This series takes an interesting approach to the arrangement episodes; the broadcasting order is completely different from the actual chronological order of the episodes. This may seem confusing and unnecessary at first, but it actually works to the series advantage later on; certain climactic episodes that were originally in the middle of the series feel much more effective when placed near the end.

If you're a fan of comedy anime, or even if you aren't, I highly recommend you check this series out. Though, considering how popular this series seems to have become, you'll probably be hearing a lot about it soon enough.

EDIT: Holy crap, look at the rating it has on ANN. I don't think I've ever seen that bar grow so long. o_o
