Review of The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya (2010) by Peter N — 04 Oct 2011
The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya is one of the finest products of the Japanese animation industry. Despite only having 28 half-hour episodes of TV animation to fill its backstory, Disappearance uses it as a strength to create an excellent science-fiction tale laced with drama, suspense, romance and sorrow.
Melancholic and pondering, the 164 minute running time is suited perfectly to this film, as every scene is given the utmost care and attention to detail each and every second. Those wondering what the "big deal" is with anime would do themselves a great disservice by skipping this film and its corresponding TV anime.
It's a beautifully animated, wonderfully scored, perfectly written diamond of fiction that nobody should skip out on. And if subtitles aren't your thing, the English dub from Bandai Entertainment is a great way to experience this franchise for yourself.
You will not regret a single moment.
