Review of The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya (2010) by Jorden L — 07 Jan 2011
Easily the best film that I have viewed thus far in 2011, and something that I can see being very hard to top this year. Also the perfect love letter to fans of the series, especially after abhorring so many with Season 2's Endless Eight, this movie pretty much makes up for it, and I am someone who watched all 8 episodes of Endless Eight, all in one day.
With powerful imagery and symbolism, beautiful cinematography and amazing animation, this film is also truly scenery porn. Although the tone of the film is considerably less upbeat compared to the show for the most part, it still captures the essence of the show, with amazing work done by all the VAs, notably the two with the most screen time - Kyon and Yuki.
Seeing the "normal" Yuki is also an amazing treat. Probably the best film that I saw that came out in 2010. Definitely worth waiting for the BD release for the high quality, and also warrants its 164 minute length.
