+ The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya

+A world without Haruhi is not a world in which I want to live.

+
+All right, I have to admit up front that I'm in love with Haruhi. This
+review is unavoidably coloured by my attachment to the character.
+
+Even so, this movie is great :) If you haven't watched at least the
+first season of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, go do so now. I'll
+wait. Done? Good.
+
+After a "normal" day at the SOS Brigade, Kyon wakes up in a world in
+which Haruhi does not sit behind him in class, apparently no one at
+Kita High has ever heard of her, and there's no sign of the SOS
+Brigade. The only glimmer of hope if Nagato, who's the only member of
+the Literature Club, just as she was before Haruhi found her. Will
+this be enough to restore Haruhi to the world? Does Kyon even want to?
+Or would he quite prefer this more prosaic version, without Haruhi's
+bossing?
+
+No, I'm not going to tell you the ending. Seriously, get this movie
+and watch it. Don't feel embarrassed if you want to watch it more than
+once :)
+
+This movie would be part of my (not so small) set of "anime movies you
+really have to watch", were it not that it's completely impossible to
+understand on its own. You are supposed to know already who the
+characters are, their personality and relationships. I know that most
+movies-from-a-series have this issue, and that trying to introduce the
+characters again would have bogged down half the movie and bored the
+fans; still, I can't say "watch this, it's great!" to anyone who
+hasn't seen the series, I can't use it to introduce people to good
+anime.  This is, essentially, a long episode: if you are not sure you
+like the series, this movie will quite probably not change your
+opinion one way or the other; if you like the series, you'll love this
+movie.
+
+We get to see some new facets of the main characters: Kyon is more
+active than in the past, and has some interesting, although not very
+explicit, soul-searching time; Nagato is shy and cute and not sure
+what to do with her feelings; Mikuru is even more passive and useless
+than usual; Koizumi is not his reserved and mysterious self. And the
+big reveal at the end is a very nice piece of character development:
+although in hindsight it feels almost unavoidable given the
+personalities and roles in play, it's still interesting and
+surprising. And the story is peppered with hints that you probably
+don't get the first time you watch it.
+
+Short version: what are you doing reading this review? Go get and
+watch the movie!
